• <br /> • To evaluate the costs and benefits to employers and the public of the CTR Law - to assess the <br /> effectiveness of the program (voluntary). <br /> • To establish CTR zone base year values in counties where surveys are deemed necessary <br /> (required). <br /> • To give credit for TDM programs existing prior to the base year (voluntary). <br /> • To measure progress toward goals in 1995, 1997, and 1999 (required). <br /> • To establish site-specific base year values for employers that request modifications of program <br /> requirements (voluntary). <br /> Alternative Data on Employee Commute Patterns <br /> The State and the City will make every effort to minimize the cost and burden of surveys on <br /> employers. Therefore, employers may use an alternative report that provides information equivalent <br /> to the official survey. The information must have been collected within the 12 months before the <br /> time a survey would have been conducted. The employer must demonstrate to the City of Everett <br /> that the information is equivalent, based on the following criteria: <br /> • Employees are verified as regular, full-time (35 hours per week) employees who begin their <br /> regular work day between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. (inclusive), two or more weekdays, for 12 <br /> continuous months; <br /> • Telecommuting and alternative work schedules, such as compressed work weeks, are documented <br /> and categorized by type and frequency; <br /> • Commute mode choice is identified for the dominant mode for each trip; and <br /> • If employees use carpools or vanpools, the number of people in these vehicles is provided. <br /> Equivalent Information <br /> Equivalent information stands alone as a substitute for the state-provided survey. For example: <br /> • Data base that demonstrates actual commuting behavior (daily trip logs). Acceptable in all <br /> measurement years. <br /> • Travel survey that uses the state-provided survey form with electronic data collection (computer <br /> or telephone methods). Acceptable in all measurement years. <br /> • Travel survey done within the last 12 months that clearly denotes affected employees. Acceptable <br /> for the 1992-93 base year only. <br /> 13 <br />
