Try Transit Guaranteed Ride Home Program Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 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, account for 50% of all air pollution in South San Francisco. The developer of the Britannia Pointe Grand II Redevelopment project has prepared a Preliminary Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan in compliance with the City's Transportation Demand Management Ordinance. This plan is designed to achieve a 30% alternative mode-use that addresses both traffic and air quality concerns in South San Francisco. The plan assumes occupancy based on speculative tenants, three buildings totaling 462,000 square feet with a 0.68 floor area ratio (FAR). Total garage and surface parking is estimated at 1,401 spaces. The proposed parking ratio for the development is 3.0/1,000 square feet. City code is 3.3/1,000 square feet. This plan includes City ordinance-required TDM measures, additional TDM measures and elements, annual shuttle funding, annual survey monitoring and triennial 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. The developer is committed to encouraging tenant participation and will strongly recommend and support the development of their individual employee commute programs. This plan is performance based. The project is required to achieve a 30% 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 Chief Planner, Planning Division after the annual employee commute survey has been conducted. Every three years thereafter, a triennial report will be made to the City to document the mode-use rate of the project. 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. 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 single- occupant vehicle (SOV) usage. Tenant-employers who provide their employees with free parking, may further encourage drive-alone usage. The measures and elements contained in this plan are consistent with other South San Francisco employee commute programs. This plan will meet the 30% alternative mode- use goal. This TDM plan contains a total of 34 measures including 18 measures required by the City. A summary of TDM measures is provided on the next page. m The Hoyt Company Pagei Britannia Pointc Grand II Preliminary TOM Plan March 16,2007 SUMMARY OF TOM MEASURES I Pointe Grand !fransportation Demand Management Measures 30% TOM Plan - 2001 City Ordinance Required Measures ~ Bicycle parking (21 long term, Class I) included B.

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 a 30% 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 hundreds of millions of dollars invested in roadway infrastructure and 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 30% trip reduction goal as identified by the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance 1300- 2001. m The Hoyt Company Page I Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 Using the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance guidelines, the estimated number of trips needed to meet a 30% reduction for the number of employees estimated to occupy the redevelopment portion of the project ranges between 416 and 554. The range of employees is based on occupancy of three persons per 1,000 square feet and four persons per 1,000 square feet. Employees per 1,000 sq. ft. Estimated Total Employees Tri Reduction Re uirement 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. C/CAG credits identified in this Preliminary TDM Plan for the project total more than 881 trips. The C/CAG accounting of all trip credits applicable in this updated Preliminary TDM Plan is provided in Exhibit A. 3.0 EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT EAST OF HIGHWAY 101 According to the Commute Profile 2005 Regional Report, prepared by RIDES Associates, 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 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 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 2006, an employee commute survey was conducted at a similar employment site in South San Francisco at Britannia Oyster Point. The Britannia Oyster Point project is required to meet a higher threshold of 35% alternative mode use. Results from the survey indicated a successful alternative commute mode rate of 35.0%. However, it should be noted that various tenants in this nearby employment site have now implemented employees commute subsidies that enhance the alternative mode-use performance. Prior to the availability of subsidies, the 35% goal was not met. It is unknown if future employers at the Pointe Grand II project will offer subsidies to their employees. 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. m The Hoyt Company Page 2 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 Table 1 Comparable Transportation Mode-Use Rates San Mateo County Bay Area Region City of South San Francisco South San Francisco - Britannia Oyster Point Campus 29.0% 34.0% 29.9% 30.2% 35.0% Based on current and historical alternative mode-use data for South San Francisco and East of Highway 101 business areas, an example of 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 project using two employee population assumptions based on occupancy estimates of three employees per thousand and four employees per thousand. Table 2 Estimated Alternative Transportation Modes Drive alone to work site Car ool Transit Other (motorcycle, telecommute) Bic cle Van ool Walk Non-commuting (sick, vacation, business travel) 65.00% 14.74% 10.74% 1. 99% 1.20% 0.84% 0.50% 4.99% 100.00% 901 204 149 28 17 12 7 69 1,201 272 198 37 22 16 9 92 The implementation of TDM measures identified in this plan will result in an estimated 30% alternative mode use rate representing approximately 416 to 554 employees from a total of 1,386 to 1,848 occupants. This sample scenario provides a distribution example of employee alternative transportation choices, depicting a typical workweek day for the project. The actual distribution of transportation modes could vary and will be clarified in the survey results. m The Hoyt Company Page 3 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a 30.5-acre project owned by Slough Estates USA Inc. (Slough) 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 three Class-A office/laboratory buildings totaling 462,000 square-feet. The proposed construction consists of one, four-story building and two five-story building. The project is intended to accommodate life science and office tenants. The project is designed to maximize opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle, carpool, transit and shuttle connectivity. One hundred and thirty-eight (138) carpool parking spaces are planned with two spaces designated for a vanpool. Twenty-one (21) Class I bicycle lockers and seven 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 one block from the site on Harbor Way, East Grand and at the corner of Kimball and East Grand Avenue. Nearby food service and possible tenant- provided valet services (e.g. hair cuts, dentistry, dry cleaning, etc.) will help to create a self-sufficient development reducing the number of trips made daily to and from the project. The project FAR is 0.68. This increased or bonus FAR requires the need for more stringent employee surveys and triennial reporting to the City. Parking will be provided at a ratio of 3 cars per 1,000 square-feet which is slightly less than City code. The reduced parking ratio is intended to support the TDM programs at this site. Approximately 1,401 vehicle parking spaces are planned for the site. A project location map is provided on page 5. TDM site plan is provided on page 6. 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, and information kiosks. m The Hoyt Company Page 4 Britannia Pointe Grand Preliminary ruM Plan March 16, 2007 o ~ ~.~ " r5l~~ It , . ~ -< ~ p::: o ~ -< U o ~ o z ~ Ij r.o.1 Z - o ~ -< - Z Z -< E ~ " /;;'i.~,,_ ~-- '''i?~ / ~ <=> ::'l '" -..: :z ~ I / ",<i ~<&?

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 or near elevators in the garages) 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 Britannia Pointe Grand II Redevelopment project is proposing a 3/1,000 square feet parking ratio. This is a reduction in the parking ratio than required by the City. It should be noted that any tenant-employers who provide their employees with free parking may encourage drive alone usage and hinder the TDM success of the project. 5.2 Free Parking for Car and Van pools and Clean Fuel Vehicles Parking will be free for all carpool, vanpool and clean-fuel vehicle participants. 5.3 Preferential Car 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 car and vanpools. These preferred parking spaces will be designated with signage and pavement striping. Upon completion of this project, a minimum of 10% of employee parking or 140 spaces will be designated for carpool, vanpool, and clean-fuel vehicles. The project will provide 138 carpool parking spaces and two vanpool spaces in premium, convenient locations (i.e., close to buildings, in the shade, etc.) within 100 feet of building entrances or near the elevators in the garage. These preferential parking spaces will be specially signed and / or striped and may require employee registration and permitting. 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 close to the entrances of all three buildings. m The Hoyt Company Page 7 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 6.0 CARPOOL AND VANPOOL RIDEMATCHING SERVICE The Regional 511 Rideshare Ridematch Service, via 511.org and the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (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 project. An Employee Transportation Flyer will be designed promote 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 proximity to the project site. Shuttle services are provided from the South San Francisco BART and South San Francisco Caltrain Stations providing links for transit riders near to the project site. 7.1 Shuttle Funding Tenant/ employers at the Britannia Pointe Grand II project will contribute funding each quarter to the Alliance for shuttle programs and operational support in order fore their employees to receive shuttle passes and services. m The Hoyt Company Page 8 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 7.2 Direct Route to Transit A well-lit pedestrian path will be provided from the buildings, utilizing the most direct route, to the nearest shuttle stop. Britannia Pointe Grand II project transit riders will connect with shuttles within one block at Harbor Way, East Grand and at the corner of Kimball and East Grand. 7.3 Shuttle Services to Britannia Pointe Grand II The project will participate in the Alliance's shuttle system with both peak period and lunchtime service (via the Free Downtown Dasher). Shuttle services are provided near the project site at three locations: Harbor Way, East Grand and at the corner of Kimball and East Grand. The Utah-Grand Area Caltrain and BART shuttles offer 18 peak- morning trips and 17 peak-evening trips for employees. Daily shuttle service totals 35 trips. The Utah-Grand Area BART shuttle circulates between the South San Francisco BART station and the project at 15, 20, and 30-minute frequencies. There are currently a total of 18 BART shuttle trips to and from the project site. The Utah-Grad Area Caltrain shuttle service circulates between the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and the project during the morning and evening peaks at 20,25 and 35- minute frequencies. Seventeen (17) Caltrain shuttle trips provide connecting service to and from the project site. Table 3 shows the number of shuttle trips provided to the project site for connectivity to the South San Francisco BART and Caltrain stations. Table 3 Shuttle Service to Britannia Pointe Grand II Utah-Grand Area Caltrain Shuttle Utah-Grand Area BART Shuttle 9 9 8 9 17 18 The South San Francisco Employer Shuttles, including the Utah-Grand Area shuttles, operate using an employee pass program. Participating projects and developments, tenants or employers who contribute funding for the shuttles are provided with free passes for their employees. An Employer Shuttle Rider Pass Program flyer is provided as an attachment. Shuttle route maps are provided on the following page. m The Hoyt Company Page 9 Britannia Pointe Grand Preliminary TOM Plan March 16, 2007 Caltrain Shuttle Map UTAH - GRAND AREA CAL TRAIN SHUTTLE - loD SSF Caltraln Station .

Should the Alliance pursue additional shuttle stops at or near the project site, the developer would be amenable to providing designated street side space for the Alliance shuttle stop. 7.5 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 .53 miles from the project at the South San Francisco station located at 590 Dubuque A venue and Grand A venue. 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 in the South San Francisco's East of 101 Area. 7.6 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 project is approximately 2.64 miles from the South San Francisco BART Station. 7.7 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. m The Hoyt Company Page II Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 However, 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 Utah-Grand Area Shuttle Service that drops off and picks up in three locations at Harbor Way, East Grand and at the corner of Kimball and East Grand. 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 near the project site. 7.8 Downtown Dasher Taxi Service This free taxi service provides an 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. demand-driven 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 an employee trip reservation before 10:00 a.m. This midday service is currently free to participating employers and employees. This service is not a fixed route or fixed schedule service. A detailed Downtown Dasher flyer is provided as an attachment. 7.9 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 close to 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 spaces required for vehicles · Restaurants, retail: one bicycle space for every 50 spaces required for vehicles. Twenty-one 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 seven Class II bicycle racks will be placed at the building sites. Table 4 shows the recommended and total number of bicycle facilities for the proposed project. m The Hoyt Company Page 12 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 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. Table 4 Bicycle Parking Recommendation Estimated Number Parking Spaces Bicycle Parking Ratio Bic cle Parkin Needed Class I - long-term Class II - short-term 21 7 All bicycle parking 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 bicycle connections to regional bicycle facilities along East Grand A venue and Littlefield A venue and the San Francisco Bay Trails via the San Bruno Point area. 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 14. A map of the Bay Trails is provided on page 15. 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. m The Hoyt Company Page 13 Britannia Pointe Grand Preliminarv TOM Plan t ~ ~:s i t l ~l ~ .. , ! , t I , ~~ . , < <. . ~ E ~ , ~ E . .!:<if .~ '" :8 5 " "" G ;;: " ~ f '0 < ~ . . .5 , .a 'fiI .~ . .

Six showers (three for each gender) and 48 locker facilities are recommended for installation between the buildings. Shower and locker facilities will be provided free of charge for all employees. Table 5 shows the number of proposed shower and locker facilities planned for the project. Table 5 Proposed Shower and Locker Facilities 9.0 TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR The Pointe Grand II Redevelopment project will provide a Transportation Coordinator (TC) who will have the primary responsibility for implementing this Plan. The TC may be a part time or outsourced coordinator who manages the TDM Program. The TC 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 TC has a very positive impact on increasing alternative mode use. This position will be filled by: Name: TBD Address: Britannia Pointe Grand II South San Francisco, CA 94080 Phone: The TC will provide the following services: Promote trip reduction and air quality strategies to employees at the project site. 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). m The Hoyt Company Page 16 . . Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 · 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 guaranteed ride home (GRH) program, car and vanpool registration, parking enforcement, locker assignment and enforcement. 10.0 COMMUTE INCENTIVES AND PROMOTIONS Tenants at the Britannia Pointe Grand II Redevelopment project 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 allowances. Other carpool, vanpool and transit incentives are available to encourage employees to try and use alternative transportation options. 10.1 Commuter Choice The Commuter Choice option is a tax-free salary payroll deduction of up to $110 per month per employee, for vanpool and rail transit pass fares through a voucher program (Commuter Check). An employee can deduct up to $1,320 a year from their salary as a pretax payroll deduction. This program encourages non-drive alone commute trips. Employers also receive a tax savings as a benefit of this program. Direct 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. m The Hoyt Company Page 17 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 10.2 10.3 Carpool Incentive Programs . You Pool, We Pay - Employees at the Britannia Pointe Grand II project can participate in the "You Pool, We Pay!" program offered by the Alliance. Employees who are currently driving alone, and are commuting to, from or through San Mateo County, are encouraged to try carpooling. When employees form a new carpool with two or more people over the age of 18, or add a new member to an existing car pool, all carpool participants will each receive a $60 gas card incentive.1 . Hybrid and Clean Air Vehicle - Employees who participate in the "You Pool, We Pay" program with a hybrid or clean air vehicle will receive an $80 gas card incentive. . Carpool Rideshare Reward$ - Employees at the project can participate in the 511 Rideshare Reward$ program for carpoolers. Eligible carpoolers can earn $10 in gas or Safeway gift cards for every five days carpooled, up to $100 over three months. As an added bonus, a lucky commuter who carpools 40 or more days during the program can enter a year-end drawing for $1,000 in gift cards. Rideshare Reward$ for carpoolers are available from 511 for a limited period each year and are provided on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted. Vanpool Incentive Programs . New Vanpool Participant Rebates - As an incentive for vanpooling, the Alliance will pay half of the cost for the first three months of vanpooling, up to $80 per month per employee. New vanpool groups (or the driver), that stay on the road for at least six months, can receive a one-time rebate of $500. This one time incentive is provided for those who join a new vanpool in the last six months and have not vanpooled for a three-month period before joining a new van. . New Vanpool Formation Incentive - Newly formed vanpools are eligible to receive up to $900 for starting a vanpool. Vanpooling is an inexpensive, relaxing way to get to work, and the 511 Rideshare program offers the perfect excuse to start a vanpool - cash! The vanpool reward provides $300 to $900 in gas cards to new vans that meet all eligibility requirements and successfully complete three to nine consecutive months of operation. The gas cards will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, until the funds are exhausted. Employers and individual commuters who start a new vanpool may be eligible to receive the gas cards, which are awarded to the party designated to handle the vanpool's finances. The gas cards will also be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, until the funds are exhausted. Employers and / or 1 http://www.commute.org/programs.htm#carpool m The Hoyt Company Page 18 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 individuals who start a new vanpool may be eligible to receive the gas cards, which will be awarded to the party designated to handle the vanpool's finances? . Vanpool Seat Subsidy - The 511 Regional Rideshare Program will offer a vanpool seat subsidy in the form of gas cards. The seat subsidy will provide $100 per month, with a limit of three months per van during the program year, to help cover the fare of a lost participant. The gas cards will be offered to eligible vans on a first-come, first-served basis, until the funds are exhausted. 10.4 Free Bridge Toll Commuters can save time and commute toll free by carpooling, vanpooling or taking transit over one of the Bay Area's eight bridges during peak commute hours. Specific Bay Area bridge toll information can be found at 511.org (e.g. minimum requirements for 2-person or 3-person carpools). Free toll passes are also available to vans with 10 or more passengers during non-commute hours on all bridges except the Golden Gate Bridge. 10.5 Try Transit Program The Alliance offers a Try Transit Program provides free transit tickets to people who are interested in trying public transit to get to work. These tickets are meant for people who are new to transit. Commuters requesting tickets must work, live in or drive through San Mateo County. A copy of the Try Transit Program is provided as an attachment. Transit ticket options include: . One BART ticket 3 round-trip Caltrain tickets 6 one-way SamTrans tickets 6 Dumbarton tickets 3 round-trip VT A tickets 511 TakeTransitsM Trip Planner . . . . 10.6 The greater San Francisco Bay Area is currently serviced by the 511 TakeTransitSM Trip planner. TakeTransifM is a useful tool for planning public transit trips. 511 TakeTransifM Trip Planner can build an itinerary that suits the need of the transit user. An itinerary can be built that can identify the fastest or with least number of transfers or with least amount of fares. 511 TakeTransitSM Trip Planner by default will try to generate fastest itinerary between the origin and the destination. 2 http://rideshare.511.org/ rideshare_rewards / rewards.asp m The Hoyt Company Page 19 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 10.7 Commute Allowances Owners or tenant/ employers of the project will be encouraged to offer their employees commute allowance to promote the use of alternative transportation options and reduce the demand for parking at the site. Commute allowances can be a set amount, usually taxable, for employees who use any type of transportation option (except drive alone) including those who walk, bicycle or carpool. Allowances can be cash, gift cards, gift certificates, cafeteria / cafe vouchers, movie tickets or other employee desired item. 11.0 GUARANTEED EMERGENCY RIDE HOME PROGRAM Tenants of the project will be required to participate in the GRH program managed by the Alliance. The Alliance will identify the process for the employer to register for this important program. The Alliance covers 75% of the cost for GRH services with the employer paying 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 van pool breaks down, they are guaranteed a ride home. 12.0 TRANSPORTATION RESOURCE INFORMATION A supportive TC, property management and involved tenant / employers will generate positive impacts toward the success of the TDM goals and elements that are implemented. TDM commute programs and benefits must be presented to the employees in a comprehensive and proactive manner along with any other employee programs. This can be done via participation and support of employee orientation forums or transportation fairs, transportation kiosk posting, employee newsletters, management bulletins, emails, etc. From a practical standpoint management support must be twofold: 1) Upper and middle management will encourage alternative modes whenever possible. 2) Managers and supervisors need to be supportive of employees who tryout alternative modes, even if it means initial minor adjustments to their work schedule. DI The Hoyt Company Page 20 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TOM Plan March 16,2007 TDM should be viewed as a big picture process. This includes explaining the area's air quality problems, how fighting air pollution ties in with being a good corporate citizen. It is important that the employees can see how both they and the community benefits (better air quality and less traffic congestion on the highways and the surrounding neighborhoods, less parking hassles, cost savings for employees, etc.). Synergistic measures that support these efforts include the transportation kiosk, employee flyers, resource Web sites, promotional programs and incentives, and employer training and employee outreach. 12.1 Transportation Kiosk Information boards or kiosks will be located in each building in a common gathering area (e.g. lobby, employee entrance, break or lunch room), The kiosks will contain transportation information, including Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) information, transit and shuttle schedules, Sam Trans, Caltrain, BART, Downtown Dasher, 511 ridematching and other related information. Information will be updated periodically by the TC or designated employer contact. Kiosks can be wall-mounted or freestanding, rotating units. A sample of a wall mounted transportation information board is shown below.

The designated tenant/ employer contact will be the official contact for the Britannia Pointe Grand II TDM program described in this plan. The designated employer contact will coordinate closely with the project TC and maintain on-site TOM programs and employee outreach, administrate the annual surveys and provide information continuity for the developer /landlord and the City of South San Francisco. m The Hoyt Company Page 23 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 12.5 Promotional Programs If possible, prior to occupancy, the future tenant(s) will host a pre-move Transportation Fair or conduct a pre-move marketing campaign, with a heavy emphasis on carpooling, transit and shuttle resources. Throughout the year, tenants will be encouraged to maintain employee awareness by hosting other transportation fairs. 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, CaItrain 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 lunchtime 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 in concert with other employer events such as health fairs, benefits fair, etc. 12.6 Tenant Training and Developer-Provided Resource Representative Slough will provide tenant(s) with TDM program training and start-up assistance. A TDM resource representative will provide TDM support, training and planning assistance for the tenant's employee programs and annual survey compliance. 13.0 PROJECT AMENITIES Amenities provide employees with a full service work environment. Eliminating or reducing 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. Developers of the Pointe Grand II project will encourage tenants to offer their employees convenience amenities. A list of amenities for consideration include: Tenant Driven Amenities · Food / snack and beverage vending machines · Postage and mail outlet · On-site credit union/ ATM · Wi-Fi access throughout campus ID The Hoyt Company Page 24 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 Pointe Grand II Amenities · Recreational greenbelt and picnic area · Showers and clothes lockers · Bicycle lockers · Transportation and commute kiosks · Free Downtown Dasher -11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (to the extent it is available) Potential Valet Amenities (tenant driven) · Massage · Dry Cleaning, shoe shine and repair, laundry, film developing, eyeglass repair · Dentist · Hair and Nail Salon · Car Care (oil change, cleaning, etc.) 13.1 Recreational and Bicycle Facilities Several relaxation areas will be incorporated at the Britannia Pointe Grand II site as part of the project construction. This area will offer project employees a recreational area for walking, meditation or picnicking. The Bay Trails project provides bicycle connectivity directly to the south of the project, parallel with the property line, 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.3 14.0 KICK-OFF EVENT Upon 75% occupancy, the developer will host a commute alternative kick-off event/ celebration or employee marketing campaign. 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 developer and 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 help set the date for the event and advertise the event at least two weeks in advance. 15.0 ANNUAL TRANSPORTATION FAIR AND SPECIAL PROMOTIONS The Pointe Grand II TC will host an annual commute alternative event or fair. Transportation service providers, such as BART, Caltrain, 511 Regional Rideshare and the Alliance will be invited to setup exhibit booths/ tables. To encourage employee participation in the event, the TC will provide food, such as popcorn, hot dogs, ice 3 http://www.abag.ca.gov /bayarea/baytrail/ overview.html m The Hoyt Company Page 25 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 cream or other refreshments, and give-a-ways, such as commuter mugs, water bottles, t- shirts, etc. The TC will set the date for the event and advertise the event at least two weeks in advance. Periodic rideshare articles will be written by the TC for internal employee newsletter with ongoing highlights of alternative commuters and their successes. Internal company notices and incentive promotions about Spare the Air (June through October), Bike to Work (May) and Rideshare Thursday's should attract attention of commuters, generate excitement about the use of commute alternatives, and reward those who rideshare. These promotions are often sponsored in conjunction with 511, the Regional Rideshare Program or the Air District. The TC will register with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for the Spare the Air program so as to receive regional air quality forecast bulletins about poor and unhealthy air quality days. These direct email updates will be forwarded to all employees to encourage the use of alternative transit mode during peak advisory periods. 16.0 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are typically private, nonprofit organizations run by a voluntary Board of Directors typically with 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 Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief 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 Project tenants can 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. II The Hoyt Company Page 26 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16,2007 17.0 COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT The intent of the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance is to reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips and in doing so lessen the resulting traffic congestion and mobile source related air pollution. It is important to ensure TDM measures are actually implemented and effective. Therefore a monitoring and enforcement program is necessary for each application. Because the City's TDM Program is performance based (i.e. project required percentage alternative mode usage and corresponding trip reduction at 30%), an annual evaluation program will allow the Britannia Pointe Grand II Redevelopment project, Slough and the City to assess the effectiveness of the unique program designed for their project, and to make adjustments as necessary to consistently meet or exceed the requirement. Slough's Britannia Pointe Grand II will establish and maintain a 30% trip reduction at the proposed project site that is subject to annual monitoring. Annual monitoring and penalty programs are consistent with previously approved methodologies implemented by the City of South San Francisco at other project sites in the east of Highway 101 area. Slough plans to voluntarily promote, encourage, and support alternative commute mode usage for employees at the Britannia Pointe Grand II project. 17.1 Annual Employee Commute Survey An employee commute survey will be a critically important part of the monitoring process to determine the success or failure of TDM measures. This report, via results from an employee survey distributed and collected by the TC will provide quantitative data (e.g., mode split) and qualitative data (e.g., employee perception of the alternative transportation programs). Employees who do not participate in commute survey will be counted as drive-alone or SOV commuters by default. 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. Survey data may then be used to focus TDM marketing and the efforts of the TC. The TDM program could be re-tooled, if necessary, to maintain the project's 30% peak hour alterative commute use rates and commitment at the site. A summary report based on results from the employee commute survey will be submitted to the City of South San Francisco and presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council. 17.2 Annual Summary Report Each year, Slough via tenant-employee survey data, will prepare an annual TDM summary report and submit the same to the City to document the effectiveness of their TDM Plan in achieving the goal of the alternative mode usage and 30% trip reduction by employees within the Project. The TDM summary report will be prepared by an independent consultant or TMA who will work in concert with the Britannia Pointe Grand II TC. The TDM summary report will include a determination of historical employee commute methods provided by information obtained from a survey of all employees working in the building. m The Hoyt Company Page 27 Britannia Pointe Grand II Preliminary TDM Plan March 16, 2007 If the trip reduction rates have not been achieved, the report will explain how and why the goal was not reached and specifies additional measures and activities that will be implemented in the coming year to improve the modes use rate. The initial TDM summary report on the Property will be submitted within one (1) year and each year thereafter following the granting of a certificate of occupancy with respect to the building. The survey reporting is targeted for the 4th quarter of each year. 17.3 Triennial Report For projects with increased FAR, a triennial report will also be required. The triennial report will state whether the development has or has not achieved the required percent alternative mode-use. If the development has not achieved the required mode-use, the applicant will: . Explain how and why the goals have not been reached . Describe additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to attain the required mode-use rate . Provide an implementation schedule by month of additional measures The triennial report will also include a comparison of historical responses on the survey and identify if mode share has changed significantly and describe in detail as to why the mode share changed. The Chief Planner will review reports.

This TDM Plan provides the details of their commitment to the City of South San Francisco. The Britannia Pointe Grand II Redevelopment 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. By balancing air quality with economic growth, the Britannia Pointe Grand II project will help South San Francisco thrive as a community.
