Transportation Demand Management Grants

Commute trip reduction grants support jurisdictions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and keeping the state's busiest commute routes moving efficiently. Local jurisdictions partner with employers, who develop and manage their own commute programs based on locally adopted goals.

This state funded grant is supported in part by 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 over 500,000 workers statewide. As a result, participating workers leave approximately 22,000 cars at home every weekday and outperform state and national averages for commuting 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.
