What is Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)?

Employers with more than 100 employees may be affected by the Washington State Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law and may be required to provide a transportation program for their employees. We offer fee-for-service to create and manage these programs and can even serve as a company's Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC).

Why Employee Commutes Matter

Employee commutes influence retention, productivity, and workplace satisfaction. When getting to work is easier and more reliable, employees are more engaged and organizations can improve access to talent while reducing parking demand. Transportation programs can help employers support their workforce, advance sustainability goals, and strengthen long-term business performance.
