SUBJECT: REGULATIO XV: APPROVED TRIP REDUCTION PLAN
DEPARTMENT: Public Work
At its November 12, 1991 meeting, City Council directed staff to bring back an
implemented Regulation XV Trip Reduction Plan (TRP). The City's TRP was approved
by the South Coast Air Quality Management District on January 8, 1992, and is designed
to promote improved air quality in the Santa Clarita Valley by encouraging ridesharing.
The City submitted its TRP on November 20, 1991 to the SCAQMD for review and
approval. The plan included the following goals and accomplishments the City will be
embarking upon in the next year:
I. The City and its employees are now members of the Santa Clarita Transit
Management Association (SCVTMA). The SCVTMA will assist employees
in the coordination of car/vanpool formation
2. Staff will fund the City's Regulation XV Incentive Programs through money
received from Assembly Bill 2766, The Clean Air Act, thereby eliminating
dependence upon the General Fund for funding.
3. The City will site a Transportation Information Center to provide rideshare
information to both City employees and residents alike.
4. The City is in receipt of an AQMD radio, mandated by Regulation XV,
which monitors AQMD smog alert broadcasts.

5. The City's recently adopted 9/80 work schedule is the cornerstone to the City's
TRP. This work schedule alone will decrease approximately 53 of the necessary
78 weekly employee vehicle trips to City Hall between the hours of 6:00-10:00
a.m., while in no way decreasing the level of service residents have come to
expect at City Hall.
Additional goals to be achieved by January 8, 1993, as identified within the TRP, are in the
process of being implemented. Some of these programs include: 1) The development of an
employee rideshare handbook; 2) the development of informational brochures and flyers; 3)
The continued coordinated efforts between the - City and sheriffs' department to provide
recovered, stolen bicycles to City employees; 4) designation of car and vanpool preferential
parking at the City Hall site; and 5) Discounted employee monthly bus passes.
Receive and file.
