National Commuter Choice Leadership
Initiative (CCLI) Strategy, Recruiting, and Technical
Support
ICF International helped the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) establish the CCLI program, which
encourages employers to meet a National Standard
of Excellence in providing employees with a range
of commute options and benefits. We worked with
EPA to develop the foundation for the Best Workplaces
for Commuters program, including developing the
employer agreement, briefing papers on commuting
topics, a Web-based Commuter Choice business benefits
calculator, and other technical resources for
employers. ICF International also developed marketing
materials and a strategy for recruiting employers
into the program—including developing a network
of regional lead and supporting recruiters—and
worked closely with the Association for Commuter
Transportation (ACT), regional commuter organizations,
and transportation management associations (TMAs)
to generate interest among employers in the initiative.
Strategies to Increase the
Effectiveness of Commuter Benefits Programs, for
the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP)
ICF International developed a national guidebook—designed
for transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations
(MPOs), and transportation management associations
(TMAs)—to help these groups increase the
effectiveness of their efforts to promote commuter
benefits programs. We interviewed transportation
agencies and employers in metropolitan areas across
the U.S. and conducted employer focus groups,
in order to identify factors that motivated employers
to adopt commuter benefits programs, as well as
to identify barriers to implementation and develop
strategies for transportation agencies to increase
employer adoption of commuter benefits programs.

CommuteSmart Program
and TDM Outreach, Communications, and Technical
Support, for Birmingham Regional Planning Commission
(Alabama)
ICF International is supporting the Birmingham Regional
Planning Commission (RPC) in the development of
marketing materials for its CommuteSmart
Program and regional ozone action program. This
work includes developing presentations for employers,
conducting workshops with employers, and producing
brochures, pamphlets, and radio and television
advertisements. We also assisted the RPC in evaluating
the emissions effects and cost effectiveness of
projects proposed for funding under the Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ)
program. View

Transportation Demand Strategy
Development and Analysis, for the Southern Appalachian
Mountain Initiative (SAMI)
ICF International developed and analyzed a package
of incentive-oriented transportation strategies
to reduce emissions from motor vehicles in the
SAMI states. We worked with a broad stakeholder
group to identify strategies and develop quantitative
estimates of their potential to reduce emissions
in the SAMI region.
Methodologies for Evaluating
the Emission Effects of Transportation Control
Measures (TCMs) for U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA)
ICF International developed a methods workbook for
estimating the emission impacts of transportation
control measures (TCMs) implemented under the
Clean Air Act Amendments. The workbook contains
quantitative methodologies for calculating trip
reductions, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) reductions,
and speed increases for TCMs. We also developed
detailed, step-by-step examples of applications
of the guidance methodology for ten actual TCM
programs in the U.S.
