Summary
A grant opportunity is available in Redmond, Washington, created to support employers—both small businesses and nonprofits—who are focused on enhancing employee commutes and promoting environmentally sustainable practices. This opportunity is open to organizations that operate a physical worksite in the city and have at least two staff members who commute to the location regularly. The purpose of the funding is to assist employers in launching or expanding sustainable transportation programs. Examples include adding bicycle facilities, offering public transit benefits, encouraging carpooling, or creating incentives for shared commuting. The goal is to reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles, alleviate traffic and parking demand, and support healthier, eco-friendly commute options for employees.
To be considered, applicants must hold a current business license issued by the City of Redmond. The funding supports only new or expanded programs—not those already in place. For projects involving equipment or infrastructure, such as installing bike racks or commuter kiosks, recipients are expected to commit to keeping those assets in use for several years.
Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis and must be submitted with adequate lead time—typically around four weeks—before the intended launch of the project. While the program is open to employers of all sizes, specific conditions apply depending on the nature and scale of the initiative.
This grant offers practical and impactful support to organizations aiming to improve their employees’ commuting experience while contributing to the city’s sustainability goals. It encourages forward-thinking ideas that promote workplace wellness, reduce carbon emissions, and build a stronger connection between local businesses and their surrounding communities. Whether planning a new bike-to-work initiative or introducing commute stipends, organizations can find the resources and support they need through this opportunity to bring their ideas to life.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Washington that are actively involved in Small Business. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
