(b) An employer may average between target areas only if the employer develops and implements a plan that achieves APO increases equal to the APO increases that would be required if the employer implemented separate plans for each worksite.
(c) The averaging program shall be implemented through a single plan which shall establish APO requirements for each site.
(d) There shall be a separate transportation coordinator at each worksite.
(e) The worksite manager and transportation coordinator shall be responsible for implementing the plan at each worksite.

(b) Employers participating in the development of a multiemployer plan shall accumulate the employer data for establishing the APO for the multiemployer plan. The employers participating in the multiemployer plan shall, within the plan, describe and implement an internally enforceable process so that the multiemployer plan achieves increases required in the target area where the worksites are located. The plan shall describe each employers required APO.
(c) Each employer shall be responsible for implementing the multiemployer plan.
