Colorado air regulators have decided to limit a regulatory initiative to reduce employee traffic to the Front Range after hearing concerns about the idea of applying it statewide.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environmentâs Air Pollution Control Division is moving toward drafting a proposed Employee Traffic Reduction Program rule, which is intended to help cut greenhouse gas emissions in the state.
The goal is to require larger companies to develop plans to cut driving by commuters via means such as telecommuting, public transit, ride-sharing and bicycling.
Last month, regulatory staff said they were exploring a statewide requirement that potentially would apply wherever at least 100 people work at a single location.
