The City uses this information to create new services that help residents, visitors, and employees move around more easily.

Environmental quality is critically damaged by transportation emissions, which contribute to more than 60% of greenhouse gas emissions in Santa Monica. Public health suffers from smog exposure, which disproportionately affects communities along the freeways. Cost savings for you and your employees when there are fewer parking charges, lower fuel and maintenance costs, and tax-free commuter benefits. Time savings make everyone s day better because carpool lanes move twice the speed during rush hour. Reduced stress and improved health are proven results from biking, walking, and public transit use. Increased productivity and employee retention when your employees are happy,healthy and spending time doing other things than driving. More parking available for customers and visitors when employees leave their cars at home and free up spaces for others.
