CTR Survey Results – 2026

November 3, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Dear Campus Community,


Thank you to all who participated in this year’s commute trip reduction (CTR) survey. We had an amazing survey response rate at 60.15 %. This means we hit our goal set with WA State DOT for compliance.

Prize winners have been e-mailed separately and were drawn via random number generator.

What did we learn from the survey?
-64% of CTR-affected employees drive alone (working 35+ hours in a week, working M-F, and start their workday from 6am-9am)
-22% Work from Home (or work a hybrid schedule)
-8% use other resources to commute to work (light rail, rideshare, ferry, motorcycle, bicycle, walk, etc.)
-4% take the bus
-2% carpool

Thank you!

Your Employee Transportation Coordinator, Mary Lou Ames (Campus Safety)

Two new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are now available in the parking lot behind the theater (Building 1600). The new stations have two plugs each

These new charging stations join the other EV charging stations on campus found in the Visitor Parking Lot and by Building 6000.

The charging stations are free to use and open to the community. As with all our EV charging stations, there is a 3-hour time limit per day. Citation may be issued if you exceed the daily 3-hour time limit. These spaces may only be occupied while a vehicle is actively charging.

Thanks to Facilities and Campus Safety for their work getting these new stations installed.

Please feel free to contact Campus Safety with any questions or assistance using the EV charging stations.
