MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
STATINTL FROM
SUBJECT Non-profit Transportation Association
1. It has been a government-wide policy, and certainly
in the interest of this Agency, to assist employees in finding
transportation options other than the one car-one person
approach. Precedents have been set in current programs for
reserved parking spaces for car pools and special Metro Bus
routes. ADMAG has had under consideration for some time two
proposals that address the transportation problem. One calls
for the Credit Union to offer preferential vehicle loan rates
under very strict controls to induce more extensive car
pooling. The other would require a non-profit Transportation
Association based along the lines of the Employee Activity
Association and the Credit Union. Both approaches could
provide door-to-door transportation to our various locations
for a great number of our employees at less expense than
operating their personal vehicles. Activation of either system
could also improve the general tight parking situation faced
by most of our locations. ADMAG recommends that both proposals
be studied by the DDA to determine their possible value to the
Agency.
2. Preferential Loan Rate - This approach would require
the Agency Cre It Union to offer a preferential vehicle loan
rate under strict controls. Any Credit Union member willing
to comply with the required controls would be eligible for
one of a limited number of preferential vehicle loans at a
rate matching the current dividend level, 6.25 percent.
Participants would be able to select the vehicle of their
choice, new or used, but must revalidate their eligibility
every three months. The controls should include signed proof
of daily and acceptable door-to-door transportation from at
least six employees. At any time the driver no longer complies
with the requirements, the loan would automatically revert to
the regular 9 percent level. The advantages of this system
are evident; including minimum Agency involvement, no legal
or maintenance considerations, and ease of immediate system
conversion when either the association or individual desires.
All Credit Union members would be eligible to apply for one
of the preferred rate loans.

3. Non-Profit Association, Leased Vehicles - Initially,
only a small number of nine passenger vans, equipped with
air conditioning and radio, would be leased by the Association
with the backing of the Agency Credit Union or Employee
Activity Association. These vans would be operated by
volunteer drivers under the following conditions:
a. Each driver would be required to obtain
a chauffeur's license.
b. The drivers must provide door-to-door
transportation for themselves and at least six
passengers to and from the Agency each working
day. A central listing of interested drivers
and riders would be available through the
Association.
c. A backup driver should be available
within each car pool.
d. Drivers would retain their status so
long as their service meets the above require-
ments and the approval of their passengers.
In return for their services, the drivers would receive:
a. The free use of the vehicle during
non-work hours.
b. A transportation allowance covering
official gasoline costs.
c. Maintenance, insurance and necessary
parking fees paid on the vehicle.
Passengers would pay their monthly subscriptions, in
advance, directly to the Association rather than the drivers.
Accounts could be credited for any work day transportation
failed to show. A monthly subscription rate would be determined
for each car pool based on fixed costs, distance covered and.
number of passengers. Estimated charges for a leased van
providing door-to-door service in the metropolitan area for
seven employees would be approximately $45 per person per month.
This approximates the average cost to Metro Bus transportation
to Headquarters during the same period.
The Association, macl.e up of volunteer participants, would
be responsible for meeting all expenses including lease or
eventual purchase of vans, insurance, maintenance and transpor-
tation allowance, all paid from the passenger's subscriptions.

There would be no official Agency involvement with or funding
of the Association.
4. ADMAG members have surfaced the proposals informally
with employees in their respective offices and have received
favorable and interested responses. This interest was
certainly higher during the gas shortages, and although
interest may have abated, justifiably or not, ADMAG is of
the opinion the proposals are deserving of further study.
However, the members have exhausted their areas of expertise
and therefore solicit the following assistance of the DDA
in furthering the study.
a. Present the proposals to the Office
of General Counsel. for legal opinion.
b. Present the proposals to the Credit
Union Association for their views.
c. Present the proposals to the Employee
Activity Association for their comments.
