Air
Quality-Rideshare Program
|
|
|
The
County of Los Angeles Air Quality-Rideshare Program,
mandated by County Ordinance 90-0033U, complies with
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
Rule 2202 Employee Commute Program and the federal
Clean Air Act.
Our
mission is to promote ridesharing and telework as
a workplace strategy that reduces traffic congestion,
air pollution and commuter costs. The Chief Executive Office sets program policy and coordinates implementation
of uniform procedures, through a Countywide Coordinator
Network. The County Labor-Management Advisory Committee
has oversight responsibility for Civic Center Rideshare
strategies and achievement of regional air quality/rideshare
goals.
