This annual summary report meets the monitoring and reporting requirements as specified in the June 2007 city-approved Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. During the two weeks of September 28 through October 9, 2009, the Britannia Modular Labs II .Commute Program conducted its second annual commute survey encompassing 59 employees throughout the project site. The survey response-rate was 100 percent. The purpose of the Britannia Modular Labs II commute survey is to provide documentation of TDM accomplishments and meet the City of South San Francisco's reporting requirements. Survey results provide a snapshot of current .alternative mode- use levels and activities. It should be noted that during 2009 -there were significant economic issues that impacted employers, employees, and use of commuter program: Economic constraints also impacted other available resources such as commuter programs -and. support from the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance and the 511 Regional Rideshare Program.

Utilizing this methodology, the Britannia Modular Labs Ii project achieved. a 20 percent alternative transportation mode-use rate: ' The proactive efforts of the Britannia Modular Labs II Commute Program, in tandem . with the. ongoing development of individual tenant-employer programs, will continue to grow the alternative commute mode usage rate in the coming years., Please note that the TDM efforts for the Britannia Modular Lahs II project were achieved in spite.of a challenging econo>nic environment, free on-site parking, and a complete lack of local transit (SamTrans) service: It should also be noted that Caltrain does not provide express Baby Bullet commuter service to the South San Francisco Station.. . The commute survey data for 2009 and estimates for 201'0 were also assessed. to ' determine the initial carbon reduction benefits of the Britannia Modular Labs II Commute Program.
