What is Commute Trip Reduction?

It’s a state law and program that focuses on reducing congestion and improving air quality. Employers in these counties participate if they have 100 or more FT employees who begin work from 6am-9 am. The CTR survey helps employers understand the commute patterns of their employees so they can help improve employee commutes.

I telework, do I still have to take the survey?

Yes, even though you may telework, your views and comments still help support the workplace and the purpose of this survey.

Are my responses anonymous?

Yes. No personally identifiable information is collected. The summarized worksite data may be shared with your employer, jurisdiction, and state government.

The CTR law requires WSDOT to report on CTR program performance every two years. The survey helps us understand and report reductions in air pollution and energy use, and monitor the effectiveness of CTR programs implemented at various worksites. View the CTR Survey Explanation website  for more information.

Thank you for participating in the 2024 Shoreline CTR Survey!

As the year winds down, we would like to invite you to celebrate by sharing your holiday greetings with the campus.  These greetings will then be edited together into a fun video to share with our campus community.  We would love to see a wide range of departments and individuals representing all areas of campus.

Media producer, Rob Berg will be set up in two locations on campus next week to record individuals or groups who wish to share a short greeting for the whole campus.

• Tuesday 12/10/24 from 11:30am-1:30pm in the Art Gallery of the Admin Building
• Wednesday 12/11/24 from 1:30pm-3:30pm in FOSS (on the 1st floor)

Wear festive clothes, bring your smiles and messages of hope, peace, and love with your fellow staff members.  We encourage different languages and would love to honor a variety of holidays. Let’s come together and have a little fun.

If you have questions, contact Rob at rberg@shoreline.edu. We’ll edit all the messages together to share next week before we all take a well-deserved break.  See you there!

Remote workers can submit their holiday messages from their home computer.  Record in Zoom or via your phone, then email Rob.  However, if you use your phone, we kindly ask that you record your message horizontally and not vertically. Deadline for home submission is EOD Friday 12/13.

We’ll edit all the messages together to share the following week before we all take a well-deserved break.  

Hope to see you there!

Cat & Rob

Greetings,

It’s time for the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Survey!

The state is gathering new baseline data that will help develop programs for commuting, so it is important to complete this survey.  We are aiming for 100% participation. All information is good information. Even if you telecommute most days, we need to gather that data.

Please let your supervisor know if you need any accommodations to take the survey.

The survey takes about 5 – 10  minutes to complete.   See below for how to enter your name for some fun prizes!

What is Commute Trip Reduction?

It’s a state law and program that focuses on reducing congestion and improving air quality. The CTR law affects Washington’s nine most populous counties: Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, Whatcom, and Yakima. Employers in these counties participate if they have 100 or more full-time employees who begin work between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. These employers are required to have CTR programs that provide their employees with the tools, knowledge, and resources to explore their commute options. The CTR survey helps employers understand the commute patterns of their employees so they can help improve employee commutes. The survey also helps cities, counties, transit agencies, and the state understand and improve commutes.

I telework, do I still have to take the survey?

Yes, even though you may telework, your views and comments still help support the workplace and the purpose of this survey.

Are my responses anonymous?

Yes. No personally identifiable information is collected. The summarized worksite data may be shared with your employer, jurisdiction, and state government.

The CTR law requires WSDOT to report on CTR program performance every two years. The survey helps us understand and report reductions in air pollution and energy use, and monitor the effectiveness of CTR programs implemented at various worksites.

Thank you for participating in the 2024 Shoreline CTR Survey!

Good afternoon all– 

Im not crazy about the phrase, but my guess is that “bomb cyclone” wasn’t on your bingo card.  Wasn’t on mine, but surprise!  

What I am NOT surprised about is how well our staff and faculty handled the situation.  The executive Team wanted to send a brief thank you to campus representatives for all your hard work and coordination and my apologies if I miss anyone!  First- Thank you to the ET members for late night and early morning planning meeting(s).  Second– Our faculty and classified union colleagues for collaboration as we navigated this together.  

To instruction, we want to express gratitude to all the faculty who provided real-time support to the students, and the deans who supported the faculty.  Thank you so much specifically to the STEM-folks: Katelyn Eggiman, George Johnson,& Psalm Amos for managing creative solutions to manage instructional materials.  In Dental Hygiene: thanks so much to Glenda O’Malley and in Humanities: Mary Bonar for coordinating as well. 

To Human Resources:  Delene Bryant & Terrell Fox ensured our Payroll Completion, and several folks focused on ensuring our safety and security including; Greg Cranson, Nathan Torrez, Ethan Kasberg, Brandon Beauvais, David Banik, Emiliano Gamboa & Mike Erga.  

Our TSS team got the servers and network back immediately after the power came back!  Thank you to Jason Brandon, Ric Doike-Foreman, Vladamir Riazzanov, & Jason Leibert.  Several facilities folks were here addressing safety issues and literally removing obstacles for us to get safely back to work.  Thank you to Kimberlee Clark, Ron Norimatsu, Quang Le, Tom Harvey, Tony Diaz, Norm Mclain, & Dean Weller as well as a thank you to Junaid Haq for helping our parents and kids at the PCC!

Student Services colleagues and our residence hall teams really did so much for our students- thank you to Sundi Musnicki, Mashaal Shameem, Amalia Akagi, Darain Khan (RA), Riley Brooks (RA), Imani Mwakibete (RA), & Mustapha Ganiyu (RA), Asija Johnson (Blanton Turner)& Blake Rock (Blanton Turner).

And finally: Cat Chiappa, Steve, Marshall, Damon Logan, and all involved in communications!  There are areas to improve of course but we are so thankful of the thoughtfulness and action-orientation folks took to this.  Thats how we do it at SCC!  

Be well all- supposed to be some more wind action this weekend (not as bad but still some imapct).

Cheers,

Jack
