Ordinance 1925-93 - Laserfiche WebLink

• The number of ETC's will be determined using an estimate of full-time equivalents (FTEs) needed to undertake the duties of implementing an employers program. Each individual employers situation will be different, in terms of location, number of sites and proximity of sites to one another, and elements of the program. The Task Force Guidelines, Model Employer Programs section suggests that one full-time ETC is needed per 4,000 employees. The guidelines also recommend one person per site for large, multi-site companies. • Information about alternatives to SOV commuting shall be provided to employees at least twice a year. Community Transit has developed a variety of this type of information which may be used, or an employer may develop its own information program. Each employer's program description and annual report to the City must report the information to be distributed and the method of distribution. • The CTR program must include an annual review of employee commuting and of progress toward meeting the SOV reduction goals. Affected employers shall file an annual progress report with the City in accordance with the format established by the Everett CTR Ordinance and consistent with the CTR Task Force Guidelines. The report shall describe each of the CTR measures that were in effect for the previous year, the results of any commuter surveys undertaken during the year, and the number of employees participating in CTR programs. Within the report the employer should evaluate the effectiveness of the CTR program and if necessary, propose modification to achieve the CTR goals. Survey information or approved alternative information must be provided in the 1995, 1997, and 1999 reports. The employer should contact the designated official in the Everett Public Works Department for the format of the report, which shall include a section to be returned to the City and a section to be returned to the Washington State Energy Office. Employers shall maintain records related to CTR programs for 36 months. Optional Elements In addition to the specific program elements described above, the employer's CTR program shall include additional elements needed to meet CTR goals. Elements may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: • Provision of preferential parking or reduced parking charges, or both, for high- occupancy vehicles and bicycles; • Instituting or increasing parking charges for SOVs; • Provision of commuter ride matching services to facilitate employee ride sharing for commute trips; • More frequent promotional activities; • Orientation programs for new employees; • Restriction of parking availability; • Provision of subsidies for transit fares; • Provision of vans for vanpools; 28
