To comply with ECO, employers must:
(1) Conduct a baseline survey of employees to
establish a baseline auto trip rate (or provide documentation of the current
auto trip rate that is at least as accurate as a survey would
provide);
(2) Calculate a target
auto trip rate by reducing the baseline auto trip rate by 10 percent;
(3) Submit a registration form as supplied by
the Department;
(4) Design and
implement a trip reduction strategy that has the potential to achieve the
target auto trip rate by the target compliance deadline and the potential to
maintain the target auto trip rate;
(5) Either:
(a) Prepare and implement an auto trip
reduction plan for each work site and submit the plan to the Department for
approval; or
NOTE: Enforcement will be based upon implementing
the approved plan, see OAR
340-242-0110.
(b) Provide written notice to the
Department of participation in an equivalent commute trip reduction program.
NOTE: Enforcement will be based on good faith
effort, see OAR
340-242-0180
and special requirements in OAR
340-242-0110.
(6) Survey employees
every two years, report survey findings to the Department; and
(7) Continue to implement strategies to
achieve or maintain the target auto trip rate.
NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon
Clean Air Act Implementation Plan as adopted by the Environmental Quality
Commission under OAR
340-200-0040.
