In the area designated as severe\nnon-attainment for ozone, as designated by the administrator of the\nUnited States environmental protection agency, such increase shall be\nnot less than twenty-five percent above the average vehicle occupancy\nstandard for such trips as such standard is established in accordance\nwith the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.

Where parking for a state office\noccurs on properties not controlled by the office of general services,\neach state agency shall be solely responsible for instituting such\nprogram. When instituting such a program, a state agency shall take into\naccount the location of each facility, the availability of mass transit,\nand the scheduling of employees at each work site using such facility.\nSuch program may include designation of parking spaces to be used\nexclusively by multiple occupancy vehicles, provided that the number of\nsuch spaces shall be determined with reference to the ability of users\nof such facilities to engage in ride-sharing, provided, however, that\nthe designation of such spaces shall in no way displace handicapped\nparking spaces established pursuant to section twelve hundred three-c of\nthe vehicle and traffic law. A plan for such program shall be completed\non or before November fifteenth, nineteen hundred ninety-five, and\nimplemented on or before November fifteenth, nineteen hundred\nninety-seven.\n  3.

To the extent\npermitted by the Act, programs instituted under this provision may be\nused to comply with the employee trip reduction provisions of section\n7511a(d)(1)(B) of the Act. Implementation of this section shall be\nconsistent with any agreements which may be made as a result of\ncollective bargaining or other negotiations between the state and its\naffected employee unions.\n
