What is the goal of the Try Parking It website?
The Try Parking It Web site is a part of NCTCOG’s Employer Trip Reduction (ETR) Program. The ETR Program’s goal is to reduce the number of commuter trips to work. Currently there is no system in place to account for the number of commute trips reduced when people utilize alternatives to driving alone to work. By tracking this information, NCTCOG is able to calculate the amount of air quality emission reduced and the number of miles saved. The Try Parking It Web site was designed to track these commute trips. The Website is open to the public to use on a voluntary basis. Some employers offer incentives to their employees to utilize alternative commute solutions; please check with your employer to find out what programs they may have in place. NCTCOG works closely with interested employers who wish to offer their employees commuter benefits including alternative commute incentives.
