A. Credit for Sites that Have Already Met a Future Goal. Credit may be granted for sites that already have met a future goal. Credit will be granted in 1993 if:

1. The site has an existing transportation program implemented prior to 1992 and survey data show the site is at least twelve percent below the SOV trip rate and VMT per employee base year values for its CTR zone; or

2. The site did not have a prior transportation program, but survey data show the site already has met its 1995 goal of a fifteen percent reduction from its zone values.

Employers applying for the program credit in their initial 1993 program description shall be considered to have met the 1995 CTR goals if their VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips are equivalent to a twelve percent or greater reduction from the base year zone values. This three percentage point credit applies only to the 1995 CTR goals.

For the initial year, employer requests for program credit are due within three months after notification that the employer is subject to this chapter. Request for program credit must be received by the employer’s assigned reporting dates in 1995 and 1997 for succeeding year.

Application for a program credit shall include an initial program description, written commitment on an official report form to maintain program elements, and results from a survey of employees, or equivalent information that establishes the applicant’s VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips. The survey or equivalent information shall conform to all applicable standards established in the director’s rules for implementation of this chapter.

B. Credit for Alternative Work Schedules, Telecommuting, Bicycling and Walking, by Affected Employees.

1. The city will count commute trips eliminated through alternative work schedules, telecommuting options, bicycling and walking as 1.2 vehicle trips eliminated. This assumption applies to both the proportion of SOV trips and VMT per employee.

2. This type of credit is applied when calculating the SOV and VMT rates of affected employees. (Ord. 729 § 11, 1993).
