Implement Commuter Trip Reduction Initiative (TLU Action 2.A.1)

Establish a state-supported initiative to increase the number of employers implementing commuter trip reduction programs. These programs use a variety of strategies to promote commuting and work options that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in comparison with single-occupancy-vehicle travel. Possible strategies include parking "cash-out," car/van pooling, flex time, and telecommuting. The proposed state initiative would use mechanisms such as targeted education and outreach, awards and recognition, and business tax incentives to promote more widespread availability of commuter trip reduction programs.
