Liberty Lake council adopts updated Commute Trip Reduction plan

The Liberty Lake City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 4 to adopt Resolution No. 25‑272, updating the city's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan. Councilmember Van Orman and staff described the program as a workplace‑oriented effort to reduce single‑occupancy vehicle trips; the resolution advancement followed a brief staff report and a public comment period on the plan.

A member of the public and staff highlighted progress: the city’s employer participation and internal coordination have moved recognition from bronze to silver level and the city will participate in a Feb. 12 recognition event. Council approved the resolution by unanimous voice vote with no recorded roll call of individual votes.

The updated CTR plan is intended to guide employer outreach, commuter options, and reporting on related measures. Staff indicated the city will continue coordinating with large employers and regional partners to expand participation.
