Abstract:
Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction program has built a foundation of partnerships for managing transportation demand, has improved transportation system performance, and has benefited the economy, the environment, and communities by reducing air pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions, and fuel consumption. This article presents key lessons learned from this program and concludes with an outline of research needs and comments on the program's method of leveraging resources by fostering partnerships that link economic development and transportation efficiency.
