  • Trip Point Details
    • A trip to and from work is ONE commute trip
    • Log trips for WORK COMMUTES only
      • For example, commuters are not allowed to log a visit to the grocery store in which they carpooled with a spouse or child as a carpool trip
    • Commuters can log only 1 commute trip per day for each mode of transportation
      • Therefore, if a commuter uses a combination of modes for one commute trip, he or she should log each form on the sheet. (For example, if you ride the bus and ride your bike, log one trip for bus and one trip for bike for that day.)
