CC ri- T r R djct on Han Drat:. L 4
::-
The Jurisdiction proposes to implement the following elements as part of its Commute Trip
Reduction plan. Implementation of the elements will be done in partnership and coordination with
other agencies. Listed below are the following planned local services and strategies for achieving
the established goals and targets for 2011
A. Policies and Regulations (0 N /A)
As described above, the City of Tukwila has many policies that support CTR. Most of the
updates to the Comprehensive Plan that are proposed below are only minor changes to
existing policy language, or are to be included as implementation strategies in the
Comprehensive Plan, outlining strategies for the goals and policies that are already in
place. In addition to implementation strategies, there are some minor changes to existing
Comprehensive Plan policies to make them more specific as related to non motorized
transportation.
1. Comprehensive plan policies (I N /A)
The City of Tukwila will set an example to other employers of their commitment to
reducing SOV and miles traveled through implementation of CTR goals and
concurrently with the (pending) Climate Change Initiative, and the (pending) Walk
and Roll Plan.
Adopt the Walk and Roll Plan by reference within the City of Tukwila's
Comprehensive Plan.
In addition to the existing Comprehensive Plan policies, the jurisdiction is considering
revising and /or adding the following policies that will strengthen the Jurisdiction's policies
for supporting Commute Trip Reduction:
(List proposed policy changes/additions)
Policy 2.1.4 Budget for public infrastructure (for example, roads, sewers, curbs,
lighting, parks, open space). Use some capital funds to encourage in -fill, land
assembly, redevelopment, and land conversion for family -wage jobs, but only if
concurrent with substantial private actions.
Change to include sidewalks and trails as examples of public infrastructure for
which the City should budget.
2. Land use regulations (0 N /A)
(Identify proposed land use changes)
The Tukwila Urban Center Plan will include a set of proposed land use
changes, including amending the zoning code to allow mixed -use residential
development in specific areas within the TUC, as well as street design
standards to increase the level of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and
amenities provided when new development or redevelopment occurs. These
changes will encourage a greater balance of housing and jobs, and will work
to enable a more pedestrian- and bicycle- friendly mixed use center.
Commute T Reduction ;hail Draft :20
R'L1R F-"=lan:PDP,Tukwita €.Fra``. GIR ;3R
The Walk Roll bicycle and pedestrian plan will outline bicycle friendly routes
that are priority locations for the addition of bicycle facilities, as well as areas
where trails or sidewalks should be added to increase the level of connectivity
within the City of Tukwila for non- motorized modes of transportation. These
facilities will be required to be constructed at the time that street construction
or repaving projects occur, or when new development or redevelopment
occurs. The design guidelines contained in the Walk Roll Plan will help
define the term "pedestrian- friendly" used within Tukwila's Comprehensive
Plan.
The City of Tukwila will consider adoption of a Complete Streets Ordinance.
3. Zoning code regulations N /A)
(Identify proposed changes to the Jurisdiction's zoning code such as parking codes,
design standards, etc.)

employment sites.
4. Street design standards (0 N /A)
(Identify proposed changes to the Jurisdiction's street standards, including pedestrian and
bicycle design guidelines)
The Tukwila Urban Center Ptan will outline the specific bicycle and pedestrian
facilities planned for different corridors within the TUC.
The Walk Roll Plan provides design guidelines to be applied to a prioritized
list of projects developed for pedestrian and bicycle facilities that are to be
constructed within Tukwila.
5. Concurrency regulations (0 N /A)

NOTE: This section is only applicable to jurisdictions that are applying for a GTEC
designation.
Under the Washington State CTR Efficiency Act, the City of Tukwila was given the option of
developing a Growth and Transportation Efficiency Center (GTEC) program. The GTEC program
is a voluntary program designed to encourage cities to expand CTR efforts to additional employers
and residential groups within a defined area.
The City of Tukwila has proposed to develop a Growth and Transportation Efficiency Center
(GTEC) for the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC). The TUC has been designated as a regional growth
center by the Puget Sound Regional Council. The center is made up of a retail, commercial and
light industrial /warehouse uses. There is no housing in the center currently, but a large number of
multi family unites are situated just north of the center, across interstate 405.
The GTEC program is a collection of City- adopted goals and policies, facility and service
improvements and marketing strategies that are designed to help the City make progress for
reducing drive alone trip and vehicle miles traveled for the GTEC over the next six years._ The
program also specifies a financial plan and organizational structure for implementing the program
strategies and services. Building upon the success of the existing commute trip reduction (CTR)
program, the City strives to meet the goals of the plan for the future by working in partnership and
coordination with other agencies.
The GTEC program has been developed through extensive involvement by employers,
organizations, and individuals from throughout the City who helped identify strategies and ways for
successful achievement of the goals. The GTEC Plan helps to support the achievement of the
City's overall CTR Plan.
