Carter puts emphasis on carpooling
WASHINGTON (AFNS)—President Jim-
my Carter has ordered federal agen-
cies to give emphasis to carpooling,
vanpooling and mass transit.
Executive order 12191, the Fed-
eral Facility Ridesharing Program,
has the goal of conserving energy,

Officer by CDR Richard T. Porter, Naval Facility's Commanding Officer, and
Mrs. Becky Dolle upon his recent promotion to Lieutenant Commander.
cutting congestion and easing air
pollution.
The order has three main parts.
First, federal agencies are
directed to establish an annual
ridesharing goal. The goal would
be determined as a percentage of
those who commute alone versus those
who double-up or take mass transit.
Second, each agency will appoint
transportation coordinators. These
people will work to get employees
involved in a carpool and publicize
the program locally.
Third, agencies are directed to
report on their goals and the means
they will use to accomplish them.
The General Services Administration
will issue the regulations to launch
the program.
Those regulations are being work-
ed on now, said GSA spokesman Bob
Fisher. He said he expects it will
be at least two or three months be-
fore the regulations are ready.
The order exempts small, remotely
located facilities but other speci-
fics are not available.
The president also ordered pro-
gram participants to coordinate
their efforts with other energy con-
servation plans. One of these, the
pay-to-park program, went into ef-
fect in November, requiring fees
for parking at the Pentagon and
selected Defense installations.
The GSA acts as the landlord for
the Pentagon and federal buildings
outside the Defense Department.
