Amendment to 2023-24 Go Redmond King County Metro Contract
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond and King County Metro have successfully partnered since 1999 in a robust Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, implemented under the label “Go Redmond.” Go Redmond program services are categorized into four categories: Employer TDM, Residential TDM, Equitable TDM, and TDM Pilot Programs. Go Redmond programming helps businesses meet required goals for the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law and Mobility Management Programs (MMP), reducing energy consumption, air pollution, and traffic congestion.
To continue the work through 2025, King County Metro has agreed to extend the remaining $247,500 of funding and the City provides a funding match of $357,500. This contract allows Go Redmond to continue offering coordinated TDM products and services through December 31, 2025.

Time Constraints:
Existing contract is expired. Metro has agreed to allow us to date the agreement for January 1, 2025.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
If the proposed Interlocal agreement is not approved, we would not receive $247,500 in funding from King County Metro for Go Redmond programming. Staff would have to adjust community expectations at a lower level of program service. Go Redmond programming would have to limit residential and employer incentivizing initiatives and not expand partnerships, such as pilot first/last mile solutions for Redmond community members.
