Air Quality Management District (AQMD) surveys are a necessary part of doing business in certain regions. In particular, the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Rule 2202 – Employee Commute Reduction Program – which aims to reduce pollution by reducing single-occupancy vehicle trips.
Conveniently, this is also one of our primary goals here at RideAmigos, and we’ve created an easy-to-use solution for fulfilling your annual AQMD survey requirements.
If you’ve never run AQMD surveys with us before, start by submitting a support request to let us know you’re interested. If you already have access to a RideAmigos platform we can add the appropriate survey template to your site. If you’re not already on board with RideAmigos, we’ll set up an account for you and help get the ball rolling to set up the survey with your particular details, participation links, etc.
Once your survey is underway, use the following instructions to view your responses and reports.
