Included in this effort is the development of a regional scatterplot map showing the rough locations of where employees live throughout the location without the need for using private addresses as a way to protect employee privacy. Once the scatterplot map is produced, Transportation Planning staff will hold in-person meetings to promote van-pooling amongst staff.
