With a focus on enabling efficiency in transportation and mobility through partnership, Greater Redmond Transportation Management Association (GRTMA) has been successfully providing services to our membership and their commuters since 1989. 2006 has been a year of significant change, with a new Executive Director and a virtually all-new, talented staff.
Change can often be the engine to drive us forward, and that is how we have attempted to use it in 2006. We changed our logo, developed new marketing ideas built around “social” marketing theories, began development of a new web site (with completion scheduled in early 2007), and partnered with the City of Redmond to develop new incentive ideas for companies to implement (Employee Commute Club Option “ECCO”).
Our first success story for ECCO was with Microsoft Corporation, whose dramatic participation reduced drive-alone traffic in and around Redmond and helped reduce demand for parking at Microsoft. Microsoft’s campaign built awareness that created a dramatic upswing in R-REWARDS registrants. As a result of this awareness, the 2006 R-REWARDS program saw a 260% increase over 2005.
Another successful campaign was the GRTMA’s first annual “Tour de Redmond” bicycle commuter challenge. We anticipate that broader sponsorship and participation in 2007 will propel this corporate competition to exceed all of its goals.
With the GRTMA’s new staff we have been able to increase supplemental contracts among our members, meet the administrative demands of the growth in the R-TRIP program, offer new customized marketing materials to our members, and improve GRTMA’s own marketing and brand.
It is with some satisfaction that we can state that all of the advances this year were accomplished within budget. Our challenge in 2007 will be to balance our expected growth against our resources.
Plans and challenges for the Greater Redmond TMA for 2007 are so exciting, we can hardly wait to begin!
