Approval of the 2023-24 Go Redmond King County Metro Contract Renewal
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond and King County Metro has 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 Transportation Management Programs (TMP), reducing energy consumption, air pollution, and traffic congestion.
In anticipation of light-rail openings, some areas of focus for 2023-2024 include expanded education, and employer grants to Redmond employers; restarting our residential TDM focus with complete neighborhoods, and multifamily ORCA programs; getting Redmond light rail ready; and Hopelink continuing to implement Equitable TDM programming. Go Redmond will also explore new ways to collaborate on pilot interventions concerning shared parking opportunities and first/last mile solutions.
To continue the work, King County Metro has agreed to contribute $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, 2024.
