The TDM Team works collaboratively within Metro and with a range of external stakeholders to expand access to transit and options for mobility, reduce single occupancy vehicle miles traveled, and, as a result, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The team does this through education and outreach, identifying and implementing measures to remove barriers to mobility options, and using a variety of tools to shift behavior from single occupancy vehicles to other modes of travel.

The Youth Programs Coordinator (PPM II TLT) on the TDM Team will support a variety of transportation demand management programs for youth, primarily focused on middle and high school students, but also elementary students, in partnership with community-based organizations and school districts.

The Youth Programs Coordinator will also support the broader Market and Business Development Group to create and maintain opportunities for expanding and enhancing travel markets consistent with the goals and objectives of King County Metro’s Strategic Plan. Filling this position is critical for Market and Business Development to maintain and enhance its role in ensuring Metro stays at the forefront of advancing equity and mobility in our region.

About Market and Business Development
