Scoop Commute, the leading carpooling app that helps employees commute together in the same direction, reveals today the launch of its RTO Carpool Perk - a new HR benefits program designed to support companies navigating return-to-office (RTO) mandates. With up to 50% of workers returning to the office full-time in 2025, the program helps HR, facility, and transportation teams offer a cost-effective, convenient, and sustainable commuting solution that improves employee satisfaction, retention, and reduces environmental impact.

The new employee perk includes a tailored carpool matching service that connects employees with similar schedules and routes. This simple, customized solution helps businesses lower transportation costs, streamline logistics, and provide employees with a more sustainable and convenient way to commute, ultimately improving productivity and retention. 

With 33% of U.S. employers already mandating full-time office returns - and projections showing that number will rise - carpooling is emerging as a crucial workplace perk. Leading global firms in San Francisco, Seattle, and beyond are adopting carpooling to help cut commuting costs, reduce travel times, and minimize single-occupancy vehicle use.

Jeremy Zuker, CEO at Scoop Commute comments: “Many companies are mandating full-time office returns, and providing a seamless, cost-effective commuting solution which is a key part of incentivizing employees to RTO. By tailoring our programs to fit each organization’s needs, we’re helping businesses make in-office work more accessible and appealing for their teams. 

“Carpooling not only provides teams with valuable opportunities to connect outside of the office, it supports financial wellness, and makes for happier commutes. As organizations compete for the best employees, offering flexible, cost-effective, and employee-friendly transportation benefits is becoming a key differentiator.”

Companies driving the RTO shift have emphasised the benefits of in-person work, such as fostering cultural cohesion, boosting collaboration, enhancing productivity, and enabling mentorship.
