EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Traffic congestion and air pollution are critical concerns in maintaining a healthy
economy and lifestyle within the City of South San Francisco. Traffic congestion results
in time lost to residents and commuters, and increased demand on City fiscal resources
for roadway construction and maintenance. Mobile sources, such as automobiles,
accounts for 50% of all air pollution in South San Francisco.
The developer of the 681 Gateway Boulevard project prepared a Preliminary
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan in May 2002. This comprehensive
plan was designed to achieve a 28% alternative mode-use that addresses both traffic
and air quality concerns in South San Francisco based on a speculative tenant. A copy
of this plan is provided in Exhibit A.
The plan included ordinance-required and extra measures, annual survey monitoring
and reporting. The plan has a variety of infrastructure and incentive-based measures,
which encourage all forms of alternative mode-use such as car and vanpool, transit and
shuttles, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting.
An important feature, although not a formal TDM plan measure, is the reduced level of
parking made available for the project. The project proposes a modest parking
availability with 15.5% less parking than code for the development at 2.83/1,000 square
feet. City code is 3.3/1,000 square feet. The reduced parking level will help to
discourage single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use. Other measures such as shuttles,
carpool spaces, showers and bicycle facilities, and employer incentives, including the
Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program, will support employees who choose
alternatives to driving alone.
This plan is performance based. The project is required to achieve a 28% alternative
mode-use by tenant employees. The mode-use will be monitored annually with the first
employee commute survey to be conducted one year after occupancy. An alternative
mode-use summary report will be submitted to the City's Economic Community
Development Director after the annual employee commute survey has been conducted.
Efforts to reduce drive-alone commuting and expand the mode options available to
commuters can take many years to develop and mature. The current commute
environment to San Mateo County and the City of South San Francisco will offer project
commuters lower levels of roadway congestion and higher highway travel speeds
according to recent regional surveys conducted by the Alliance and RIDES.
Correspondingly, the transportation alternatives available to commuters may be less
attractive when compared with the ease and convenience of driving alone. Reduced
traffic congestion contributes toward SOV usage. In addition, all tenant-employers and
their employees will be provided with free parking which may further encourage drive-
alone usage.
The updated elements contained in this plan are in line with other South San Francisco
employee commute programs. This plan will meet or exceed the 28% alternative mode-
use goal. This TDM plan has been updated to reflect the measures required by the City
and includes triennual reporting as required per the 2002 Conditions of Approval.

681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19, 2006
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The 681 Gateway Boulevard project supports the City of South San Francisco's policy of
focusing clustered development along major transportation corridors. This project is
located near to and is served by u.s. Highway 101 and Interstate 280, a Caltrain station,
and a BART station.
The comprehensive plan of trip reduction measures identified in this report is essential
to realizing the trip reduction potential of the project. The combination of these critical
factors will provide the momentum to maintain (or exceed) a 28% alternative mode-use
rate for this project.
Through monitoring efforts, such as the annual survey of employees to determine
transportation mode split, the project will be able to better focus transportation
coordination efforts and encourage tenant employees to use alternative transportation.
The first mode-use survey report will be submitted to the City of South San Francisco
after one year of occupancy.
2.0 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT GOALS
The basic premise of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is the maximum
utilization of existing transportation resources. The City of South San Francisco, as is
typical of other urban areas in the United States, has billions of dollars invested in
roadway infrastructure, and hundreds of millions of dollars invested in public transit
infrastructure. The goal of TDM is to more efficiently and economically take advantage
of these major capital investments.
The following are three basic goals that can be achieved through effective utilization of
TDM measures:
1) Convert trips to an alternative mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpools or
vanpools, bicycling)
2) Provide technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid
vehicles, or other zero emission vehicles)
3) Eliminate trips (e.g., compressed work weeks, telecommute)
Until recently in the United States, the answer to relieving congestion on roads, and in
parking structures, was to build more roads and parking structures (similar in concept
to building another manufacturing plant to expand productivity on levels). Current
economics and limited resources affect the ability to build and maintain more roads or
parking structures. This reality necessitates better utilization of the existing
transportation infrastructure (similar to adding a second shift at an existing plant). To
this end, TDM measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative
transportation options.
The measures and programs outlined in this plan support and meet the 28% trip
reduction goal as identified in by the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance
1300- 2001.
III The Hoyt Company
Page I
681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19, 2006
Using the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance guidelines, the estimated
number of trips needed to meet a 28% reduction for the number of employees estimated
to occupy the project is 87.
Estimated Total Employees 310
Trip Reduction Requirement 28%
Total Number of Peak Trip Credits Required 87
This TDM Plan also meets many requirements of the Revised C/CAG Guidelines for the
Implementation of the Land Use Program approved by the City / County Association of
Governments (C/CAG) of San Mateo County in September 2004. Trip credits identified
in this Final TDM Plan for the 681 Gateway Boulevard project total 282. At 28%, this is
the equivalent of 141 alternative commuters or more than 500 employees. The C/CAG
accounting of all trip credits applicable in this updated Preliminary TDM Plan is
provided in Exhibit B.
3.0 EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT EAST OF HIGHWAY 101
According to the Commute Profile 2005 Regional Report, prepared by RIDES for Bay
Area Commuters, Inc., the San Mateo County alternative mode-use rate is
approximately 29% with the Bay Area regional rate comprising approximately 34%
alternative modes. The larger Bay Area alternative mode use rate is indicative of paid
parking in the more urban core areas, whereas parking is free or much less expensive in
many areas of San Mateo County (e.g. the City of South San Francisco).
The 2005 Employee Transportation Survey conducted by the Peninsula Traffic
Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance) identified the San Mateo County alternative
mode-use rate at 29.9%. The overall alternative mode-use rate for the City of South San
Francisco was identified at 30.2%.
In Fall 2005, an employee commute survey was conducted at a similar employment site
in South San Francisco at Britannia Oyster Point. Results from the survey indicated an
alternative commute mode rate of 35%. However, it should be noted that this nearby
employment site offers employee commute subsidies that enhance their alternative
mode-use performance.
Table 1 shows the comparison of alternative mode-use rates for the Bay Area Region,
County of San Mateo, City of South San Francisco and a similar employer site.

Based on current and historical alternative mode use data for the South San Francisco
and East of Highway 101 business areas, an example estimated employee alternative
mode-use distribution was calculated. This estimate reflects the TDM measures
described in this plan but does not assume that commute subsidies are provided. Table
2 shows the various alternative transportation modes estimated for a life science tenant
at the 681 Gateway Boulevard project.

The implementation of TDM measures identified in this plan will result in an estimated
28% alternative mode use rate representing approximately 87 employees from a total of
310. This sample scenario provides a distribution example of employee alternative
transportation choices, depicting a typical workweek day, for the 681 Gateway
Boulevard project. The actual distribution of transportation modes could vary and will
be identified in survey results.

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is a 3.04-acre project owned by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
(Alexandria) in the City of South San Francisco located south of the U.S. Highway 101
in South San Francisco in an area that is known as the birthplace of the biotechnology
industry.
The project is a Class-A office/laboratory and commercial campus containing 125,000
square-feet. The proposed construction consists of a four-story building and is intended
to accommodate life science and office tenants.
The project is designed to maximize opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle, carpool,
transit and shuttle connectivity. Thirty-five carpool parking spaces are planned with
one space designated for a vanpool. Six Class I bicycle lockers and four bicycle racks
will be provided at the building for bicycle commuters at no charge to employees.
Showers and lockers will also be provided for bicycle, pedestrian and other alternative
commuters. Shuttle services to BART and Caltrain are located directly in back of the
project. Nearby food service, access to banking, and the Bay Trails bicycle trails facility
help create a more self sufficient development in order to reduce the number of trips
made daily to and from the campus.
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 1.0. No increase or bonus FAR is requested eliminating
the need for more stringent employee surveys or triennial reporting.
Parking will be provided at a ratio of 2.83 cars per 1,000 square-feet. Approximately 359
surface vehicle parking spaces are planned for the site, a 15.5% reduction from city
code.
A TDM site plan is provided on page 5. This site plan shows the location of preferential
parking, bicycle facilities, pedestrian connections and direct routes to transit. It also
depicts the location of showers and lockers, information kiosks and the recreational
greenbelt.

5.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT
5.1 Parking Supply
There will be a total of 359 surface parking spaces.
The ability and willingness to rideshare is directly linked to parking availability. By not
providing an overabundance of parking spaces at full build out, the project is laying the
groundwork for successful promotion of alternative transportation. Preferential parking
spaces placed near the building entrances (within 100 feet of building entrances) are an
excellent incentive that sends a clear visual message to employees and the community
that alternative transportation is important.
The City parking code for this type of project is one space for each 250 square feet for
the first 50,000 square feet and 3/1,000 square feet thereafter for the remaining 75,000
square feet. The 681 Gateway Boulevard project is proposing a 2.83/1,000 square-feet
parking ratio. This is a 15.5% reduction in on-site parking. Table 3 shows the reduction
of parking for the project.

However, all employees will be provided with free parking which may encourage drive
alone usage.
5.2 Free Parking for Carpool and Vanpools and Clean Fuel Vehicles
Parking will be free for all carpool, vanpool and clean-fuel vehicle participants.
5.3 Preferential Carpool and Vanpool Parking
One effective means of encouraging employees to rideshare and/ or use a clean-fuel
vehicle is to reserve the most preferred parking spaces for the exclusive use of carpools
and vanpools. These preferred parking spaces will be designated with signage and
pavement striping.
Upon completion of this project, a minimum of 10% of surface parking will be
designated for carpool, vanpool, and clean-fuel vehicles. The project will provide 35
carpool parking spaces and one vanpool space in premium, convenient locations (i.e.,
close to buildings, in the shade, etc.) within 100 feet of the building entrance. These
preferential parking spaces will be specially signed and/ or striped and may require
employee registration and permitting.

681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19,2006
5.4 Passenger Loading Zones
In order to facilitate disembarking and embarking of rideshare passengers, passenger
loading / unloading areas will be provided. Passenger loading zones for carpool and
vanpool drop off will be located on the east side of the building and along adjacent to
the 681 Gateway Boulevard site as a shared amenity with neighboring buildings.
5.5 Motorcycle Parking
A secure area will be provided for motorcycle parking.
6.0 CARPOOL AND VANPOOL RIDE MATCHING SERVICE
Regional Rideshare Program's Ridematch Service, via 511.org and the Alliance provide
free car and vanpool matching services. On-site employer contacts will promote the on-
line 511 service directly to employees on a regular basis and allow the Alliance to solicit
carpool sign-up at on-site employer events such as annual Transportation Fairs,
Wellness or Benefits events, etc. Tenant/employer contacts can also research employee
ZIP code data from Human Resource records and offer to match up employees who live
near each other.
Car and vanpooling will be strongly encouraged at the 681 Gateway Boulevard project.
The Employee Transportation Flyer promotes the free personalized matching assistance
through the 511 Rideshare and Alliance programs. This car and vanpool ridematching
service provides individuals with a computerized list of other commuters near their
employment or residential ZIP code, along with the closest cross street, phone number,
and hours they are available to commute to and from work. Individuals are then able
to select and contact others with whom they wish to car or vanpool. They will also be
given a list of existing car and vanpools in their residential area that they may be able to
join if vacancies exist.
The 511 system gives commuters the information they need to make more informed
choices when planning trips. By calling in or logging on, commuters can get up-to-the-
minute information about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing,
and bicycling anytime, anywhere throughout the greater Bay Area Region and northern
California.
The 511 system offers one-stop shopping for traffic, transit, rideshare and bicycle
information in the region. The nine-county system is the first 511 service to go online in
California. It provides links to 511 systems in Sacramento, Oregon and Nevada and is
available from any phone, provided the carrier supports 511. Most counties in the
region have wireless and landline access to the service through major carriers.
7.0 TRANSIT
Caltrain, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and SamTrans provide transit service to South
San Francisco in close proximity to the project site. A Commuter Shuttle service from
III The Hoyt Company
Page 7
681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19, 2006
San Francisco and shuttle services from the South San Francisco BART, Glen Park BART
and Caltrain Stations provide direct links for transit riders to the 681 Gateway project
site.
7.1 Direct Route to Transit
A well-lit pedestrian path will be provided from the building, utilizing the most direct
route, to the nearest shuttle stop at the Gateway project site.
7.2 Shuttle Services to 681 Gateway Boulevard
Extensive shuttle services are provided at the 681 Gateway Boulevard site. A Gateway
Area Caltrain and two BART shuttles offer 23 peak a.m. trips and 24 peak p.m. trips for
employees. Daily shuttle service totals 47 trips. All Gateway area shuttles are equipped
with bicycle racks. Working with the Alliance, the project utilizes a free lunch-time
shuttle service via the Downtown Dasher.
The Gateway Area BART shuttle circulates between the South San Francisco BART
station and the project at 30-minute frequencies. There are currently a total of 16 BART
shuttle trips to and from the project site. A San Francisco Glen Park BART shuttle
provides 15-30 minute frequencies and offers 16 weekday trips.
The Gateway Area Caltrain shuttle service circulates between the South San Francisco
Caltrain Station and the project during the morning and evening peaks at 15, 20 and 45-
minute frequencies. Fifteen (15) Caltrain shuttle trips provide connecting service to and
from the project site.
Table 4 shows the number of shuttle trips provided to the project site for connectivity to
the San Francisco and South San Francisco BART and Caltrain stations.

7.3 Shuttle/Bus Stops
Shuttle drop-off and pick-up locations for commuter service, BART and Caltrain are
located on-site at the 681 Gateway site. Employees can access the shuttle directly from
their building.
7.4 Caltrain
Caltrain operates a frequent fixed-route commuter rail service seven days a week
between San Francisco and San Jose, as well as limited service to and from Gilroy on
weekdays. Caltrain operates on 15 to 30 minute frequencies during the peak periods in
the morning and evening. Midday service operates approximately every hour. Service
is less frequent during weekends, and holidays.
Caltrain service is available approximately .66 of a mile from the project at the South
San Francisco station located at 590 Dubuque Avenue and Grand Avenue. The
Gateway Area Caltrain Shuttle provides connecting service to the project site.
Caltrain services were enhanced in 2004 to add express trains during peak hours.
However, this new service does not provide an express stop to the South San Francisco
Caltrain Station and hence will not benefit employees at the 681 Gateway Boulevard
project.
7.5 Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
BART is a 92.7-mile, 43-station automated rapid transit system located along five lines
of double track. Trains traveling up to 80 mph connect San Francisco to Colma and
other East Bay communities - north to Richmond, east to Pittsburg/Bay Point, west to
Dublin/Pleasanton, and south to Fremont. Service is scheduled every 15 minutes
during peak periods. Service during Holidays, and weekends are modified.
BART-to-the-Airport expanded the system by 8.7 miles along the peninsula from Colma
to a new intermodal station in Millbrae. Four new stations were created including the
South San Francisco Station located between EI Camino Real and Mission Road to the
south of Hickey Boulevard. The South San Francisco BART Station is 2.84 miles from
the project site. The San Francisco Glen Park Station is 8.14 miles from the project site.
7.6 SamTrans
SamTrans provides bus service throughout San Mateo County, with connections to the
Colma, Daly City, and South San Francisco BART stations, San Francisco International
Airport, peninsula Caltrain stations and downtown San Francisco.
The system connects with San Francisco Muni, AC Transit and Golden Gate Transit at
San Francisco's Transbay Terminal, with the Dumbarton Express and with Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority in Menlo Park and Palo Alto.
There is no direct SamTrans service east of Highway 101 area. SamTrans service does
connect at the South San Francisco BART Station and subsequently the Gateway Area
III The Hoyt Company
Page 10
681 Gateway Boulevard TOM Plan
May 19, 2006
Shuttle Service that drops off and picks up at the 681 Gateway Boulevard site.
SamTrans does not provide a direct connection to the South San Francisco Caltrain
Station, however; Routes 130, 292, 133, and 132 are within approximately 1/4 mile
walking distance from this station and the connecting shuttle services to the project site.
7.7 Downtown Dasher Taxi Service
This free taxi service provides an 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. pick-up service throughout the
East Highway 101 business parks in South San Francisco. Using existing shuttle stops,
taxis drop off riders at locations in the downtown retail area. The Downtown Dasher,
operated by the Peninsula Yellow Cab of South San Francisco and managed by the
Alliance, requires an employer provided voucher and a trip reservation before
10:00 a.m. This midday service is currently free to participating employers. A detailed
Downtown Dasher flyer is provided as an attachment.
7.8 Ferry Service
Currently, no scheduled water transit service exists in the South San Francisco area.
Water transit service to South San Francisco is anticipated by September 2009. Prior to
this service becoming operational, employees will be given a link to this resource.
8.0 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES
8.1 Pedestrian Connections
A safe, convenient and well-lit pedestrian path is provided, utilizing the most direct
route, to the nearest shuttle stop at the project. Lighting, landscaping and building
orientation is designed to enhance pedestrian safety.
8.2 Bicycle Parking - Long-Term and Short-Term
Free Class I and Class II bicycle parking facilities will be provided on-site as follows:
· Commercial, R&D, and office uses: one bicycle space for every 50 vehicle
spaces required.
· Restaurants, retail: one bicycle space for every 50 vehicle spaces required.
Six Class I (long-term) bicycle lockers or a covered, enclosed, secure area will be
provided to enhance the viability for bicycle commuters. These Class I bicycle lockers
and four Class II bicycle racks will be placed at the building. Gateway Boulevard is a
designated bike route with lower traffic volumes. Table 5 shows the recommended and
total number of bicycle facilities for the proposed project. This level of bicycle parking
slightly exceeds the City's required parking levels.
Note: The Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance provides a 50% match for the costs of
purchasing and installing any bike parking, from basic racks to high security lockers, up to a
maximum of $500 per unit.

All bicycle parking and facilities will be located in convenient, safe and well-lit areas
with maximum space for the ingress and egress of bicycles.
8.3 Bicycle Connections
The project has good connections to regional bicycle facilities, including the San
Francisco Bay Trail. The Bay Trail is a network of multi-use pathways circling San
Francisco and San Pablo Bays. The ultimate route is planned to be a 400-mile route
through nine Bay Area counties and 42 shoreline cities. The trail provides commuters
an exceptional pathway to bicycle or walk to work in the South San Francisco Area. A
map of surrounding bikeways is provided on page 13.
8.4 Bicycle Resources
Free Bike Buddy matching, bicycle maps and resources are provided via the 511 system.
Bicycle commuters looking to find a riding partner can log-on to bicycling.511.org for
more information.
The Alliance provides a free one-hour, on-site Bike and Pedestrian Safety Program for
employees. This workshop teaches commuters about bicycling and walking as a safe,
stress-relieving commute mode; traffic laws for bicyclists and pedestrians; bicycle
maintenance tips; and offers a drawing for free bicycle-related prizes. A program flyer
is provided as an attachment.

8.5 Shower and Clothes Lockers
Showers and clothing lockers will be installed for the use of employees walking and / or
biking to work and others who wish to change after commuting via alternative
transportation. Two showers (one for each gender) and 16 locker facilities are
recommended for installation in the building.
Shower and locker facilities will be provided free of charge for all employees. Table 6
shows the number of proposed shower and locker facilities planned for the project.

9.0 EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR
The 681 Gateway Boulevard project will provide a Employee Transportation
Coordinator (ETC) who will have the primary responsibility for implementing this
Plan. The ETC may be a part time or outsourced coordinator who manages the TDM
Program. The ETC will be responsible for providing employee commute program
assistance to tenants and employees, producing on-site transportation fairs and
promotional events, collaborating with the Alliance to maximize employer resources,
conducting the annual survey and producing the triennial report. TDM industry data
supports that having an ETC has a very positive impact on increasing alternative mode-
use. This position will be filled by:
Name:
Mr. Nathan Byerly
Employee Transportation Programs Manager
Genentech Transportation Department
Address:
1 DNA Way
South San Francisco, CA 94080-4990
Phone:
(650) 225-8285
The ETC will provide the following services:
· Promote trip reduction and air quality strategies to employees at the
project site.
III The Hoyt Company
Page 14
681 Gateway Boulevard TOM Plan
May 19, 2006
· Be the main point of contact for employer contacts and employees
wanting to commute using an alternative.
· Conduct annual employee surveys and provide reports to the City of
South San Francisco, which will include commute patterns, mode splits,
and TDM program success (process includes: annual surveying of
employees, tabulation of data, and provision of results in report format).
· Evaluate survey results for alternative transportation potential and / or
changes to current program.
· Catalog all existing incentives that encourage employees to utilize
alternative transportation programs.
· Work with local agencies such as Caltrain, SamTrans, BART, the Alliance,
511 and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and post
informational materials on the transportation kiosks in employee common
areas, as well as disperse alternative program information to employees
via designated employer contacts, posters, flyers, banners, campus
newsletter, new employee orientation, etc.
· Participate in the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
Spare the Air program. Spare the Air day notices will be forwarded to
employees to encourage not driving to work alone.
· Coordinate and manage various aspects of the plan that require periodic
updating or monitoring, such as the GRH program, carpool and vanpool
registration, parking enforcement, locker assignment and enforcement.
9.1 Designated Employer Contact
The developer will require a designated employer contact to be identified for all future
tenants/ occupants. The designated tenant/ employer contact will be the official contact
for the 681 Gateway Boulevard TDM program described in this plan. The designated
employer contact will maintain on-site TDM programs and employee outreach,
administrate the annual surveys and provide information continuity for the
developer /landlord and the City of South San Francisco.
9.2 Employee Transportation Flyer
At the time of move-in, the tenant will distribute an Employee Transportation Flyer to
all employees commuting to the project site. All subsequent new employees will also
receive the flyer and TMD benefits and program training. This flyer will include (but
not be limited to) information about carpool parking, transit opportunities, shuttle
services, bicycle routes and GRH information. A sample flyer is provided as an
attachment.
III The Hoyt Company
Page IS
681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19, 2006
9.3 Promotional Programs
The future tenant prior to occupancy will host a pre-move Transportation Fair or
promotional campaign, with a heavy emphasis on carpooling, transit and shuttle
resources. Throughout the year, maintain employee awareness by hosting other
transportation fairs or coordinating with other employee events such as Wellness Fair,
Benefits Fair or other annual company events. As lunch-time events, these fairs will
highlight transit and trip-planning services and rideshare matching and other commute
opportunities at the new site. The Transportation Fairs will bring together transit and
transportation providers (Caltrain, BART, SamTrans, the Alliance), bicycle advocates,
ridematching organizations (511), and the Employee Commute Program for a
comprehensive presentation.
Other events and promotions on-site at the project may include Bike to Work Week,
Caltrain Day, Rideshare Thursday's or a comprehensive transportation/ commute fair.
Various transit and rideshare organizations will be invited to set up a marketing booth
during lunch-time at a central location at the building during the year to promote the
alternative commute options available to employees. Free trial transit passes will be
available for first time riders. Periodic on-site tabling would also be recommended
throughout the year.
9.4 Transportation Information for Visitors and Applicants
Tenants will provide visitors and applicants with transportation alternatives and
information via the company Web site or on-site transportation kiosks.
10.0 AL TERNA TIVE COMMUTE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES
Tenants at the 681 Gateway Boulevard will be encouraged to offer their employees
some form of alternative commute incentive. Incentives may include a pre-tax, payroll
deduction (Commuter Choice) for transit and vanpool users, transit subsidies and/ or
commute subsidies.
The Commuter Choice option is a tax-free salary payroll deduction of up to $105 per
month per employee, for vanpool and rail transit pass fares through a voucher program
(Commuter Check). An employee can deduct up to $1,260 a year from their salary as a
pretax payroll deduction. This program encourages non-drive alone commute trips.
Transit or commute subsidies can be a set dollar amount or a percentage of the monthly
costs of transportation. Employment sites that offer transit or commute subsidies
generally tend to have higher levels of alternative mode-use. Subsidies can be provided
in tandem with the pre-tax option.
11.0 GUARANTEED RIDE HOME PROGRAM
The tenant will be required to participate in the GRH program managed by the
Alliance. The lease agreement will identify the process for the employer to register for
this program with the Alliance. The Alliance covers 75% of the cost for GRH services.
III The Hoyt Company
Page 16
681 Gateway Boulevard TOM Plan
May 19, 2006
The employer pays the remaining 25% cost. A sample Alliance GRH program flyer is
provided as an attachment.
All employees who commute to work using transit, bicycle, or by carpool or vanpool,
will be guaranteed a ride home in the case of a personal emergency, or when they
unexpectedly have to work late thereby missing the last bus, or their normal carpool
home. The GRH program has proven very successful as it removes one of the major
objections employees have to giving up their private automobile, especially those with
young families.
The GRH program provides employees with a security blanket, a feeling of reassurance
that if a child becomes ill or injured during the day the employee can get to them
quickly. If employees need to work late and miss their bus or carpool, or if their
vanpool breaks down, they are guaranteed a ride home. Employers in California have
shown an increase in ridesharing from 15% to 20% when a GRH program is made
available to their employees.
12.0 FLEXTIME
In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need special
consideration regarding start and end times of work. For example, if an employee's
workplace opens at 9:00 a.m. The carpool drops the employee off at 8:45 a.m., and
he / she must wait until the building is opened. Many employees would drive alone
given those conditions. Flextime allows the employer to adjust business open and close
times to facilitate the use of alternative commute modes.
The 681 Gateway Boulevard project will encourage that tenant(s) provide flextime to
employees who desire to commute via alternative transportation rather than the Single
Occupant Vehicle (SOV). Project buildings will be open and accessible in the early
morning and early evening hours to support an active flextime program.
13.0 TELECOMMUTING
Telecommuting will be a viable option for employees at the 681 Gateway project.
Tenant-employers will be encouraged to write telecommuting policies. If requested,
tenants will be provided with information on the benefits of telecommuting.
The fiber optic network and infrastructure to support telecommuting is available in the
street and is available to building tenants. The project proponent will ensure all
buildings are "fiber ready". If the tenants so choose to connect to the fiber network,
these wires allow multiple data transmissions over phone/ cable lines and will speed
data transmission for the businesses in the project. Provision of this equipment is a part
of ensuring that telecommuters enjoy fast, smooth data transmission between their
workplace and telework office.
Telecommuting involves the use of telephones and computers to enable an employee to
work off-site or outside of the traditional work place. It can mean working at home or
III The Hoyt Company
Page 17
681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19, 2006
at a telecenter. Many employers look at telecommuting as a way to reduce work-space
demand.
Telecommuting, used as a tool to reduce the cost of doing business and employee
commute trips, has proven to be very effective. The secondary and related benefits
include recruitment and retention value, reduced sick time and absenteeism, improved
productivity and morale, and reduced stress. The benefits mentioned above focus on
employers and employees, but telecommuting will also reduce our energy consumption
relating to commuting, vehicle miles traveled, and mobile source emissions.
14.0 INFORMATION BOARD/KIOSK
Two information boards or kiosks will be located in the building in a common
gathering area (e.g. lobby, employee entrance, break or lunch room). The kiosks will
contain transportation information, including GRH information, transit and shuttle
schedules, SamTrans, Caltrain, BART, Downtown Dasher, 511 ridematching and other
related information. Information will be updated periodically by the ETC or designated
employer contact. Kiosks can be wall-mounted or free-standing, rotating units.
15.0 ON-SITE AND NEARBY PROJECT AMENITIES
On-site amenities provide employees with a full-service work environment. Eliminating
the need for an automobile to make midday trips increases non-drive alone rates. Many
times, employees perceive that they are dependent upon the drive-alone mode because
of the number of errands and activities that must be carried out in different locations.
By reducing this dependence through the provision of services and facilities at the work
site, an increase in alternative mode usage for commute-based trips should be realized.
15.1 Cafe
A cafe and bakery is located within walking distance of the project site at 701 Gateway
Boulevard, which serves breakfast, lunch and offers catering services. This cafe is
operated by a private vendor and is available to employees and the general public.
15.2 Child Care
The nearby Peninsula Family YMCA, a branch of the YMCA of San Francisco, offers a
Child-Care-only Facility at 559 Gateway Boulevard. The Peninsula Family YMCA
Gateway Child Care Center has a capacity for 100 children and is open to infants,
toddlers and preschool children ages 3 months to 6 years, 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
15.3 Recreational Facilities
A greenbelt area will be incorporated at the 681 Gateway Boulevard site as part of the
project construction. This greenbelt area will offer project employees a recreational area
for walking, meditation or picnicking.
m The Hoyt Company
Page 18
681 Gateway Boulevard TDM Plan
May 19, 2006
The nearby Bay Trails project provides bicycle connectivity for commuters and
recreational users. The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete,
will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of
bicycling and hiking trails. It will connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties,
link 47 cities, and cross the major toll bridges in the region. To date, approximately 240
miles of the alignment-over half the Bay Trail's ultimate length-have been
completed.l
16.0 KICK-OFF EVENT
Upon 75% occupancy, the tenant will host a commute alternative kick-off
event/ celebration or a targeted marketing campaign to highlight the available
commuter resources. Transportation service providers, such as BART, SamTrans,
Caltrain, and the Alliance, will be invited to set-up exhibit booths/tables. To encourage
employee participation in the event, the tenant will provide food, such as popcorn, hot
dogs and refreshments, and give-a-ways, such as commuter mugs, water bottles,
t-shirts, etc. The tenant will set the date for the event and advertise the event at least
two weeks in advance.
17.0 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are typically private, nonprofit
organizations run by a voluntary Board of Directors with typically a small staff. They
help businesses, developers, building owners, local government representatives, and
others, work together to collectively establish policies, programs and services to address
local transportation problems. The key to a successful TMA lies in the synergism of
multiple groups banding together to address and accomplish more than any single
employer, building operator, developer, or resident could do alone.
In South San Francisco, the Alliance operates as a TMA organization. The Alliance
provides:
· Shuttle programs
· Carpool and vanpool matching
· Parking management programs
· Trial transit passes
· Emergency ride home programs
· Enhanced bicycle facilities
· Car and vanpool incentives
· Transit advocacy
· Information on local issues
· Teleworking
· Training
· Marketing programs
· Promotional assistance
· Newsletter
The tenant will register in the Alliance GRH program for their employees and to use the
resources and services available. Participating with the Alliance is a valuable asset for
project tenants. The Alliance is a clearinghouse for information about alternative
commute programs, incentives, and transportation projects affecting San Mateo County
businesses.

18.0 MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT
18.1 Annual Employee Commute Survey and Reporting
An employee commute survey will be a critically important part of the monitoring
process to determine the success or failure of TDM measures. An employee survey will
be distributed and collected by the tenant-ETC and/or designated employer
representatives. The survey will be designed to collect quantitative data (e.g., mode
split) and qualitative data (e.g., employee perception of the alternative transportation
programs). The survey may be conducted via cordon counts/ a statistical sampling or
all employees may be surveyed. If all employees are surveyed, the target response rate
will be 50% plus one to create a statistically valid survey. The tenant will be strongly
encouraged to support and participate in the promotion and marketing of the annual
employee survey. Lease language will identify this requirement for tenant cooperation.
Survey data may then be used to focus TDM marketing and the efforts of the ETC. The
TDM program could be re-tooled, if necessary, to maintain the project's 28% alterative
commute use rate and commitment at the site. For example, employees may express a
desire for transit subsidies that individual employers / tenants may wish to provide as
an added employee commute benefit.
A summary report based on results from the employee commute survey will be
submitted to the City of South San Francisco. As per the May 22, 2002 Conditions of
Approval, a triennual TDM survey report will also be provided to the City of South San
Francisco.
18.2 Lease Language
The developer will draft lease language for all tenants that require the designated
employer contact, compliance and implementation of the TDM program (including
annual survey and reporting, and registration in the Alliance Guaranteed Ride Home
Program). The lease language will also identify the tenant's potential penalties for
failure to achieve the 28% alternative mode-use rate, failure to participate in the annual
employee commute survey, or failure to submit the annual report as identified by the
City of South San Francisco.
The lease language will be worded similarly:
Tenant hereby agrees to designate one of its employees to act as a liaison with Landlord to
facilitate and coordinate such programs as may be required by governmental agencies to reduce
the traffic generated by the 681 Gateway Boulevards project as required by the City of South San
Francisco as part of conditions of approval and to encourage the use of public transportation and
ridesharing.

19.0 CONCLUSION
The developer and tenant are committed to achieve and maintain a 28% employee
alternative mode-use at the proposed project. This TDM Plan provides the details of
their commitment to the City of South San Francisco.
By balancing air quality with economic growth, the 681 Gateway Boulevard project will
help South San Francisco thrive as a community. It is projects like these that will
contribute to South San Francisco's future livelihood.
The 681 Gateway Boulevard project supports the policies of focusing clustered
development along transportation corridors (Highway 101 and 1-280), and transit
corridors (Caltrain and BART).
In order to be part of the transportation solution, this project contains the density and
critical mass necessary to encourage the use of all alternative modes of transportation
including bicycling, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit.

Transportation Demand Management Program
-An overview-
a. Alexandria Real Estate Equities ("Alexandria") is committed to being a good
neighbor in the community and understands the importance of minimizing
environmental impacts in the South San Francisco Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes
Industrial Park. Alexandria realizes that informing tenants of the alternative
methods of commuting available will lead to reductions in congestion and
pollution and have a positive contribution to the community. Alexandria desires to
attract and retain excellent tenants, offer an attractive worksite, as well as a
creative, productive, and comfortable environment for its employees. Alexandria
is committed to encourage and assist tenants to develop and utilize an extensive
and innovative, Transportation Demand Management Program.
b. Alexandria shall require all tenants to designate at least one employee as a
TOM "point of contact" representative within their respective company.
Alexandria shall coordinate the training of such personnel. Alexandria will also
designate an Alexandria representative to serve as a resource to each tenant-
appointed TOM personnel. Such representative will be available via telephone or
email to assist with commute questions, concerns, or transit service problems.
This employee will prepare historical surveyed commute records for annual
submission of a TOM Report to the City of South San Francisco Planning
Department. All new tenants and their employees shall be required to participate
in a "new employee orientation program". Most importantly, this program will
explain the importance of trip reduction methods and their benefits to the
community. The program orientation will also address the TOM mission
statement, alternative commute options, provide transit schedules, maps, and
offer free ride matching services. All new employees shall complete a commuter
survey indicating the modes of commuting available, and what their expected
mode would be.
c. Alexandria will promote the use of the existing Gateway Shuttle Bus System,
and the use of public transit modes of travel. These commuter shuttles operate
during peak commute hours to the South San Francisco CalTrain Station, and to
the San Francisco Glen Park Bart Station. Appropriate areas shall be designated
for passenger loading, as well as adequate sheltered waiting areas, such as the
building lobby.
d. Alexandria will advocate to its tenants the use of the Alliance "Emergency Ride
Home" program. This allows employees who utilize alternative forms of
commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to four times per year via
taxicabs or rental cars. Alexandria will assist tenants in procuring grant monies
available for such programs.
e. Alexandria will encourage its tenants to sponsor taxi vouchers for the
transportation of employees for medical appointments, during regular business
hours. A typical program would apply to round trip transportation, (20 miles each
way), up to two times per year. This is an incentive to not bring a vehicle to work
(or to use one).
f. Per the Commuter Check Program, pre tax payroll deductions will allow up to
$100.00 per month for public transit passes, and the expense for participating in
vanpools. In addition, Alexandria will encourage its tenants to subsidize and
match each additional dollar for this program up to $50.00 per month, per
participant.
g. Van pools will be provided by tenants, as an attractive method of commuting.
Vanpools will be established, subject to economic feasibility and employee
participation. Alexandria will reimburse the primary and secondary drivers for
required medical exams. Dedicated "preferential parking" areas will be provided
in highly visible and signed, areas. Passenger loading areas shall be designated.
h. Bicycling will be a viable commute option. Alexandria will require its tenants to
include shower facilities within their buildings to help promote cycling as an
alternate commute option. Alexandria will designate specific common area
locations within the project for bicycle lockers or racks. Alexandria will also
petition existing shuttle operators to include equipment on transit shuttles to
accommodate bicycles. Common bicycle and transit commute routes will be
shared and published.
i. Alexandria will designate secure areas for motorcycles. These signed areas will
be equipped with methods of impact protection from moving vehicular traffic.
j. Alexandria will supply tenants with information to assist them in developing a
formal telecommuting program to be available for selected employees;
dependent upon position and specific work requirements. This information will
include "how to" instructions, including sample contracts between management
and employees, feedback mechanisms, with ergonomics, insurance and worker's
compensation issues.
k. Taxicab vouchers will be made available by tenants for local business
transportation, including travel to and from the S.F.O. International Airport. Visitor
promotional materials will be available to promote the use of public transit to /
from SFO Airport. Tenants will be encouraged to subsidize one-way taxi rides as
incentives. Taxi loading zones will be designated.
I. The S.S.F. Downtown Dasher program will be promoted for mid day travel to
the downtown area.
m. Tenants will be required to provide visitors and job applicants with the local
public transportation options, shuttle schedules, and transit maps for the area, to
encourage the use of public transit.
n. Alexandria will expedite through the tenant TDM "point of contact" personnel,
empl,oyee surveys to determine current modes of commuting. The surveys will be
conducted via e-mail, or other acceptable methods of communication.
Non-responses to commute surveys are to be counted as "drive alone".
o. Tenants will be encouraged to participate in the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District's "Spare the Air" program during unhealthy weather
conditions. Participants will be requested to not drive to work alone, and seek
other methods of commuting. Enrollment will be via the BAAQMD Web page, and
a "Spare the Air Day' notification will be sent via e-mail, as soon as it is
forecasted. Participation in other local ride share promotions throughout the year,
will also be encouraged.
p. Alexandria will make an annual financial contribution to RIDES For Bay Area
Commuters, "Ride Your Bike to Work Week", promotion, to help promote bicycle
commuting.
q. Chartering of busses for group activities and off site meetings will be
encouraged. Services provided by tenants will include booking, group discounts,
invoicing, and special services, as needed.
r. At the time that commuter Bay Ferry Services are available, Alexandria will
investigate including commuter transportation links to the proposed Oyster Point
Ferry Terminal.

Transportation Demand Management Program
for
Alexandria Real Estate Equities
681 Gateway Boulevard Project
South San Francisco, California
Alexandria is committed to developing an environmentally conscious project
complete with an effective Transportation Demand Management (TOM) program.
Alexandria will encourage its tenants to consider the program as part of a
comprehensive benefit package designed to attract and retain quality employees.
Alexandria will educate tenants about commuting alternatives in efforts to foster
increased community awareness.
The proposed full project build out population based on laboratory and office
R&O use, is approximately 310 employees, in one building, for a total project of
125,000 square feet. (2.5 employees per 1,000 square feet). A surface parking
lot with 357 spaces is also part of this development.
Projected individual element goals are based on the level of employee
participation (28%, or 88 employees) utilizing available commute alternatives. It
is anticipated that the level of employee participation will increase over time, due
to the expanded TOM program efforts and incentives offered to employees.
This enhanced TOM Program identifies the methods that will meet, and exceed
the requirement of 28 %commute trip reduction.
This project is intended to be developed in one construction phase, with 125,000
square feet, occupied during 2004.
A. PROGRAM ELEMENTS:
1. New employees shall be required to participate in a new employee orientation
program. This program will explain the TOM Mission Statement, explain
alternative commute options, and provide transit schedules, maps, and offer free
ride matching services to encourage the formation of carpools. All new
employees wil! complete an "Initial Commuter Survey". The survey will ask new
employees to select their expected mode(s) of transportation from a list of
commuting options available to the project. This method has been proven to be a
very effective means to promote alternative commute patterns, before new
employees commuting habits are established. Passenger drop off and loading
areas shall be designated. Carpools shall have a minimum of ten percent of the
preferential parking areas in the garages.
Carpools:
Program goal: 28
Total element goal: 28
2. The program will effectively promote the use of the existing Gateway Shuttle
Bus System, and the use of mixed public transit modes. Commuter shuttles
operate during peak commute hours to the South San Francisco CalTrain
Station, and to the San Francisco Glen Park Bart Station. The shuttle provider
has confirmed that capacity and willingness to accommodate additional users
should not be a problem. Employer operated shuttles connecting to public transit
have been identified as the most effective marketing method of attracting
passengers to public transit systems. (Source: SamTrans and CalTrain 20 year
marketing plans). Shuttle shelters will be included, as appropriate.
Shuttles:
Program goal: 31
Total element goal: 31
(Additional daytime trips are also saved utilizing available alternative
transportation modes, for lunches, errands, and medical appointments, although
not part of these figures).
3. The program will advocate to its tenants the use of the Peninsula Congestion
Relief Alliance's "Emergency Ride Home" program. This allows employees who
utilize alternative forms of commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to
four times per year via taxicabs or rental cars. (50% grant matching funds are
available to the employers that participate in this program). These types of
programs have been identified as the number one incentive for employees to
rideshare. Employers have seen increases of 15-20% in ridesharing when this
type of program is offered to employees (Source: RIDES 1999 Commute
Survey). This program will promote an increased use of alternative transit,
however some employees will already be using these modes. It is a deciding
factor in not driving alone, and a valuable method to deal with the unknown
urgent need for an employee to quickly get home for emergencies.
ERH:
Phase 1
Program goal: 8% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit.
Total element goal: 8% Indirect program benefit
4. Alexandria will encourage tenants to provide transportation for employee
medical appointments, during regular business hours, via taxi vouchers, for a
round trip, up to two times per year. This is an incentive to not bring a vehicle to
work.
Phase 1
Program goal: 1 % of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit
Total element goal: 1 % Indirect program benefit
5.Per the Commuter Check Program, pre tax payroll deductions will allow the
employee up to $100.00 per month for public transit passes, and the expense for
participating in vanpools. In addition, Alexandria will encourage its tenants to
subsidize and match this program up to $ 50.00 per month, per participant.
Transit pass subsidies of as little as $15.00 per month has shown a significant
increase in monthly commute pass sales in other areas of the state. (Source: The
Hoyt Company).
Phase 1
Program goal: 5% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit
Total element goal: 5% Indirect program benefit
6. Vanpools will be provided by tenants, as an attractive method of commuting.
Vanpools will be established, and subsidized, subject to economic feasibility and
employee participation. Alexandria will reimburse the primary and secondary
drivers for required medical exams. Advertising methods such as "wrapping" the
van pools may subsidize some of the operating expenses. Dedicated "preferential
parking" areas will be provided in highly visible areas. Subsidies for vanpools by
employers, is the most desired factor in deciding to vanpool (Source: RIDES
2000 Commute Profile).
Van pools:
Program goal: 18
Total element goal: 18
7. Bicycling will be promoted as a viable commute option. Bicycle lockers,
storage areas, racks, and showers, will be available. The local Bayside Trail
provides important trail links to other areas. Common bicycle and transit
commute routes of the employees in the area will be shared and published.
Bicycles:
Program goal: 6
Total element goal: 6
8. Motorcycles will be accommodated in secure, signed designated areas, with
methods of impact protection from automobile traffic. Motorcycles pollute less,
may use carpool lanes, and cross toll bridges during commute hours for free.
Motorcycles:
Program goal: 2
Total element goal: 2
9.Telecommuting reduces both traffic and the need for employee parking
facilities. Alexandria will supply tenants with information to assist them in
developing a formal telecommuting program with "how- to" instructions, including
contracts between management and the employees, feedback mechanisms,
ergonomics, insurance and worker's compensation issues. The information will
also include suggestions for possible methods to track telecommuting days.
Telecommuting:
Program goal: 3
Total element goal: 3
10. The use of taxicab vouchers will be encouraged for local business
transportation, including travel to and from the S.F.O. International Airport.
Indirect commute impact.
11. The S.S.F. Downtown Dasher program will be promoted for midday travel to
the downtown area. Alexandria will encourage its tenants to pay for round trip
program vouchers. Indirect commute impact.
12. Tenants will be required to provide visitors and job applicants with public
transportation options, shuttle schedules, and transit maps for the area, to
promote the use of public transit. Indirect beneficial impact to program.
13. Employee surveys shall be conducted to determine current modes of
commuting. The surveys will be conducted via e-mail. Non-responses to
commute surveys are to be counted as "drive alone". Indirect benefit to program.
14. An employee contact person will be available to answer commute questions,
concerns, or transit problems. This employee will be available via telephone or e-
mail. This employee will prepare historical surveyed commute records, for annual
submission of a TDM Report to the City of South San Francisco Planning
Department. This person will work in conjunction with the Peninsula Congestion
Relief Alliance to assist in the promotion of ridesharing programs, and events.
Indirect benefit to program.
15. Employees will be encouraged to participate in the Bay Area Air Quality
District's "Spare the Air" program during unhealthy weather conditions.
Participants will be requested to not drive to work alone, and seek other methods
of commuting. Enrollment will be via the BAAQMD Web page, and "Spare the Air
Day' notification will be sent via e-mail, as soon as it is forecasted. Indirect
benefit to program.

An employee participation level of 28% indicates that with a projected population
of 310 employees, the potential of 88 employees could actively participate in
alternative modes of commuting. TOM Program offerings could reasonably
eliminate 88 daily round commute trips at this project location.
In addition, alternative mid day transportation options are to be made available to
reduce the need for a vehicle. (These methods are very effective in reducing
congestion, parking demands, and reducing "cold start" pollution sources,
although not used in the calculated daily trip reduction figures). On site amenities
will further reduce the need for mid day travel, and parking demand. Attractive
options to driving alone will be supported, and with the available choices of
transit options, employer subsidies, and marketing, this program can be an
effective tool to encourage commuters to forgo drive alone situations.
The new TOM Plan identifies the need of a total of 88 daily commute trip
reductions, at full project completion and activation. Employee and tenant
surveys will provide sufficient feedback on the success and effectiveness of this
program.
Management supports, and understands the importance of an effective TOM
Program, as part of a proven, progressive business environment.

EMERGENCY RIDE HOME
PROGRAM
Are you ready to improve recruitment and retention rates, reduce
parking congestion, and attract employees from a wider area, while
providing a subsidized, low cost benefit to your employees?
Do it all with the Alliance's
Emergency Ride Home Program
Most employees choose to drive their own personal vehicle to work
because they don't want to be stranded at work should an
emergency arise. With the Emergency Ride Home program,
employees are given the assurance that, in the case of an
emergency, they will be provided with a free taxi ride or a 24-hour
car rental.
.A
We pay 750/0 of the ride!
The participating employer pays the remaining 25%. Historically,
program costs remain very low because emergencies are
infrequent. The Alliance can help you design easy administration
policies that prevent program abuse.
Employer cost of one Emergency Ride Home: average $12
