60 CTR Affected Worksites 43 in City of Vancouver

3 Worksites in Vancouver’s Downtown 7 in Unincorporated Clark County 8 in City of Camas 2 in City of Washougal

WHY CARPOOL & BICYCLE FOCUS?

CONGESTION Congestion primarily impacts the

southbound commuter to Oregon Congestion not a factor for the CTR

affected worksites

PARKING 2 Worksites: Employees pay up to

$60/month for parking 2 Worksites: Charge Nominal Amount 53 Worksites Have Abundant Free

Parking

TRANSIT 3 (<1%)Worksites Located Downtown

with several route options 11(18%) Worksites Located near routes

with 15 minute headways 44 (73%)Worksites Located near routes

with 30-60 minute headways 2 Worksites No Transit

Transit Most commuters at the CTR worksites

would require at least one transfer to use transit to work

With the average VMT of 11 miles a commuter that needs at least one transfer indicates the bus ride can add up to 60 minutes or more to their commute which is prohibitive to using transit

each worksite Strongly encourage each worksite have

a carpool program and designated carpool parking

groups with 4 or more worksites within a 1-5 block radius
