The purpose of this chapter is to promote the development of trip reduction ordinance programs at employer work sites with one hundred or more employees during the afternoon peak traffic period, four p.m. to six p.m., in order to reduce traffic impacts within the city.

The passage of Senate Bill 437 in February 1996, prohibits any public agency from requiring employers to implement an employee trip reduction program unless required by the federal government. Participation in this program is voluntary. (Ord. 2015 NCS §1, 1996; Ord. 1886 NCS §1 (part), 1992.)
