Key TDM-Related Issues

• Develop consistent metrics to measure effectiveness and efficiency of TDM.
• Explore strengthening or expanding the CTR Law to address more trips/trip types.
• Evaluate equity and TDM programs.
• Ensure TDM is addressed in and coordinated with local comprehensive plans.
Code Basis for Coordination (TDM RCWs)
• RCW 70A.15.4020: TDM – Requirements for counties and cities• Section 5: CTR plans adopted by counties, cities and towns shall be
consistent with and may be incorporated in applicable state or regional transportation plans and local comprehensive plans
• RCW 70A.15.4030: TDM – Growth and transportation efficiency centers (GTECs)
• Authorizes a county, city, or town, as part of its CTR plan, to designate existing activity centers listed in its comprehensive plan or new activity centers as growth and transportation efficiency centers and establish a TDM program in the designated area. GTEC designations must be consistent with land use and transportation elements of local comprehensive plans.

• Are there challenges to implementing local jurisdiction TDM policies found in comprehensive plans? 6
