TO: All Personnel

SUBJECT: South Coast Air Quality Management District
Mandatory Ridesharing Survey
As part of JPL’s Trip Reduction Plan, the South Coast Air Quality Management District mandates that JPL complete an annual survey to determine the Laboratory’s Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR). As always, our goal is to have 100% participation in the completion and return of the survey.
The Rideshare Office will provide an online survey found at http://avr.jpl.nasa.gov/. Employees not having easy access to a computer may submit a paper survey obtained by phoning the Rideshare Office at 4-RIDE.
By clicking on the link above, employees are requested to provide information reflecting their mode of transportation to the Laboratory during the week of May 9-13, 2016. Surveys must be submitted before June 24, 2016. Unreturned surveys are detrimental to the Laboratory’s program and can negatively influence the AQMD’s review of our plan, so I urge you to respond if at all possible.
JPL’s Rideshare Program is moving forward with the continued use of promotional transit with Gold Line light rail, METRO and Foothill Transit, Metrolink, carpooling, vanpooling, walking, and bicycle commuting. The effort to reduce solo driving is ongoing. If you would like information on carpools, vanpools, or incentives for using alternate transportation, call the JPL Rideshare Administrator, John Miranda at 4-7433.
Your continuing support of the Rideshare Program is appreciated.
