Champion Business Leader

Mary Cooper - WA State Division of Child Support

Mary Cooper, Program Manager for WA State DSHS - Division of Child Support (recently retired) has been a longtime supporter of their Commute Smart program, knowing the many benefits it provides their employees. Mary always asked that all team supervisors support the program and encouraged all their staff to participate.

With many of their staff teleworking, their employees enjoy the benefits of spending less days commuting into the office, saving money on their commutes and enjoying a healthy work/life balance.

Mary also knows how important public transportation is. For those that can’t or won’t drive, public transportation provides safe and reliable transportation options to move throughout our region.

Mary believes a Commute Smart program provides employees with a sense of accomplishment for participating in a program that benefits their community in such an impactful way.
