RE: 2006 EMPLOYEE COMMUTE SURVEY -BRITANNIA OYSTER POINT SUMMARY Dear Ms. Kalkin: We are pleased to submit a summary of the 2006 Britannia Oyster Point Employee Commute Survey results. This summary meets the TDM monitoring and reporting requirements as specified in the 2000 Bay West Cove TDM Plan. During the weeks of October 23, through November 3, 2006, the Britannia Oyster Point Commute Program conducted a survey encompassing 670 employees throughout the campus. This survey summary reflects responses for all campus employees (seven tenant employers). The purpose of the Britannia Oyster Point survey was to provide annual documentation of TDM accomplishments and meet the City of South San Francisco's reporting requirements. In addition, survey results provide a snapshot of current alternative mode-use levels. Highlights of the survey results include: • Survey response rate - 67% • Alternative mode-use range - 29% to 44% • Single occupant vehicle (SOV) respondents who would consider using an alternative occasionally - 77% • Arriving commuter outside peak morning hours -18.7% • Departing commuters outside peak evening hours - 31.1% The 2006 Employee Transportation Survey conducted by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance) identified the San Mateo County alternative commute rate at 27%. The overall commute rate for the City of South San Francisco was identified at 30%. Using survey methodology consistent with methodology used by the Alliance, the Britannia Oyster Point project has achieved the required 35% alternative mode-use goal. 660 J Street, Suite 444 Sacramento, CA 95814 Bus: 916 448 2440 Fax: 97 6 448 5305 hoy tcoC~>thehoy tco. com Ms. S. Kalkin December 8, 2006 Page 2 However, the City requires the Britannia Oyster Point project to use the Bay West Cove methodology which dictates that non-survey participants be counted as SOV drivers and consequently reflects an alternative mode-use rate of 29%. The aggregate efforts of the Britannia Oyster Point commute program in tandem with the individual tenant-employers programs will continue to maintain and exceed the alternative 35% commute mode usage goal as calculated using the Alliance methodology. Two of the largest employers (Rigel and Amgen) offer significant employee transit and commuter subsidies and benefits (including carpoolers, bicyclist and pedestrians). A copy of the 2006 survey results summary and graphics are enclosed for your review. Please contact me at (916) 448-2440, or at [email protected], should you have any questions regarding this report. We would be delighted to meet with you and the Planning Commission to highlight the successes of the Britannia Oyster Point commute program. Sincerely, ~~~~ ~.,,~p~ C) " Elizabeth L.
