I have started research on the new project I was assigned to at LISC. Currently I am reading The Trip Reduction Ordinance passed by Arizona Legislature in 1988. This is an air quality bill that requires all employers and schools with 50 or more employees to design and implement their own Trip Reduction Programs. This will play a significant role when finding the employers that are within the Neighborhood Stabilization Communities. Our program will offer one more alternative to employers to comply with the ordinance, by having their employees purchase foreclosed properties closer to work. It will also give us some insight into who is actually complying, and raising their awareness.
The overall goal for the ordinance is for employee’s to reduce single occupant vehicle trips or miles traveled to the employer’s work site by 10 percent a year for a total of five years. The next three years employer’s target is to reduce trips by 5 percent, with an overall target reduction of 60 percent at each work site. LISC program is intended to help make these goals achievable.

A few weeks ago the City of Phoenix sent out its trip reduction survey to all of its employees - I wasn't really aware of what it was so I didn't fill it out. However, after having visited your link, the trip reduction program looks like a really great program with admirable goals. I guess I should take the survey more seriously next time.
ReplyDeleteAnother great plan being implenmented in other cities is the four day work week.
