Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Program

Details: Last Updated on Thursday, 30 December 2010 16:15; Published Date; Hits: 15

Transportation
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Program

What is the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) program?

"The Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law in 1991, incorporating it into the Washington Clean Air Act. The goals of the program are to reduce traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, and petroleum consumption through employer-based programs that decrease the number of commute trips made by people driving alone" (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TDM/CTR/).

What does this mean for employers? In the State of Washington, any agency with more than 100 employees must participate in the CTR program and to set worksite CTR goals to help reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) usage on the roadways.

Currently, there are three agencies in Edmonds participating in the CTR program:

City of Edmonds
Stevens Hospital and
Edmonds Family Medicine Clinic.

For Snohomish County, Community Transit is responsible for coordinating with each of these agencies to monitor progress toward CTR program goals. One method that is used to measure progress is by having each worksite conduct a survey every other year to evaluate employee commute options (alternatives). The survey results are reviewed with the Community Transit Coordinator to see if the worksite is in compliance with CTR goals. To reach the goal, the worksite must attain either the (SOV) goal OR the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) goal (the sum of miles traveled by motor vehicles, divided by the number of employees). Each agency is responsible to make every good faith effort to reach SOV or VMT goals.

Throughout the year, to help encourage employees to participate in the program, there are many free Community Transit sponsored CTR program events that employees can participate in such as:

"Wheel Options" in October ( http://www.wheeloptions.org/wheeloptions/ )
"Bike to Work Day" in May/June http://www.commtrans.org/?mc=programs&subcat=8) and
"Dump the Pump" day.

Every employee in the city of Edmonds has a variety of different commuting options available which include:

Walking to work,
Biking to work,
- Bus service through Community Transit ( What bus can I take to get to my destination? http://www.commtrans.org/ ),
- Carpooling or Vanpooling- through Rideshare and the Park-And-Ride lot (To find the nearest Park-And-Ride lots in my area go to: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/choices/parkride.cfm ),
- Train service through Sound Transit ( http://www.soundtransit.org/ ) and
- Ferry service (For ferry schedule information see the following link: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/schedules/current/index.cfm?route=ed-king )

Refer to http://rideshare.com/ for information about possibly creating your own Vanpool with co-workers / friends. This smart, economic and very efficient plan allows companies to pay one monthly fee while "The Rideshare Company" assumes the responsibilities for van maintenance, insurance coverage, gas costs and more. The van can carry between 7 and 15 passengers.

Drinking Water Source & Water Quality

Details: Last Updated on Friday, 18 March 2011 07:24; Published Date; Hits: 16

Drinking Water Source & Water Quality

Edmonds purchases your drinking water from the Alderwood Water District. Alderwood Water District purchases their water from the City of Everett. The water comes from Spada Reservoir, located at the headwaters of the Sultan River about 30 miles east of Everett. The Spada Reservoir, created in 1964 in partnership with the Snohomish County PUD, holds about 50 billion gallons of water.

From Spada Reservoir, the water travels through a pipeline to the City of Everett Treatment facility at the Chaplain Reservoir. Chaplain Reservoir is about 8 miles downstream from Spada Reservoir and holds about 4.5 billion gallons of water.

Spada Reservoir is in the Sultan Basin Watershed. A watershed is a geographic area where all precipitation drains into a single body of water. In the Sultan Basin Watershed, rain and snow melt from the Cascade Mountains flow into Spada Reservoir. The Sultan Basin Watershed covers an area of about 84 square miles and is one of the wettest watersheds on the west side of the Cascade Mountains. The average rainfall is about 165 inches, or 5 times our local rainfall. To protect the naturally pristine water in Spada Reservoir, water quality in the Sultan Basin is carefully monitored.

Edmonds Stormwater Management Program

Details: Last Updated on Thursday, 30 December 2010 18:51; Published Date; Hits: 26

Edmonds Stormwater Management Program

New Stormwater Management Code
Effective June 1, 2010

On April 20, 2010 City Council approved the new stormwater code and supplement for development, redevelopment, and construction sites. This complete re-write of Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Chapter 18.30 is in response to the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit, issued by the Washington Department of Ecology. The City is also revising and updating stormwater management standards due to advancements in the field since the last code update in 1995. These updates include allowing the use of low impact development (LID) techniques, where feasible. The effective date of the new code is June 1, 2010.

Please contact the Engineering Division at 425-771-0220 for additional information

Stormwater Management Program Documentation

The Engineering Division has drafted the Stormwater Management Program to meet the requirements of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. The Municipal Stormwater Permit is a requirement of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits Program which is an element of the Federal Clean Water Act. Permit authority in Washington State has been delegated to the State Department of Ecology. Ecology issued a Phase II municipal Stormwater General Permit to more than 100 municipalities, including Edmonds, in early 2007.

The City's Stormwater Management Program document describes actions the city will take through February 2012 to maintain compliance with the Permit's Stormwater Management Program conditions, which are designed to reduce stormwater runoff pollution to Edmonds’ waterways.

The City wishes to involve the public in the decision making processes involving the development and implementation of the Stormwater Management Program. Opportunities for public review and comment will be available as different elements of the Program are developed. These opportunities will include, but not be limited to the following:

Development and implementation of a Public Education and Outreach Plan.

Development and implementation of Ordinances required by the permit.

Other opportunities as they are identified will be posted on this web site.

Flood Prevention-Stormwater Management

Details: Last Updated on Friday, 24 June 2011 09:48; Published Date; Hits: 16

Stormwater Management
Flood Prevention

Edmonds’ drainage system is composed of streams, lakes, wetlands, storm detention sites, pipes and ditches and has largely been designed to hold and carry stormwater during storms. However, when heavy storms hit, some flooding can occur. Flooding can cause streambank erosion, destroy salmon eggs, and cause property damage.

To prepare for heavy rains and prevent flooding:

Check storm drains near your home and business and clear away any leaves and debris. Clogged grates are often the reason a street floods during a storm.
Test your sump pump to make sure it will be in good working order if a storm hits.
Do not dump trash or yard debris into streams. This can block stream flow.
Do not attempt to drive through standing water.
Do not disturb natural vegetation on steep slopes. This vegetation helps prevent erosion.
If your home or business is in danger of flooding, call Public Works at 425-771-0235 (24-hour emergency number). After normal business hours, call 911.

For more information on floods, check the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Web site.

Construction Zone Safety

Details: Last Updated on Thursday, 13 October 2011 07:50; Published Date; Hits: 34

For many workers the "office" is actually a vehicle. Everyone plays a role in maintaining a safe work zone area during roadway construction. Be patient and drive safely through road construction sites. Follow these tips to play your part:

Pay attention to the orange diamond-shaped warning signs or electronic message boards posted in advance of a road construction project.
Stay alert. Minimize distractions within your car such as changing the radio station. Dedicate your full attention to driving.
Pay close attention and heed directions on work zone warning signs. Signs and work zone flaggers save lives.
Expect the unexpected. Anticipate potential dangers.
Keep an eye out for construction workers, their equipment and vehicles, as well as the vehicles around you.
Watch for orange cones deliniating travel lanes or lane diversions.

Disaster Preparedness

Details: Last Updated on Monday, 07 November 2011 17:40; Published Date; Hits: 36

The Department of Homeland Security provides an Are You Ready Guide to the citizens of this nation to help be prepared against all types of hazards. Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany disasters. Communities, families and individuals should know what to do, where to seek shelter, be prepared to evacuate their home and know how to care for their basic medical needs.

As an Individual - You have a responsibility to protect yourself and your family by knowing what to do before, during and after an event. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it might take days. Disaster supply kits should be prepared for your home, work and vehicles. Your supply kit should contain essential food, water and supplies for at least three days.

As a Community - Most emergencies are handled at the local level, which puts a tremendous responsibility on the community for taking care of its citizens. The local level team is made up of paid employees and volunteers from the private and public sectors. During a disaster, the City Public Works Department becomes the backup Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The City Public Safety Complex is the primary facility. The EOC is a central command and control facility established to identify damage and hazards, assess potential risk to the community, identify needs, provide shelter, etc.
