SMART REWARDs

An incentive program for all employer to offer to their employees. Employers register their business so employees can participate. This program is managed through the Get There Oregon website. To register please send an email to let us know you would like to be included.

This is a FREE benefit program you can offer your employees, that SMART will administer - you simply need to share with your workforce and encourage participation.

Employees can collect up to four gift cards per calendar year. Employees earn 1 point for each day with a commute by bike, walk, carpool, vanpool, or transit.
