Employer-based Trip Reduction Program (ETRP) Resources

In 2020, the RAQC and its stakeholders began a process to study and explore the appropriateness of an ETRP policy for employers in the RAQC’s nine-county service area. A recent outcome is the development of concept language and a framework for a policy. These elements help guide the RAQC’s continued evaluation of the many important factors an ETRP policy must consider. The concept language and framework were also shared with the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) which is utilizing them as the starting point for development of an ETRP* rule that may be implemented statewide. You can find more information in the APCD’s Fact Sheet on ETRP Concepts and on the APCD Webpage.
