B. The task force shall:

1. 1. Evaluate major employers' travel reduction plans and approve or object to any such plan received.
2. 2. Review all responses by major employers to the annual survey and determine if they meet the requirements of this article.
3. 3. Review the travel reduction plan submitted by each major employer to conclude if the plan achieves the targeted increase in travel reduction measures along with the staff report on the plan.
4. 4. Monitor the implementation of each travel reduction plan as submitted by each major employer.

5. 5. Develop and implement policies, standards and criteria for certifying eligible motor vehicles as being reduced emission vehicles if they are substantially lower emitting in actual use than vehicles generally purchased in the area. The task force shall not certify any reduced emission vehicle or group of vehicles unless the task force has evidence of all of the following:

   1. (a) Results of a federal test procedure conducted pursuant to 40 Code of Federal Regulations part 86, subpart B, effective July 1, 1992, or an equivalent method approved by the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency, demonstrating substantially lower emissions from the vehicle or group of vehicles.
   2. (b) In the case of any device added to the vehicle to reduce emissions, that the device has printed on it, or on the packaging, a clear statement by the manufacturer as to whether use of the device will void any existing vehicle warranty, and what the manufacturer's responsibility will be under such circumstances. The state shall have no responsibility as to the validity of such statement.
   3. (c) United States environmental protection agency approval of the use of a reduced emission factor for that vehicle or group of vehicles as a revision to the state implementation plan.
6. 6. Develop and implement policies, standards and criteria for reduced emission vehicle factors to be applied to the single occupancy vehicle count and the motor vehicle miles traveled count pursuant to section 49-588. The reduced emission vehicle factor applied to a reduced emission vehicle shall be proportional to its average emission reduction in actual use as compared to vehicles generally purchased in the area.

G. If a major employer's travel reduction plan fails to achieve the target goals, the task force shall direct the staff to work with the employer to increase alternative modes of usage and reduce vehicle miles traveled in keeping with regional goals and to submit a plan addendum outlining activities aimed at correcting the plan deficiencies, unless the major employer's current efforts are judged to be sufficient based on:

1. 1. The cost of the employer's travel reduction program compared to the average cost of such programs for all major employers.
2. 2. Unusual circumstances faced by the major employer. If unusual circumstances do exist, the task force shall determine if major employers that fail to submit an addendum within ninety days after the date of written notice should be subject to enforcement action.
