County Gets CTR Award

Congratulations to Spokane County! The County last week was awarded the “Commute Smart Community Champion Award.” The award highlights the contributions the County and its' partners make to improve community livability.

Among its' achievements, the County established a growth and transportation efficiency center (GTEC) and, since 1994, Spokane County has led commute trip reduction (CTR) services in Eastern Washington.

CTR helped the City of Spokane’s Growth and Transportation Efficiency Center (GTEC) attain an 11% percent reduction in drive alone trips and over 8% reduction in vehicle miles traveled in only 10-months while encouraging over 1,000 individuals to start using a commute alternative.
