Partnerships and Coordination with Other Programs and Agencies

ACCS has and will continue to collaborate with various partner agencies and organizations for the administration of the above services. Table 19 identifies the common partners that the service areas often work with, denoted with a  (green checkmark) symbol, while those without a direct connection are left blank.

ARLINGTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS

ACCS will continue to partner with other Arlington County government agencies and departments, with ACCS itself operating under the Department of Environmental Services (DES). ACCS should continue to partner with others within DES to design, maintain, and replace the County's transit signage; work with Arlington Economic Development (AED) to leverage workforce engagement; and work with Arlington Public Schools to include students in TDM programming, rather than only considering schools as an employer.

OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

ACCS will also partner with non-Arlington government agencies and organizations. It will continue to partner with MWCOG's Commuter Connections and MWCOG's TDM Marketing Group to connect employers and commuters with non-driving transportation options and to help promote those options, including the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) service. ACCS should also coordinate with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to broaden the use of CMAQ funding to provide TDM programming for multiple trip types, not just commuting.

TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS

ACCS will continue to partner with transportation providers such as transit agencies, bikesharing and micromobility providers, and vanpooling providers. Specifically, ACCS should promote these services as ways to get around, connect travelers with applicable transportation benefits, and ensure ACCS's own marketing and messaging materials stay current with transportation providers' services.

NON-PROFITS AND BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS

ACCS will continue working with other organizations such as the League of American Bicyclists and the USF Center for Urban Transportation, which administer the Bicycle-Friendly-Business (BSB) and Best Workplace for Commuter designations, respectively. Additionally, ACCS's work with the several Business Improvement Districts operating within Arlington should continue to ensure that each is leveraging the reach of the other. ACCS should continue outreach at the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) to reach lower-income residents and outreach at English as a second language classes to reach people with limited English proficiency.

PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS

ACCS will also work with private sector partners. Specifically, ACCS will continue supporting employers, multifamily residential buildings, and retail and hotel locations as they offer TDM programming to employees, residents, and visitors. ACCS will also work with developers regarding TDM site plan requirements.
