Overview: Washington State planning regions are prioritizing TDM strategies as a way to optimize our transportation systems and meet broader conservation goals related to energy, climate and public health. Learn how two of our planning organizations, the Puget Sound Regional Council (Seattle area) and the Thurston Regional Planning Council (Olympia area), have integrated these strategies in an award-winning fashion.
Presenters:

He staffs the regional TDM Steering Committee, which recently developed a Regional TDM Action Plan that describes strategic priorities for local implementers of TDM and implementation actions at the regional level.
· Karen Parkhurst, Senior Planner with Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC). Since 2000, Karen has a number of successful TDM projects and planning efforts under her belt. She currently sits on the Washington State Commute Trip Reduction Board, as well as the board of the Community Transportation Association - Northwest.
· Chris Simmons, Treasurer of the Association for Commuter Transportation, will moderate the session. He is a consultant based in the Seattle area.
