Jefferson St. Suite 410 Phoenix, Arizona 85003 Maricopa.gov/2388 CleanAirMakeMore.com/TRP TRAVEL REDUCTION PROGRAM FY2022 AT A GLANCE On January 1, 2022, the Travel Reduction Program (TRP) adopted the new Standard Travel Reduction Plan (plan) template. The plan decreased from four pages to one page and added check boxes for quick and convenient selection of measures. TRP implemented a plan review and monitoring process that improves efficiency and saves time for Transportation Coordinators. This process meets the requirements of the Arizona Revised Statute § 49-581 et seq. and the Maricopa County Ordinance P-7, while removing burdensome obligations. During the June 7, 2022, public meeting, TRP received approval for the Employer Exemption Application from the TRP Regional Task Force. The application streamlines the exemption process and clarifies documentation expectations.
