BACKGROUND The City's CTR Program is mandated by the state and operational since 1991. There are 16 CTR- affected worksites in Tukwila (including the City of Tukwila). Employers are required to complete biennial Program Reports and Employee Surveys to track progress toward goals. The TDM Program provides many services to assist employers with implementation of TDM Programs including consultation, training for Employee Transportation Coordinators, and employee outreach support. DISCUSSION WSDOT has provided a biennial allocation for the City's TDM Program since 1993. Funding had been flat at $74,204 for many years but as a result of the Move Ahead Washington transportation package passed in 2022, the funding formula was updated and the amount increased to $93,300. The work plan will include updating the City's CTR Plan, which was last updated for 2015-2019. FINANCIAL IMPACT There will be no impact to the general fund. The allocation provides a consistent source of funding for the TDM Program, which is leveraged by concurrent TDM grants. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to accept the $93,300 award from WSDOT and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the October 2, 2023, Regular Meeting.
