Transportation Demand Management Plan Update
The Transportation Demand Management program in Bellevue is focused on encouraging and facilitating choices: ensuring residents and workers in the city are aware of their many transportation options and making it easier to get around Bellevue to choose modes of transportation other than solo driving. Through the Choose Your Way Bellevue messaging platform, the program engages Bellevue employers, property managers, students, workers and residents in rethinking their mobility options. Program elements include a mobile app; trip logging incentives; and business assistance such as free commute program consultations, mini-grants, rebates for employee transit passes and transportation fairs.

de this work, the city is in the process of updating the TDM Plan for the next eight years, and we’re looking for your help! The TDM Plan serves as a basis for helping to make Bellevue’s growth policies feasible: by reducing driving in the city, we free up space for a mobile, vibrant, and economically thriving city. Through April 21, 2023, you can help us help you by suggesting any ideas for the TDM Plan, commenting on guided questions in the forum, and asking us anything you’d like to know. Your input on Engaging Bellevue provides substantive qualitative feedback that informs the TDM Plan to help Bellevue workers and residents get around. In coming months, we hope to share a draft of the TDM Plan for your input.
Are you a business organization, employer or property manager of a Bellevue worksite? The TDM program provides you with assistance and resources for helping Bellevue employees/tenants get to your worksite using non-drive-alone modes. You can respond below with your thoughts on how we can be of greater assistance to you and your employees/tenants, as well as the economic vitality of Bellevue.
Before diving in, take a second to think about these questions:
- How you get around Bellevue? What factors play into your choice?
- How would you like the city to help broaden your choices?
- Businesses: How do your employees commute to your worksite?

Consider citing Bicycle road commuters or find another way to encourage them to follow traffic rules.
As a walking commuter, I like to cross streets without fear of being hit. Recently, I personally encountered bicycle road commuters ignoring traffic rules and turning (into crossways) without regard to pedestrians. If a car must yield to pedestrians so must bicycle road commuters. This isn’t an issue with pedestrian bicyclists because they typically walk across or ride slowly next to walking pedestrians.

Encourage Businesses and residents to keep the walkways tidy or wash walkways a couple time a week.
As a walking commuter, I like clear and sanitary walkways. Recently, I have encountered more dog urine and feces and offensive garbage odors. as well as debris such as broken glass and garbage.

Consider establishing a home to work rehabilitation apartment center for the influx of homeless.
As a walking commuter, it is challenging both emotionally and sometimes physically due to the influx of people experiencing homelessness - while most panhandlers don’t harangue others I’m at a loss on how to help or I feel compelled to provide immediate assistance.
