Supporting Information Supporting information does not stand alone, but can be used in addition to survey data if an employer's response rate is below 70 percent. For example: • Transit pass sales or records of subsidies paid for carpools or vanpools. Acceptable as "supporting" data in all measurement years. In the 1992-93 base year only, these records may also be accepted as "equivalent" information. • Parking lot counts, where affected employees' actual commute trip behavior is measured and documented during the peak period, Monday through Friday. Access and egress points must be completely monitored. Acceptable as "supporting" data in all measurement years. Unacceptable Information Any information that cannot be validated by the employer and/or the City is unacceptable information. For example: • Driveway counts where access and egress is not completely monitored. • Aerial photographs that cannot be validated with workshift information. If an employer can provide basic mode choice information, but not all information required to be equivalent, the City shall use minimum default values. For example, if an employer can verify that a vanpool has at least seven employees on a passenger list (who may work for different employers) then that vanpool shall count as zero vehicle trips. If an employer can provide the number of employees who use carpools or vanpools, but not the occupancy in those vehicles, the City shall assume that they have two occupants. If an employer does not provide adequate information on alternative work schedules or telecommuting, the City shall assume no employees use these alternative modes. When alternative information is provided, the affected employer shall provide the raw data file upon which the information is based to the City of Everett, with all employee identifiers removed, in a format to be specified by the state technical assistance team. Survey Design The City of Everett will use the state-provided survey to measure affected employers' progress towards goal attainment. The City will not require employers to hire professionals to administer the survey. If employers do not have an alternative source of equivalent information, they shall use the official state provided survey. The employer may not delete questions from the state survey. However, the state provided survey has a voluntary attachment, which the employer may use to design its own program. This voluntary attachment includes questions related to program planning and 14
