ISSUE

History and summary of the current TDM Program in Tukwila:
• The program name has changed from CTR Program to TDM Program in accordance with
WSDOT change in nomenclature.
• The City's TDM Program is mandated by state and operational since 1991.

Local CTR Plan and Growth Transportation Efficiency Center (GTEC) Plan.
• 16 affected Tukwila employers (including the City of Tukwila) provided TDM programs for
their employees in the 2017/2019 survey cycle.
• Employers are required to complete alternating biennial Program Reports and Employee
Surveys to track progress toward goals.
• The City's TDM Program has no impact on the general fund, consistent since its origin.
The City provides services to assist employers with implementation of TDM Programs, including
the following:
• Consultation, technical assistance, and connections to transportation resources offered to all
employers in Tukwila, including access to statewide promotions such as Wheel Options and
other monthly incentive programs such as Bike Everywhere Month administered through
RideshareOnline.com.
• Training for Employee Transportation Coordinators to complete Program Reports and
administer Employee Surveys.
• Presentation, transportation options training, or resource table at company events, meetings
or new hire orientations.
The City of Tukwila works closely with local agencies such as King County, local jurisdictions,
WSDOT, the Puget Sound Regional Council, and others to coordinate, implement, and promote
TDM activities and provide policy direction. The TDM Program is currently implementing a
WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant through June 2021.
