Here is how it all works...
A.R.S. §
49-588 requires all large employers in Maricopa County,
such as the State of Arizona, to conduct an annual survey of
employee’s travel patterns. We are required to prepare and implement a plan
to reduce employee commute trips or commute miles by 10%
each year for a
total of five years, and then 5 percent for three additional
years, or until a 60 percent rate of Single Occupant Vehicle
(SOV) travel is reached.
Progress toward this goal is measured by the
Annual Travel Reduction Survey.
This survey is conducted every March.
Maricopa
County
processes these
surveys and an analysis of each site (a building or group
of buildings with 50 or more employees) is generated
about mid-Summer. These analyses provide a detailed picture
of employee commute habits at their respective sites. The
analysis also sets travel reduction goals for future years.
The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of state agency
employees within Maricopa County who drive alone to the work
site to 60 percent or less of the agency’s total employee
population. Each agency’s survey data is utilized to
evaluate the effectiveness of their Travel Reduction Plan
and to ascertain the
need for new or revised travel reduction strategies.
