The Commute Calendar provides a simple and elegant interface for employees participating in a Commute Trip Reduction program to track how they get to work. Employees register once, creating their commute profile. This commute profile holds information such as the employee's typical work schedule, one way miles to work, carpool members, and more. The profile provides the facility to automatically populate their calendar with a default commute mode, and automatically calculate miles saved by the employee in using a commute mode.

Once registered, the employee is free to log on at anytime from work or home to update the modes they used to get to work. Their commute calendar provides a simple interface where the employee simply selects the day they would like to edit by clicking on the date in the calendar. The employee is then presented with a menu to select their commute mode for that day. Upon selection of a mode, the calendar will automatically set the mode. Their selected mode then appear next to the date on the calendar. Any changes to the employee calendar are registered instantly, providing an up to date view to the Employer, and the Commute Trip Reduction office implementing this application.

The employer is presented with an interface that allows them to view the current status of their employee's commute calendars, a summary of the miles saved by their employees participating in the commute trip reduction program, and the ability to update and edit an employee's commute profile and commute calendar. Other features offered to employers include the ability to define departments to help organize their employees, and a random winner selection tool to award employees who excel in their usage of alternative commute modes.

The Commute Trip Reduction office that implements this application is provided an interface to all employees registered for the Commute Calendar. This interface allows for a quick summary of all work sites and individual work sites in their commute trip reduction efforts. They have full access to user profiles and calendars to provide additional support to employers participating in the program. The Commute Trip Reduction interface also provides added features including a random winner selector, first time user summary, interfaces for customizing the look and feel of the Commute Calendar, advertisement management and summary, reporting, and data export facilities.
