Goals and Requirements

Newly Affected Employers

"Newly affected" employers are required to perform the same actions as employers originally affected by the law, but simply on a different schedule.  These actions include:

  • Self-identification to local jurisdiction- An employer that meets the definition of an affected employer, or in other words, it has 100 or more full-time employees arriving at a single worksite between 6 and 9 a.m. on at least two weekdays each week, must identify itself to the local jurisdiction within 180 days.  Employers that fail to do so within 180 days are in violation of the law and the local ordinance.
  • Develop and submit trip reduction program- Once the employer has been identified as affected under the CTR law, the employer has up to 150 days (varies by jurisdiction) to develop and submit a CTR program to the local jurisdiction for review and approval.  The jurisdiction will establish an annual program due date for the employer.
  • Implement trip reduction program- Once the local jurisdiction has approved an employer trip reduction program, the employers has 180 days to fully implement the program as approved.  This includes the identification of an Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC).
  • Measure success of trip reduction program- From the date of becoming affected by the CTR law, newly affected employers are given:
    • Two years to meet the first CTR goal of 15 percent
    • Four years to meet the second CTR goal of 20 percent
    • Six years to meet the third CTR goal of 25 percent
    • Twelve years to meet the fourth CTR goal of 35 percent
