Employer-Based Trip Reduction Made Easy
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District adopted the eTRIP Rule on December 17, 2009 to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from private vehicles used by employees commuting to and from work. The trip reduction and administrative requirements of this rule apply to each employer in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin with at least 100 eligible employees.
You can help your employees reduce VMT quickly and easily with CalVans.
