A BILL
To amend the Clean Air Act to provide for an optional
provision for the reduction of work-related vehicle trips
and miles travelled in ozone nonattainment areas des-
ignated as severe, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. OPTIONAL EMPLOYER MANDATED TRIP RE-
DUCTION.
Section 182(d)(1)(b) of the Clean Air Act is amended
by to read as follows:
‘‘(B) The State may also, in its discretion, sub-
mit a revision at any time requiring employers in
such area to implement programs to reduce work-re-
lated vehicle trips and miles travelled by employees.
Such revision shall be developed in accordance with
guidance issued by the Administrator pursuant to
section 108(f) and may require that employers in
such area increase average passenger occupancy per
vehicle in commuting trips between home and the
workplace during peak travel periods. The guidance
of the Administrator may specify average vehicle oc-
cupancy rates which vary for locations within a non-
attainment area (suburban, center city, business dis-
trict) or among nonattainment areas reflecting exist-
ing occupancy rates and the availability of high oc-
cupancy modes. The revision may require employers
subject to a vehicle occupancy requirement to submit
a compliance plan to demonstrate compliance with
the requirements of this paragraph.’’.
SECTION 1. OPTIONAL EMPLOYER MANDATED TRIP REDUC-
TION.
Section 182(d)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act is amended
to read as follows:
‘‘(B) The State may also, in its discretion, sub-
mit a revision at any time requiring employers in
such area to implement programs to reduce work-re-
lated vehicle trips and miles travelled by employees.
Such revision shall be developed in accordance with
guidance issued by the Administrator pursuant to sec-
tion 108(f) and may require that employers in such
area increase average passenger occupancy per vehicle
in commuting trips between home and the workplace
during peak travel periods. The guidance of the Ad-
ministrator may specify average vehicle occupancy
rates which vary for locations within a nonattain-
ment area (suburban, center city, business district) or
among nonattainment areas reflecting existing occu-
pancy rates and the availability of high occupancy
modes. Any State required to submit a revision under
this subparagraph (as in effect before the date of en-
actment of this sentence) containing provisions re-
quiring employers to reduce work-related vehicle trips
and miles travelled by employees may, in accordance
with State law, remove such provisions from the im-
plementation plan, or withdraw its submission, if the
State notifies the Administrator, in writing, that the
State has undertaken, or will undertake, one or more
alternative methods that will achieve emission reduc-
tions equivalent to those to be achieved by the removed
or withdrawn provisions.’’.
