This Diamond Ring is richly deserved by a company that has continually supported trip reduction efforts since the beginning of the CTR program. As a multiple award winner, CH2M HILL continues to provide employees with excellent tools to change commute patterns for both worksites in Bellevue and Seattle.

According to their recent internal survey, over 70% of employees participate in alternative modes to driving alone at least once a week or more. The program centers on a liberally subsidized annual ORCA passport for employees. An innovative twist to this program is an employee check out program for the use of ORCA cards for employees and guests for limited time to allow them to jump onto transit when possible. This allows the carpooler or drive alone employee to use the varied transit network on an occasional basis. CH2M HILL offers an employee shuttle bike program for those quick trips during work hours around Bellevue.

Monica Joyce, the employee transportation coordinator, supports the CTR Program wholeheartedly with the total support of management. Her commitment and many efforts pay off for this award winning company with outstanding results.

*Some definitions: An "ETC" is the staff-level employee transportation coordinator responsible for the daily administration of the transportation program. "SOV" stands for single-occupant vehicle, and "CTR" for commute trip reduction.
