Welcome to our Transportation Coordinator Spotlight Series! We’re celebrating the work of Employee and Building Transportation Coordinators across the city. ETC and BTCs do more than just implement programs and benefits to reduce traffic — they make the lives of working people better by saving employees time and money and improving the air quality for all who call Seattle home.
Read on for our spotlight Q&A with Building Transportation Coordinator, Mark Verner.

What is your job title?
How long have you been an ETC or BTC?
What does a typical workday look like for you?

What’s one challenge you’ve faced in your role as an ETC or BTC? What strategies did you use to face that challenge?
One challenge was seeking budget approval for amenities that would benefit our building transit program. To get approval for our TransitScreen, I listed the benefits: improved tenant/employee experience, tenant/employee retention, and providing transit info to tenants/employees/building visitors.
