Regional Mobility Grant 2015-2019 | Results – By The Numbers 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the King County region and transportation network changes and grows, helping people find alternatives to driving alone, creating space for other travelers, and reducing carbon emissions is crucial. With funding from Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Regional Mobility Grant (RMG), King County Metro launched the Just One Trip (JOT) program to address those considerations. The program launched in 2015 as a regional, multi-year, large-scale Transportation Demand Management (TDM) effort in King County. Specifically, the program focused on multi-modal trip-reduction strategies to improve system performance during critical phases of road and transit construction. The target area encompassed all of King County, with a focus on households near the I-405, I-90, SR-520, SR-522, SR-99 travel sheds, and the Alaskan Way Viaduct (AWV). King County Metro designed the program to encourage long-lasting behavior change and reduce drive-alone trips by educating the public about the expansive set of transportation options available in King County. This included providing information on projects from King County Metro, Sound Transit and WSDOT, in addition to multiple resources and mode options like the Link Light Rail, vanpools, carpools, non-motorized modes, and teleworking. With the grant’s ambitious performance goals, King County Metro knew strong regional partnerships would be needed; in addition to local jurisdictions, community partners and other stakeholders, King County Metro collaborated with the Alaskan Way Viaduct Traffic Mitigation project team during the phases of construction of the SR 99 tunnel and deconstruction of the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Overall, the collective group of partners coordinated their activities and messaging with other King County Metro programs to establish wide-spread awareness of Just One Trip, establish the website as a resource, and encourage the public to use the provided resources to learn about (and try) sustainable travel options. Since WSDOT’s funding stretched across four years, the project team chose to implement the program in two phases. Overall, during the four years of programming, the project team adopted a regional approach, focused on reducing trips across King County regardless of time or purpose. In both phases, program participants were asked to commit to reduce at least one drive-alone trip per week and complete a pre- and post-survey. Once enrolled, participants earned an incentive of their choice and received a personalized trip planning offer and other educational materials based on mode. Phase I (2015-2017) worked to raise awareness and extend the program’s reach by building a network of participants through partnerships with local jurisdictions along the targeted corridors. Phase II (2017-2019) built on this goal, with an added focus on behavior change. In both Phase I and Phase II, change was successfully accomplished through collaborative and regional partnerships with local jurisdictions and community-based organizations, 14 complementary projects and programs, and transcreated program materials in Spanish, which increased the visibility and accessibility of King County Metro’s robust set of transportation services. Overall, from 2015-2019, both phases engaged thousands of residents, employees, and students, and successfully reduced over 1.6 million annualized drive-alone trips. The following report summarizes the results and tactics from this four-year effort, as well as the robust set of local partnerships and TDM programs funded by WSDOT’s Regional Mobility Grant that also contributed to 35,000 participants and the reduction of 1.6 million annualized drive-alone trips in the region. The full-length partner program reports are not included in this summarized report. If desired, an electronic copy with the full-length reports can be made available upon request.

Outreach tactics and program messaging varied based on location and focused on employers, residents, and/or students that were interested in changing their travel behavior, or were impacted by transportation changes or construction projects happening in the region. The performance data presented below does not include trip reduction measures from vanpool trips or Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) effected employers. It is based solely on the results from surveys conducted through programs and campaigns from 2015-2019. Other data sources will be considered for future grant performance reports. Community In Motion King County | 2015 – 2016 The regional TDM program Community In Motion (CIM) focused on reducing all trips regardless of time or trip purpose.

The incentive to convert the TransAlta plant to a natural gas-fired plant is a giant step backwards for our state and for confronting climate change. It was a hard-fought consensus agreement in 2011 between TransAlta, environmental and labor groups, the state Legislature, and former Governor Christine Gregoire that developed an agreement to close the plant and invest $55 million in the community to support education and retraining, efficiency, and economic development. King County strongly supports a just transition for the existing coal plant workers to new job opportunities, an important part of the existing agreement. Confronting climate change and accelerating a transition to a clean energy economy with family wage jobs is a top priority for King County. Through the Growth Management Planning Council, 39 cities and King County have established shared, formal targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050.
