Hughes CPA, JD, CPPO Date Interim ADEQ Chief Procurement Officer TRAVEL REDUCTION PROGRAM Maricopa County Air Quality Department Scope of Work for Air Quality Grant Funding Fiscal Year 2022 APRIL 2021 THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK I. BACKGROUND In April 1985, the Center for Law and Public Interest filed suit against the State of Arizona and Maricopa County for failure to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for carbon monoxide. The federal court ordered the State of Arizona to write a State Implementation Plan (SIP) to comply with the standards. In response, the Arizona Legislature passed the 1988 Air Quality Bill (Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §49-581 et seq.) which mandated a Travel Reduction Program (TRP) for employers and schools in Maricopa County. The Maricopa County TRP is included in regional carbon monoxide plans and included as committed transportation control measures in several ozone and PM10 particulate plans. The objectives of the TRP and the Clean Air Campaign are aligned, as both are rooted in legislation intended to reduce vehicle miles traveled in Maricopa County, especially travel by single occupancy vehicles. The Clean Air Campaign continues as a year-round public relations and education effort supporting employers in encouraging commuters to use alternative modes of transportation and educating the general public. While the campaign continues to place emphasis on the winter carbon monoxide season, as required by statute, ozone and particulate issues are also being addressed through the summer Commit to One Day ozone campaign. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department TRP staff administers all aspects of the TRP including conducting all research, planning, coordinating, regulatory, and compliance assurance aspects of the TRP. Employer training, technical assistance, and program promotion are carried out through a contract with Valley Metro/Commute Solutions under direction of county TRP staff. II. GOALS and OBJECTIVES Continue implementation of the TRP pursuant to ARS Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 8 (§49-581 through §49-593), the Regional Voluntary No-Drive Day Campaign pursuant to ARS Title 49, Chapter 3, Article 3 (§49-506), and the Maricopa County Ordinance Air Pollution Control Regulations P-7 Travel Reduction Program. The primary goals of the program are: • Increase by two percent the “tons of pollution saved” for those commuters using an alternative mode of travel to get to their workplace from the level achieved in FY 2021. • Increase by two percent the number of alternative vehicle miles traveled by TRP participants from the level achieved in FY 2021. • Comply with all tasks and items listed in the Special Terms and Conditions of the Grant Agreement. III. TASKS and ACTIVITIES Task 1: Maricopa County Air Quality Department - TRP • Administer the TRP to major employers within Maricopa County Area A who have 50 or more employees. Pursuant to ARS §49-581(11), a major employer within area A has fifty employees working at or reporting to a single work site during any twenty-four hour period for at least three days per week at least six months of the year. • Issue internet/intranet/paper surveys to participating TRP employers. 1 of 6 • Process and analyze TRP surveys for participating employers. • Research, identify and incorporate new major employers that are legally required to participate in the TRP. • Provide summary analyses to employers participating in the TRP regarding their employee commuting habits based on the employee survey results. With this information, employers formulate plans that will reduce single occupancy vehicle trips and/or miles. • Assist employers in the development of approvable TRP annual plans. • Submit completed annual plans to the Maricopa County Travel Reduction Program Regional Task Force for approval. • Review and monitor employer TRP annual plans. • Administer the county’s year round Clean Air Campaign to encourage weekly use of travel reduction solutions. Implement marketing and advertising that creates awareness and encourages the increased use of alternative modes and work schedules in coordination with the TRP. • Negotiate a sub award agreement with Valley Metro/Commute Solutions to assist Maricopa County in providing TRP training, program promotions, plan implementation assistance, and promotion of alternative transportation modes and strategies. Task 2: Subcontractor – TRP Training and Assistance • Promote the use of alternative modes by developing promotional kits for employers and associated collateral pieces under direction of the county up to four times per year. • Provide technical assistance to TRP employers in achieving the prescribed reductions in single occupancy vehicle trips or single occupancy vehicle miles traveled through one- on-one assistance, webinars, e-newsletters, and in-person training. • Provide on-line training to TRP transportation coordinators on the requirements of the law including the survey process, plans and associated documentation, types of alternative modes, and travel reduction strategies. Revise training as necessary to address program changes. Create and develop tutorial videos to reinforce training components and program updates. • Assist employers in achieving at least the minimum response rate for the TRP annual survey. • Assist employers in implementation of approved TRP annual plans, including attending employer events, lunch and learns, reviewing any promotional materials to ensure content provides enough guidance to employees, courtesy visits to answer questions, and providing best practices. • Assist the county to encourage weekly use of travel reduction strategies through integrated campaigns which may include print materials, public and media relations campaigns, and events. • Establish Transportation Management Associations (TMA) in Maricopa County to customize assistance for employers and offer increased collaborative opportunities at no expense to members. 2 of 6 IV. DELIVERABLES Maricopa County will submit to ADEQ monthly and annual reports describing activities for which ADEQ funding has been received. Maricopa County will also provide ADEQ a digital copy of the refined data set on a fiscal year (FY) basis. • Monthly reports, to be filed with ADEQ with monthly invoices shall be submitted within 30 days following the last day of the prior month, will include the following: A recap of annual survey distribution, survey response rates, survey analysis reports generated, reduction of vehicle miles traveled, percentage of employer survey respondents who reported teleworking, and travel reduction plans received/approved A summary of enforcement activities A narrative on any general program activities A separate report from subcontractor Valley Metro/Commute Solutions addressing employer contacts and employer assistance efforts Annual reports, to be filed with ADEQ within 105 days following the last day of the FY, will include the following: A table to display the total emission reductions in tons for the current FY and the past four years for the following pollutants: CO, VOC, PM10, NOx, and total pollution reduction. A spreadsheet displaying this information will also be provided. A table to display the annual TRP SOVMT, SOV and AMU Rates by Trips including SOVMT%, SOV%, Carpool %, Bus %, Bike %, Walk %, Telework %, Other %, and Total AMU%. A spreadsheet displaying this information will also be provided. A summary of program participation levels for employer count, survey site count, and employee/student count information. A summary evaluation of pollution/emissions prevented associated with program operations as estimated using the regional miles per pound of pollution factor supplied annually by the Maricopa Association of Governments. Measure 1: Increase by two percent the "tons of pollution saved" for those commuters using an alternative mode of travel to get to their workplace from the level achieved in FY 2021. A summary of changes in SOV/SOVMT rates, employee/student survey response rates, and alternative mode participation rates for the program in total. Measure 2: Increase by two percent the number of alternative vehicle miles traveled by program participants from the level achieved in FY 2021. A summary of enforcement activities and compliance assistance efforts for the reporting period, including action taken regarding survey response and other program elements. Maricopa County will continue to coordinate with ADEQ and other ADEQ-funded travel reduction programs to identify and refine metrics and methodologies that allow for consistent reporting and data sharing across programs, and for assessment of program elements in terms of their effectiveness in increasing alternative mode usage. This information will be used in gauging program efficacy and in assisting employers that participate in the program. 3 of 6 By March 30, 2022, Maricopa County will submit to ADEQ an overview of the vision and planning for the FY 2023 program, including highlights of proposed initiatives, operational changes, as well as recommendations to increase TRP compliance results.
