Mr.
Chairman: The RideSources Metrochek Program for Fairfax
County Government employees was established in 1993.
The program provides, to qualified employees, a Metrochek,
currently up to $60 per month, to the employee to use
for their transit (bus and rail) and van pool commute
to work. The Metrochek cost is the responsibility of
the county. The program currently has participants from
the Government Center Complex and the Public Safety
Complex.
Metrochek
is a strategy, along with such work options as Telework
and flexible schedules, that county government can offer
its employees to reduce traffic congestion and improve
air quality in the region.
Mr.
Chairman, I believe that it is time to expand the program
to employees at additional work sites around the county
and to clarify that the program is open to full time
merit, limited term, and exempt county employees. Therefore,
I ask that the County Executive report back to the Board
on how to expand, promote and fund the Metrochek Program
for County employees.
