The City of South San Francisco TDM Ordinance strives to accomplish the following goals: • Reduce the amount of traffic generated by new nonresidential development. • Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated. • Reduce drive-alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a combination of services, incentives, and facilities. • Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and ensure that new developments are designed in ways to maximize the potential for alternative transportation usage. • Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that the desired alternative mode use percentages are achieved. The City requires the Project to enact a TDM program to achieve a maximum drive alone commute mode share of 50 percent pursuant to the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 20.400. Additionally, the Project must implement annual monitoring of a site-specific trip cap. These requirements are consistent with a Tier 4 classification (large office/R&D project) under the TDM Ordinance and also meet the TDM requirements established by the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG). This TDM Plan identifies a set of strategies, measures, and incentives to encourage future tenant employees at the Project to walk, bicycle, ride transit, or carpool when commuting to and from work. In order to accomplish this goal, this plan presents a range of proven strategies and measures used across the Bay Area. Project Description The Project includes 669,014 square feet of R&D space, 9,055 square feet of conference space, and dining and fitness amenities which are expected primarily to serve other users of the site. The Project includes 1,300 parking spaces. The Project is located in South San Francisco’s Lindenville District just off Produce Avenue immediately west of US 101 and north of the Navigable Slough. Site access would be provided for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists via Infinite Court off Produce Avenue and via a right-of-way connection to Shaw Road. Figure 1 illustrates the Project location, while Figure 2 depicts site circulation.

Existing transit services are shown in Figure 3. Descriptions provided in this section reflect transit operations in Spring 2023. BART BART provides regional rail service between the East Bay, San Francisco, and San Mateo County, with connections to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae Intermodal Station to the south, San Francisco to the north, and Oakland, Richmond, Pittsburgh/Bay Point, Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont in the East Bay. Two BART lines serve South San Francisco Station: the Yellow Line connecting Antioch with San Francisco International Airport, and the Red Line connecting Richmond and Millbrae. Each BART line operates every 15-minutes throughout the day. The closest station is San Bruno BART Station, located approximately one mile southwest of the Project site in neighboring San Bruno. Caltrain Caltrain provides passenger rail service on the Peninsula between San Francisco and San José, and limited service to Morgan Hill and Gilroy during weekday commute periods. The South San Francisco Caltrain Station is located approximately one mile north of the Project site and San Bruno Caltrain Station is located approximately one mile south of the Project site in neighboring San Bruno. Both stations are served by local and limited trains from around 5:00 A.M. to 12:30 A.M., with approximately 30-minute headways during peak periods and 60-minute headways during off-peak periods. In early 2022, Caltrain relocated the South San Francisco Caltrain station several hundred feet to the south to provide a more direct connection to downtown South San Francisco. By 2024, Caltrain plans to complete its electrification project to support the operation of faster and more frequent rail service on the Peninsula, and expects to modify its schedules accordingly. WETA (San Francisco Bay Ferry) The Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) provides weekday commuter ferry service between the Oakland/Alameda ferry terminals and the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal at Oyster Point (known as the San Francisco Bay Ferry). There are three morning departures from Oakland/Alameda to South San Francisco, and three evening departures from South San Francisco to Oakland/Alameda. The South San Francisco Ferry Terminal is located approximately 3 miles to the northeast of the Project site. SamTrans SamTrans provides bus service in San Mateo County. There are no existing SamTrans bus stops within a reasonable walking distance of the Project site. !Existing Transit ServiceFigure 3 SamTrans Peak Period Frequency Other Transit Service Every 15 minutes or less Every 20 - 30 minutes Greater than 30 minutes BART Caltrain Free South City Shuttle Bayhill Shuttle Project Site ECRRAPID !!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! !!!!!3101Linden AvenueS out h Air p or t Boul ev a r d Ca mi no Re a l Harbor WySouth Linden AvenueEl Ca mi n oR e a l OrangeAvenue GrandAvenue Hunti n g t onAv AirportBlryClubDriveDubuqueAvU ta h A v e n u eGatewayBl Sn eath Lan e SanBrunoAve E ProduceAvEastGra ndAv C SpruceAvenueMitchellAvenue ·82 %&380 North Mcdonnell RoadSan Mateo Av!!South San Francisco DOWNTOWN LINDENVILLE TanforanShopping Center OrangeMemorial Park San Bruno 140 BH 140 292 141 398 398 ECR SSF South San Francisco San Bruno South San Francisco San Bruno BART CALTRAIN 0.5 mi 8 First/Last Mile Shuttle Connections There are currently no existing shuttles serving the Project site. Bicycle and Pedestrian Connections The Project site is located adjacent to US 101, a navigable slough, and existing industrial and parking facilities, which heavily constrain bicycle and pedestrian connectivity. Produce Avenue has a continuous sidewalk along the west side of the street that connects to the intersection with San Mateo Avenue and Airport Boulevard. People walking or biking to or from the site currently must use this route. At buildout, the Project has proposed a new trail connection with Shaw Road. Shaw Road has a sidewalk on the north side of the street to the west of the right-of-way and on the south side of street in both directions; there is no existing street crossing of Shaw Road at the right-of-way. While the City continues to expand its bicycle and pedestrian network, the area surrounding the Project has historically experienced low volumes of pedestrians and bicyclists due to commute lengths, lack of continuous low stress facilities, and lack of network connectivity to residences and transit stations. To address the gap in the bicycle and pedestrian network near the Project site, the City has proposed a bicycle and pedestrian bridge and trail in the vicinity of the Project site in its Active South City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The trail would connect the Bay Trail and Centennial Way Trail via the Navigable Slough, Shaw Road, and an eventual grade separation of Caltrain at Tanforan Avenue. Figure 5 illustrates existing and planned bikeway facilities as well as sidewalk infrastructure gaps in South San Francisco. San Mateo County TDM Resources The Project would have access to trip reduction services offered by Commute.org. Commute.org is a public agency whose mission is to reduce the number of drive-alone vehicles traveling to, from or through San Mateo County. The agency’s goal is to help residents and commuters find alternatives to driving alone that are less stressful, less costly, and better the environment. The agency provides information and commute planning assistance to employees, employer programs, and city transportation demand management partnerships. Commute.org also provides first/last mile shuttle services in the East of 101 Area. Figure 4 illustrates some current promotions and services offered by Commute.org that are open to all employees in San Mateo County.

When applying for a Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant shall submit a compliance form and appropriate attachments finalizing the TDM program and documenting how the program will be implemented before the site reaches 50% occupancy. Proposed TDM Program The City’s TDM Ordinance has two components: a points-based planning checklist and annual performance monitoring thresholds. As a Tier 4 project, the Project is required to submit a completed TDM checklist that achieves a minimum threshold of 50 points, consistent with achieving a 50 percent drive alone mode share target (via survey) and compliance with an onsite trip cap (via counts). As illustrated in Table 1, the Project would implement all required measures per the City’s TDM Ordinance, including the following: ▪ 50% Transit Pass Subsidies and Pre-Tax Transit Benefits ▪ Participation in Commute.org Programs ▪ Carpool/Vanpool Programs and Parking ▪ Bicycle Storage, Showers, and Lockers ▪ Designated TDM Coordinator ▪ Bicycle and Pedestrian-Oriented Site Access ▪ Encourage Telecommuting & Flexible Work Schedules The Project would also implement the following optional measures: ▪ Enhanced Shuttle Commitment ▪ Fully Subsidized Transit Passes ▪ Active Transportation Gap Closure ▪ Transit Capital Improvements ▪ On-Site Pedestrian-Oriented Amenities ▪ Bicycle Repair Station Each measure is described in detail below. 11 Participation in Commute.org Programs The Project will partner with Commute.org to provide TDM marketing services and promotions via its Certified Development Program (https://commute.org/resources/developers/). Commute.org offers a wide array of programs and marketing support to all eligible employers, property managers, and cities within San Mateo County. Key services that the Project will participate in include the Commute.org ride- matching program (designed to aid in carpool and vanpool formation); Guaranteed Ride Home services; and general educational and promotional programs and materials. The Project’s designated TDM coordinator will obtain a certificate of participation from Commute.org each year as part of the annual monitoring and reporting process. Carpool/Vanpool Programs and Parking The Project will ensure that employer tenants offer carpool and vanpool programs that include subsidies or other monetary incentives (e.g., gas card after carpooling for a given amount of time, or parking subsidies for carpools), dedicated carpool and vanpool parking, as well as ride-matching services to help facilitate these shared trips. Elements of the carpool program (such as use of the regional ride-matching program) will be provided in partnership with Commute.org. Bicycle Storage, Showers, and Lockers The Project will provide safe and convenient bicycle parking per City code requirements, as well as showers, changing rooms, and lockers. The Project is proposing to provide short-term bicycle parking spaces and long-term bicycle parking spaces in excess of code requirements. Short-term bicycle parking will be located near main building entrances and will be easily accessible. Designated TDM Coordinator The Project will designate a TDM coordinator. This individual may either be an employee of the Project’s property management or contracted through a third-party provider. The TDM coordinator shall provide oversight and management of the program’s implementation. In addition, the TDM coordinator will provide lists of mandatory and optional measures to all individual businesses. Tenants will be obligated (via lease language) to provide a point of contact for the Designated TDM Coordinator. The TDM Coordinator, in turn, will verify that tenants are implementing all required measures as part of the annual monitoring and reporting process. Bicycle and Pedestrian-Oriented Site Access The Project will enhance bicycle and pedestrian access by providing new connections and onsite circulation paths. The Project will provide pedestrian walkways between all core buildings and bicycle routes through the site. Bicycle access will primarily be provided via a new trail along the Navigable Slough connecting to Shaw Road. 12 Encourage Telecommuting & Flexible Work Schedules The Project shall encourage employers to allow telecommuting at least one day per week to reduce overall vehicle trips, unless an employee’s job functions cannot be performed from a remote location. When employees commute to work, employers shall encourage flexible work schedules that help shift travel outside of peak hours. Uptake of remote work, telecommuting, and flexible work schedules will be monitored via survey. Enhanced Shuttle Commitment The Project will provide first/last mile shuttles to the San Bruno BART Station and South San Francisco Caltrain Station. Since no shuttle routes are present near the Project site, the Project sponsor will establish new routes. A minimum of one vehicle would be dedicated to each route (two vehicles total) with service at least every 15 minutes during the AM and PM peak periods (totaling a minimum of six hours per day). Shuttles will be free and open to the public. The Project sponsor is encouraged to work with Commute.org as a shuttle manager and participate in the San Mateo County Transportation Authority’s Shuttle Call for Projects grant program. The proposed shuttle routes are shown in Figure 6. Fully Subsidized Transit Passes The Project will offer public transit passes or subsidies up to the IRS transit benefit maximum (currently $280 per person per month). This may be implemented through either a direct voucher program provided by the property manager, or through lease terms obligating employers to provide said subsidies. Should the measure be implemented through lease obligations, the designated TDM coordinator will be responsible for confirming that all employers are offering said benefits as part of the annual monitoring and reporting process. Active Transportation Gap Closure The Project will contribute toward a bicycle and pedestrian connection across US-101 linking the Bay Trail and the East of 101 Area with Shaw Road and the Lindenville area. The Project will prepare an engineering analysis of the potential trail crossing alignments and incorporate the preferred alternative alignment into the proposed Project. The Project will also contribute to active transportation gap closures at intersections adjacent to its driveways at Produce Avenue/Terminal Court/US-101 Onramp and Produce Avenue US-101 Southbound Off-Ramp. These improvements would include upgrades to sidewalks, crosswalks, and traffic signals as described in the Transportation Impact Analysis. Transit Capital Improvements The Project will incorporate a new on-site shuttle stop with shelters. The shuttle stop will be centrally located and convenient for people to access main building entrances. 13 On-Site Pedestrian-Oriented Amenities The Project will include a restaurant, gym, and conference center onsite to help reduce offsite trips. Bicycle Repair Station The Project will include at least one bicycle repair station that will include a toolkit and air pump within a designated secure area of a building to encourage bicycling and support employees and residents. TDM Checklist Based on the required and optional measures described above, the Project would meet the required 50- point threshold for Tier 4 projects as illustrated in Table 1.

Trip caps should reinforce mode share and parking requirements for the site while allowing some flexibility to accommodate fluctuations in employee density, daily variations in travel patterns, and anticipated levels of guest/visitor travel activity. The proposed trip cap is 1,550 peak period, peak direction vehicle trips, based on the calculations below (values rounded to the nearest 10): • Maximum potential onsite occupancy: 2,870 people (inclusive of employees and visitors) • Target 50% drive-alone rate: 50% x 2,870 people = 1,435 vehicle trips • Target 12% carpool rate: 12% x 2,870 people / 3 people per vehicle = 115 vehicle trips • Peak period trip cap: 1,435 + 115 = 1,550 vehicle trips CrestmoorCanyon 3101 W e stO rangeAven ueC hestnutAv South A i rpo r t Bou l e v a rd Westb or o u g h B lEl Cam i n o R ea l San Brun o A v e n ue W e st yW robraHSouth Linden AvenueEl Cami n o R e alOrangeAvenue Grand Avenue Hunti ngt onAv NorthMcdonnel l RoadC o u n tryClubDriv eDubuqueAvUtah Aven u eGatewayBlSneath LaneLinden AvSan Bruno Avenue EastSouthSpruceAvenueProduceAvEa stGra ndAv eunevA oetaM naSChe r r y A vDor a d o W y Crestwood Dr ive Spruce AvenueAvalon DriveMitchellAvenue ·82 %&280 %&38017 24 31 20 26 25 27 18 19 11 16 28 13 10 87 2 3 1 4 30 6 Project ShuttlesFigure 6 Project Site Caltrain Shuttle and Stop BART Shuttle and Stop City Boundary 0.5 mi San Bruno South San Francisco DOWNTOWN DOWNTOWN LINDENVILLE BAYHILL TanforanShopping Center OrangeMemorial Park South Maple AvenueHun�ng t on Av enue Sea Sco� St Miller Av Baden Av Bis c uit Av Ai rpor t Bl San Mateo Av3101 ·82 %&380 25 27 18 19 South San Francisco DOWNTOWN LINDENVILLE BAYHILL TanforanShopping Center OrangeMemorial Park South Maple AvenueHun�ngton Avenue Sea Sco� St Miller Av Baden Av Bi s c u it Av Ai rpor t Bl San Mateo AvenueShaw RoadSan Mateo AvenueTanforan Av e n u e Mitchell Avenue Sou th A i rpo r t B l v d BART Route and Station Caltrain Route and Station P r oduce AvenueSouth Linden Avenue 16 Monitoring and Enforcement The TDM program will be monitored based on the requirements in the South San Francisco TDM Ordinance. The Project would comply with any future changes to the City’s monitoring and enforcement practices as described in its TDM Ordinance. Monitoring Methods Survey monitoring would apply to commute trips only. Participants are expected to provide a good faith effort in reducing non-commute trips, but these trips would only be monitored via vehicle trip counts. Survey Approach Mode share will be monitored via an annual survey to all employees to ensure the Project is meeting its target goal. Each year, the survey will achieve a response rate equal to either 51 percent of employees or large enough to identify the current drive alone mode share +/- 5 percentage points, at 95% confidence. An example of a typical commute survey is included in the appendix; the City of South San Francisco (or a designated agent) shall ultimately prepare the final surveys and work with the designated TDM Coordinator to distribute surveys and coordinate with employer tenants. The site’s TDM coordinator may expand upon this survey language to seek additional information as needed. In order to calculate drive alone mode share, the TDM coordinator and City staff would sum the total number of trips completed via the following modes: • Drove a car or motorcycle alone • Dropped off by a friend/family member • Dropped off by Uber, Lyft, taxi, etc. • Non-responses if greater than 25 percent of the site’s employee population Trip counts would be included with the annual survey results and summarize total trips, AM peak period trips into the site (6:00 AM to 10:00 AM), and PM peak period trips out of the site (3:00 PM to 7:00 PM). In all instances, participants in the program must provide raw data to the City as part of their compliance package, including: 1. Respondent-level survey response data (deletion of columns containing emails or non-required fields is acceptable) 2. Count data as delivered by the contractor providing the counts for each location, with data separated into 15-minute increments or smaller. 3. Current employee population 17 Trip Cap Monitoring Trip cap compliance would be monitored via annual vehicle counts at all Project access points. Counts would be conducted by an independent vendor over a period of one week during which school is in session. Reporting As a Tier 4 project, the Project will be required to prepare and submit to the City an annual compliance form documenting the continued implementation of TDM measures, for the lifespan of the Project. In addition to the compliance form, counts and survey results would be provided to the City in a standardized format as specified by staff. Formatted reports would be optional but not required. Triennial Midday Parking Occupancy Survey In addition to annual surveys and trip counts, the Project shall prepare a midday parking occupancy count every three years per City Ordinance requirements. The parking occupancy survey shall be for informational purposes and is not associated with a performance target. Enforcement & Fines The TDM Coordinator may use information from the employee surveys to adjust existing or implement new TDM program measures. If the alternative mode use goals are not achieved, the TDM Coordinator will provide an explanation of how and why the goal has not been reached and a detailed description of additional measures (or intensified marketing or implementation of existing measures) that will be adopted to reach the required mode use. Following three consecutive years of failure to meet the performance target, the Project shall pay any non-compliance fees and fines assessed by the City, as well as continue to make changes to the TDM program in an effort to reach compliance. If the Project does not meet the required performance targets, the following penalties shall apply per the TDM Ordinance: ▪ First Violation: The City will direct the Project to modify its TDM program to achieve compliance. Modifications are likely to include adding or modifying TDM measures to increase mode shift. ▪ Second Violation: The City will direct the participant to coordinate with Commute.org or retain an independent consultant to identify additional program modifications to achieve compliance. Modifications are likely to include adding or modifying TDM measures to increase mode shift. ▪ Third Violation (and any subsequent violations): The City may assess a penalty per the City’s fee schedule. Penalties shall be assessed for each additional violation in subsequent years. The Project may appeal the decision to administer a penalty if special circumstances prevented meeting the required performance targets. 18 Appendix: Sample Survey Questions 1.
