Juniper Networks, Inc., Sunnyvale, California
At its headquarters in Sunnyvale, Juniper Networks employees enjoy many
commuter benefits. Eco Passes, which provide free use of participating
bus and light rail programs seven days a week, are available to all employees.
Juniper has set a very aggressive trip reduction goal of more than 20
percent over a 2-year period.
Program at a Glance
Additionally, all employees can take advantage of pre-tax benefits for
the use of transit and vanpools; bicycling, walking, carpooling and vanpool
support; preferential parking for carpoolers; transit shuttles; and an
Emergency Ride Home program. Juniper Networks also offers employees a
host of on-site amenities, including dental services, a volleyball and
basketball court, a fitness center, and a full-service cafeteria.
Juniper Networks also offers employees a vast array of commuting information
on a company Intranet site. The site not only contains information on
Juniper Networks' commuter benefits program, but also links to general
transit information and services. The Intranet site even includes transit
commute options for getting to and from the Juniper Networks' offices!
In May of each year, the company holds a Bike to Work Day to encourage
employees to try commuting to work via bicycle. Employees get free bike
tune-ups and participants are eligible for other prizes. The day coincides
with Bike to Work Week and draws bike vendors from around the area.
Program Recognition
In 2001, Juniper Networks earned the Best Workplaces for Commuters SM distinction. The Bay Area
Air Quality Management District named Juniper Networks as one of its "impact"
award recipients for the 2001 Spare the Air Employer Program, and the
City of Sunnyvale awarded the company a 2002 Environmental Achievement
Award for Transportation Programs.
Juniper Networks employees overwhelmingly support the program, which
continues to see increasing levels of participation.
