WHY CARPOOL & BICYCLE FOCUS?

CONGESTION Congestion primarily impacts the southbound commuter to Oregon Congestion not a factor for the CTR affected worksites

PARKING 2 Worksites: Employees pay up to $60/month for parking 2 Worksites: Charge Nominal Amount 53 Worksites Have Abundant Free Parking

TRANSIT 3 (<1%)Worksites Located Downtown with several route options 11(18%) Worksites Located near routes with 15 minute headways 44 (73%)Worksites Located near routes with 30 -60 minute headways 2 Worksites No Transit

Transit Most commuters at the CTR worksites would require at least one transfer to use transit to work With the average VMT of 11 miles a commuter that needs at least one transfer indicates the bus ride can add up to 60 minutes or more to their commute which is prohibitive to using transit
