May 2001
I. INTRODUCTION
Tularik Inc. is a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of
drugs based on gene regulation. Founded in 1991, Tularik currently has approximately
340 employees at offices in South San Francisco, New York, and Germany. The
corporate headquarters is located at 2 Corporate Drive in South San Francisco, California,
and staffs about 315 employees. According to the project sponsor, a recent survey
showed that approximately 41 % of employees commute to work via carpool or public
transportation.
Tulazik is proposing to convert an existing unoccupied wazehouse at 217 East Grand
Avenue into general office space. Approximately 18,000 square feet of office space
would be generated by the conversion and 90 employees are planned for the facility. (Of
these 90 employees, it is expected that at least 10 employees will telecommute and travel
to the office site on alternating days.) The conversion of this wazehouse to office space
requires a Transportation Demand Management (T'Dtl~ Plan.
The purpose of a TDM Plan is to reduce the number of single-occupant automobile trips
generated by the new office facility. A TDM Plan consists of a set of strategies,
measures, and incentives to encourage the employees to walk, bicycle, use public
transportation, carpool, or use other incentives to driving alone. TDM measures produce
more mobility using existing transportation systems, boost economic efficiency of the
current transportation infrastructure, improve air quality, save energy, and reduce traffic
congestion.
This TDM Plan was developed based on draft guidelines provided by the City of South
San Francisco that set a goal of 35% alternative mode use. The City/County Association
of Governments (C/CAG), the local Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo
County, provides additional TDM guidelines. However, because the project will produce
less than 100 new AM or PM peak hour trips, this project will not have to meet these
additional guidelines.
The existing transportation facilities serving the project site aze described in Chapter 2. -•~~~'-
Chapter 3 presents the South San Francisco Transportation Demand Management
strategies. The specific measures that have been selected for Tularik Inc. to meet the
35% alternative mode use goal aze described in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, a pazking
analysis was performed to determine if the additional pazking demand generated by the
new office facility would be satisfied by the existing on-site parking supply. Finally, the
summary and conclusions are made in Chapter 6.

II. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
The project site is located on the south side of East Grand Avenue, just west of Roebling
Road, in South San Francisco, California. The project site location is shown in Figure 1.
The existing transportation system in the project azea supports the use of alternative (non-
automobile) transportation modes by providing transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access to
the site. The existing system is described in detail below and shown in Figure 2.
Ezisting Transit Service
San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) operates bus service throughout San
Mateo County. The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Boazd operates commuter rail
service (CalTrain) between San Francisco and Gilroy. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
provides rail service between the East Bay (Richmond, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, and
Fremont) and San Francisco. The existing transit facilities .near the site aze shown on
Figure 2 and described in detail below.
SamTrans operates numerous bus routes in South San Francisco. Route 292 provides
service between Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo and the Transbay Terminal in
downtown San Francisco. This bus route operates along Airport Boulevard in the
vicinity of the project site. The hours of operation are 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM on weekdays
and weekends. Buses run approximately every 30 minutes during the commute and
midday and every 60 minutes during the evenings.
SamTrans Route 34 provides service between Tanforan Shopping Center in San Bruno
and Geneva Avenue in San Francisco. This bus route operates along Airport Boulevard
in the vicinity of the project site. The route provides three northbound trips and three
southbound trips between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM on weekdays. No weekend service is
provided.
CalTrain provides frequent train service between San Jose and San Francisco seven days
a week. During commute hours, CalTrain provides extended service to Mflrgan Hill~and ~~ ~ _
°~ Gilroy. The South San Francisco-CalTrain station at Dubuque Avenue and Grand`'' 3~r
Avenue is located in the vicinity of the project site. Two CalTrain shuttle buses provide
service between the South San Francisco station and office buildings in the vicinity of the
project site. The Utah-Grand and Oyster Point Employer Shuttle makes seven morning
and seven afternoon stops on East Grand Avenue across from the project site. The
Gateway Employer Shuttle makes six morning and five afternoon stops at the Tularik
headquarters at 2 Corporate Drive.
BART provides frequent daily service between East Bay locations and San Francisco
seven days a week. The closest BART station to the project site is the Glen Park Station
at Diamond Street and Bosworth Street.

IV. TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan elements for 217 East Grand
Avenue emphasize measures that aze parking-oriented, include on-site amenities that
encourage the use of alternative modes of travel, and require participation in associations
that promote commute alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle.
This TDM Plan includes appropriate measures that will satisfy City of South San
Francisco guidelines. Table 3 presents the TDM measures for the proposed. project.
Each measure is described below.
TDM Coordinator
A transportation coordinator will be designated for the site. The coordinator will actively
market the TDM Plan to all employees and will conduct the annual monitoring/reporting
process. The coordinator will develop an on-site transportation information center with
SamTrans, CalTrain, and BART schedules and maps. The coordinator will also conduct
carpool or vanpool matching services. The transportation coordinator's role also includes
managing Commuter Check distribution and the guaranteed ride-home program (working
in conjunction with local taxi services or rental caz agencies). Other responsibilities may
be added as the need arises.
On-Site Amenities/Parkingbesign Measures
On-site amenities will be provided to promote the use of alternative modes and to reduce
employee reliance on the single-occupant automobile. On-site amenities include
providing bicycle racks or storage lockers and preferential pazking spaces for carpools.
Pazking spaces near building entrances will be designated as reserved carpool pazking
with signage or pavement striping.
Additionally, amenities are provided that promote the use of bicycles to travel to and
.W,.,°~~ from~~e':~project site: The corporate.headqusrters at 2 CorporateDrive has ~thrPe sets of • ~°~ -~ ~~
showery "for employee use. The project sponsor also ~pr"oxides a $300 subsidy for
membership to a health club, with one club being located in the vicinity of the project
site. Employees that bicycle to work can utilize the showers at either the corporate
headquarters or in the health club.
Transit Programs
CalTrain and BART shuttles provide service from the South San Francisco CalTrain
station and Glen Park BART station to neazby developments in the Oyster Point and
Gateway azeas. The Utah-Grand and Oyster Point Employer Shuttle and the Gateway
Employer Shuttle both serve the CalTrain station and have stops in the vicinity of the
project site. The BART Oyster Area Shuttle, the Gateway Area Shuttle, and the Utah-
Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc.
217 East Grand Avenue Transportation Demand Management Plan
June 2001
Grand Area Shuttle all have stops in the vicinity of the project site and connect the Glen
Park station.
The project sponsor also provides employees with Commuter Checks, allowing
employees to purchase transit passes or reimburse parking expenses with pre-tax income.
Guaranteed Ride Home Program
One of the most-common reasons that employees do not want to use an alternative mode
(i.e. carpool, vanpool, or transit) is the inability to leave work unexpectedly for a family
emergency or the fear of being stranded if they need to work late. One element that
alleviates these feazs is a Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program. With this program,
employees can use a taxi service, rental car, or another selected mode to get home and the
employer pays for the service. `his project will provide a GRH program that will be
managed by the transportation coordinator. An employee who needs a ride home will
contact the transportation coordinator. The transportation coordinator will then make the
necessazy travel arrangements.
Carpool Programs
Carpools aze the most populaz alternative commute mode. An in-house ridematching
service, in conjunction with a vigorous mazketing campaign, will be used to increase the
percentage of employees that share a ride to work.
Vanpool Programs
An in-house ridematching service, in conjunction with a vigorous mazketing campaign,
will be used to increase the percentage of employees that commute to work via a vanpool.
Promotional Programs
The project sponsor will provide information via flyers, posters, emails, or brochures
~:,~.:. regarding alternative mode use:~c.During new::empl~yee..orien~ation, .the project sponsor :r~:..- .h. •~~
~- ~ •- will be showing the Congestion Relief Alliance video "The Better Way" in an effort to ~ •_~: ~>
encourage use of public transportation and carpooling.
Telecommunicating
The project sponsor offers a program that allows employees to work from home a few
days a week or on an as needed basis.

V. PARING DEMAND ANALYSIS
The proposed conversion of the existing unoccupied wazehouse at 217 East Grand
Avenue would create 18,000 squaze feet of general office space. A pazking analysis was
performed to determine if the additional parking demand created by the new office space
would be satisfied by the future on-site parking supply.
The wazehouse at 217 East Grand Avenue is one of five buildings that shaze a common
pazking lot containing 204 pazking spaces. The existing pazking lot configuration is
shown in Figure 3. As part of this project, the pazking lot will be modified. At the
southwest comer of the development, nine pazking spaces aze planned for construction.
These new pazking spaces will replace nine pazking spaces to be removed just south of
217 East Grand Ave for development of various employee outdoor amenities. Therefore,
although the parking lot configuration will undergo minor modification, a constant 204
pazking spcaes will remain available to the development. To accommodate circulation
and parking space turnover in this particular parking configuration, the actual pazking
supply is reduced by 10% to 184 stalls. 'This is the "effective" pazking supply under both
existing and future conditions.
A parking count was performed on Thursday, May 24, to determine the existing pazking
demand at the development. On this day, 120 vehicles were parked at the development
parking lot during the morning peak.
Next, the additional parking demand resulting from the conversion of the wazehouse at
217 East Grand Avenue to office space was determined. The Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) has developed parking rates for several different land uses based on
surveys of actual parking demand. The land use most applicable to the Tularik Inc. site is
for "General Office Building." The peak pazking rates recommended by ITE are shown
in Table 4.

Based on Tularik Inc.'s proposal to develop 18,000 sq. ft. of office space for 90
employees, the future parking demand generated by 217 East Grand Avenue was
determined using the ITE parking rates. Because it is expected that at least 10 employees
will telecommute and travel to the office site on alternating days, the parking demand
will be based on an office site with 85 full-time equivalent employees. The future
parking demand is shown in Table 5 using both published ITE parking rates as
Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc.
21 ~ East Grand Avenue Transportation Demand Management Plan
June 2001
independent variables. The future parking demand is found by multiplying the ITE
parking rate by the appropriate office space characteristic (square footage or number of
employees). As shown in Table 5, the ITE parking rates project that the development of
217 East Grand Avenue into office space would result in a parking demand of 50-67
parking spaces.

Table 6 shows the "effective" parking supply at the development versus the future
parking demand. The future demand is determined by adding the existing parking
demand to the parking demand generated by the conversion of 217 East Grand Avenue to
office space. The table shows the total parking demand based on both ITE parking rates.
As shown in Table 6, total parking demand for the development site after conversion of
217 East Grand Avenue to office space will range from 170-187 parking spaces.

__ :.., ,
The TI'E published parking rates indicate that pazking demand gt~the development may
exceed parking supply after 217 East Grand Avenue is converted to office space. Based
on the ITE parking rate per employee, the future parking demand generated by 217 East
Grand Avenue will exceed the "effective" pazking supply at the development by 3
vehicles. In this circumstance, the 3 vehicles could park on Roebling Street, where on-
street pazking is available. However, based on the 1TE parking rate per office squaze
footage, the future parking demand generated by 217 East Grand Avenue will be less
than the "effective" parking supply at the development. In this circumstance, the parking
demand is comfortably lower than the "effective" parking supply.
Because ITE published two methods for determining parking demand, a range of parking
demand is created for the development of 217 East Grand Avenue. The very high end of
this parking demand range (170-187 spaces) predicts that parking supply (184 spaces)
Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc.

June 2001
couid be inadequate. However, because the parking supply falls at the high end of the
parking demand range, it is likely that the parking supply at the development site will be
adequate for the parking demand for the majority of days.

VI. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This report presents the TDM Plan for the Tularik Inc. conversion of 217 East Grand
Avenue from a warehouse to office space in South San Francisco, California. The report
identifies TDM measures that contribute to a goal of 35% alternative mode use.
According to the project sponsor, approximately 41 % of the workforce participates in
carpooling, ridesharing, or public transportation. The TDM plan supplements the
existing employee participation in alternative mode uses.
The TDM Plan has been tailored to utilize the measures that are most compatible for the
project:
- The project is located in close proximity to the CalTrain Station, providing
convenient access to CalTrain. The TDM Plan promotes transit usage by funding
seats to a CalTrain or BART shuttle. `
- The building will have bicycle racks and designated carpool parking spaces. In
addition, facilities are provided for. bicyclists to shower and dress. These physical
attributes promote alternative commute options.
- The project sponsor will participate in a TDM association. This will maximise
the effectiveness of this TDM plan.
The TDM plan meets the specific requirements set forth by the City of South San
Francisco. The TDM Plan is projected to achieve a 20.5% to 43.5% alternative mode use
according to draft City of South San Francisco guidelines.
A parking analysis was performed to determine if the additional parking demand
generated by the new office facility would be satisfied by the existing on-site parking
supply. Using parking rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE),
the parking demand of the new office was determined. Based on this analysis, the
parking supply"at the development should be adequate: for the'-parking demaird.on the
majority of days. Occasionally, the parking demand may exceed the parking supply at
the development. However, on-street parking on Roebling Street can supply any excess
parking demand under these circumstances.
