EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION <br />The Growth Management Act requires larger employers (those with more than loo daytime employees at a <br />worksite) to develop Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plans. The objective of this program is to encourage <br />employees to use other means of travel, such as carpools, vanpools, transit, flex -days and telecommuting, to <br />reduce SOV travel in the peak commute periods. <br />As of 2015, there are just under 30 CTR employers in Everett. These employers are required to file an annual <br />report on their CTR activities and conduct a commute mode survey every two years. The most recent results were <br />submitted in 2014 as summarized in Figure 6 and visualized in Figure 7 on the following page. <br />Employers in Subarea 5 had the lowest SOV mode split at 78.5%, which was partially achieved by having the <br />highest HOV usage of 13.8%. While CTR employers are required to have a CTR plan, they develop their own <br />programs to achieve the jurisdictional targets established by the state and incorporated in the City's CTR Plan. <br />There are no specific incentives or penalties to the employers if the targets are not achieved <br />Figure 6: CTR Mode Split <br />G <br />1 <br />o% 5% 10% 15% 20% <br />Percent of Commute Trips <br />■ Car/Van ■ Transit ■ Bike/ ■ Telecommute <br />Pool Walk <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 8 <br />
