(1) Affected employers may apply for prior program credit by applying to the county in their initial program description. Application shall include results from a base-year 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 CTR Task Force Guidelines.

(2) Affected employers applying for prior program credit shall be considered to have met the first measurement goals if their VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips are equivalent to a 12 percent or greater reduction from the base-year zone values. This three percentage point credit applies only to the first measurement goals.

(3) The county will allow existing trip reduction programs of any affected employers found to meet the first measurement goals to also meet all initial CTR program requirements except for the three basic elements: appointment of an ETC, transportation information distribution, and annual report on performance.
