Our Community Involvement

Cambridge Systematics has been in the business of improving transportation systems to create more livable communities and to improve the quality of life for the public for nearly 40 years. We continue to encourage each of our staff to contribute to the reduction of green house gases at work and at home and inspire them to make a lasting contribution to both local communities and the world at large. Our local community outreach targets the areas in which we live, and each office selects its own organizations to partner with.

Our employees are making a difference

In keeping with our core values, we actively support the volunteer efforts of our staff. We encourage employees to participate in community services and charitable events by offering flexible schedules.

Cambridge Systematics is dedicated to working with our community neighbors. For the past 13 years, our Cambridge, MA headquarters has partnered with the Cambridge School Volunteers (CSV) and have contributed time and money to support community development through the NetPals Program, arranged through CSV. Currently, 40% of our Cambridge staff volunteer, paired with a sixth grade student from the Peabody Elementary School and exchange e-mails. Throughout the school year, students share assignments and we offer positive feedback and suggestions. The program fosters the improvement of writing and computer skills, and increases career awareness through one-on-one virtual mentoring and four face-to-face visits.

Giving Back

In the 2011 holiday season, Cambridge Systematics donated $1,000 from each office to a charity located in their city. Each office selected a charity that serves their local community so that we can give back to the communities in which we live and work. The charities selected helped feed the hungry, house the homeless, work towards eliminating hate violence, help battered women and children, and mentor school children.
