Step 5: Survey Week Commute Information

Instructions: Please select a time and commute mode for each day that appears below. You should fill out the time you began work.

If you were on vacation, out sick or had a regular day off during the survey week, please provide your normal scheduled time for that day.

In the blue section below, the most common misinterpreted codes are defined.

Commute Modes Explained

A.	Zero Emission Vehicle (Electric Vehicle/Fuel Cell)

Select this mode for every day that you commute to work in a zero emission vehicle. If you drive alone or carpool in a zero emission vehicle, please select Zero Emission Vehicle on that/those day(s). Zero Emission Vehicle can also include Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicle. Employees arriving to work in a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) meet the definition of a zero emission vehicle provided that the entire trip to work is made exclusively under electric power. This applies to plug-in vehicles with all electric range that can travel exclusively under electric power without use of the gasoline engine or cogeneration system.


F.	Telecommute (Work from home/Remote)

Select this mode on the day(s) you telecommute. Telecommuting is defined as working at home, off site, a satellite office or at a telecommuting center during the entire day. Select this mode if you work at home, or if your commute to a telecommuting center results in a reduction of 51% or more of your commute distance between your home and your worksite. Remote employees are employees who are assigned to a regulated worksite, but primarily live and work outside of the South Coast AQMD and physically commute to the regulated worksite less than five days a year.


G.	Noncommuting (at site for 24 hours or outside district for 24 hours)

Select this mode to indicate the days you are either outside the South Coast AQMD jurisdiction (all of Orange County and the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties) to complete work assignments, or you generate no vehicle trips associated with arriving at the worksite (e.g., hospital employees, fire fighters, airline employees who stay at the worksite over a 24 hour period, etc.)


Compressed Work Week Day(s) Off:

Select one of these modes to indicate your compressed work weekday off. Select this only if you were off during the survey week. Compressed work week includes rotating day off (RDO), flex day off, and other alternate work week schedules.

Code X: 3/36- work 3 days/12 hours each day; 2 days off

Code Y: 4/40- work 4 days/10 hours each day; 1 day off

Code Z: 9/80- work 9 days/80 hours; 1 day off in a 2-week period

If you have more than 2 days off in a 7-day period due to a compressed work week or alternative work schedule (i.e., rotating day off (RDO), flex day off, or 4/40, 9/80 or 3/36 schedule), please review options X, Y, and Z above to note your days off.

Step 6: Commuter Information

Yes: Please send me a RideGuide which provides a list of commuters (including co-workers) who live near me and are interested in sharing a ride to work. The RideGuide also provides a list of Park and Ride lot locations and information on other ridesharing options such as Metrolink/rail, vanpools and public bus. By checking yes, I understand that my name, telephone number, and/or email address will be provided to other commuters who want to carpool to work. *

No: I do not want to receive a RideGuide at this time. *

*Per California Penal Code section 637.6 this information will only be used for ridesharing purposes. I agree that the information provided to IE Commuter and for RideGuides will be entered into a regional ridematching database. I understand that the information I provide will only be used for the purpose of generating lists of interested rideshare partners and that those individuals who receive my contact information WILL NOT be provided my home address. Regional ridematching services are sponsored by Riverside County Transportation Commission and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority through a joint partnership and they are prohibited from disclosing this information with other persons or entities without my prior written consent.

I acknowledge that my participation in IE Commuter is voluntary and that I am responsible for my participation in a rideshare arrangement.
