Travel Reduction Program congratulates
major employers for reducing traffic volumes
Pima Association of Governments recognizes employers in its Travel Reduction Program (TRP) for documenting outstanding employee usage of alternate modes or special programs to reduce drive-alone trips to the worksite.

Employers in the TRP are required by local ordinances to reduce traffic to the worksite by educating and encouraging employees with incentives to leave their car at home – at least one day a week. The TRP is managed by Pima Association of Governments and assists employers in developing a Travel Reduction Plan and surveying their employees to measure their accomplishments. 

The TRP survey conducted in 2007 involved 285 worksites with over 121,000 employees and documented that 29 percent of the employees used an alternate mode (carpool, vanpool, bus, bicycle, walk) or special programs (compressed work weeks, telework, field work or clean fuel vehicle) to improve traffic congestion and maintain air quality. 

In one year, employees saved 98.7 million driving miles, 8.89 million gallons of gasoline, $31.4 million and prevented over 10.26 million pounds of pollution for the community.
