How does an organization comply with a TRO?
BOOKMARK
Organizations usually develop a Workplace Travel Plan (WTP) — a written document presenting the organization’s plan to achieve the TRO goals. In addition, each organization needs to:
- Hire or appoint a mobility coordinator.
- Develop a marketing strategy.
- Conduct a periodic evaluation of results.
- Send annual or bi-annual reports to the public authority.
- Receive evaluations from the public authority.
Some TROs may offer alternatives to the development of a WTP. For example, they may allow organizations to pay a per-employee fee as an alternative to submitting the WTP and use the funding to support sustainable travel options in that area.
Mobility coordinators
- Each organization appoints a mobility coordinator.
- The mobility coordinator is tasked with creating, managing, and promoting an organization’s Workplace Travel Plan program.
- This can be a full-time position (in large organizations), or the duties can be added to a team member’s job description.
- A clear supervisor needs to be assigned to evaluate the Mobility Coordinator’s performance.
