Employee Commute Options

Employee Commute Options is a mandatory program for large employers. Under DEQ's ECO Program, employers with more than 100 employees must provide commute options to employees designed to reduce the number of cars driven to work in Portland and surrounding areas.

If you have more than 100 employees at a single work site, you are subject to ECO rules. Call us at 503-229-6154 or email if you need information on how to comply, or next steps.
