Sustainable Transportation

This includes both employee commuting and fleet vehicle usage. EVC will continually aim to reduce SOV travel and ensures that this type of travel is effectively reduced through behavioral changes, recorded as part of our SOV Reduction Standard Operating Procedures, which we expect our staff to engage in.

Eagle Vally Commercial reduces air pollution and vehicle traffic by encouraging our employees to opt for carpooling, walking, biking, and using local public transportation whenever possible. Eagle Valley Commercial will monitor the total mileage from all travel, including employee commuting and company vehicle operation, monthly and recorded on at least a quarterly basis. Monitoring will be done systematically.

Eagle Valley Commercial has identified the following ways and opportunities to understand vehicle mileage traveled of our business’s operations and reduce vehicle mileage traveled by our business generally. These are listed below.

1. Employee commuting mileage and frequency will be totaled in part to establish a CO2 emissions baseline. Then, commuting mileage will be recorded on a monthly basis, and input into the SMS on at least a quarterly basis, to track trends.
2. Mileage on fleet vehicle (only one at the time) will be tracked on a monthly basis, and input into the SMS on at least a quarterly basis. Employees will be encouraged to use fuel in these vehicles responsibly.
3. EVC will purchase an electric vehicle by 2026 to be used as a fleet vehicle and a second electric vehicle to be available for employees by 2028.
4. Management will gift an ebike to the employee that uses public transportation the most during the year, at the end of winter season for the next 3 years. Management will track public transportation use by surveying their empoyees.

1. Collect data from employees monthly.
2. Schedule recurring cleanings efficiently to avoid extra driving to the same area during the week.
3. Encourage EVC staff to carpool, or use public transportation when available.
