ISSUE
Metro has a proven and well-established Commuter Options and Regulatory Compliance Support Program (Program) since April 2005 and a robust customer- and ride-matching database to support a carpool- and vanpool-formation function in the region. Under this program, Metro assists 878 worksite/employer Employee Transportation Coordinators (ETCs) participating on a variety of levels within Los Angeles County. Metro partners with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC), Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to create an inter-county database of 407,977 commuter registrants, which provides a cross-regional ride-matching function for congestion reduction purposes. Metro also works closely with the South Coast AQMD and Los Angeles County ETCs in complying with air quality regulation Rule 2202 as well as working with employers mandated by local city congestion management ordinances.
Metro's current Contract No. PS42183000, Metro Rideshare/Shared Mobility Program Support expires on May 31, 2023. To keep these services intact to support employer ETCs, the South Coast AQMD, Transportation Management Associations/Organizations (TMA/Os), and commuters who have come to depend on these services, staff recommends extending the Program by awarding the contract to the above-mentioned contractor.
