Failure to do so can result in any penalties allowable under the provisions of this chapter. Section 8. 9.44.080, CTR Program requirements and reporting. A Program required. Employers are required to make a good faith effort as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this ordinance to develop and implement a CTR program that will encourage its employees to reduce VMT per employee and SOV commute trips. The CTR program must include the mandatory elements described below, including submittal of a CTR program description and annual progress report. B. Mandatory program elements. CTR programs submitted by affected employers shall, at a minimum, include the following mandatory elements: 1. Transportation Coordinator. The employer shall designate a transportation coordinator to administer the CTR program. The coordinator's and /or designee's name, location, and telephone number must be displayed prominently at each affected worksite. The coordinator shall oversee all elements of the employer's CTR program and act as liaison between the employer and the City. An affected employer with multiple sites may have one transportation coordinator for all sites. 2. Information Distribution. Information about alternatives to SOV commuting shall be provided to employees at least once a year. This shall consist of, at a minimum, a summary of the employer's program, including the transportation coordinator's name and phone number. Employers shall also provide a summary of their program to all new employees at the time of hire. 3. Annual Progress Report. The CTR program shall include the annual review of employee commute modes and of progress toward meeting the goals for the reduction in SOV rate and VMT per employee. Such report shall be submitted for review in a format provided by the City.

For worksites which have been participating in the CTR program since the beginning, this requirement applies to the 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005 annual reports. 4. Additional Program Elements. In addition to the specific program elements described above, the employer's CTR program shall include a set of measures designed to meet CTR goals, as described in the CTR law (RCW 70.94.531). C. CTR program submittal. Within six months of the adoption of the ordinance codified herein or within 150 days in the case of those employers whose status becomes that of an affected employer in any period following the first six months after said ordinance is adopted, the employer shall develop a CTR program and shall submit a description of such program to the City for review. The program description shall include the following: 1. Site location, transportation characteristics, and surrounding services, including unique conditions experienced by the employer or its employees; 2. Number of employees affected by the CTR program; 3. Written narrative describing the mandatory program elements; 4.

All records shall be made available to the City upon reasonable request for the purposes of reviewing program progress and /or compiling summary reports and analyses. Section 9. 9.44.090, Program review, approval and implementation. A. Program review and approval. Upon receipt of a program submitted by an affected employer, the City or its designee shall review the program elements and reporting formats within a reasonable time period, and either approve or disapprove the program, provided that the initial program submitted by an employer following adoption of the ordinance codified herein shall be reviewed within 90 days of receipt by the City. Upon making a determination of the acceptability of the program, the employer will be notified in writing as to such determination. Program approvals shall be based on the following guidelines and criteria: 1. If an employer makes a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this ordinance, and meets either or both the applicable SOV or VMT goal, the employer has satisfied the objectives of the CTR plan and will not be required to modify its CTR program. 2. If an employer makes a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this ordinance, but has not met or is not likely to meet the applicable SOV or VMT goal, the City shall work collaboratively with the employer to make modifications to its CTR program. After agreeing on modifications, the employer shall submit a revised CTR program description to the City for approval within 30 days of reaching an agreement. 3. If an employer fails to make a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this ordinance, and fails to meet either applicable SOV or VMT reduction goal, the City shall work collaboratively with the employer to identify modifications to the CTR program and shall direct the employer to revise its program within 30 days to incorporate the modifications. In response to the recommended modifications, the employer shall submit a revised CTR program description, including the requested modifications or equivalent measures, within 30 days of receiving written notice to revise its program. The City shall review the revisions and notify the employer of acceptance or rejection of the revised program. If the revised program is not accepted, the City will send written notice to that effect to the employer within 30 days and if, necessary, require the employer to attend a conference with program review staff for the purpose of reaching consensus on the required program. The City within 10 working days of the conference will issue a final decision on the required program in writing. B. Employer program implementation. The employer shall implement the approved CTR program not more than 180 days after the program was first submitted to the City unless extensions allow for delayed implementation. Implementation of programs that have been modified based on non attainment of CTR goals must occur within 30 days following City approval of such modifications. Section 10. 9.44.100, Modification of CTR requirements and program elements. A. Exemptions. An affected employer may submit a request to the City to grant a waiver from CTR program requirements for a particular worksite. A waiver may be granted only if the affected employer demonstrates it would experience undue hardship in complying with the requirements of the ordinance as a result of the characteristics of its business, its work force, or its location(s). An exemption may be granted if and only if the affected employer demonstrates that it faces extraordinary circumstances, such as bankruptcy and is unable to implement measures that could reduce the proportion of SOV trips and VMT per employee. Requests for waivers to the initial program submittal are due within three months from the time the employer is notified or has identified themselves as subject to the provisions of this chapter. Requests following the initial submittal process can be made at any time. Requests must be made in writing by certified mail or delivery, return receipt. The City shall review annually all employers receiving waivers, and shall determine whether the waiver will continue to be in effect during the following program year. B. Goal modification. 1. An affected employer may request a modification of program goals. Such requests shall be filed in writing at least 60 days prior to the date the worksite is required to submit its program description and annual report. The goal modification request must clearly explain why the worksite is unable to achieve the applicable goal. The worksite must also demonstrate that it has implemented all of the elements contained in its approved CTR program. The city will review and grant or deny requests for goal modifications in accordance with procedures and criteria identified in the CTR Task Force Guidelines. An CTR CHGS.DOC 3/11/99 6 employer may not request a modification of the applicable goals until one year after the city approves its initial program description or annual report. to 2. Grounds for granting such modifications shall be limited to the following: a. An affected employer can demonstrate it requires significant numbers of its employees (1) Use their commute vehicles for work purposes and that no reasonable alternative commute mode exists for these employees and that the vehicles cannot reasonably be used for carpools or vanpools. These employees may be exempted from the worksite's CTR program. (2) Work variable shifts during the year such that these employees sometimes begin their shifts within the 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM time period and other times begin their shifts outside that time period. (Exception: If there are a significant number of employees who work an identical shift rotation, those employees would be expected to be part of the employer's CTR program measurement, as they form enough of a consistent pool to maintain rideshare arrangements.) b. An affected employer demonstrates that its worksite is contiguous with a CTR zone boundary and that the worksite conditions affecting alternative commute options are similar to those for employers in the adjoining CTR zone. Under this condition, the employer's worksite may be made subject to the same goals for VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips as employers in the adjoining CTR zone. c. Unanticipated conditions, such as unavailability of alternative commute modes due to factors related to the worksite, an employer's work force, or characteristics of the business, that are beyond the employer's control. A request for goal modification based on this condition must be made by the employer's annual assigned reporting date. d. Relocation of a worksite to another CTR zone. Requests for goal modification based on this condition may be made at any time. C. Modification of CTR program elements. If an employer wants to change a particular aspect of its CTR program during the period of time between annual reporting dates, they must contact the City in writing. D. Extensions. An employer may request additional time to submit a CTR program or CTR annual progress report, or to implement or modify a program. Such requests shall be made in writing before the due date for the submissions for which the extension is being requested. Requests for extensions must be made prior to the due date anytime a program submittal is going to be more than one week late. Extensions not to exceed 90 days shall be considered for reasonable causes. Employers will be limited to a total of 90 extension days per year. Extensions shall not exempt an employer from any responsibility in meeting program goals. Extensions granted due to delays or difficulties with any program element(s) shall not be cause for discontinuing or failing to implement other program elements. An employer's annual reporting date shall not be adjusted permanently as a result of these extensions. An employer's annual reporting date may be extended at the discretion of the City. Section 11. 9.44.110, Credit for prior employer programs. A. Credit for programs implemented prior to the base year. Employers with successful Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs implemented prior to the 1992 base year may apply to the City for program credit under the following guidelines: 1. Employers whose VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips are already equal to or less than the goals for one or more future goal years, and who commit in writing to continue their current level of effort, shall be exempt from the following year's annual report. 2. Employers applying for the program credit in their initial 1993 program description shall be considered to have met the 1995 CTR goals if their VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips are equivalent to a 12% or greater reduction from the base year zone values. This three- percentage point credit applies only to the 1995 CTR goals. 3. For the initial year, employer requests for program credit are due within three months after notification that the employer is subject to the provisions of this chapter. Requests for program credit must be received by the employer's assigned reporting dates in 1995 and 1997 for succeeding years. CTR CHGS.DOC 3/11 /99 7 4. Application for a program credit shall include an initial program description, written commitment on an official report form to maintain program elements, and results from a 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 and rules established for implementation of this chapter. B. Credit for alternative work schedules, telecommuting, bicycling and walking, by affected employees. 1. The City will count commute trips eliminated through alternative work schedules, telecommuting options, bicycling and walking as 1.2 vehicle trips eliminated. This assumption applies to both the proportion of SOV trips and VMT per employee. 2. This type of credit is applied when calculating the SOV and VMT rates of affected employers. Section 12. 9.44.120, Employer peer review group. A. Purpose and appointment of members. The City may appoint member(s) from affected employers to regional or subregional employer peer review groups created through interlocal agreement with other jurisdictions. The specific functions of the peer review group shall be determined by the interlocal agreement. B. Limitations of peer review group. Any peer review group shall be advisory in nature. Any comments or recommendations of such peer review group shall not bind the City. Section 13. 9.44.130, Enforcement. A. Compliance. For the purpose of this chapter, compliance shall mean submitting all required reports and documentation at the prescribed times and fully implementing all provisions in an approved CTR program. B. Violations. The following actions shall constitute a violation of this chapter: 1. Failure to make a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(4) and this ordinance. 2. Failure to implement an approved CTR program, unless the program elements that are carried out can be shown through quantifiable evidence to meet or exceed VMT and SOV goals as specified in this chapter. Failure to implement a CTR program includes, but is not limited to: a. Failure to submit a complete CTR program within the deadlines specified; b. Failure to submit required documentation for annual reports; and /or c. Submittal of fraudulent data. 3. Failure to modify a CTR program found to be unacceptable by the City following program review. C. Penalties. 1. Any violation of any provision, or failure to comply with any of the requirements of this chapter, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Chapter 8.45. 2. No affected employer with an approved CTR program may be held liable for failure to reach the applicable SOV or VMT goals. Section 14. 9.44.140, Appeals. A. An affected employer may appeal final administrative decisions made by the City in the implementation and application of the provisions of this chapter for such employer. Such appeals must be filed with the City Clerk's Office within 20 days of receipt of the decision for which the appeal is being submitted. Appeals may be made for the following actions: 1. Rejection of an employer's proposed program. CTR-CHGS.DOC 3/11/99 8 2. Denial of an employer's request for a waiver or modification of any of the requirements under the provisions of this chapter or a modification of the employer's program. 3. Denial of credits requested under TMC 9.44.110. B. The City's Hearing Examiner shall hear timely appeals. Determinations made in the review of such appeals shall be based on consistency with State statutes (RCW 70.94.521 -551). Section 15. Repealer. Ordinance Nos. 1660, 1796 §3 (part), and 1838 §7, as codified at TMC 9.44, are hereby repealed. Section 16. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance or its application to any other person or situation.
