The Executive Board approved the Regional Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan.
The Regional CTR plan is based on the requirements established by the Washington State CTR Efficiency Act, which provides for concentrated CTR efforts in areas of high density and traffic volumes. PSRC worked with jurisdictions to assist in the development the requisite local CTR plans.
