Information distribution requirements
The following guidelines have been adopted to assist you with minimum information distribution requirements.
  1. Worksite program summary information to all employees: To satisfy program summary information requirements and satisfy completion of program implementation, an employer must demonstrate that they have distributed:
    • One written piece every year (at least once per year) that summarizes all the approved program elements in your CTR program. This summary must be distributed to all affected employees within 30 days of program approval. If electronic mail is available to all employees, your company could choose to distribute information electronically in lieu of distribution of a written program. Should you decide to use this method, please maintain a printed hard copy of this information as a sample in your files.
    • Information about any new element to all affected employees as it is introduced.
  2. Provide information to employees at the time of hire: New employees must receive the written general program information piece at the time of hire.
  3. Other information on alternatives to SOV commuting: At least once a year, the employer must provide information on alternatives to SOV commuting to employees. This information can be a single program element (i.e. transit subsidy), single mode choice (i.e. carpooling) or general commute information distributed through means other than the general program summary noted above (i.e. transportation event, e-mail).
