Who is
eligible to participate in Workout to Work?
Employees
and residents of a Seaport
TMA member company are eligible to participate in all
Seaport TMA commuter programs. For Workout to Work, you must
walk or ride your bike for some or all of your commute.
How far do
I have to walk or ride my bike in order to participate in
Workout to Work?
While
there is no minimum number of miles, there are specifics
about what qualifies for this program. If you are completely
replacing one part of your commuter with walking or riding
your bike, then you are eligible. Examples: if you walk
to/from South Station to your office instead of taking the
Silver Line; if you ride your bike to/from home to the train
station instead of driving your car. Walking from the Silver
Line's World Trade Center Station to the World Trade Center
West building does not qualify.
How do I
register for Workout to Work?
Registration in Workout to Work is completed
online. If
there are any problems with your registration, we will
contact you via email. If you think there is a problem with
your registration (i.e. you did not see the "Thank You" page
when you clicked "Submit"), please
contact us.
I am
having trouble registering. Who should I contact?
Email the Seaport
TMA or call (617) 385-5515.
How long
will I stay in the program?
You
remain in the program until: (1) you are no longer walking
or riding your bike to work for some or all of your commute;
(2) you opt out of the program; (3) you are no longer an
employee or resident of a Seaport TMA member company; or (4)
you are removed from the program by the Seaport TMA staff
for misuse.
Will
Seaport TMA share my personal/contact information?
Your
personal information is kept solely in our databases and is
not sent to any outside organizations for any reason. We may
use information about your uses when compiling statistical
data about the program overall, but your personal
information (name, employer, home address, email, etc.) is
not included. Additionally your employer may ask us for a
list of names of employees participating in our programs.
Do I need
to re-register or update my information every year?
No. As
with all other Seaport TMA programs, you remain in
the program until: (1) you are no longer utilizing an
alternative commute mode a minimum of two days per week; (2)
you opt out of the program; (3) you are no longer an
employee or resident of a Seaport TMA member company; or (4)
you are removed from the program by the Seaport TMA staff
for misuse.
How much
does Workout to Work cost?
Workout to Work is one of several
free
commuter programs offered by the Seaport TMA. There is no
charge for participation. The taxi cab voucher we send you
covers the entire cost of your ride, including fare, tip and
tolls.
How will I
know if I've won the monthly raffle?
Winners
are announced in our monthly commuter e-newsletter. There is
a link to the current month's newsletter on our home page.
To ensure that you receive the newsletter, add
SeaportTMA@fmr.com
to your contacts. If you still do not receive it, please
contact us via email
or call (617) 385-5515.
I won this
month's raffle. What do I need to do to get my prize?
Email us. We will
tell you if that month's prize is something specific or if
you have won the choice of a gift card to a sports store. If
that month's prize is specific, it will be mailed to you
directly. If the prize is the choice of a gift card, we will
reply to your email with a list of gift cards to choose from
(usually
Finish Line, Foot Locker, Nike, EMS, REI or Sports
Authority). Let us know your choice and it will be mailed to
you shortly thereafter.
Where will
you send my prize and how long
will it take for it to arrive?
All
communication is done through your employer, so prizes are
mailed to you at your work address. Outside of unforeseen
occurrences, prizes are mailed out within the same month and
typically within two weeks of announcement.
I won this
month's raffle. Can I exchange the prize I received for the gift
card of my choice?
As a
non-profit organization, the Seaport TMA utilizes the most
cost-efficient means possible for prizes. At times this may
mean that we have other items that we use instead of
purchasing gift cards. In order to remain fiscally
responsible, we must use what makes the most sense to enable
us to continue providing our programs.
I won the
raffle but never received my prize. What do I do?
Email us and we will
work to rectify the situation.
I lost my
gift card. Can I get another one?
We may be
able to move the balance from the lost card to a new one,
but this is not always the case and is at the retailer's
discretion, not ours.
Email us. We keep strict records of each and every prize
sent out, so we will do what we can to rectify the
situation. Please note that this can take quite a bit of
time to correct.
How will I
know that my miles submission went through?
When you
click "Submit," you should see a message that says: "Thank
you for submitting your status report and for participating
in Try Transit. You should receive your next Commuter Check
soon." If you do
not see this, please complete the
monthly
status report again.
