Facility Design

walkers Ensuring employment sites in Birmingham are accessible is paramount to the region’s success. Developers and property managers play an integral part in this because they design their facilities to encourage - or discourage - a variety of transportation options. Buildings that are easy to access by vanpool, foot or bus, and not just single-occupancy vehicles, will be necessary as more employers move into the region.

CommuteSmart can conduct an evaluation of your worksite to assess physical opportunities and barriers to successful commute option programs, such as location of amenities in relation to the worksite, sidewalks, parking opportunities, placement of bus shelters and more.

Evaluations will also include assessment of:

Pedestrian walkways
Parking areas
Building orientation
Passenger loading areas
Transit access and visibility
Bicycle amenities
Access to services and amenities
Information areas

All site evaluations include recommendations and are a free service provided by CommuteSmart. Interested companies and organizations should contact us at 1-87-RIDEMATCH or email us for further information.
