Ordinance 1925-93 - Laserfiche WebLink

• If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees 12 or more months after its change in status to an "unaffected" employer, that employer shall be treated as a new affected employer, and will be subject to the same program requirements as other new affected employers (two years to achieve 15% reduction). Program Requirements An affected employer is required to develop and implement a CTR program that will encourage its employees to reduce VMT per employee and SOV commute trips. The CTR program must include the mandatory elements described below that are necessary to achieve the CTR goals adopted by ordinance. The employer shall submit a description of its program to Everett Public Works Department and provide an annual progress report to the Department on employee commuting and progress toward meeting the SOV goals. The CTR program description presents the strategies to be undertaken by an employer to achieve the commute trip reduction goals for 1995, 1997, and 1999. Employers are encouraged to consider innovative strategies and combine program elements in a manner that will best suit their location, site characteristics, business type, and employees' commuting needs. Employers are further encouraged to cooperate with each other and to form or use transportation management organizations in developing and implementing CTR programs. At a minimum, the employer's program description must include: (a) General description of the employment site location, transportation characteristics, and surrounding services, including unique conditions experienced by the employer or its employees; (b) Number of employees affected by the CTR program; (c) Documentation of compliance with the mandatory CTR program elements; (d) Description of the additional elements included in the CTR program and (e) Schedule of implementation, assignment of responsibilities, and commitment to provide appropriate resources. Mandatory Elements • The employer shall designate an employee transportation coordinator (ETC) to administer the CTR program. The coordinator's and/or designee's name, location, and telephone number must be displayed prominently at each affected worksite. Coordinators shall be trained in CTR program development and administration through a program approved by the City. (These programs include, but are not limited to training developed by Community Transit, Metro, the State CTR training program, and similar programs in other jurisdictions.) The coordinator shall oversee all elements of the employer's CTR program and act as liaison between the employer and the City. Coordinators may work with Community Transit representatives for training and assistance in program development.The objective is to have an effective transportation coordinator presence at each worksite; an affected employer with multiple sites may have one transportation coordinator for all sites. The employer shall negotiate with the City for the number of coordinators required. 27
