STATEMENT OF WORK:
Development and Implementation of
Commute Trip Reduction Plans and Programs
BACKGROUND: The 1991 Session of the Washington State Legislature found that
automobile traffic in Washington's metropolitan areas is the major source ~f
emissions of air contaminants and that increasing automobile traffic is
aggravating traffic congestion. Further, the Legislature found that
increasing automobile traffic is a major factor in increasing consumption of
gasoline. Reducing the number of commute trips to work via single-occupant
vehicles is an effective way of reducing vehicle-related air pollution,
traffic congestion and energy use.
To address these problems, the Commute Trip Reduction (eTR) Act was enacted
by the 1991 Legislature and signed by the Governor. This Act requires
cities and counties containing "major employers· in the eight counties
(Clark, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Thurston, and Yakima)
experiencing the greatest vehicle-related air pollution, gasoline
consumption and congestion problems to develop plans and programs to reduce
single-occupant vehicle commute trips.
These counties and cities are to establish and implement commute trip
reduction plans for all major employers within their jurisdiction. The
commute trip reduction plans are to be developed in cooperation with local
transit agencies, regional transportation planning organizations, and major
employers. They are to be consistent with and can be incorporated in State
or regional transportation plans and local comprehensive plans.
Additionally, the trip reduction plans are to be consistent with the
guidelines established by the State's Commute Trip Reduction Task Force.
The Commute Trip Reduction program will be developed in phases. Phase I
(July 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993), the period of this agreement, covers the
initial period of local plan implementation. During Phase I, cities and
counties will pass ordinances, program staff will identify and make contacts
with major employers, and staff will establish commute trip reduction zones
and generate zone base year values and progress year goals. A separate
Phase II contract will be negotiated after the third quarter of State Fiscal
Year 1993 when the available funds are confirmed by the Legislature. Phase
II (July 1~ 1993 to June 30, 1995) will involve ongoing program
administration, including, but not limited to: employer initial program
descriptions (1993), employer annual reports (1994, 1995), and employee
survey results, where and when available. I'

METHODOLOGY FOR ALLOeATING CTR GRANT FUNDS
The Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Act states that the Washington State Energy
Office (WSEO) shall distribute the CTR Grant Funds to the eight counties
covered by the Act "in proportion to the number of major employers and major
worksites in each county;" and the statute requires the counties to distribute
the funds to cities "in proportion to the number of major employers and major
worksites within the city."
.
A "major employer," as defined by the Act, is a publ ic or private employer
that employs one hundred or more full-time employees at a single worksite who
begin their regular work day between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on weekdays for
at least twelve continuous months during the year. "Major worksite," as
defined by the Act means a building or a group of buildings that are on
physically contiguous parcels of land or on parcels separate solely by private
or public roadways or rights-of-way, and at which there are one hundred or
more full-time employees of one or more employers, who begin their work day
between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on weekdays for at least twelve continuous
months.
A complicating factor in agreeing upon a methodology for distributing the CTR
Grant Funds within King County has been the lack of reliable data on the
geographic distribution of "major employers and major worksites." The best
data available at the time of this Agreement is the Washington State
Employment Security Department's estimated count of employers with employment
sites of over 100 full-time employees, by jurisdiction, showing a total of
1,278 such employment sites in King County. The WSEO used this database in
distributing the CTR Grant Funds among the eight counties.
The methodology for allocating the CTR Grant Funds in King County is a
proportional distribution, based on Employment Security's estimate of the
distribution of potential major employers within King eounty, with the
following adjustments:
o An "off-the-top" allocation of $134,000 for three countywide start-up
functions to be provided by Metro on behalf of all jurisdictions, as
reflected in Exhibit A, Statement of Work;
o No allocations to small cities on the Employment Security list where it
has been determined that no employers meet the statutory definition of
"major employer." Carnation;'·Snoqualmie, and North Bend are in this
category; and
o The addition of the City of Sea-Tac, assuming tha~' five of the major
employers that would otherwise be assigned to the unincorporated area
are located in Sea-Tac, based on information from the SeaTac Planning
Department.
