Action GOV-01-a: Conduct an employee commute survey every two years to understand current modes of commute, measure employee commute VMT, primary travel mode, and fuel type. The aim of the survey would be:

- to assess the effectiveness of County incentives, policies, and TDM measures (e.g., bike facilities, carpools, first mile/last mile connections, guaranteed ride home);
- to understand and remove barriers for using/accessing any programs; and
- to understand the need for strengthening EV infrastructure and policies at County buildings and facilities.
