Survey results

What the survey measures

Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) and Transportation Management Plan (TMP) programs measure progress by Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) rate and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT).

Companies affected by the CTR law can meet their trip reduction goals with either SOV or VMT reductions. TMP goals vary. Please check your TMP document or contact your jurisdiction for more details.

Goals

Each jurisdiction sets CTR goals for companies located within the city boundaries. Companies must make progress towards goal at every biennial survey.

What happens if a company does not meet goal or make progress?

Companies that do not meet their SOV or VMT goals and fail to make progress toward the goal (in other words, the survey shows an increase in both SOV and VMT compared to previous survey) must improve their CTR program with elements that are likely to reduce SOV trip or VMT. King County Metro Commute Trip Reduction Services will work collaboratively with companies that fail to make progress to identify program enhancements that will likely lead to reducted SOV or VMT in the next survey.
