Dear Shoreline Community College CTR-affected* Employees,

Shoreline Community College requests that each CTR-affected* employee complete an online Commute Trip Reduction survey. This mandatory survey helps our College stay in compliance with the Washington State Commute Trip Reduction law. This survey has just 15 questions and should take less than two minutes to complete. The questions in the survey will focus on how you commute to and from work.

*CTR-affected employee:
• Work 35 hours or more in a week (Monday through Sunday)
• Scheduled to report to a single worksite between 6 and 9 am
• Work on two or more weekdays (Monday through Friday)
• Work in a position intended to last 12 continuous months

Completion of this survey is very important to the College and to the State of Washington. Data collected through the survey is used by the State to plan for transportation improvements. The information will also be used by Shoreline Community College to provide commute benefits based on employee response and feedback.

This year Shoreline Community College employees are completing the survey online. The survey will start on Tuesday, April 16th and close 2 weeks after. We ask that you please complete the survey by no later than 5:00 PM on Tuesday, April 30th. To complete the survey, please follow the instructions at the end of this e-mail. Thank you for your participation.

If you have any questions please contact Mary Lou Ames at x4633 or at mames@shoreline.edu.

To make this more fun, there will be a drawing for prizes at the end of the survey for those individuals who complete this requirement. The prizes offered are: 2 pre-loaded $30 Orca cards, a $25 Amazon gift card, and a $15 Starbucks gift card! Hurry and get those surveys in!

-Mary Lou Ames, Employee Transportation Coordinator & Program Specialist 2 and Edwin Lucero, Director – Safety & Security
