The project title is 2012 CMAQ GTEC/TDM Expansion (Congestion Mitigation Air Quality/ Growth Transportation Efficiency Center). These funds are new. • Grant #2 is $270,000 Federal grant funding administered by WSDOT for expansion of trip reduction efforts for South King County. The project title is 2015 CMAQ Regional TDM Services (Congestion Mitigation Air Quality). These funds are new. • Grant #3 is the renewal of the current WSDOT TDM (Transportation Demand Management) allocation for the biennium 2015 -2017 and will be for $74,500. BACKGROUND Commute trip reduction (CTR) is a WSDOT grant funded program required by state law. The City ordinance #2201 is in compliance with state requirements. The first ordinance was adopted in 1991 and was updated to reflect current changes in law in 2010. Staff provides technical assistance to administer, implement, analyze and review employer programs to meet state trip reduction goals. Staff half time position is fully funded by WSDOT with no general funds used. The City of Tukwila has an opportunity to accept additional grant funds to fulfill our mission for cleaner air and to reduce congestion. In 2012, WSDOT submitted a CMAQ grant application to PSRC for a GTEC (Growth Transportation Efficiency Center) and TDM Expansion project to provide transportation demand management (TDM) in regional urban centers and corridors that serve them, and to implement regionwide demand management marketing and promotions. This application, Grant #1, was initially on the contingency list and is awarded at this time with funds obligated by WSDOT. Funding for TDM implementation will be provided to GTECs and their participating organizations, including local jurisdictions that implement commute trip reduction (CTR). GTECs are comprised of local jurisdictions, employers and community groups that intend to improve transportation efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Coalitions in ten regional growth centers (Canyon Park, Downtown Bellevue, Downtown Seattle, Downtown Tacoma, Everett, Lynnwood, Overlake, South Hill, Totem Lake and Tukwila) have produced GTEC plans, MI 5/15/15 InfomemoCMAQ2012 -2015 REVISED 6/1/15 79 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 which describe TDM services tailored to meet the needs of the center. Tukwila's GTEC is the Urban Center. In 2014, WSDOT submitted a CMAQ grant application to PSRC for Regional TDM projects which received high scores for emphasis on trip reduction efforts for the region. This grant ( #2) will build on our efforts in South King County to reduce trips in regional growth centers, implementing acitivities as outlined above. The two grants will allow a coalition to grow as well as provide a focused opportunity to test demand management strategies in our urban center. The Implementation Agreement (Grant #3) is essentially a renewal of WSDOT funds for CTR activities as has been in place since 1991 when the CTR law was passed. We renew funding every two years. DISCUSSION WSDOT is awarding federal grant funding (CMAQ) for enhancement for urban growth centers and corridors as defined by the Puget Sound Regional Council. The projects propose to further develop the use of the tool, Rideshareonline.com and will offer trip reduction services and incentives along with other activities designed to reduce trips to urban centers. Deliverables include intensive training, increased use of transportation alternatives such as bicycle and pedestrian use, as well as transit and rideshare activities. A pilot project with King County Housing Authority and Hopelink is intended to provide education and incentives to clients. A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is anticipated. Grant Project #1 will commence July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017 and Grant Project #2 will commence July 1, 2015 and end December 31, 2018. Allocation Grant for 2015 -2017 will commence July 1, 2015 and end June 30, 2017. The City Attorney's office reviewed the WSDOT boilerplate contracts in December 2014 and in April 2014. The three contracts will be sent to the city separately in June. The funding from both CMAQ grants will completely cover costs for at least one position along with marketing and material expenses to implement projects such as one with Hopelink. All three agreements will be in the same form as the boilerplate has been approved throughout the region by the partners in conjunction with WSDOT. For the projects, Tukwila's current CTR Coordinator will provide technical management for the project. Staff will be hired and housed at the City of Tukwila, Department of Community Development. There are no matching funds required for the City. FINANCIAL IMPACT Grant funds RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to accept three grant awards on the consent agenda at the June 15, 2015 Regular Meeting.

PRESENTATIONS II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Grant Acceptance: Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Staff is seeking Council approval to accept three grant awards relating to Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs. A revised informational memo was distributed to the Committee to correct the funding level of grant no. 2. 1. $186,334.64 in Federal funds administered by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for trip reduction efforts in Tukwila's regional growth center. 2. $270,000.00 in Federal funds administered by WSDOT for expansion of trip reduction efforts in South King County. 3. $74,500 funding renewal for the current TDM allocation for the 2015 -2017 biennium. The first two grants are part of WSDOT's effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by awarding Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) grants for projects in urban growth centers and corridors. The projects propose to enhance and expand trip reduction strategies such as online tools, trainings and incentives. Funding from the grants will completely cover costs for one position along with marketing and material expenses. The third grant is a renewal of WSDOT funds for the existing CTR program in the City, in place since 1991. No matching funds are required for any of the grants.
