SUBJECT: WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant Program Award 2019-2021
ISSUE
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program is asking for approval to accept the
Regional Mobility Grant (RMG) Program Award 2019-2021, a Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) grant.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the City's TDM Program has received RMG funding through a partnership with
King County Metro, who provided pass -through funds to reduce drive alone trips in south King
County. With the previous grant funding concluding, the City's TDM Program applied for RMG
funding for the 2019-2021 grant cycle to continue TDM outreach activities in Tukwila and
partnering south King County jurisdictions.
DISCUSSION
The RMG project, to be implemented July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021, will focus on
providing TDM services at selected activity centers (e.g. business parks, commercial and
residential multi -tenant buildings, educational institutions) and congested corridors within
Tukwila and the partnering jurisdictions of Renton, SeaTac, and Kent to reduce drive alone
travel and traffic congestion in south King County. A key strategy is to develop partnerships with
embedded organizations in the communities we are serving to facilitate more effective outreach
and improve long-term program outcomes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City will need to provide $40,000 in match funding for the grant (20% of the $200,000
program budget); this will be provided through the City's TDM Allocation (formerly called the
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Allocation). There will be no impact to the general fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to accept the WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant Program Award in
the amount of $160,000 and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the June 3, 2019,
Regular Meeting.

1. Using the TSMO Planninei and Implementation Website, identify/define which TSMO solutions are being
proposed for your project.
The following TSMO solutions may be used for the project:
• Alternative work hours
• Community -based social marketing
• Commute trip reduction (CTR) programs
• Emergency Ride Home programs
• Employee incentives
• Mode choice
• Non -motorized facilities and improvements
• Ridesharing improvements
• Route choice
• Telecommuting
2. What is the proposed scope of work for this project?
The project will focus on providing TDM services at selected activity centers (e.g. business parks, commercial and
residential multi -tenant buildings, educational institutions) and/or congested corridors within Tukwila and will
provide assistance and resources in the partnering jurisdictions of Renton, SeaTac, and Kent to reduce drive alone
travel and traffic congestion in south King County. The project will help increase transportation options at sites that
have not received Commute Trip Reduction program support, such as smaller employers, who also may not have
adequate resources to subsidize alternative transportation programs. A key strategy will include the development
of partnerships with embedded organizations in the communities we are serving to facilitate more effective
outreach and improve long-term program outcomes. The program will integrate innovative transportation demand
management technologies and solutions as feasible. The project may include non -motorized facilities and
improvements, depending on the infrastructure needs of sites.

3b. Is the need for the project and/or the project itself identified in any local or regional plans? If so, please
list the plans and describe coordination efforts.
The City of Tukwila Commute Trip Reduction Plan, Comprehensive Plan, GTEC Plan, and Walk & Roll Plan all
propose TDM strategies to help reduce congestion on regional roadways. TDM policies outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan include: 13.5.3 Work with King County Metro and Sound Transit to provide amenities for
transit riders, encourage transit use, and enhance multi -modal connections to transit. 13.5.4 Establish mode -split
goals for all significant employment centers which will vary according to development densities, access to
transportation service, and levels of congestion. 13.5.5 Continue to encourage the use of rideshare, transit,
bicycle, and evolving technological transportation improvements. 13.5.6 Encourage transit -oriented uses,
development patterns and pedestrian amenities in the vicinity of high -capacity transit stations.
4. If your project is in a county with a population of 700,000 or more that borders Puget Sound, please
describe the coordination used to develop the project and the level of integration represented
by the project. If this does not apply to your project, please leave this section blank.
The TDM Program has worked closely with various local and regional partners to implement current and past
grant -funded TDM projects in Tukwila as well as the cities of Kent, Renton, SeaTac, Federal Way, and Burien, and
will we continue to coordinate our efforts with regional partners.
TDM Program staff are members of the Puget Sound Regional Council's TDM Advisory Committee, which
provides a regular opportunity for regional TDM stakeholders including implementers and mobility agencies to
share information and coordinate efforts.
Tukwila TDM Program staff frequently contact or are contacted by other agencies' TDM programs to discuss
emerging technology (e.g. trip logging apps, dockless bikeshare, shuttle services, etc.) to assess regional direction
and opportunities for collaboration.
5. Describe the congestion, inefficiencies, and/or capacity constraints this project will address. Relate the
proposed project to one of the following four indicators of transportation system performance: WSDOT
identified congested corridors; locally identified corridors with level of service D, E, or F; evaluation of
transit capacity and market potential; or evaluation of first/last mile connections (including existing park
and ride capacities).
Many regional WSDOT-identified congested corridors fall within our project area. The following corridors are at or
above 50% congested: 504, 382, 384, 389, 148. Additionally, the Tukwila and Kent Park and Rides had an
occupancy rate of 100% and the Park and Ride in Renton was at 95% occupancy in 2016. Additionally, the
SeaTac to Seattle morning commute "has the highest maximum throughput travel time index (MT3I) of the twelve
I-5 commutes that WSDOT tracks in the central Puget Sound region." (source: 2017 WSDOT Corridor Capacity
Report) As a result, south King County park and ride facilities and transit hubs are difficult for many who live and
work in Tukwila and south King County to access.
DOT Form 510-032 Page 3
05/2018

6. Describe the barriers to connectivity between counties and regional population centers this project will
address. Describe deficiencies in modal connections, services, or public transportation capacity in the
project area.
Much of south King County is characterized by historically auto -oriented development, and many barriers to
connectivity exist, including hills, freeways, rivers and streams, as well as a fragmented system of sidewalks and
limited available parking at transit stations and park and ride lots. The transit hubs in Tukwila and south King
County provide connections to Seattle and other regional employment centers, and the demand for parking at
transit hubs is high, demonstrating the need for improved first/last mile connections. Regional manufacturing and
industrial areas have limited transit service and most transit service does not run late enough to accommodate
workers with night shifts.
7. How does this proposal address the transportation performance gap(s) identified in questions 5 and 6?
• The program will encourage and facilitate use of alternative modes of travel (such as transit, active
transportation, and ridesharing) for work and non -work trips, including innovative solutions for first/last mile
connectivity. This will allow more people to access new and emerging transportation options to help mitigate
regional congestion.
• This program will also help increase awareness and use of King County Metro's new Community Connections
services, currently in development in Tukwila to address first/last mile connectivity and in Kent to improve second
and third -shift transportation access for workers in the industrial valley.
• This program will improve access to park and ride facilities and other transportation hubs by providing
transportation resources and rewards to residents/employees and promoting innovative transportation solutions.

9b. Please identify the specific source(s) and the status of matching funds for the proposed project. If the
matching funds are not yet secured, please describe measures being taken to mitigate the risk of having
insufficient funds to implement the proposed project.
Matching funds ($40,000) are from WSDOT TDM Allocation, which is a non-competitive State fund. This allocation is
secured through 2023.
9c. Describe how and with what funds the project or service will be maintained after the funding expires.
This project is designed to help facilitate behavior change and is expected to continue to show long-term impact after
the program concludes. The program will strive to establish sustainable low- to no -cost initiatives that partnering
agencies/organizations/employers can continue administering if additional funding is not available to continue
subsidizing and incentivizing alternative transportation options. There will be no capital improvements or services to
maintain; if non -motorized facilities or improvements are included, their maintenance will be provided by the property
owner. The Tukwila TDM Program will seek funding to continue successful projects. The City of Tukwila's TDM
Allocation is secured through 2023, which will facilitate ongoing outreach and support.

10. Describe your organization's experience implementing similar types of projects.
The Tukwila TDM Program has administered various state and federal TDM grants within Tukwila and has expanded
to provide regional TDM services within partnering south King County cities starting in 2016 with the Regional CMAQ
Program, a partnership with the cities of Renton, Kent, SeaTac, Federal Way, and Burien. The program implements
a wide variety of demand management strategies including in person and one-on-one outreach, transportation
options trainings, employer Commute Trip Reduction assistance, online trip -logging incentive program management
through RideshareOnline.com and SKCTrips.com, and event tabling. Staff are currently implementing a south King
County regional CMAQ grant as well as a Commute Trip Innovation Grant (CTIG) to reduce employee trips to
Sea-Tac Airport and are promoting the Just One Trip program throughout six south King County jurisdictions in
partnership with King County Metro. This program will seek to be innovative, incorporating new technologies as
appropriate, while replicating successful strategies from other projects. For example, the CTIG grant at the Sea-Tac
Airport has demonstrated the impact of removing a barrier such as trip -logging to earn rewards.

12b. Describe the methodology and assumptions used to derive these estimates. Attach supporting
calculations in an Excel file format to allow WSDOT staff to view the equations, formulae, and calculations
used to develop your reduction estimates. For examples of standard methodology, click here.
The calculations are based on the assumption that our program will reach approximately 3% of the total residential
and employee population in Tukwila (1,800 participants out of 60,000 residents/employees). Partnering jurisdictions'
populations were not included in the calculations as these jurisdictions will receive general outreach or program
replication on a less targeted and extensive scale. The calculations assume that participants (3% of the targeted
population) will reduce an average of 10% of their trips over the course of the project period.
The current drive alone mode split percentage was taken from the 2017 ACS Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue MSA
Commute Mode Share - Auto: Raw Value. The current carpooling mode split was taken from adding all other modes
on the ACS mode share survey to find the remaining proportion, which likely primarily represents carpool and
vanpool/vanshare users.
Calculations and notes describing additional weighting and assumptions are included in the attached spreadsheet.
12c. Successful applicants must measure the performance of their project, along with its VT and VMT
reductions, each year for four years after the project is operationally complete. What methods or
strategies will you use to do this?
The Tukwila TDM Program will administer a simple transportation survey or a direct measurement method of
program participants as feasible to measure their VMT/VT and mode -split each year through 2025. ORCA card serial
number tracking of card use as feasible.

Additional response to 3b:
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Section of the Comprehensive Plan (Element 13 in Chapter 13,
adopted in 2013) identifies policies to support TDM implementation. TDM policies outlined in the element are called
out with the purpose to improve mobility and increase efficiency of the transportation system by reducing drive alone
trips and vehicle -miles traveled. The policies are designed to manage congestion, reduce the need to expand the
transportation facilities, and lessens the environmental and neighborhood impacts of vehicle trips.
The Tukwila GTEC Plan (2007) identified six -year mode -split targets for the City's Urban Center: 65.7% drive -alone
trips and 34.3% non -drive -alone trips. Within the Urban Center, the City also developed a targeted Vehicle Miles
Travelled (VMT) rate of 13.05.
