FEDERAL FACILITY RIDESHARING PROGRAM
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
and statutes of the United States of America, and in order
to increase ridesharing as a means to conserve petroleum,
reduce congestion, improve air quality, and provide an
economical way for Federal employees to commute to work, it
is hereby ordered as follows:
1-1. Responsibilities of Executive Agencies
1-101. Executive agencies shall promote the use of ride-
sharing (carpools, vanpools, privately leased buses, public
transportation, and other multi-occupancy modes of travel)
by personnel working at Federal facilities. Agency actions
pursuant to this Order shall be consistent with Circular A-
118 issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
1-102. Agencies shall establish an annual ridesharing
goal tailored to each facility, and expressed as a percentage
of fulitime personnel working at that facility who use
ridesharing in the commute between home and work. Agencies
that share facilities or that are within easy walking distance
of one another should coordinate their efforts to develop
and implement ridesharing opportunities.
1-103. Agencies shall designate, in accordance with OMB
Circular A-118, an employee transportation coordinator.
Agencies that share facilities may designate a single trans-
portation coordinator. The coordinator shall assist employees in
forming carpools or vanpools (employee-owned or leased) and
facilitate employee participation in ridesharing matching
programs. The coordinator shall publicize within the facility
the availability of public transportation. The coordinator
shall also communicate employee needs for new or improved
transportation service to the appropriate local public
transit authorities or other organizations furnishing multi-
passenger modes of travel.
1-104+. Agencies shall report to the Administrator of
General Services, hereinafter referred to as the Administra-
tor, the goals established, the means developed to achieve
those goals, and the progress achieved. These reports shall
be in such form and frequency as the Administrator may
require.
1-2. Responsibilities of the Administrator of General Services
1-201. The Administrator shall issue such regulations as
are necessary to implement this Order.

1-202. The Administrator may exempt small, remotely
located Federal facilities from the requirements of Sections
1-102, 1-103, and 1-1014 on his own initiative or upon request
of the agency. An exemption shall be granted in whole or in
part when, in the judgment of the Administrator, the require-
ments of those Sections would not yield significant ridesharing
benefits.
1-203. The Administrator shall, in consultation with the
Secretary of Transportation, periodically provide agencies
with guidelines, instructions, and other practical aids for
establishing, implementing, and improving their ridesharing
programs.
1-2014. The Administrator shall assist in coordinating the
ridesharing activities of the agencies with the efforts of
the Department of Energy, under the Federal Energy Management
Program and in the development of an emergency energy conser-
vation plan for the Federal government.
1-205. The Administrator shall take into consideration
the advice of the Environmental Protection Agency under the
Clean Air Act, as amended, in performing his responsibilities
under this Order.
1-206. The Administrator shall, in consultation with the
Secretary of Transportation, report annually to the President
on the performance of the agencies in implementing the
policies and actions contained in this Order. The report
shall include (a) an assessment of each agency's performance,
including the reasonableness of its goals and the adequacy
of its effort, (b) a comparison of private sector and State
and local government ridesharing efforts with those of the
Federal government, and (c) recommendations for additional
actions necessary to remove barriers or to provide additional
incentives to encourage more ridesharing by personnel at
Federal facilities.
