Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)

What should you do if you receive an emergency message?

1. Contact your Supervisor immediately.
2. You and your supervisor will determine the extent of the emergency and the best option.

• Is it feasible to use the Bus program?
• Is a co-worker or car pool partner willing and available to transport you?
• Is it operationally possible to allow a co-worker or car pool partner to transport?
   
  If the above options are not feasible contact the ETC. (359-7921)
  • The ETC will provide the transportation or arrange for a motor pool vehicle.
  • Or ETC will contact a transportation company to provide the ride without cost to the employee.
• Supervisors make sure the ETC is contacted whenever the Guaranteed Ride Home is requested and that the Guaranteed Ride Report is completed.
• Supervisors make sure the beginning and ends miles are recorded for the GRH report by the transporter for possible reimbursement.
