2 . The following will be used in measuring VMTs :
a . Single - occupant vehicle trips count as one
trip ;
b . Carpool trips count as the inverse of the
number of occupants in the vehicle ;
i . Two -person carpool counts as 1/2 trip ,
ii . Three -person carpool counts as 1 / 3 trip ,
111 . Four-person carpool counts as 1 /4 trip ,

D . Credit for Programs Implemented Prior to the Base Year
(Inherent Credit) . Employers with CTR programs in place
at the time of the initial employer survey may receive an
inherent credit . " Inherent credit " means that an employer
will not be required to reduce their VMT and SOV levels
by the entire applicable percentage reduction targets ,
because they may have already implemented CTR
programs prior to the base year of 1992 . Affected
employers will be inherently credited for their prior CTR
achievements insofar as meeting the required VMT and
SOV goals for an applicable target year . Affected
employers shall be responsible for submitting adequate
documentation to the City which demonstrates to the
satisfaction of the City the amount of the inherent credit .
This inherent credit will be applied to the employer ' s SOV
and VMT goals for the target year under consideration .
Even in cases where an inherent credit is received for prior
TDM efforts , an affected employer shall not be exempt
from submitting a CTR program .
E . Modification of CTR Goals .
1 . An affected employer may request that the City
modify its CTR program goals . Such request shall
be filed in writing at least sixty days prior to the
date the work site is required to submit its program
description and annual report . The goal
modification request must clearly explain why the
work site is unable to achieve the applicable goal .
The work site must also demonstrate that it has
implemented all of the elements contained in its
approved CTR program .
2 . The City will review and grant or deny requests for
goal modifications in accordance with procedures
and criteria identified in the CTR task force
guidelines .
3 . An employer may not request a modification of the
applicable goals until one year after City approval
of its initial program description and annual report .
