With all the publicity about companies trying to decrease their health insurance costs, it might be an approach for you to try. Companies are realizing that to spend a few $$ encouraging employees to make healthy lifestyle changes saves even more $$ in health insurance premiums.

Weight loss, exercise, and smoking cessation efforts are high on the list of programs that are being presented. I'd say commuting fits in perfectly! This is an area where everybody wins, it's not a matter of the employee losing compensation or the company paying more. You get healthier and they save money.

If your appeal for resources mentions that you will be enhancing your wellness, you might get further. If you're not on their health plan, point out that examples are needed for people to follow. Good luck!
