Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program

In order to relieve traffic congestion and improve air quality, Court employees are encouraged to use alternative forms of transportation rather than driving alone to and from work. Alternative forms of transportation include commuting by carpool, vanpool or bus, or by bicycle, or walking. Regular employees that use an alternative commute mode at least 80% of the normally scheduled work days during a pay period are eligible for the TDM Incentive in that pay period, which is an additional accrual of 0.62 hours of vacation for fulltime employees (prorated for part-time employees). This program is an honor program. Employees who regularly participate in the TDM Program can earn up to two additional vacation days per year.

A regular TDM participant not commuting to work on a regular workday due to a holiday, vacation or sick day may count that day toward the 80% Incentive requirement. An employee on an alternative work schedule that reduces the number of days that he/she reports to work (e.g., a 9/80 schedule reduces the reporting days in a pay period from ten to nine) may credit the non-reporting day toward the 80% requirement. However, employees must use an alternative commute mode to be eligible and cannot qualify for the TDM Incentive based solely on an alternative work schedule.
