In 2007, Greater Redmond Transportation Management re-established itself as an innovative, forward-thinking transportation management association with strong leadership from an outstanding board of directors.

Our second annual Tour de Redmond won a prestigious international TMA award from the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT). This recognition comes as a result of a record-breaking 2-month-long competition that celebrated the efforts of 362 bicyclists from 30 companies commuting 82,365 miles. This extraordinary event, jointly sponsored by Greater Redmond TMA, Microsoft, Redmond Town Center and REI, is unique and innovative and now being imitated by other communities across the Country.

The Tour de Redmond, as exciting as it was in its own right, was successfully coupled with the first ever EcoCommuting Fair at the Redmond Town Center, made possible by our members and by R-TRIP. This fair brought out environmental groups, transportation providers, private companies, civic leaders, and the press to raise awareness of the impact our commute choices make on our environment. More than a thousand people attended the combined events.

Demand for GRTMA services has only been growing. Our customized marketing materials and promotion of local, regional, and state-wide events have been enthusiastically received by our members. The demand for supplemental Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) contracts among our members has grown, and we are meeting that need.

As always, we are proud to announce that all of our efforts were accomplished within budget. Our challenge for the coming year will be to balance our growth against our resources to be able to continue to serve our members and our community.
