“The benefits of using the CommuteSmart program has been clear. It has helped SPOC utilize our existing real-estate footprint and reduced the need to relocate the plant to a new site for several years. The program has improved consistency of the team members time schedules and fostered a great team camaraderie among participating employees. All the SPOC team members involved in the program are pleased with the experience, benefits and cost savings.” – Robert Mason, CEO SPOC
