​Status of Implementation

As part of the FY 24-25 budget, the Department of Personnel Services was funded to expand the County's Transportation Management Association (TMA) membership from just the downtown complex to County-wide and all employees now have access to TMA benefits. This includes emergency rides home for registered commuters using alternative modes of transportation, carpool matching services, and transit assistance. The TMA also provides the County outreach and educational services by tabling important employee events, hosting bicycle rides and repair events, and conducting employee commute surveys.

With regard to expanding the County transit subsidy, there is no update to provide specific to this measure as these higher level discussions are still occurring.
