                                 A BILL


 
To amend the Clean Air Act to provide for an optional provision for the 
 reduction of work-related vehicle trips and miles travelled in ozone 
   nonattainment areas designated as severe, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. OPTIONAL EMPLOYER MANDATED TRIP REDUCTION.

    Section 182(d)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 
7511a(d)(1)(B)) is amended to read as follows:
            ``(B)(i) The State may submit a revision at any time 
        requiring employers in the area to implement programs to reduce 
        work-related vehicle trips and miles traveled by employees.
            ``(ii) A revision under clause (i) may require that 
        employers in the area increase average passenger occupancy per 
        vehicle in commuting trips between home and the workplace 
        during peak travel periods.
            ``(iii) A revision under clause (i) shall be developed in 
        accordance with guidance issued by the Administrator under 
        section 108(f). The guidance may specify average vehicle 
        occupancy rates that vary for locations within a nonattainment 
        area (suburban, center city, business district) or among 
        nonattainment areas reflecting occupancy rates and the 
        availability of high occupancy modes.
            ``(v) A revision under clause (i) may require employers 
        subject to a vehicle occupancy requirement to submit a 
        compliance plan to demonstrate compliance with any requirements 
        imposed under this subparagraph.''.
