Employee and Building Transportation Coordinators, get ready! It’s time to fill out your 2025 Program Report.
Program Report Requirement
What is the Program Report?
Every other year, Employee and Building Transportation Coordinators must complete a Program Report as part of the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law and Transportation Management Program (TMP) requirement.
To complete your report, you’ll answer a series of questions about what kind of transportation benefits you provide, including subsidies, education programs, and facilities like bike rooms.
Unlike the Survey requirement, employees and tenants do not need to complete the Program report questionnaire.
Commute Seattle and the City of Seattle collect this information to make sure your worksite or building is in compliance with CTR and TMP requirements and to help you create a competitive commute program that gets more people choosing sustainable commute options.
What can you learn from your Program Report?
- Large employers: See all your transportation benefits and facilities amenities in one place to better understand how your commute program helps people get to work sustainably. Use the Program Report Dashboard to see how competitive your benefits are compared to other companies in your industry.
- Property managers: See all your building’s transportation amenities in one place to better understand how your facilities help tenants get to your building sustainably.
When is my Program Report due?
Program Reports will be distributed on October 15 and are due Friday, November 14, 2025.
