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.

• 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

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.

miles traveled by program participants from the level achieved in FY
2021.
 A summary of enforcement activities and compliance assistance efforts for the

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.
