ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PlanSource, a leading provider of cloud-based benefits and HR software, has been designated as a Best Workplace for Commuters by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
"Along with providing a stimulating and rewarding work experience for our employees inside the office, it is important for us to also give them opportunities to have a stress-free and environmentally-friendly commute and offer productive telecommuting options," said Jagdish Chugani, VP of Human Resources at PlanSource.

As part of the company's comprehensive commuter benefits program, PlanSource offers paid parking and transportation reimbursement as well as other benefits, including:

- Emergency ride home service in partnership with reThink Your Commute.
