Bill > HB2307

This bill modifies definitions related to commute trip reduction programs, which aim to decrease the number of single-occupancy vehicle trips during peak commuting hours. Specifically, it changes the definition of a "major employer" and "major employment installation" to include employers with 100 or more full-time employees who work for at least 12 continuous months during the year, removing the previous requirement that their workday must begin between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. It also updates the definition of an "affected urban growth area" to include areas with a state highway segment exceeding 100 person hours of delay, and jurisdictions with over 70,000 people that adopted a commute trip reduction ordinance before the year 2000. The bill also clarifies that a "base year" for setting commute trip reduction goals is a 12-month period, and a "commute trip" refers to trips made from home to a worksite on weekdays, without specifying a particular time frame.
