Further, the 1991 Legislature found that increasing automobile traffic is a major factor in increasing consumption of gasoline. According to the legislature, reducing the number of commute trips to work via single -occupant -vehicles is an effective way of reducing vehicle -related air pollution, traffic congestion and energy use. The Transportation Demand Management Act, Laws of 1991, Ch. 202, requires cities, counties and towns containing "major employers" in the counties (Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, and Yakima) experiencing the greatest vehicle -related air pollution, gasoline consumption and congestion problems to develop plans and programs to reduce single occupant vehicle commute trips.

The commute trip reduction plans are to be developed in cooperation with local transit agencies, regional transportation planning organizations and major employers. They are to be consistent with and can be incorporated in state or regional transportation plan and local comprehensive plans. The trip reduction plans are to be consistent with the requirements of the Transportation Demand Management Act. The time frame of this contract covers the same biennium as the County's contract with WSEO (July 1, 1993 -- June 30, 1995).

ATTACHMENT 1 Commute Trip Reduction Survey Database Information Format In order to generate ClR Survey Reports for employers (and summary survey reports for jurisdictions, zones, and counties) information specific to each organization is required. In most cases the State already has all or most of this information. However, it must be continuously updated as new employers or jurisdictions survey under the U11( program, or when current information changes (e.g., worksite moves to new street address, etc.) New information and revisions must be provided in the structure outlined below. Typically the State will gather new and revised information via hardcopy (paper). The State will provide forms consistent with the required format for the county lead agencies to fill out when adding or revising information in the State's CTR Survey Database. Alternatively, county lead agencies may submit new information (but not revisions) electronically. POGO (software provided by the Washington State Energy Office) meets the required format. County lead agencies also have the option to submit new information as a generic database file (dbf), assuming it conforms to the specifications below.
