**1045.3 POLICY**

A.  **BPA's Transportation Program adheres to Federal Executive Order
    (EO) 13150**, *Federal Workforce Transportation* and to state and
    municipal transit and parking regulations for safety and reasonable
    accommodation requirements. BPA sets all program standards in
    compliance with negotiated union agreements. Parking allocations and
    transit incentives are considered employee benefit privileges.

B.  **State and Federal Departments of Transportation adhere to Federal
    Executive Order 13274**, *Environmental Stewardship and
    Transportation Infrastructure,* by implementing programs and
    initiatives that advance these objectives. BPA partners with local
    governments and business constituents to maximize public
    transportation benefits for its employees.

C.  **Available parking at BPA worksites** **and facilities** is site
    specific. Available space may also be subject to lease agreements
    with the commercial facility landlords. In conjunction with
    bargaining unit agreement, BPA may assess a fee to offset parking
    program costs at the various locations.

> BPA provides parking for Disabled Employees, in accordance with
> Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), state guidelines. For site
> specific details please refer to the BPA *Transportation Program.*

D.  **BPA applies a monetary contribution and subsidizes** the cost of
    public transportation for its Federal employees. This benefit is
    provided to encourage use of public transit in response to Federal
    and state objectives that improve air quality and minimize energy
    use and traffic congestion. Public transit services vary by
    location. For complete details about BPA transit subsidies and other
    site-specific incentives, please refer to *BPA's Transportation
    Program Guide*, located on the Employee and Business Resources,
    (EBR) Workplace Services website.

    establish BPA's Transportation Program policies for consistency with
    Labor Relation's union agreements.

B.  **Workplace Services Office Facilities** implements BPA's
    Transportation Program and manages its operation. Office Facilities
    provides funding, evaluates transit incentives, and manages
    site-specific parking allocations.

C.  **Office Facilities Commercial Facility Managers** coordinate BPA's
    Transportation Program at commercial field sites, in alignment with
    lease agreements, and in collaboration with local municipal
    authorities. Site-specific benefits and parking allocations are
    implemented through the field facility managers.

**D. Employees** participate in BPA's transportation programs
voluntarily. Compliance with the terms and conditions of each program is
required. Failure to comply may result in the employee\'s forfeiture of
privileges to participate in any and all parking, ride share, or public
