Rule R307-320 - Ozone Maintenance Areas and Ogden City: Employer-Based Trip Reduction Program
Section R307-320-1 - Purpose

The purpose of this program is to reduce the number of measurable vehicle miles driven by employees commuting to and from work by requiring employers with work sites within ozone maintenance areas to implement strategies designed to reduce the employee drive-alone rate. An employer-based trip reduction program is authorized under 19-2- 104(1)(h) and (2). It is a state implementation plan control strategy to reduce ambient ozone and is a potential contingency measure for carbon monoxide. An added benefit of the program is reducing the number of cars on increasingly congested roadways.
