SUBJECT: FHWA CMAQ Grant Award - South King County TDM
ISSUE
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program is asking for approval to accept a
Federal Highway Administration Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ)
Program award. The City has been awarded $450,000 by Puget Sound Regional Council
(PSRC) for 2023 to 2024.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila's TDM Program provides transportation outreach, education, and resources to
improve air quality, reduce congestion, and help people get around Tukwila and south King
County. The Program started with the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Program, working with
large employers in Tukwila to reduce employee trips to worksites. Since 2013, the City of
Tukwila has implemented TDM projects that expand upon the CTR program funded by state
and federal grants. The Program has evolved to a regional "all trips" focus, in recognition that
most trips are non -commute trips, and provides TDM services to employers, workers,
residents, and visitors.
DISCUSSION
In 2020, staff successfully applied during PSRC's project selection process for a 2 -year "South
King County TDM" 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. The project is to be implemented January 1,
2023, through December 31, 2024. The Program will conduct outreach at activity centers such
as community hubs, commercial areas, multifamily housing complexes, and educational
institutions.

The PSRC Executive Board voted in October to award federal funds to priority projects that will improve
local and regional mobility. Final approval by the Governor and federal funding agencies is expected in
early 2021.
The projects are part of a $ 4.3 billion Regional Transportation Improvement Program for 2021-2024.
This program includes transit expansion and maintenance projects, state highway improvements,
bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and investments in city and county roads.
Your project(s) performed well in PSRC's merit -based project selection process, which identifies priority
projects that will improve local and regional mobility and help achieve our long-range Regional
Transportation Plan. Kudos to you and your staff for securing this funding.
I also wanted to acknowledge the difficult times we're all living through and thank you and your team for
continuing to provide essential services to your community and keep everyone safe during this public
health emergency. I look forward to continuing to partner with you on efforts to help the region recover
and thrive for the long term.
Sincerely,
Executive Director, Puget Sound Regional Council
