Council adopts updated commute trip reduction plan required under state Clean Air Act
Summary
Seattle’s City Council unanimously passed Council Bill 120984 to adopt an updated 2025–2029 Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan to comply with the Washington state Clean Air Act and maintain eligibility for state CTR funding.
Seattle’s City Council unanimously approved updates to the city’s Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan, adopting Council Bill 120984 to cover 2025–2029 and preserve state funding eligibility.
Council member Hollingsworth, vice chair of the Transportation Committee, told the council the plan update is required under the state’s Clean Air Act of 1991 and must be passed and signed by the city by the state deadline to remain eligible for future CTR funds.
The nut graf: The CTR plan requires large employers to work with the Seattle Department of Transportation to reduce single-occupant vehicle trips; the council said passing the update preserves state compliance and funding. Hollingsworth said the legislation passed out of committee unanimously and the committee chair recommended a yes vote.
During the session no amendments were introduced and the bill passed on a 7-0 roll call.
The council’s remarks emphasized coordination with employers and the city transportation department; no follow-up motions or additional direction were recorded on the floor.
