We strive to keep this trip reduction ordinance database continually
up-to-date so that accurate information is provided.
It is our goal to make this database comprehensive and inclusive of all
existing trip reduction ordinances. If

Some of the more well-known trip
reduction regulations include:
Rule
2202 (Southern California)
Rule 2202 has been designed to reduce
emissions from mobile sources. The rule provides employers with a menu of
options that they can choose from to implement and meet the emission reduction
target (ERT) for their worksite.
The various emissions reduction
strategies and trip reduction strategies currently contained in the rule that
employers can implement and receive credit towards their ERT's are listed
below.
As an alternative to meeting the ERT
at their worksite the rule allows the employers optional implementation of an
Employee Commute Reduction Program. Implementation details of this strictly
optional program are included in the Employee
Commute Reduction Program Guidelines. This document outlines the framework,
calculation methodology, and criteria used in determining emission reductions
credits and vehicle trip emission credits (VTECs) that can be applied towards
meeting emission reduction targets (ERT)
Commute
Trip Reduction (State of Washington)
Affected employers are asked to measure their progress against the average
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and single occupant vehicle (SOV) commute trips
made by employees at worksites in their area. The CTR Program establishes target
commute trip reduction goals of 20 percent by 1997, 25 percent by 1999, and 35
percent by 2005.
Maricopa
County Trip Reduction Program (Phoenix, AZ)
Large employers must implement all trip reduction and/or equivalent emissions
reduction measures approved by the Task Force to: 1) maintain a rate of
single-occupancy vehicle trips or rate of single-occupancy vehicle miles
traveled for employees of not more than sixty percent, or 2) attain target
reductions in single-occupancy vehicle trips or single-occupancy vehicle miles
traveled. The first year target will be a ten percent reduction from the
baseline established for the rate of single-occupancy vehicle trips or the rate
of single-occupancy vehicle miles traveled. The second through fifth year target
will be a ten percent reduction from the target of the previous year; targets
following the fifth year will be a five percent reduction from the target of the
previous year, or 3) attain the equivalent emissions reduction target for the
rate of single-occupancy vehicle trips or single-occupancy vehicle miles
traveled.
Employee
Commute Options (ECO) program (Portland, OR)
Under the ECO program, employers in the Portland area with more than 100
employees reporting to a single worksite must provide incentives for alternative
commute options. These commute options must have the potential to reduce the
number of employee cars driven to the worksite by approximately 10 percent
within three years. Annual employee surveys will measure progress toward this
goal. Employers comply by surveying employees to determine current commute
methods, preparing a plan to meet target reduction and submitting the plan to
Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for approval. Compliance is
based on submitting and implementing an approvable plan, or informing DEQ
of the intent to accomplish the target reduction, and design and implement a
program without DEQ's review. Compliance is based on whether a good faith effort
was made to achieve the target reduction.
DEQ provides other possible ways for
employers to comply with ECO. For some employers, these strategies may be more
feasible and cost-effective than providing commute options. These might
include:
