BRITANNIA COVE AT OYSTER POINT —TDM PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Designed as a commute - friendly project, HCP Oyster Point III, LLC has prepared a Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) plan for the Britannia Cove at Oyster Point (The Cove) project. The
TDM goal, based on the City's TDM guidelines for the Bay West Cove Specific Plan District, is to
achieve a 35 percent alternative mode -use rate. The Cove TDM Plan addresses and responds to
the follow TDM purpose statements:
a. Reduce the amount of traffic generated by new nonresidential development and the
expansion of existing nonresidential development, pursuant to the City's police power and
necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare.
b. Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment
opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated.
Reduce drive -alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a combination of
services, incentives, and facilities.
d. Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and ensure that
new developments are designed in ways to maximize the potential for alternative
transportation usage.
e. Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that the desired
alternative mode use percentages are achieved.
HCP has a long history of achieving the City's TDM requirements. They are committed to reducing
vehicle trips, air pollution, traffic congestion, and parking demand while contributing to carbon
footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. Implementation and future monitoring
requirements stemming from AB32 and SB375 are still pending and likely developers and property
owners will be required to reduce impacts from GHG emissions. By reducing emissions now, The
Cove project will help lead this mitigation process.
The applicant prepared this TDM plan in compliance with Chapter 20.400 of the City's Municipal
Code as a Transportation Demand Management Zoning Ordinance (effective August 2010). The
TDM measures are also consistent with the City /County Association of Governments of San Mateo
County (C /CAG) Guidelines for the Implementation of the Land Use Component of the Congestion
Management Program.
TDM infrastructure measures include: preferential carpool parking, secure bicycle parking, onsite
commuter kiosk(s), free San Mateo County Alliance trial transit pass program, and an emergency
ride home program for alternative transportation users. The plan has a variety of programmatic
and incentive -based measures, which promote carpooling, vanpooling, transit, bicycling, walking,
and telecommuting. HCP will encourage and support future tenant and employer participation in
use of alternative commute programs.
The alternative transportation mode -use rate will be monitored annually, with the first employee
commute survey to be conducted two years after occupancy of the project. An alternative mode-
FR Page i
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
May 31, 2013
use survey summary report will be submitted to the City's Planning Division following the
completion of each annual employee commute survey.
A triennial report is also required, via peer review of the commute survey and /or in -field survey,
after the third annual survey is submitted. The City's audit methodology will be harmonious or
similar to the TDM zoning ordinance requirements for project's annual reporting methodology.
The 46 measures and elements contained in this plan are consistent with other well - performing
employee TDM commute programs in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. A list of TDM measures

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
May 31, 2013
The Cove project includes clustered development with primarily office and research and
development (R &D) buildings. Clustered developments in the City enhance the efficiency of the
existing transportation system. This project is located near, and is served by, the South San
Francisco Caltrain Station, South San Francisco BART Station, and the newly opened South San
Francisco Ferry Terminal. Other nearby transportation resources includes the Millbrae
Caltrain /BART Intermodal Station, Glen Park BART Station, as well as U.S. Highway 101 and nearby
Interstate 280.
As outlined in Chapter 20.400 of the City's TDM Zoning Ordinance, this comprehensive plan is
designed to:
a. Reduce the amount of traffic generated by new non - residential development, pursuant to
the City's police power and necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and
welfare.
b. Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment
opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated.
c. Reduce drive -alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a combination of
services, incentives, and facilities.
d. Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and ensure that
new developments are designed in ways to maximize the potential for alternative
transportation usage.
e. Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that the desired
alternative mode use percentages are achieved.
TDM is a combination of services, incentives, facilities, amenities, and actions that reduce single
occupant vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking demand, and air pollution
problems. In addition to the purpose statements included above, TDM also promotes better
utilization of existing transportation facilities. At a minimum, the TDM measures proposed for this
project are expected to achieve the goal of 35 percent alternative mode uses.
In addition, this TDM report satisfies project requirements from local (i.e., General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance) and State regulatory elements and applicable portions of the U.S. Green Building
Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. A summary
of local and state regulatory settings and LEED criteria follows.

1.2 State Regulatory Setting
The State of California has given many organizations and agencies the responsibility of creating
guidelines, policies, and thresholds that meet legislation from the Office of Planning and Research,
California Air Resources Board (CARB), California Air Pollution Control Officers' Association, Council
of Governments, and the Attorney General's office.
♦ Assembly Bill 32, California Climate Solutions Act of 2006 — requires that statewide GHG
emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020. This first -in- the -world
comprehensive program of regulatory and market mechanisms are designed to achieve
real, quantifiable, and cost - effective reductions of GHG. AB 32 establishes CARB as the
agency responsible for monitoring and reducing GHG emissions.
♦ Senate Bill 375 — establishes improved land use and transportation policy supporting AB 32
by providing a means for achieving the AB 32 goals for cars and light trucks through land
use changes. This legislation created potentially revolutionary changes in California's
regional planning processes for housing and transportation by mandating the creation of
sustainable regional growth plans. These plans are expected to double the GHG emission
reduction targets that local governments must meet through land use planning.
2.0 GENERAL TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT DEFINITION
The basic premise of 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 millions of
dollars invested in roadway infrastructure and public transit infrastructure. The goal of TDM is to
take advantage of these major capital investments efficiently and economically. The following are
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 or walking).
2) Shift travel to less congested facilities by providing traveler information systems that warn
motorists about delays or alternative routes.
3) Support other technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric /hybrid
vehicles, or other zero emission vehicles).
4) Eliminate or shift trips from peak periods (e.g., flexible schedules, compressed work weeks,
or telecommuting).
Until recently in the United States, the answer to relieving roadway and parking congestion was to
build more roads and parking facilities (similar in concept to building another manufacturing plant
to expand productivity levels). Current economics and limited resources affect the ability to build
and maintain more roads or parking facilities. This reality necessitates better utilization of the
existing transportation infrastructure (similar to adding a second shift at an existing manufacturing
plant). To that end, TDM measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative
transportation options.

3.0 SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT
May 31, 2013
According to the Commute Profile 2005 Regional Report4 prepared by RIDES for Bay Area
Commuters, the overall San Mateo County alternative mode -use rate was estimated at
approximately 29 percent, with the Bay Area regional rate comprising approximately 34 percent.
The larger Bay Area alternative mode -use rate reflects the increased prevalence of paid parking in
urban core areas. Whereas, parking is free or much less expensive in much of San Mateo County
and free in the City of South San Francisco. The 2007 -2009 American Community Survey (based on
the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program) estimated the City of South San Francisco
mode -use rate to be approximately 30 percent.
A comparison of alternative transportation mode -use rates (non -drive alone commuters) for the
greater Bay Area region, San Mateo County, City of South San Francisco, and a nearby project site
is shown below.

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
May 31, 2013
The proposed Britannia Cove at Oyster Point project includes seven buildings comprising 884,344
square feet designed for R &D /Office use. The total floor area ratio is 1.0 for life science uses.
A 126,000 square foot select
service hotel is envisioned with
up to 200 rooms (including a
restaurant). Retail space may
also include a restaurant and
total 20,000 square feet.
The initial parking ratio will be
2.5/1,000 (2,478 stalls). A
maximum parking ratio would
be 2.83/1,000 (2,670 stalls)
including 100 stalls shared with the hotel. An eight or nine story parking structure is planned.
A conceptual TDM Site Plan is shown on page 7. This site plan shows the conceptual location of
commuter facilities and infrastructure (carpool parking spaces, bicycle lockers and racks, showers,
transportation kiosk, etc.). A location map is shown below.

Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan May 31, 2013
The following physical infrastructure measures are designed to support alternative transportation
commuters. These measures are TDM components that will be installed during the construction of
the project.
5.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT
The willingness to participate in, and the actual level of employee ridesharing, is directly linked to
parking availability and parking cost. Reduced parking availability supports trip reduction and
discourages SOV trips by limiting easy and convenient parking options. Reduced parking
availability also enhances other alternative mode -use options.
5.1 Reduced Parking Supply
The Cove project is proposing to initially provide a reduced parking ratio of 2.5 per 1,000 building
square feet (2,478 spaces) to further enhance its TDM efforts.
5.2 Carpool and Vanpool Parking Allocation
Upon completion and implementation of this TDM plan, there will be nearly 249 designated
carpool and vanpool vehicle parking spaces (ten percent of total allocated parking spaces).
It should be noted that the 249 allocated carpool and vanpool vehicle parking spaces would
support and serve more than 498 carpool and vanpool participants.
The carpool and vanpool parking measure exceeds the Sustainable Site LEED Credit 4.4: Alternative
Transportation: Parking Capacity.
SS Credit 4.4: Alternative Transportation— Parking Capacity
Intent
To reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use
Requirements
• Size parking capacity to meet but not exceed the minimum local zoning
requirements.
• Provide preferred parking for carpools or vanpools for 5% of the total parking
spaces.
5.3 Preferential Carpool and Vanpool Parking Space Placement
One effective means of encouraging employees to rideshare and /or use a clean -fuel vehicle is to
reserve the preferred parking spaces (premium, convenient locations, in the shade or within 100
feet of building entrances) for the exclusive use of carpools, vanpools, and clean -fuel vehicles.
These preferred parking spaces will be designated with signage and pavement striping and located
throughout the project. Preferential parking spaces are an excellent incentive that sends a clear
FOR Page 8
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
visual message to employees and the community that
alternative transportation is not only important but also
provides benefits to those who use it.
Use of these carpool parking spaces may require policy
development, employee registration, and permitting.
Registered vanpools will receive a designated parking
space.
The project developer will be responsible for striping
the pavement and providing appropriate signage for
preferential parking throughout the site.
5.4 Motorcycle and Scooter Parking Placement
May 31, 2013
Designated motorcycle, electric scooter, and electric bicycle parking will be provided in a covered
location. Electric scooters will be encouraged for employee consideration for their clean -fuel
benefits and contribution to reducing vehicle congestion and parking.
5.5 Passenger Loading Zones
In order to facilitate disembarking and embarking of rideshare passengers, passenger
loading /unloading areas will be provided. A passenger loading zone for carpool and vanpool drop -
off will be located close to the entrance of each building.
The project developer will be responsible for the construction of a passenger loading zone and
appropriate signage at the site.
6.0 TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTE INFORMATION KIOSKS
An information board or kiosk will be located in each
building in a common gathering area (e.g., lobby,
employee entrance, break, or lunch room) and in all
parking structures at the main level.
The kiosk will contain transportation information, such
as Emergency Ride Home (ERH), transit schedules, BART,
Caltrain, and 511 ride - matching. Information will be
updated periodically by the Campus Transportation
Coordinator (CTC).

7.0 PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE AMENITIES
The project will have pedestrian and bicycle connections to regional
facilities and the San Francisco Bay Trail. The Bay Trail is a network of
multi -use pathways circling San Francisco and San Pablo bay. The trail
provides commuters an exceptional pathway to bicycle or walk to work
in South San Francisco. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities and amenities
will include bicycle lockers and racks, showers, and clothes lockers.
Initially, the project will provide 305 bicycle facilities. At a 2.83/1,000
maximum floor area ratio, bicycle parking facilities would total 329.
7.1 Bicycle Connections
The City of South San Francisco Walking and Biking Map identify Class II
bicycle routes along Oyster Point Boulevard. Class I bicycle paths are provided along the Bay Trail.
Bicycle maps are shown on pages 11 and 12 and depict various bicycle facilities for South San

Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
May 31, 2013
The following programmatic measures are designed to enhance the success of the TDM program
and upon implementation; they create the "The Cove Commute Program ". These measures are
TDM components that will be required of tenants and employers as part of their occupancy
agreements and represent promotions and outreach activities of the Commute Program.
9.0 TENANT SERVICES, MANAGEMENT, AND COMMUTER OUTREACH
An active Campus Transportation Coordinator (CTC), cooperative 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 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, e- mails, etc.
From a practical standpoint, tenant - employer management support must be twofold:
1) Upper management will encourage alternative modes whenever possible.
2) Supervisors need to be supportive of employees who try alternative modes, even if it
means initial minor adjustments to their work schedule.
TDM should be viewed as a big picture process. It is important that the employees see how both
they, and the community benefit (e.g., better air quality and less traffic congestion on the
highways and in the surrounding neighborhoods, less parking hassle, cost savings for employees,
etc.). Synergistic measures that support these efforts include the transportation kiosk, employee
fliers, resource websites, promotional programs and incentives, employer training, and employee
outreach.
9.1 Designated Employer Contact
The Cove will require a designated contact to be identified for all future tenants /occupants. The
designated tenant /employer contact will be the official contact for The Cove TDM program
described in this plan. The designated employer contact will coordinate closely with the project
CTC, maintain onsite TDM programs and employee education and marketing, administer the
annual surveys, and provide information continuity for the developer /landlord and the City of
South San Francisco.
9.2 Tenant Training and TDM Resource Representative
As needed, building management will provide TDM program training and employee commute
program start -up assistance for their tenants. A TDM resource representative will provide tenant
training, planning assistance, and annual monitoring and survey reporting.
The overarching goals of this support function are to reduce commute trips for employees,
formalize tenant commute programs, and assist with employee marketing and outreach. The TDM
FOR Page 15
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
May 31, 2013
resource representative may assist building management in the preparation of tenant materials
for new employee orientation, production of kick -off events, and coordination of carpool parties,
commute e -news articles, employee assistance, and coordination of the annual transportation fair.
9.3 Campus Transportation Coordinator /Commuter Assistance
Building management will provide a Campus Transportation Coordinator (CTC) whose primary
responsibility will be implementing the TDM plan. The CTC may be a part -time or outsourced
coordinator who manages the TDM commute program.
The CTC will be responsible for providing ongoing commute assistance to employees, producing
onsite transportation fairs and promotional events, collaborating with 511 to maximize rdeshare
resources, conducting the annual survey, and producing the annual commute report. TDM
industry data supports that having a CTC results in a very positive impact on increasing alternative
mode use.
The CTC 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 who wish to commute
using an alternative transportation mode
• Conduct annual employee surveys and provide reports to the City of South San Francisco,
including: commute patterns, mode splits, and TDM program success
• Evaluate survey results for alternative transportation potential and /or changes to the
current program
• Catalog all existing incentives that encourage employees to utilize alternative
transportation programs, promote Commuter Club prizes and newsletters
• Work with local agencies such as Caltrain, BART, www.commute.org, 511 Rideshare, and
the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
• Post informational materials on transportation kiosks in employee common areas, and
disperse alternative program information to employees via designated employer contacts,
posters, fliers, banners, campus newsletter, new employee orientation, etc.
• Participate in the BAAQMD Spare the Air program to encourage employees not to drive to
work alone
• Provide timely electronic shuttle and transit alerts to riders of BART and Caltrain
• Coordinate and manage various aspects of the plan that require periodic updating or
monitoring, such as the guaranteed ERH program, car and vanpool registration, parking
enforcement, and locker assignment and enforcement
FOR Page 16
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
9.4 Commute Website and Resources
May 31, 2013
A comprehensive transportation and commute information Website will be developed for use by
all tenants and their employees. The Website will contain transportation information, resources,
and links, including promotions, incentives, Spare the Air notices, ERH information, shuttle
schedules, 511 ride - matching, and other related information. A sample homepage for The Cove
commute Website is shown below.

9.8 Promotional Programs
If possible, prior to occupancy, the future tenants will host
a pre -move Transportation Fair or conduct a pre -move
marketing campaign, with a heavy emphasis on carpooling,
bicycling, transit, and shuttle resources.
Throughout the year, tenants will be encouraged to
maintain employee awareness by hosting other, smaller
transportation fairs, such as lunch -time "brown bag" events. These events will highlight transit and
trip - planning services, rideshare matching, and
other commute opportunities at the new site. ,
Larger transportation events will bring together
transit and transportation providers (Caltrain,
BART, Water Ferry, and the Alliance), bicycle
advocates, ride - matching organizations (511), and
the Employee Commute Program for a
comprehensive presentation. Other event ideas

recommended in concert with other employer
events such as health fairs, benefits fairs, or wellness events.
Periodic rideshare articles will be written by the project CTC for internal employee newsletters,
with ongoing highlights of alternative commuters and their successes. Notices and incentive
promotions about Spare the Air (June through October), Bike to Work (May), and Rideshare
Thursdays will attract commuter attention, generate excitement, and reward those who rideshare.

The Cove CTC will register with the BAAQMD for the Spare the Air program in
order to receive regional air quality forecast bulletins about poor and
unhealthy air quality days. These direct e -mail updates will be forwarded to
all employees to encourage the use of alternative transit modes during peak
advisory periods.
9.9 Transportation Management Association
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are typically private, nonprofit organizations run
by a voluntary Board of Directors and 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
Building Management will ensure that project tenants register in the Alliance ERH program for
their employees and use the available resources and services. Participating in 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.

have to work late, thereby missing the last bus or their normal carpool home. The ERH program
will provide employees with peace of mind that comes from knowing that if a child or loved one
becomes ill or injured during the day, the employee can get to them quickly. The ERH 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.
9.12 Association for Commuter Transportation Memberships
The Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) supports individual
mobility management professionals and organization members in their
r efforts to reduce traffic congestion, conserve energy, and improve air
Association for Commuter Transportatlor quality. The building management at The Cove will join the local
Northern California Chapter of ACT. Tenants will also be encouraged to join ACT.
10.0 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. The Cove building
management and CTC will encourage tenants to offer their employees convenience amenities.
A list of required onsite amenities for the project includes:
The Cove Project Amenities
• Recreational greenbelt and patio areas
• Showers and clothes lockers
• Abundant bicycle lockers
• Shuttle stops
• Transportation and commute kiosks
• Transportation and commute resource Website
• Web link to e- Concierge personal services
• Campus Transportation Coordinator (CTC)
• Shell space provided for amenities within the campus, which could house one or more of
the following:
• Food service, cafe, beverage, and /or food vending machines
• Sundries and /or convenience store
• Postage and mail outlet
• Onsite credit union /ATM
• Exercise facility
• Childcare facility

May 31, 2013
As required by the City's TDM Ordinance, parking will be conveniently
located and free for all carpool, vanpool, and clean -fuel vehicle
participants. As needed, the Commute Program will be responsible for
monitoring the appropriate use of these designated parking spaces via
registration and /or permitting.
11.2 Car Share Options
The Cove building management may consider options for car sharing
services. Car sharing would provide employees access to onsite
vehicles for daytime use. The project may host a parking location for
one neighborhood Zipcar vehicle. Employees could receive a
membership discount for the Zipcar program and can utilize this
resource for midday travel needs.
Zipcar provides a
shared neighborhood
community or business vehicle(s) program. Zipcar
users sign up to become members with a nominal
annual fee and application fee. The vehicle is then
reserved online and accessed via a cardkey pass
system. Fuel and insurance is included in the cost
for the Zipcar. Mileage is typically allocated at 180
miles per day.
The Cove tenants /employers may establish an
onsite WeCar sharing program for employees.

responsible solution for reducing congestion, limiting vehicle ownership, and enhancing employee
transportation programs. Car sharing provides members with access to a fleet of cars for short -
term use throughout the day, thereby reducing the reliance on car ownership. The affordable
hourly rate covers the normal expense of owning a car, including maintenance, fuel, and
insurance. WeCar technology allows members to reserve cars online and then go directly to the
reserved vehicle, which are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
FURL Page 24
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
As a dedicated onsite fleet, the WeCar
program may provide many advantages.
Employees would have exclusive access to the
cars in the program. WeCar vehicles may also
be utilized for car sharing during the workday
and carpooling to and from home. WeCar
memberships could be provided for free to
employees.

The Oyster Point 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.
The South San Francisco Employer Shuttles, including the Oyster Point 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.
12.2 Additional Shuttle Services to The Cove
All commuters in the Oyster Point area may use the free shuttle resources provided by the
Gateway Campus shuttle (Genenbus). These shuttles provide service to the Millbrae Caltrain and
BART Intermodal Station. The shuttles provide ten (10) a.m. and ten (10) p.m. shuttle trips from
FOR Page 25
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan

the station. Caltrain operates Baby Bullet express services from the Millbrae Intermodal Station
which creates a time - savings advantage for some Caltrain riders.
The free Genenbus shuttles also serve the Glen Park BART Station in the City of San Francisco. This
shuttle provides 16 a.m. and 16 p.m. shuttle trips from the BART Station. The Glen Park BART
Station creates a cost - savings advantage for some BART riders. The Genenbus shuttle services are
not direct on -site for Cove commuters but are provided nearby at 330 Gateway Boulevard.
12.3 Downtown Dasher — midday 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 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
service is not a fixed route or fixed schedule service.
A detailed Downtown Dasher flier is provided as an
attachment.
12.4 Caltrain
Caltrain operates a frequent fixed -route commuter
rail service seven days a week between
San Francisco, through the Millbrae multimodal
station and continuing to San Jose, as well as limited
service to and from Gilroy on weekdays. Caltrain
operates on various frequencies during the peak
periods in the morning and evening. Service intervals
to South San Francisco indicate train frequencies
throughout the day ranging from 15 to 60 minutes.
Midday service operates approximately every hour.
Service is less frequent during weekends and
holidays. Bicycles are permitted on Caltrain. There
are no express Baby Bullet stops to the South San
Francisco Caltrain Station.
Caltrain service is available approximately 0.78 mile
from the project at the South San Francisco station
located at 590 Dubuque Avenue. Shuttle service from
the South San Francisco Station is provided by the
Oyster Point Shuttle and managed by the Alliance.

12.6 SamTrans
SamTrans provides bus service
throughout San Mateo County, with
connections to the Millbrae, San
Bruno, Daly City, South San Francisco
BART stations, San Francisco
International Airport, peninsula
Caltrain stations, and downtown San
Francisco.
However, there is no direct SamTrans
service east of Highway 101 in South
San Francisco. SamTrans service does
connect at the South San Francisco
BART Station and, subsequently, the
Oyster Point Area Shuttle Service that
drops off and picks up within one
block of The Cove project site.
It should be noted that SamTrans
does not provide a direct connection
May 31, 2013
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. Bicycles are
permitted on SamTrans buses.
12.7 Ferry Service
The San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) provides water
ferry services in the San Francisco Bay Area. New ferry service to South San Francisco was
established in June 2012. Scheduled water transit provides connectivity to and from the East Bay
(Oakland /Alameda) to South San Francisco via the Oyster Point Ferry Terminal. The ferry trip time
is estimated at 35 minutes. The South San Francisco Ferry Terminal is approximately 1.20 miles
from the project.
12.8 Commuter Choice — Pre -Tax Options (transit, vanpool, and bicycle)
On January 1, 2012, the transit benefit pre -tax option reverted back to $125 /month and the
parking benefit increased to $240 /month (up from $230). Commuters may take a tax -free salary
payroll deduction up to $125 per month per employee for vanpool and rail transit pass fares
through a voucher program (Commuter Check). Annually, this deduction offers the use of up to
$1,500 a year from salary as a pre -tax payroll deduction. This program encourages non - drive -alone
commute trips. Employers also receive a tax savings as a benefit of this program.
A $20 per month tax -free payroll deduction is now available to bicycle commuters. Bicycle
commuters can deduct up to $240 per year in pre -tax bicycle expenses.

12.7 Ferry Service
The San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) provides water
ferry services in the San Francisco Bay Area. New ferry service to South San Francisco was
established in June 2012. Scheduled water transit provides connectivity to and from the East Bay
(Oakland /Alameda) to South San Francisco via the Oyster Point Ferry Terminal. The ferry trip time
is estimated at 35 minutes. The South San Francisco Ferry Terminal is approximately 1.20 miles
from the project.
12.8 Commuter Choice — Pre -Tax Options (transit, vanpool, and bicycle)
On January 1, 2012, the transit benefit pre -tax option reverted back to $125 /month and the
parking benefit increased to $240 /month (up from $230). Commuters may take a tax -free salary
payroll deduction up to $125 per month per employee for vanpool and rail transit pass fares
through a voucher program (Commuter Check). Annually, this deduction offers the use of up to
$1,500 a year from salary as a pre -tax payroll deduction. This program encourages non - drive -alone
commute trips. Employers also receive a tax savings as a benefit of this program.
A $20 per month tax -free payroll deduction is now available to bicycle commuters. Bicycle
commuters can deduct up to $240 per year in pre -tax bicycle expenses.
FR Page 28
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
May 31, 2013
The Cove building management will encourage tenant - employers to offer this pre -tax option to
their employees who utilize other transit resources such as BART, Caltrain, ferry, or vanpools. The
law also allows employers to give employees the option to use payroll deductions to avoid paying
taxes on up to $125 a month in commuting costs. Alternatively, employers can share these costs
with their workers by paying part of their monthly commuting costs and allowing workers to pay
the balance using pre -tax dollars. Either way, both employers and their employees save money by
participating in this simple plan . 6
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.
This information can be found in the Internal Revenue Code Section 132 (F), as amended by TEA -21,
Title IX, Section 910.
12.9 Employer Commute Subsidies /Allowances and Parking Cash Out
As an employment benefit, employers of the project will be encouraged to offer their employees
commute subsidies or allowances to encourage them to use 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 items. Employers 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
as an employee benefit.
Parking cash out is a program that allows an employer to provide their employees with a choice of
forgoing subsidized parking for a cash payment equivalent to the cost of the parking space to the
employer. This program is applicable if parking spaces are included as part of a commercial
property lease to an employer and, as a result, are provided free to employees. Under this
program, employees of the commercial business would be given the option to elect a cash
payment to opt out of the use of an employer- subsidized parking space. The cash payment shall be
equal to the cost to the employer on a per space basis.
It should be noted that The Cove project will not require paid parking at this time.

13.1 Regional 511 Carpool and Vanpool Ride - Matching Services
The Regional 511 Rideshare Ride -match Service, commonly known as www.511.org, provides free
carpool and vanpool matching services. The Cove Commute Program will promote the online 511
service to employees on a regular basis and allow 511 to solicit carpool sign -ups at onsite
employer- sponsored events, such as annual transportation fairs and wellness and benefits events.
Employers can also research employee ZIP code data from employee records and offer to match
employees who live near one another.
The 511 system gives commuters the information they need to make more informed choices when
planning trips. By calling or logging in online, commuters can get up -to- the - minute information
about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing, and bicycling anytime and
anywhere throughout the greater Bay Area and Northern California.
The 511 system offers one -stop shopping for traffic, transit, rideshare, and bicycle information in
the region.

14.0 ALTERNATIVE WORK SCHEDULE INFRASTRUCTURE
An alternative work schedule (flextime, compressed work week, or telework programs) can be
beneficial in a number of ways. It can provide versatility, enabling employees to more conveniently
use rideshare options and avoid traffic congestion and transit crowding. It can also be an attractive
employee recruitment tool that allows employees to work around childcare or school schedules.
Employees may view alternative work schedule programs as a highly desirable benefit.
To maximize alternative mode -use, the project tenants /employer may offer or give preference for
alternative work schedules to employees who use or will use an alternative transportation mode.
The CTC will provide information to tenants regarding alternative work schedule options and
implementation formats.
14.1 Flextime Building Infrastructure
In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need special consideration for
their work start and finish times. For example, if an employee's workplace opens at 8:00 a.m. and
the carpool drops the employee off at 7:45 a.m., he /she must wait until the building opens.
Flextime allows the employer to adjust business open and close times to facilitate the use of
FOR Page 32
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
May 31, 2013
alternative commute modes. Most flextime programs establish a core period of time during which
all employees must be present. Employees can then adjust their start and finish times around this
period. Supervisors usually retain a significant degree of control over scheduling.
14.2 Teleworking Infrastructure
The project will provide the infrastructure necessary to support teleworking options. Teleworking
can be promoted by the project tenants /employers. If the tenant chooses to connect to the fiber
optics network, the infrastructure allows multiple data transmissions. Provision of this equipment
is part of ensuring that teleworkers enjoy fast, smooth data transmission between their workplace
and telework office. The CTC will provide information to tenants regarding teleworking and
implementation formats.
14.3 Compressed Work Week Building Infrastructure
Tenants /employers may allow compressed workweek options for employees, as needed. A
compressed workweek allows employees to work longer hours but shorter weeks. The shortened
workweek and shifted hours may help employees avoid rush -hour traffic and reduce the number
of commute days. Employees also have an additional day for leisure activities, personal business,
and family time. Compressed workweek systems can include:
• "9/80" schedule, in which employees work eight 9 -hour days (72 hours) plus one 8 -hour
day, totaling 80 hours over two weeks. This program allows employees to have one day off
every two weeks.
• "4/10" schedule, in which employees work four 10 -hour days per week. Employees
typically are divided into two groups: One group works Monday through Thursday, the
other group works Tuesday through Friday.
• "3/36" schedule, in which employees work three 12 -hour days per week. This plan allows
for days off other than just Monday or Friday. Employees are divided into five groups and
each group is assigned different days off.
The Cove CTC will provide information to tenants regarding compressed work week schedule
options and implementation formats. The tenants may offer this work schedule option to their
employees.

Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan May 31, 2013
15.0 ENFORCEMENT, MONITORING, AND REPORTING
Traffic congestion and air pollution are critical concerns. Traffic congestion results in lost time for
residents and commuters and increased demand on City fiscal resources for roadway construction
and maintenance. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "mobile sources
account for more than half of all the air pollution in the United States. The primary mobile source
of air pollution is the automobile.... today's motor vehicles are still responsible for up to half of all
the emissions released into the air.i9 "In the Bay Area, the transportation sector accounts for
more than 50 percent of air pollution, and more than 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. "10
Traffic congestion in San Mateo County and the City of South San Francisco contributes
significantly to local air pollution.
The intent of Chapter 20.400 of the City of South San Francisco's Municipal Code is to reduce SOV
trips and, in so doing, 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 development or project
application. Because the City's TDM Program is performance based (i.e., project alternative mode
usage and corresponding trip reduction of 35 percent), an annual evaluation program will allow
The Cove building management, tenants, employees, and the City to assess the effectiveness of
the unique program designed for their project and to make necessary adjustments to consistently
meet or exceed the requirement.
The Cove project will establish and maintain a 35 percent alternative transportation mode -use rate
and will be subject to annual monitoring.
15.1 Tenant Performance and Lease Language — TDM Requirements
The developer (and /or all future owners) will draft lease language or side agreements for all
tenants that require the identification of a designated employer contact responsible for
compliance and implementation of the TDM program (including annual survey and reporting and
registration in the Alliance's ERH program). The agreement language may also identify the tenant's
share of potential penalties for failure to achieve the 35 percent 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.
15.2 TDM Disclosure and Commitments
HCP will record appropriate instruments so that it and future property owners will acknowledge
obligations related to this TDM program, including TMA membership (e.g., Alliance participation,
annual survey and reporting) and compliance with The Cove TDM measures.

Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan May 31, 2013
15.3 City /County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C /CAG) Guidelines
C /CAG requires the developer and all subsequent tenants of a project to implement TDM
programs that have the capacity to reduce the demand for new peak hour trips. The purpose of
the monitoring program is to assess the compliance of the project with the final TDM plan. These
programs, once implemented, must be ongoing for the occupied life of the development. The local
jurisdiction must also agree to maintain data available for monitoring by C /CAG that supports the
ongoing compliance with the agreed -to trip reduction measures. The estimated C /CAG trip credit
accounting for the development is provided in Exhibit A.
The C /CAG trip credit accounting also meets the City of South San Francisco's requirement to
provide a completed checklist of trip reduction measures (Section 20.400.005, item A).
15.4 Annual Employee Commute Survey
The Cove annual employee five -day commute survey will be a critical part of the monitoring
process to evaluate and ensure the success of TDM measures. A report summarizing results from
an employee survey distributed and collected by the CTC will provide both quantitative data (e.g.,
mode split) and qualitative data (e.g., employee perception of the alternative transportation
programs). Employees who do not participate in the commute survey will be counted as drive -
alone or SOV commuters by default. This default mechanism will render conservative results.
Employees who carpool with only children will not be counted as a "commuter carpool" for
purposes of this survey. Building management and tenant - employers will strongly encourage,
support, and participate in the promotion and marketing of the annual employee survey.
Survey data may then be used to focus TDM marketing and the efforts of the CTC. The TDM
program could be re- tooled, if necessary, to maintain the project's 35 percent alternative
commute mode -use rates and commitment at the site.
15.5 Annual Employee Commute Survey Summary Report
Each year, building management, via The Cove employee commute survey data, will commission
an annual TDM summary report to be submitted to the City that documents the effectiveness of
the TDM Plan and the alternative mode -use with 35 percent achievement. The TDM summary
report will be prepared by an independent consultant, TMA, or rideshare agency that will work in
concert with the developer and CTC.
The initial annual employee survey (and subsequent surveys) will be conducted in the fourth
quarter of each year. If requested by the City, the report of the annual commute survey findings
will be presented annually to the Planning Commission and the City Council.
15.6 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Assessment
Each year, employee commute survey data will be used to assess GHG reduction benefits
generated by The Cove Commute Program. The annual employee alternative transportation mode -
use data will be used to calculate GHG savings associated with the non - drive -alone transportation
activities experienced at the project. This GHG assessment will provide supporting information for
the City of South San Francisco's annual reporting requirement to the California Air Resources
Board under SB 375.
FR Page 35
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
15.7 Triennial Audit and Report
May 31, 2013
A triennial report may also be required and would be conducted by the City at the City's discretion.
The triennial report will audit the project's TDM activities and state whether the development has
or has not achieved the required percent alternative mode -use rate. If the development has not
achieved the required mode -use rate, the applicant will be asked to:
• 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
If desired by the City, 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. Reports that indicate failure will be
submitted to the City Council. (Note: city audit methodology will be consistent orsimilar to the
TDM zoning ordinance requirements for annual reporting.)
15.8 Penalty Language for Non - Compliance
Annual reports and triennial reports will be submitted to City to monitor and document the
effectiveness of the TDM plan in achieving the goal of 35 percent alterative mode usage.
1) TDM Reports: The initial TDM report for each redeveloped building on the
property will be submitted two (2) years after the granting of a certificate of
occupancy with respect to the building, and this requirement will apply to all of
the redeveloped buildings on the property except the parking facilities. The
second and all later reports with respect to each building shall be included in an
annual comprehensive TDM report submitted to the City, covering all of the
redeveloped buildings on the property.
2) Report Requirements: The goal of the TDM program is to encourage alternative
mode usage, as defined in Chapter 20.400 of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code. The initial TDM report shall either: (1) state that the applicable property
has achieved the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage, based on the number of
employees in the redeveloped buildings at the time, providing supporting
statistics and analysis to establish attainment of the goal; or (2) state that the
applicable property has not achieved the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage,
providing an explanation of how and why the goal has not been reached, and a
description of additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to
attain the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage.
3) Penalty for Non - Compliance: If after the initial triennial report, the subsequent
triennial report indicates that, in spite of the changes in the TDM plan, the
Targeted Alternative Mode Usage is still not being achieved, or if Owner fails to
submit such a triennial report at the times described above, City may assess
Owner a penalty in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) per
FOR Page 36
Britannia Cove at Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan
May 31, 2013
year for each percentage point below the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage
goal.
In determining whether a financial penalty is appropriate, City may
consider whether Owner has made a good faith effort to meet the TDM
goals.
If City determines that Owner has made a good faith effort to meet the
TDM goals but a penalty is still imposed, such penalty sums, in the City's
sole discretion, may be used by Owner toward the implementation of the
TDM plan instead of being paid to City. If the penalty is used to implement
the TDM Plan, an Implementation Plan shall be reviewed and approved by
the City prior to expending any penalty funds.
iii. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any penalty shall bear the
same relationship to the maximum penalty as the completed construction
to which the penalty applies bears to the maximum amount of square feet
of Office, Commercial, Retail and Research and Development use
permitted to be constructed on the Property. For example, if there is
200,000 square feet of completed construction on the Property included
within the TDM report with respect to which the penalty is imposed, the
penalty would be determined by multiplying Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000.00) times a fraction, the numerator of which is 200,000 square
feet and the denominator of which is the maximum amount of square feet
of building construction, excluding parking facilities, permitted on the
Property; this amount would then be multiplied by the number of
percentage points below the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage goal.

16.0 CONCLUSION
May 31, 2013
The Cove TDM Plan was developed to meet the specific needs for the project. The TDM Plan
provides specific elements, measures, and actions that commit the employer to implementation.
This TDM Plan includes standard Code requirements, but is ultimately performance based and
directs the developer to enhance existing programs and future employer services and create a
formal project -wide commute program. Reduced parking options, on -site amenities, expanded
commute program marketing, ongoing employee outreach, a free guaranteed emergency ride
home program, annual survey and reporting, and a campus transportation coordinator will provide
the synergism needed to create an effective and successful program.
The language included in this TDM Plan provides very specific directions for the developer to use
for implementation and development of commuter programs. It outlines the steps necessary
(infrastructure, outreach, and promotions) for future tenants and employers to incorporate
employee transportation benefits and programs. The TDM Plan contains a specific stated goal for
achievement and financial penalties for non - compliance. Annual monitoring via surveys will
provide the documentation needed to demonstrate effectiveness and goal attainment and
requires the employer to identify additional TDM measures and programs they would implement if
the goal was not achieved.
HCP is committed to achieving a 35 percent alternative transportation mode -use rate. This TDM
Plan provides the details this commitment to the City of South San Francisco and designated
responsibility for implementation.
The Cove project supports the City of South San Francisco's policy of focusing clustered
development and reinforces the City of South San Francisco's green goals and practices.
In order to be part of the transportation solution, this project contains the density and mass
necessary to encourage the use of all alternative modes of transportation, including bicycling,
carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit. The Plan emphasizes TDM infrastructure, amenities and
outreach to cost - effectively reduce SOV trips. Ridesharing strategies are intended to maximize
existing transportation resources, support the goals and objectives of the General Plan, and
ultimately expand the reach of the transit system for commuters.
The City of South San Francisco has a long history of environmental stewardship in maintaining a
safe, healthy, and sustainable city. It recognizes the need for safeguards to protect the
environment, as well as the importance of maintaining a stable climate system for current and
future residents. By balancing these needs with economic growth, The Cove project will help the
community of South San Francisco thrive.

List of Carpool and Vanpool Incentive Programs
Carpool Incentive Programs
Carpool Rideshare Reward$ — Employees 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, commuters who
carpool 40 or more days during the program can enter a year -end drawing for $1,000 in gift
cards.
• Rideshare Reward$ for carpoolers area vailable from 511 for a limited period each year
(typically in spring) and are provided on a first -come, first- served basis until funds are depleted
(typically in June).
Carpool (HOV) Lanes — Carpool lanes, also known as high- occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, can
reduce your commute time. To drive in carpool lanes during your commute, you must be in a
carpool, vanpool, public transit vehicle, or riding a motorcycle. Single- occupant hybrid vehicles
may also be permitted in carpool lanes during designated commute hours (with designated
State permits). Carpool lanes vary in their hours of operation and the minimum number of
people per car. A list of HOV hours of operation and required number of passengers can be
found at www.rideshare.5ll.org. A violation of HOV lane use can result in a minimum $381
fine. During non - commute hours, carpool lanes revert to general traffic use.
• Park & Ride Lots — There are 150 free Park & Ride lots conveniently located throughout the
Bay Area, where commuters can meet carpool partners or their vanpool in a central location.
Many lots also feature easy access to transit connections. You do not need a car to use a Park
& Ride lot, as many lots also offer bike lockers. Park & Ride lot amenities and facilities vary, as
does the availability of security. Locations, which are listed on the 511 web site, may be
operated by government agencies, private businesses, or community organizations.
Commuters are encouraged to visit the lot before using it to review any posted information
and call the lot operator for overnight /extended parking restrictions.11
San Mateo County Commuters (Only) You Pool, We Pay! — Employees working at The Cove
who live in or commute through San Mateo County can participate in the "You Pool, We Pay!"
program offered by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance). When
employees form a new carpool with two or more people over the age of 18, or add a new
member to an existing carpool, all carpool participants receive a $60 gas card incentive. A
carpool incentive flier is provided as an attachment.
Discounted Bridge Tolls
Commuters can save time and commute toll -costs 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. Discounted tolls are only available for carpools,
hybrids, and hybrids with FasTrak, and only when in designated carpool lane(s).
11 rideshare .511.org /511maps /PandRText.asp
Vanpool Incentive Programs
$500 New Vanpool Formation Incentive — Newly formed vanpools are eligible to receive up to
$500 for starting a vanpool. Vanpooling is a less expensive, relaxing way to get to work, and the
511 Rideshare program offers the perfect incentive to start a vanpool — cash savings. 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 are offered
on a first -come, first - served basis until the funds are exhausted. Employers and /or 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. 12
$300 Vanpool Seat Subsidy — The 511 Regional Rideshare Program also offers 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.
• San Mateo County (Only) $500 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
$100 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.

4.0 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES
May 31, 2013
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.
Bicycle Parking - Long -Term and Short -Term
Free Class I and Class II bicycle parking facilities will be provided on -site for employees. Class I
(long -term) bicycle locker (capacity for two bicycles) or a covered, enclosed, secure area will be
provided to enhance the viability for bicycle commuters.
Class II bicycle racks (short -term parking) will be placed at the building site. Gateway Boulevard
is a designated bike route with lower traffic volumes. 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.
Note: The Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance provides a 50 percent 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.
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.

Hotel Addendum Preliminary TDM Measures
5.0 EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR
May 31, 2013
The hotel project will provide an 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 employees, producing on -site transportation and
promotional events, collaborating with the Alliance to maximize employer resources,
conducting the annual survey and report. TDM industry data supports that having an ETC has a
very positive impact on increasing alternative mode -use.
The ETC 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).
• 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, Water Ferry, 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, fliers,
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.
Employee Transportation Flier
At the time of occupancy and new hire, the employer will distribute an Employee
Transportation flier to all employees commuting to the project site. All subsequent new
employees will also receive the flier and commuter benefits and program training. This flier will
include (but not be limited to) information about carpool parking, transit opportunities, shuttle
services, bicycle routes and GRH information.
TDM Page 4
SPECIALISTS, INC.
Hotel Addendum Preliminary TDM Measures May 31, 2013
Promotional Programs
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 or promotions. These events 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, and 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 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.
Transportation Information for Visitors and Guests
The project will provide visitors and guests with transportation alternatives and information via
on -site services and materials. Transportation information will include the 30- minute shared
airport shuttles, free Millbrae shuttles, Bay Area bicycle trails, transit options (BART, Caltrain
and SamTrans) and taxi services.
6.0 ALTERNATIVE COMMUTE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES
The hotel employer 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.
The Commuter Choice option is a tax -free salary payroll deduction of up to $245 per month per
employee, for vanpool and rail transit pass fares through a voucher program (Commuter
Check). An employee can deduct up to $2,940 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.
TDM Page 5
SPECIALISTS, INC.
Hotel Addendum Preliminary TDM Measures May 31, 2013
7.0 GUARANTEED EMERGENCY RIDE HOME PROGRAM
The hotel project will be required to participate in the GRH program managed by the Alliance.
The Alliance covers 75 percent of the cost for GRH services. The employer pays the remaining
25 percent cost in the event an employee uses the service.
All employees who commute to work using transit, bicycle, or by carpool or vanpool, will be
guaranteed a free 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.
8.0 FLEXTIME
In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need special consideration
for their 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 hotel project will 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.
9.0 INFORMATION BOARD /KIOSK
One information board or kiosk will be located in the hotel in a common gathering area (e.g.
employee entrance, break or lunch room). The kiosks will contain transportation information,
including GRH information, transit and shuttle schedules, SamTrans, Caltrain, Water Ferry,
BART, Downtown Dasher, 511 ridematching and other related information. Information will be
updated periodically by the ETC or designated employer contact.

Hotel Addendum Preliminary TDM Measures
10.0 ON -SITE AND NEARBY PROJECT AMENITIES
May 31, 2013
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.
Cafe
An onsite cafe and vending machines will be provided on -site. Another 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.
Recreational Facilities
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.'
11.0 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
The hotel project will integrate with the transportation management association (TMA) known
as the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance. They 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 the project. The Alliance is a clearinghouse for information
about alternative commute programs, incentives, and transportation projects affecting San
Mateo County businesses. TMA's help businesses and employers work together to collectively
establish policies, programs and services to address local transportation problems.
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

12.0 MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT
May 31, 2013
The intent of the City of South San Francisco's Municipal Code is to reduce SOV trips and, in so
doing, 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 alternative mode usage and corresponding trip
reduction rate), an annual evaluation program will allow the hotel project 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.
The hotel project will establish and maintain the required trip reduction at the proposed project
site that is subject to annual monitoring.
Annual Employee Commute Survey and Report
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 project -ETC and /or designated employer representative. 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 percent plus one to create a statistically valid
survey.
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 alterative commute use rate
and commitment at the site.
A summary report based on results from the employee commute survey will be submitted each
year to the City of South San Francisco.
