Commute Trip Reduction
The State Commute Trip Reduction Law affects worksites with 100 or more full-time employees who begin their shift between 6 and 9 a.m. on weekdays in the nine most populous counties in the state. Worksites develop and manage their own programs based on:
- Transportation demand management strategies identified as having the greatest effect for their employees.
- Locally adopted goals for reducing vehicle trips and miles traveled.
Worksites conduct commute trip reduction surveys every other year to measure vehicle miles traveled and the mode choices of their employees. WSDOT and jurisdictions use these survey results to report on collective progress toward drive-alone and vehicle miles traveled reduction targets.
Employer Transportation Coordinators (ETCs) and large employers play a critical role in reducing drive-alone trips and promoting transit, biking, walking, carpooling, vanpooling or being a foot passenger on the ferry. Kitsap Transit offers trainings and resources to employers starting a CTR program or looking to improve an existing program. Want to get started? Explore the resources on this site or contact us.

About the CTR Law |

Employers subject to Washington State’s Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law must develop and implement a CTR program. The goal of a CTR program is to encourage employees to find alternatives to driving themselves alone to work. Your program will be designed and run by you, and will reflect your industry, region, and organizational culture. |
The Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law in 1991, calling on employers to help reduce carbon emissions and ease traffic on the busiest commute routes by encouraging their workers to drive alone less often. Kitsap County and the cities within nominated Kitsap Transit to oversee and administer the program. |
