Workplace Commute Cost & Emissions Snapshot

Estimate the hidden cost of staff commuting — in minutes, not weeks.

The free Workplace Commute Cost & Emissions Snapshot gives employers a quick indicative estimate of how staff commuting may be affecting parking demand, emissions and staff travel costs.

A lightweight starting point — not a full assessment

Use this free snapshot when you want a rough sense of scale before deciding whether to invest in a deeper analysis. It is designed for HR, sustainability, facilities and leadership teams who need a quick indicative estimate — not a formal business case.

Free Snapshot

Quick indicative estimate using broad assumptions about workforce size, travel patterns and typical costs. Useful for early conversations and internal scoping.

Paid Commute Opportunity Report

Site-specific, de-identified workforce analysis with commute clusters, shift compatibility, staff willingness, barriers and a clear recommendation on next steps.

Workplace Commute Cost & Emissions Snapshot

Note: This snapshot uses broad assumptions. The Commute Opportunity Report replaces assumptions with de-identified workforce data, including commute clusters, site and shift compatibility, staff willingness, barriers and likely next steps.

Step 2 of 3 — How people commute

What are these distances? City averages reflect where employees actually live relative to typical workplaces, based on BITRE/ABS commute data: Melbourne 14.6 km · Sydney 15.0 km · Brisbane & Perth 14.9 km · Adelaide 12.4 km. Select a specific distance if your site is in an unusually central or remote location.

Step 3 of 3 — Ready to calculate

We'll estimate your organisation's current commute footprint, parking cost burden, and what a carpooling program could achieve. You can explore different scenarios interactively on the results page.

About this snapshot
Results use Australian benchmark data including NTC fleet emissions factors, BITRE/ABS city commute distances, and indicative parking cost rates. All figures are estimates — the Commute Opportunity Report replaces these with your actual workforce data.
