The funding source is a TDM Corridor Strategies <br />Supporting Centers federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant. Funding will be used to <br />continue implementation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) activities in south King <br />County. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of Tukwila TDM Program was previously awarded King County passthrough funding in <br />2016/17 and 2017/19 to enhance TDM services in south King County. TDM Program staff <br />implemented outreach on behalf of King County Metro's Just One Trip campaign to encourage <br />anyone who lives, works, or spends time in the target south King County jurisdictions to <br />consider trying an alternative commute or travel mode. <br />DISCUSSION <br />A new funding opportunity has been offered to the City's TDM Program to continue TDM <br />outreach services in south King County through November 30, 2020. Additionally, Metro <br />requested the City adopt a special transit Title VI Program to be eligible as a sub -grantee of <br />King County. TDM services and outreach will be provided at activity centers (e.g. business <br />parks, commercial and residential multi -tenant buildings, educational institutions). A key strategy <br />is to develop partnerships with embedded organizations in the community to facilitate more <br />effective outreach and improve long-term program outcomes. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />There will be no impact to the general fund. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />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 December 2, 2019, Regular Meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachment A: King County Metro Transportation Demand Management Agreement 2019-2020 <br />
