Employee Trip Reduction
(ETRP)
Programme
ETRP - Project Overview
TDM Measure undertaken by City
Partnerships between City, Province & 5 other large
employers in CBD in order to:
to increase use of more sustainable travel
options
to reduce vehicle trips
to reduce vehicle emissions
to facilitate information flow & system changes
needed to address barriers to public transport
usage & reluctance to reduce private vehicle use
Scope of Work - ETRP Project
Develop framework for ETRP
Develop organisation-specific programmes for each
organisation
Roll-out programmes in each organisation
Develop and implement a marketing plan for each
organisation
Monitoring & reporting
Baseline Survey – ETRP Project
All 7 participating organisations undertook baseline surveys
Purpose : determine baseline travel patterns of employees;
preferences & barriers to use of alternative modes
Average sample size: 20 %
Average one-way commute distance ranges from 21 – 26 km
Survey results reflect anticipated results (high private usage;
barriers to change etc)

Types of survey questions
Daily commute
Time leaving home
Distance between work and home
Mode of travel
Work environment
Job Type/Function
Work Schedule
Current parking arrangement
Other preferences, barriers to change
Likely SOV trip reduction options
Respondents indicated that the following measures :
Work-from-Home programmes
Flexi-Time
Bus Transport availability
Company shuttles
Carpool options/information
Possible impact :
Single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) commuter travel will most
likely decrease.
What will encourage SOV commuters to
consider public transport
Most likely motivation
Safer and more reliable public transport
2nd most likely motivation
More frequent public transport service
3rd most likely motivation
Public transport closer to home
Observations to Date – ETRP Project
Baseline survey information:
Enables employers to have better understanding of
travel patterns of employees within CBD
Enables the success of trip reduction measures to be
measured against baseline
Will inform future transport planning for the City
