Tell us about your commute!
How do you get to work? Bike, bus, carpool, walk or drive? Let us know by taking a few minutes to complete our brief survey. Your feedback helps inform SRTC’s Commute Trip Reduction Plan, as well as strategies and investments throughout the region.
Commute Trip Reduction
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) is a statewide initiative to address growing concerns surrounding air pollution, gas consumption, and traffic congestion. A major part of this program is aimed at decreasing the number of drive alone trips by encouraging commuters to use other transportation methods such as riding the bus/transit, carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, walking and working from home/teleworking when possible.
Every four years, SRTC works with our region’s plan implementer, CommuteSmart Northwest (Spokane County) and participating member agencies to update the region’s CTR Plan. Participating local agencies also adopt CTR Plans for their respective cities. This process is currently underway in 2024. Once the new plan is approved by the state TDM Technical Committee and adopted by the SRTC Board, it will take effect on July 1, 2025 and run through June 30, 2029.
