In 1991, the State of Washington adopted its Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law. The law is focused on reducing traffic congestion and air pollution by shifting drive-alone commutes to other modes. Today, more than 1,000 worksites take part in the CTR program statewide. The program is well known nationally as an example of impactful Transportation Demand Management (TDM).
