INTRODUCTION
In 1993, the City of Bainbridge. Island adopted the Commute Trip Reduction ordinance(BIMC
Ord -93-09). The purpose of this ordinance was to comply with -tine Commute Trip Reduction Act,
RCw 70.94.521, adopted. by the Washington State Legislature in 1991. This law requires
employers of loo or more employees who arrive between 6 and 9 a.m. to develop and implement a
program to encourage their employees to reduce vehicle miles traveled and single occupant
vehicle trips.
In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passu the Commute Trip.Redulctlon Efficiency Act
which amended the requirements for local governments in those counties experiencing the
greatest automobile -related air pollution and traffic congestion to develop and implement plans to
reduce single -occupant vehicle trips. This plan Inas been prepared in accordance with these
revisions to > cW 70.94.521$
The Commute Trip Reduction Plan is a collection of City -adopted goals and policies, facility and
service improvements and marketing strategies about how the City will help make progress for
reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled over the next four years. Building upon the
success of the existing commute trip reduction program, the city strives to meet the goals of the
plan for the future by working in partnership and coordination with other agencies and employers,
This proposed Plan has been developed through extensive involvement by employers, transit
agency, organizations and individuals from throughout the City who helped identify strategies and
ways for successful achievement of the goals. This plan helps to support the achievement of the
City's vision and the goals of its comprehensive plan
Benefits of the CTR Program to Bainbridge Island
Although the Commute Trip Reduction Program only applies to a few sites in Bainbridge Island, the
CTR program will continue to grow and address a variety of transportation and environmental
issues. Several trends are increasing the value of CTR on Bainbridge Island, particularly as an
alternative to expanding roads and parking facilities. Those treads include:
Rising h9cifity costs. The cost of expanding highways and parking g facilities is increasing. In
many cases it is more cost effective to manage demand than to continue expanding
supply. If the CTR program is successful, it will help reduce the dernand on stater regional
and local streets. This in turn helps to reduce the need to expand the roadway system.
Demographics. As the population becomes older and more mature, it will become more
important to increase the availability of quality travel options for non -drivers. Senior
citizens will be more dependent on transit and non -motorized travel options.
Energy Costs. Vehicle fusel costs have recently risen dramatically and are projected to
increase in the future due to depletion of oil supplies and environmental constraints.
Rising costs have increased the demand for non -drive alone travel alternatives. The

vanpo l market, et, iin particular, has exceeded demand and there are currenVy waiting lists
for available van pool s,
Consumer preferences and market treads. CTR i addressi n current. consumer
preferences- in which more in'su�mers rant t lire inn more multi -medal communities where
it is possible td walk and bicycle safely, use neighborhood services, and have access t
quality public transportation.
EnvIronmental concerns. CTR helps to address concerns over air pollution, spra rl and
other environmental impacts by reducing the demand for automobiles, Automobiles
omprise % fair pollutants. For each car that is tater off the road, thea is a
significant benefit to the environment.
In summary, the GTR- proray is a cost-effective program that addresses a number of issues on
Bainbridge Island. Although CTR has been applied to only a few work sites, the program will
continue to grow and expand as solutions are needed to complex transportation and environmental
issues.

The City contains the following comprehensive plain policies Which support CTR. Key policies that
support CT include the City's goals to develop secondary urban centers, called Neighborhood
Service Centers, to direct residential and co r rcial growth to the Winslow Planning Area and
promote transit use and hon -motorized transportation. Those urban areas include Winslow,
Lynwood Center, island Center, and Rolling Bay. The City is also planning to make numerous
pedestrian improvements that will encourage more non -motorized transportation. These include
enhancements to pedestrian safety, adding sidewalks and trails that allow better connections
across torn for pedestrians, and employing design standards that encourage pedestrian uses. In
addition, the City is supportive of passenger only ferry service to Seattle and ensuring that burs
service is linked to the ferry schedule.
The City has also made a financial commitment to many non -motorized capital improvements such
as alcguiri
large number of riders commute from Seattle to Bremerton using the Washington State
Ferries, To assist ferry commuters, the Cross Sound pass program enables ferry
commuters to use Kitsap Transit services under one. pass,

WORKSHOP SUMMARY
i itsep Countywide CTR Employer Workshop Summar
January 18, 2407
Usap Conference Center
What are the benefits of the CTR program for your organization
• Gets cars off the road
• Guaranteed ride home
Helps reduce tardiness and absenteeism
• Get to know your colleagues better
a Helpsimage of the organization, this is seen as a perk, new employees este about the
system before they even start
• Helps establish a set work pattern, people get to work and leave work at set times.
Happier employees
• closer parking ing for employees if they carpool
Reduced parking costs
What are th primary ways people get to work other than driving alone at your organization?
a Carpooling and vanpooling
What are the barriers of the CTR ro ra r, as perceived by your rganization
Makes it more difficult to have flexible schedules, work late, etc,..
•
Some people loge the freedom to drive and run errands before, during, and after work
Doesn't allow you to run home in an emergency with the kids, etc..
Difficult to do when you have family obligations
No perceived need when there is a lot of parking and little traffic, so difficult to implement
especially without subsidies,
Bus service is limited or non-existent to many CTR employers, sometimes the span of
service is not sufficient either. A lot of military and manufacturing jobs require employees
to punch in by 6:30 a.
•
Lack of management support
Is there management support for CTR?
Some employers have allowed people to change shifts or work hours slightly to
accommodate carpooling, etc... - except when it is a production worker(LM)
• General support, as long as you can meet your mission and goads, but not specific support
(EJB)
• Some employers have a lot of support Keyport
What are some other Incentives that ETes think would help promote CTR in their
organizations?
• offer at least a o subsidy to cover bus pass cost to everyone who finds alternative
transportation (carpool, vanpool, biker, etc)
• Government could require contractors to participate in CTR and provide a subsidy
Limit parking, have preferential parking for carpoolers or high ranking
officers/management.
Coordinate with other nearby CTR ernploy rs on carpool arrangements and vanpools!
Offer a free trial run participating in the vanpool program.
Things that do work:
New employees get handouts about'.the program
Develop a company specific brochure
Bulletin board materials
Wheel options program twice a year.
Ernails
CTR committee to market and educate employees
What can Kitsap Transit or the City do to help?
Add more bus service
Coordinate guaranteed ride home service with other counties, some people live in Plerce
Co or ling Co and guaranteed ride horse services stop at county line.
More subsidies and incentives
More focused action plan on how to achieve goals
Bus stop at Keyport
More information on how to make a worker' -driver bus situation work, where would you
park bus, etc... Don't avant to have river commute to Bremerton every day to get the, bus.
• Develop a network email list so ETGs know how to contact each other. if this exists,
circulate it more often.
Need a motivator to get people to respond to the surveys — drawing, lunch, etc..
Coordinate with other work sites on developing ridernatching lists
Provide better sidewalk
Develop a program for teleworl
What tools would ETCS tired helpful'
a Coordination with other companies

Sidewalks or pedestrian facilities should be located along all both sides of all

should be provided along principal arterials (generally a minimum of 8'), or in

Direct pedestrian linkages should be considered whenever possible, to connect
