Approval of the 2026-27 Go Redmond King County Metro Contract Renewal
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond and King County Metro have successfully partnered since 1999 in a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, implemented under the label “Go Redmond.”??Go Redmond?program services fall into four categories:?Employer TDM; Residential TDM; Equitable TDM; and TDM Pilot Programs.?
Some areas of focus for the 2026-2027 contract include: expanding our residential TDM focus with?neighborhood-based outreach;?multifamily ORCA pass programs, promoting & distributing free youth & reduced fare senior and low-income ORCA cards; and?connecting and educating Redmond residents on how to get to light rail via micromobility options. Under the Employer TDM category, Go Redmond programming will continue to help businesses meet?required?goals for the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law and Mobility Management Program (MMP) requirements while also focusing on those with fewer than 100 employees, a segment that has historically not been addressed. As part of the TDM Pilot programs Go Redmond?will continue to explore new ways to collaborate on interventions?concerning?shared parking opportunities?and first/last mile solutions.?
To continue the work,?King County Metro?has agreed to?contribute $176,500 of funding?and the?City?will provide a match to total $353,000.??This contract?allows?Go Redmond to continue offering coordinated?TDM?products and services through December 31, 2027.?
