The City has been awarded $416,000 for the 2025- <br />2027 biennium and is projected to receive $416,000 for the 2027-2029 biennium. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The TDM Program successfully applied for a new 4-year "Tukwila and South King County TDM" project <br />to continue providing regional TDM services. This is the third time the TDM Program has been awarded <br />funding from the Regional Mobility Grant. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The scope of the 4-year (July 2025 to June 2029) project is to provide TDM programming and services <br />to employers, residents, and workers in Tukwila and South King County to reduce drive -alone travel <br />and traffic congestion. The project will use TDM strategies to increase the use of transit, carpooling, <br />active transportation, telework, and new mobility services. Strategies include outreach, education, and <br />incentives such as ORCA cards and safety gear to encourage sustainable transportation choices. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />There will be no impact to the general fund. Local match (20% of the project budget, $208,000) will be <br />provided by the City's Commute Trip Reduction grant funding, plus any local in -kind funding should <br />there be any. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Council is being asked to accept the WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant Program Award and <br />consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the September 8, 2025, Special Meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachment A: Regional Mobility Grant (RMG) Award Letter <br />Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206-433-1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov <br />49 <br />
