I think I might know this answer but I need some advice to confirm my hunch....The project I am working on is a 5,000sf university owned educational center located 30 min from an urban area. The only full time employee is the facility manager who arrives at 7:30. Three other employees, which includes the Director of the building, are regular occupants but only work at the center two days per week. Since it is an educational center, university students, K-12 students, and teachers frequent this building and make up more than 80% of the building's occupants. That leaves me with four employees who would be eligible to be included in the survey correct?? I am still confused about whether or not I can claim those employees that work only two days a week as "regular occupants".

They are indeed 'regular occupants'. This becomes a bit simpler if you think about each employee in terms of commute trips. If I understand the situation, you have a Facility Manager working 5 days/week (therefore making 10 commute trips). You also have 3 employees who each work two days - 3 employees x 2 days x 2 commute trips per working day = an additional 12 trips. So your building has a baseline of 22 conventional commute trips per week from which you will determine your 'reduction'. Hope that helps. Dan
