TO: <br />FROM: <br />BY: <br />City of Tukwila <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />Transportation and Infrastructure Committee <br />Jack Pace, DCD Director <br />Maggie Lubov, CTR Coordinator <br />Valerie Lonneman, TDM Coordinator <br />CC: Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: October 6, 2017 <br />SUBJECT: King County Metro Transportation Demand Management Agreement 2017- <br />2019 <br />ISSUE <br />King County Metro Regional Mobility Grant (RMG) funding to continue implementation of <br />Transportation Demand Management (TDM) activities in south King County. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of Tukwila TDM Program was previously awarded RMG passthrough funding in <br />2016/17 to enhance TDM services in the south King County cities of Tukwila, Renton, Kent, <br />SeaTac, Federal Way, and Burien. TDM Program staff implemented outreach on behalf of <br />Metro's Just One Trip campaign to encourage anyone who lives, works, or spends time in the <br />target south King County jurisdictions to consider trying an alternative commute or travel mode. <br />DISCUSSION <br />A new wave of funding has been secured and offered to the City's TDM Program to continue <br />general TDM outreach services in south King County and explore opportunities for economies <br />of scale with ORCA card pass programs at non -CTR affected sites. The implementation will <br />include use of a new ridesharing/trip logging platform, which will allow the City and County to <br />assess opportunities for expanding the use such a program. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />There is no impact to the general fund. The funding leverages other TDM Program grants, <br />allowing for more robust implementation and contributes to sustaining the program's expanded <br />staff capacity. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Council is being asked to approve the King County Metro contract for the Transportation <br />Demand Management Program in the amount of $75,000 and consider this item on the Consent <br />Agenda at the October 16, 2017 Regular Meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachment A: King County Metro Transportation Demand Management Agreement 2017-2019 <br />23 <br />
