The City of Westminster, measured.
A year of measurable progress toward cleaner, smarter, more rewarding commutes for City employees, and the strongest year yet in a three-year partnership with Commutrics.
A program that compounds.
The City of Westminster completed its third year of partnership with Commutrics in 2025, and it was the strongest yet. The program reached 170 enrolled employees, of whom 131 actively logged trips. Year over year, every metric improved, by margins that signal a maturing program where habits, infrastructure, and incentives now reinforce one another.
The 2025 program delivered measurable wins on every objective from the original 2023 pilot: lower emissions, reduced parking demand, healthier employees, and qualified use of Colorado's HB22-1026 tax credit. With trip volume and CO₂ savings both more than doubling year over year, it has graduated from pilot success to a mature, scalable City service.
How the City rewards the right behavior.
Employees earn points for every logged commute, weighted toward low-carbon modes. Points convert to a cash benefit, capped at $30 per month.
Four $10 monthly prizes reward top performers, and themed seasonal challenges, Bike Month in June, Green-Tober in October, keep participation high all year.
2024 → 2025: every metric moved up and to the right.
Trip volume grew 65%, alternative-mode trips grew 70%, and CO₂ savings more than doubled, all while the program ran on a leaner incentive structure than the year before.
And it did this on a leaner budget: per-trip points were cut across every mode and the monthly cap dropped from $35 to $30. Engagement and impact grew anyway: the hallmark of a maturing program where culture, not just payouts, does the work. Cost per kg of CO₂ avoided fell from $0.34 to $0.16 in a single year.
How Westminster gets to work.
Across 38,908 logged trips, alternative modes carried more than a third, and drive-alone fell every month against the baseline.
The City's return on participation.
Lower emissions, fewer parking spaces to supply, and a program that pays for itself several times over.
What Westminster employees are saying.
November 2025 feedback survey · 73 respondents (68 enrolled Commutrics users).
It has encouraged me to use my bike way more frequently, and to engage more in bike-to-work days and bike/green month challenges. This has also led to more recreational biking with my family. Great benefit!
My awareness increased being informed on the differences each type of commute made. That was motivating to carpool more and explore other options.
The program is a regular reminder that alternatives for commuting are available. I love that I can collect points for driving an EV. I enjoyed seeing colleagues compete or use different resources to commute.
The program has influenced me to be more conscious of my commuting habits. I like the challenges and seeing my ranking compared to other coworkers.
It really helped motivate me to participate in helping the environment with changing how I commute to work. It is amazing how it shows how much you are contributing.
The program did incentivize me to ride my bike more. I had never ridden my bike to work before this program, and really enjoyed the challenge. I loved finding new trails and routes to work as I grew more connected to the community.
