The City has been awarded $336,000 for the 2021- 2023 biennium and is projected to receive $336,000 for the 2023-2025 biennium. BACKGROUND The TDM Program was awarded and is currently administering a July 2019 — June 2021 Regional Mobility Grant. The TDM Program successfully applied for a new 4 -year "Regional TDM for South King County" project. This new funding award will enable the TDM Program to continue providing regional TDM services in Tukwila and partner cities in South King County including Burien, Des Moines, Kent, Renton and SeaTac. DISCUSSION The RMG project, to be implemented July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2025, will provide TDM services to employers, residents, commuters and visitors in Tukwila and partner cities to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in South King County. By providing transportation information, resources and incentives, the project will encourage a mode shift away from driving alone and increase the use of transit, carpooling, active transportation, telecommuting, and new mobility services. FINANCIAL IMPACT There will be no impact to the general fund. Local match (20% of the project budget, $168,000) will be provided by the City's TDM Allocation (formerly called Commute Trip Reduction) plus funding from a federal 2023-2024 CMAQ grant award and/or local in-kind funding should there be any. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to accept the WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant Program Award and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the June 21, 2021, Regular Meeting.
