CTR Survey Extended til 1/6- Please fill it out if you have not already done so

January 2, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Greetings,

Good news! We have been given an extension to submit the CTR survey until 1/6/25. Surveys can be submitted up until midnight on Monday, 1/6/25. If you have already participated, no need to resubmit.

The survey only takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Use this link to take the survey: https://ctrsurvey.org/s/2024-scc-staff-are-great

Or please use QR code attached, to take the survey on your smartphone or tablet.

This is an image of a QR code. The link in this e-mail also takes you to the same place.

Enter to win some fun prizes by taking the survey and then take a screenshot of the submission page (please use subject: Prize Drawing), and e-mail it to Mary Lou Ames (in Safety & Security) at: mames@shoreline.edu

Prize drawing includes your chance to win from the following: 5 rechargeable arm bands, 3 rechargeable beanies, 3 rechargeable vests, 2 Amazon Gift Cards ($25, each).

Please participate, as this is a requirement as a CTR-affected employer in WA State. 

We are aiming for 100% participation, this survey is required per Commute Trip Reduction in WA State.  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.

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.

Please also submit the survey if you are working hybrid or part-time.

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!
