RESOLUTION NO. a3/48 <br /> A RESOLUTION establishing the City of Everett Rideshare <br /> Program designated as 'Everett on The M.O.V.E. ' . <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Everett finds <br /> that an overwhelming majority of employees of the City of <br /> Everett commute to and from work in single occupancy <br /> vehicles; and <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the <br /> proliferation of single occupancy vehicle commuting <br /> contributes to air pollution, to traffic congestion, and <br /> consumes valuable land in commercial and industrial areas; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish employee <br /> policies and programs which encourage usage of public <br /> transportation/multiple occupancy of private commuter <br /> vehicles in order to serve as an example for other employers <br /> and employees in this area; <br /> NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF <br /> THE CITY OF EVERETT: <br /> 1. The Mayor is authorized to establish policies and <br /> programs encouraging ridership of City employees on City <br /> buses and other publicly owned vehicles, including Community <br /> Transit and Metro buses and vanpools, as well as privately- <br /> owned ridesharing vehicles. Said policies and programs may <br /> include use of incentive and disincentive options which have <br /> proven to be effective elsewhere, such as promotional or <br /> discounted transit fares and preferential parking for <br /> carpools and vanpools for City employees. <br /> 2 . The Mayor is authorized to enter agreements with <br /> other agencies promoting commuter ridership and to prepare <br /> promotional literature and materials, utilizing Transit <br /> Enterprise Funding. <br /> ,.
