BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Per the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Rule 2202, worksites with 250 or more employees must implement an Employee Commute Reduction Program (ECRP), also known as a rideshare program. The purpose of Rule 2202 is to provide employers with a menu of options to reduce emissions generated from employee commutes and to comply with federal and state Clean Air Act requirements. Transportation Department is responsible for creating, implementing, monitoring and reporting on the Culver City efforts. This program is designed to meet ambient air quality standards mandated by the Federal Clean Air Act. As an indirect mobile source emission control strategy, it is intended to reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase the average vehicle ridership (AVR) of work-related trips at subject worksites.
In FY 2022, Transportation Department conducted analyses of City’s existing rideshare program, researched the best practices, and re-designed the program to include creative and robust strategies to manage City employees’ transportation demands and reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips. The goal is to: 1). Significantly increase City staff’s use of alternative mobility choices; and 2). Create a model program that can be showcased in City’s future TDM Program.
On April 1, 2022, the new Rideshare pilot program was re-introduced to all City employees, with the goal to monitor and evaluate the pilot performance in FY2023 and recommend a permanent program in FY2024.
