Durham Commute Trip Reduction Ordinance
In 1999, Durham County adopted the Durham Commute Trip Reduction Ordinance after receiving recommendations from a committee of business and community leaders. The City of Durham also adopted the City of DurhamTrip Reduction Resolution in conjunction with the County Ordinance. The purpose of the ordinance and the resolution is to engage large employers in Durham County to do their part to reduce automobile congestion and pollution.
