Transportation Demand Management Grants
Commute trip reduction grants are for local jurisdictions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and keep the busiest commute routes flowing. Local jurisdictions work with employers, who develop and manage their own programs based on locally adopted goals.
This grant is supported by state funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA) (34.8 percent). The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.
This grant is also supported by funding from the Multimodal Account (65.2 percent).
These programs help more commuters ride transit, carpool, vanpool, walk, bicycle and telework. The grants support more than 1,000 worksites and more than 500,000 workers statewide. These workers left about 22,000 cars at home every weekday and outperformed the state and national averages for options other than driving alone. Eligible jurisdictions and the funding formula were determined by the state's Transportation Demand Management Technical Committee (also known as the Commute Trip Reduction Board) in consultation with other stakeholders.
