A. CTR Program. Not more than ninety days after the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, or within ninety days after an employer qualifies under the provisions of this chapter, the employer will be given ninety days to complete baseline data collection, and an additional ninety days to submit a CTR program once the baseline data results are given to the employer. The CTR program will be developed in consultation with the city and implemented not more than ninety days after the program’s approval by the city. Employers who do not implement an approved CTR program according to this section are in violation of this chapter.

B. Document Review. Monroe shall provide the employer with written notification if a CTR program is deemed unacceptable. The notification must give cause for any rejection. The employer shall have thirty days to resubmit a modified program. If the employer receives no written notification of extension of the review period of its CTR program or comments on the CTR program or annual report within ninety days of submission, the employer’s program or annual report is deemed accepted. The city may extend the review period up to ninety days. The implementation date for the employer’s CTR program will be extended an equivalent number of days.

C. Schedule. Upon review of an employer’s initial CTR program, Monroe shall establish the employer’s annual reporting date, which shall not be less than twelve months from the day the program is submitted. Each year, on the employer’s reporting date, the employer shall submit to Monroe its annual CTR report.

D. Modification of CTR Program Elements. Any major employer may submit a request to the city to allow for the modification of CTR program elements, other than the mandatory elements specified in this chapter, including record keeping requirements. Such request may be granted if one of the following conditions exists:

The city of Monroe may ask the employer to substitute a program element of similar trip reduction potential rather than grant the employer’s request.

E. Extensions. An employer may request additional time to submit a CTR program or CTR annual progress report, or to implement or modify a program. Such requests shall be made in writing at least thirty days before the due date for which the extension is being requested. Extensions not to exceed ninety days shall be considered for reasonable causes. The city shall grant or deny the employer’s extension request in writing within ten working days of receipt of the extension request. If there is no response issued to the employer, an extension is automatically granted for thirty days. Extensions shall not exempt an employer from any responsibility in meeting program goals and targets. Extensions granted due to delays or difficulties with any program element(s) shall not be cause for discontinuing or failing to implement other program elements.

An employer’s annual reporting date shall not be adjusted permanently as a result of these extensions. An employer’s annual reporting date may be extended at the discretion of the zoning administrator.

F. Implementation of Employer’s CTR Program. Unless extensions are granted, the employer shall implement its approved CTR program not more than ninety days after receiving written notice from the city that the program has been approved or with the expiration of the program review period without receiving notice from the city.
