The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) Travel Reduction Program (TRP) promotes the reduction of single occupancy vehicle (SOV) driving and miles traveled commuting to and from work sites. TRP assists Maricopa County businesses and schools in creating travel reduction options that reduce vehicle emissions responsible for creating ground-level ozone and pollution causing illnesses. Participating employers and schools are required to offer incentives to their staff and students to take alternative modes and survey their employees to test the effectiveness of their travel reduction plan. To assist employers in maximizing their plans and increasing survey responses, TRP developed an Increased Survey Response Process. The new process encourages actions that go beyond compliance with applicable laws and regulations and provides flexibility for the regulated community.
