Seattle, Washington, Commute Trip Reduction Program Amendments Take Effect

Implementation Date: June 13, 2025

Effective June 13, 2025, the Seattle Commute Trip Reduction Program is amended to include in the definition of affected employee those who "telework" full-time, part-time or occasionally, unless they:

  • Live more than 150 miles from the employer's worksite;
  • Go to that worksite once per year or less; and
  • Work from home or a site near home.

The amendments also add two strategies that a covered employer may implement to decrease single commuter vehicles under "Category B", and change certain requirements for the existing parking charges strategy under "Category C".
