East Jamie Court Preliminary TDM Plan
August 7, 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Traffic congestion and air pollution are critical concerns in maintaining a healthy
economy and lifestyle within the City of South San Francisco. Traffic congestion results
in time lost to residents and commuters, and increased demand on City fiscal resources
for roadway construction and maintenance. Mobile sources, such as automobiles,
account for 50% of all air pollution in South San Francisco.
The developer of the East Jamie Court project prepared a Preliminary Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) Plan in June 2002. This plan was designed to achieve a
28% alternative mode use that addresses both traffic and air quality concerns in South
San Francisco. The plan assumed occupancy based on a speculative tenant, 133,000
square foot building, 375 parking spaces and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.50. A copy of
the 2002 plan is provided in Exhibit A.
Modifications to the project increase the building size by 29,000 square feet, add 84
parking spaces and creates a FAR of 0.61. This plan, updated May 2006, includes City
ordinance-required and extra measures, annual survey monitoring and triennial
reporting. The plan has a variety of infrastructure and incentive-based measures which
encourage all forms of alternative mode use such as car and vanpool, transit and
shuttles, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting.
An important feature, although not a formal TDM plan measure, is the reduced level of
parking made available for the project. The project proposes a modest parking
availability with 14.4% less parking than code for the development at 2.83/1,000 square
feet. City code is 3.3/1,000 square feet. The reduced parking level will help to
discourage single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use. Other measures such as shuttles,
carpool spaces, showers and bicycle facilities, and commuter incentives, including the
Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program, will support employees who choose
alternatives to driving alone.
This plan is performance based. The modified project is required to achieve a 30%
alternative mode-use by tenant employees. The mode-use will be monitored annually
with the first employee commute survey to be conducted one year after occupancy. An
alternative mode-use summary report will be submitted to the City's Economic
Community Development Director after the annual employee commute survey has
been conducted. Every three years thereafter, a triennial report will be made to the City
to document the mode-use rate at the project.
Efforts to reduce drive-alone commuting and expand the mode options available to
commuters can take many years to develop and mature. The current commute
environment to San Mateo County and the City of South San Francisco will offer project
commuters lower levels of roadway congestion and higher highway travel speeds
according to recent regional surveys conducted by the Alliance and RIDES.
Correspondingly, the transportation alternatives available to commuters may be less
attractive when compared with the ease and convenience of driving alone. Reduced
traffic congestion contributes toward SOV usage. In addition, all tenant-employers and
their employees will be provided with free parking, which may further encourage
drive-alone usage.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The East Jamie Court project supports the City of South San Francisco's policy of
focusing clustered development along major transportation corridors. This project is
located near to and is served by u.s. Highway 101 and Interstate 280, a Caltrain station,
and a BART station.
The comprehensive plan of trip reduction measures identified in this report is essential
to realizing the trip reduction potential of the project. The combination of these critical
factors will provide the momentum to maintain a 30% alternative mode-use rate for this
project.
Through monitoring efforts, such as the annual survey of employees to determine
transportation mode split, the project will be able to better focus transportation
coordination efforts and encourage tenant employees to use alternative transportation.
The first mode-use survey report will be submitted to the City of South San Francisco
after one year of occupancy.
2.0 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT GOALS
The basic premise of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is the maximum
utilization of existing transportation resources. The City of South San Francisco, as is
typical of other urban areas in the United States, has hundreds of millions of dollars
invested in roadway infrastructure and public transit infrastructure. The goal of TDM
is to more efficiently and economically take advantage of these major capital
investments.
The following are three basic goals that can be achieved through effective utilization of
TDM measures:
1) Convert trips to an alternative mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpools or
vanpools, bicycling)
2) Provide technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid
vehicles, or other zero emission vehicles)
3) Eliminate trips (e.g., compressed work weeks, telecommute)
Until recently in the United States, the answer to relieving congestion on roads, and in
parking structures, was to build more roads and parking structures (similar in concept
to building another manufacturing plant to expand productivity on levels). Current
economics and limited resources affect the ability to build and maintain more roads or
parking structures. This reality necessitates better utilization of the existing
transportation infrastructure (similar to adding a second shift at an existing plant). To
this end, TDM measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative
transportation options.
The measures and programs outlined in this plan support and meet the 30% trip
reduction goal as identified in by the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance
1300-2001.
m The Hoyt Company
Page 1
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7,2006
Using the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance guidelines, the estimated
number of trips needed to meet a 30% reduction for the number of employees estimated
to occupy the project is 122.
This TDM Plan also meets many requirements of the Revised C/CAG Guidelines for the
Implementation of the Land Use Program approved by the City/County Association of
Governments (C/ CAG) of San Mateo County in September 2004. Trip credits identified
in this Preliminary TDM Plan for the project total more than 263. The C/ CAG
accounting of all trip credits applicable in this updated Preliminary TDM Plan is
provided in Exhibit B.
3.0 EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT EAST OF HIGHWAY 101
According to the Commute Profile 2005 Regional Report, prepared by RIDES for Bay
Area Commuters, the San Mateo County alternative mode-use rate is approximately
29% with the Bay Area regional rate comprising approximately 34% alternative modes.
The larger Bay Area alternative mode use rate is indicative of paid parking in the more
urban core areas, whereas parking is free or much less expensive in many areas of San
Mateo County (e.g. the City of South San Francisco).
The 2005 Employee Transportation Survey conducted by the Alliance identified the San
Mateo County alternative mode-use rate at 29.9%. The overall alternative mode-use
rate for the City of South San Francisco was identified at 30.2%.
,.(
In Fall 2005, an employee commute survey was conducted at a similar employment site
in South San Francisco at Britannia Oyster Point. Results from the survey indicated an
alternative commute mode rate of 35%. However, it should be noted that this nearby
employment site offers employee commute subsidies that enhance their alternative
mode-use performance. It is unknown if a future employer at the Jamie Court project
will offer subsidies to employee.
Table 1 shows the comparison of alternative mode-use rates for the Bay Area Region,
County of San Mateo, City of South San Francisco and a similar employer site.

Based on current and historical alternative mode-use data for the South San Francisco
and East of Highway 101 business areas, an example of estimated employee alternative
mode-use distribution was calculated. This estimate reflects the TDM measures
described in this plan but does not assume that commute subsidies are provided. Table
2 shows the various alternative transportation modes estimated for a life science tenant
at the East Jamie Court project.

The implementation of TDM measures identified in this plan will result in an estimated

of 405. This sample scenario provides a distribution example of employee alternative
transportation choices, depicting a typical workweek day, for the project. The actual
distribution of transportation modes could vary and will be clarified in the survey
results.

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
August 7, 2006
The project is a 6.13-acre project owned by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
(Alexandria) in the City of South S m Francisco located south of the u.s. Highway 101
in South San Francisco in an area bat is known as the birthplace of the biotechnology
industry.
The project is two Class-A office/hboratory buildings containing 162,000 square-feet.
The proposed construction consis1 s of two, three-story buildings and is intended to
accommodate life science and office tenants.
The project is designed to maximize opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle, carpool,
transit and shuttle connectivity. Forty carpool parking spaces are planned with one
space designated for a vanpool. Six Class I bicycle lockers and four bicycle racks will be
provided at the building for bicycle commuters at no charge to employees. Showers
and lockers will also be providl~d for bicycle, pedestrian and other alternative
commuters. Shuttle services to BART and Caltrain are located one block north from the
site on Haskins Way the project. Nearby food service is within two blocks and the Bay
Trails bicycle trails parallels the project helping to create a self sufficient development
reducing the number of trips made daily to and from the project.
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.61. This increased or bonus FAR requires the need for
more stringent employee surveys and triennial reporting to the City.
Parking will be provided at a ratio of 2.83 cars per 1,000 square-feet. Approximately 459
vehicle parking spaces (320 surface and 139 lower level garage spaces) are planned for
the site, a 14.4% reduction from city code.
A TDM site plan is provided on pa~ e 5. This site plan shows the location of preferential
parking, bicycle facilities, pedestrian connections and direct routes to transit. It also
depicts the location of showers and lockers, information kiosks and the recreational
greenbelt. Table 3 shows a summarV' of the project modifications.'

5.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT
5.1 Parking Supply
There will be a total of 459 surface and garage parking spaces.
The ability and willingness to rideshare is directly linked to parking availability. By not
providing an overabundance of parking spaces at full build out, the project is laying the
groundwork for successful promotion of alternative transportation. Preferential parking
spaces placed near the building entrances (within 100 feet of building entrances) are an
excellent incentive that sends a clear visual message to employees and the community
that alternative transportation is important.
The City parking code for this type of project is one space for each 250 square-feet for
the first 50,000 square feet and 3/1,000 square feet thereafter for the remaining 75,000
square feet. The East Jamie Court project is proposing a 2.83/1,000 square feet parking
ratio. This is a 14.4% reduction in on-site parking. Table 4 shows the reduction of
parking for the project.
Table 4
East Jamie Court Parking Assessment
536
459
(77)
14.4%
However, all employees will be provided with free parking which may encourage drive
alone usage.
5.2 Free Parking for Car and Vanpools and Clean Fuel Vehicles
Parking will be free for all carpool, vanpool and clean-fuel vehicle participants.
5.3 Preferential Car and Vanpool Parking
One effective means of encouraging employees to rideshare and/ or use a clean-fuel
vehicle is to reserve the most preferred parking spaces for the exclusive use of car and
vanpools. These preferred parking spaces will be designated with signage and
pavement striping.
Upon completion of this project, a minimum of 10% of employee parking will be
designated for carpool, vanpool, and clean-fuel vehicles. The project will provide 40
carpool parking spaces and one vanpool space in premium, convenient locations (i.e.,
close to buildings, in the shade, etc.) within 100 feet of the building entrance. These
preferential parking spaces will be specially signed and/ or striped and may require
employee registration and permitting.

August 7, 2006
5.4 Passenger Loading Zones
In order to facilitate disembarking and embarking of rideshare passengers, passenger
loading / unloading areas will be provided. Passenger loading zones for carpool and
vanpool drop off will be located in the main entrance north of the public plaza.
5.5 Motorcycle Parking
A secure area will be provided for motorcycle parking.
6.0 CARPOOL AND V ANPOOL RIDEMA TCHING SERVICE
Regional Rideshare Program's Ridematch Service, via 511.org and the Peninsula Traffic
Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance) provide free car and vanpool matching services.
On-site employer contacts will promote the on-line 511 service directly to employees on
a regular basis and allow the Alliance to solicit carpool sign-up at on-site employer
events such as annual Transportation Fairs, Wellness or Benefits events, etc.
Tenant/ employer contacts can also research employee ZIP code data from Human
Resource records and offer to match up employees who live near each other.
Car and vanpooling will be strongly encouraged at the project. An Employee
Transportation Flyer will be able to promote the free personalized matching assistance
through the 511 Rideshare and Alliance programs. This car and vanpool ridematching
service provides individuals with a computerized list of other commuters near their
employment or residential ZIP code, along with the closest cross street, phone number,
and hours they are available to commute to and from work. Individuals are then able
to select and contact others with whom they wish to car or vanpool. They will also be
given a list of existing car and vanpools in their residential area that they may be able to
join if vacancies exist.
The 511 system gives commuters the information they need to make more informed
choices when planning trips. By calling in or logging on, commuters can get up-to-the-
minute information about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing,
and bicycling anytime, anywhere throughout the greater Bay Area Region and northern
California.
The 511 system offers one-stop shopping for traffic, transit, rideshare and bicycle
information in the region. The nine-county system is the first 511 service to go online in
California. It provides links to 511 systems in Sacramento, Oregon and Nevada and is
available from any phone, provided the carrier supports 511. Most counties in the
region have wireless and landline access to the service through major carriers.

7.0 TRANSIT
Caltrain, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and SamTrans provide transit service to South
San Francisco in proximity to the project site. Shuttle services are provided from the
South San Francisco BART and South San Francisco Caltrain Stations providing links
for transit riders near to the project site.
7.1 Direct Route to Transit
A well-lit pedestrian path will be provided from the building, utilizing the most direct
route, to the nearest shuttle stop. East Jamie Court project transit riders will connect
with shuttles within two blocks at Haskin Way and Swift Avenue.
7.2 Shuttle Services to East Jamie Court
Working with the Alliance, the project utilizes a comprehensive shuttle system with
both peak period and lunchtime service (via the Downtown Dasher). Shuttle services
are provided near to the project site. A Utah-Grand Area Caltrain and a BART shuttle
offer 17 peak morning trips and 18 peak evening trips for employees. Daily shuttle
service totals 35 trips.
The Utah-Grand Area BART shuttle circulates between the South San Francisco BART
station and the project at 15, 30 and 45-minute frequencies. There are currently a total
of 18 BART shuttle trips to and from the project site.
The Utah-Grand Area Caltrain shuttle service circulates between the South San

7.3 Shuttle/Bus Stops
Shuttle drop-off and pick-up locations for commuter service, BART and Caltrain are
located off-site, within two blocks at Haskin Way and Swift Avenue.
7.4 Caltrain
Caltrain operates a frequent fixed-route commuter rail service seven days a week
between San Francisco and San Jose, as well as limited service to and from Gilroy on
weekdays. Caltrain operates on 15 to 30-minute frequencies during the peak periods in
the morning and evening. Midday service operates approximately every hour. Service
is less frequent during weekends, and holidays.
Caltrain service is available approximately 1.22 miles from the project at the South San
Francisco station located at 590 Dubuque Avenue and Grand Avenue. The Gateway
Area Caltrain Shuttle provides connecting service to the project site.
Caltrain services were enhanced in 2004 to add express trains during peak hours.
However, this new service does not provide an express stop to the South San Francisco
Caltrain Station and hence will not benefit employees at the 681 Gateway Boulevard
proj ect.
7.5 Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
BART is a 92.7-mile, 43-station automated rapid transit system located along five lines
of double track. Trains traveling up to 80 mph connect San Francisco to Colma and
other East Bay communities - north to Richmond, east to Pittsburg/Bay Point, west to
Dublin/ Pleasanton, and south to Fremont. Service is scheduled every 15 minutes
during peak periods. Service during Holidays, and weekends are modified.
BART-to-the-Airport expanded the system by 8.7 miles along the peninsula from Colma
to a new intermodal station in Millbrae. Four new stations were created inCluding the
South San Francisco Station located between EI Camino Real and Mission Road to the
south of Hickey Boulevard. The project is approximately 3.39 miles from the South San
Francisco BART Station.
7.6 SamTrans
SamTrans provides bus service throughout San Mateo County, with connections to the
Colma, Daly City, and South San Francisco BART stations, San Francisco International
Airport, peninsula Caltrain stations and downtown San Francisco.
The system connects with San Francisco Muni, AC Transit and Golden Gate Transit at
San Francisco's Transbay Terminal, with the Dumbarton Express and with Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority in Menlo Park and Palo Alto.
There is no direct SamTrans service east of Highway 101 area. SamTrans service does
connect at the South San Francisco BART Station and subsequently the Utah-Grand
Area Shuttle Service that drops off and picks up within two blocks at Haskin Way and
m The Hoyt Company
Page 10
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7, 2006
Swift Avenue. Sam Trans does not provide a direct connection to the South San
Francisco Caltrain Station, however; Routes 130, 292, 133, and 132 are within
approximately 1/ 4-mile walking distance from this station and the connecting shuttle
services near the project site.
7.7 Downtown Dasher Taxi Service
This free taxi service provides an 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. pick-up service throughout the
East Highway 101 business parks in South San Francisco. Using existing shuttle stops,
taxis drop off riders at locations in the downtown retail area. The Downtown Dasher,
operated by the Peninsula Yellow Cab of South San Francisco and managed by the
Alliance, requires an employer provided voucher and a trip reservation before
10:00 a.m. This midday service is currently free to participating employers. A detailed
Downtown Dasher flyer is provided as an attachment.
7.8 Ferry Service
Currently, no scheduled water transit service exists in the South San Francisco area.
Water transit service to South San Francisco is anticipated by September 2009. Prior to
this service becoming operational, employees will be given a link to this resource.
8.0 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES
8.1 Pedestrian Connections
A safe, convenient and well-lit pedestrian path is provided, utilizing the most direct
route, to the nearest shuttle stop close to the project. Lighting, landscaping and
building orientation is designed to enhance pedestrian safety.
8.2 Bicycle Parking - Long-Term and Short-Term
Free Class I and Class II bicycle parking facilities will be provided on-site as follows:
· Commercial, R&D, and office uses: one bicycle space for every 50 vehicle
spaces required.
· Restaurants, retail: one bicycle space for every 50 vehicle spaces required.
Six Class I (long-term) bicycle lockers or a covered, enclosed, secure area will be
provided to enhance the viability for bicycle commuters. These Class I bicycle lockers
and four Class II bicycle racks will be placed at the building. Table 6 shows the
recommended and total number of bicycle facilities for the proposed project. This level
of bicycle parking slightly exceeds the City's required parking levels.
Note: The Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance provides a 50% match for the costs of
purchasing and installing any bike parking, from basic racks to high security lockers, up to a
maximum of $500 per unit.

All bicycle parking facilities will be located in convenient, safe and well-lit areas with
maximum space for the ingress and egress of bicycles.
8.3 Bicycle Connections
The project has excellent connections directly parallel to south lot line to regional
bicycle facilities and 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. A map of surrounding bikeways is provided on page 13. A map
of the Bay Trails is provided on page 14.
8.4 Bicycle Resources
Free Bike Buddy matching, bicycle maps and resources are provided via the 511 system.
Bicycle commuters looking to find a riding partner can log-on to bicycling~,511.org for
more information. .
The Alliance provides a free one-hour, on-site Bike and Pedestrian Safety Program for
employees. This workshop teaches commuters about bicycling and walking as a safe,
stress-relieving commute mode; traffic laws for bicyclists and pedestrians; bicycle
maintenance tips; and offers a drawing for free bicycle-related prizes. A program flyer
is provided as an attachment.

9.0 EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR
The East Jamie Way 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
tenants and employees, producing on-site transportation fairs and promotional events,
collaborating with the Alliance to maximize employer resources, conducting the annual
survey and producing the triennial report. TDM industry data supports that having an
ETC has a very positive impact on increasing alternative mode use. This position will
be filled by:
Name:
TBD
Address:
East Jamie Court
South San Francisco, CA 94080
Phone:
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.
m The Hoyt Company
Page 15
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7, 2006
· 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, SamTrans, BART, the Alliance,
511 and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and post
informational materials on the transportation kiosks in employee common
areas, as well as disperse alternative program information to employees
via designated employer contacts, posters, flyers, banners, campus
newsletter, new employee orientation, etc.
· Participate in the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
Spare the Air program. Spare the Air day notices will be forwarded to
employees to encourage not driving to work alone.
· Coordinate and manage various aspects of the plan that require periodic
updating or monitoring, such as the GRH program, car and vanpool
registration, parking enforcement, locker assignment and enforcement.
9.1 Designated Employer Contact
The developer 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 East Jamie Court TDM program described in this plan. The designated
employer contact will maintain on-site TDM programs and employee outreach,
administrate the annual surveys and provide information continuity for the
developer/landlord and the City of South San Francisco.
9.2 Employee Transportation Flyer
At the time of move-in, the tenant will distribute an Employee Transportation Flyer to
all employees commuting to the project site. All subsequent new employees will also
receive the flyer and TMD benefits and program training. This flyer will include (but
not be limited to) information about carpool parking, transit opportunities, shuttle
services, bicycle routes and GRH information. A sample flyer is provided as an
attachment.
9.3 Promotional Programs
The future tenant, prior to occupancy, will host a pre-move Transportation Fair or
conduct a pre-move marketing campaign, with a heavy emphasis on carpooling, transit
and shuttle resources. Throughout the year, maintain employee awareness by hosting
m The Hoyt Company
Page 16
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7, 2006
other transportation fairs. As lunch-time events, these fairs will highlight transit and
trip-plannin ~ services and rideshare matching and other commute opportunities at the
new site. T le Transportation Fairs will bring together transit and transportation
providers (Caltrain, BART, SamTrans, the Alliance), bicycle advocates, ridematching
organizations (511), and the Employee Commute Program for a comprehensive
presentation.
Other events and promotions on-site at the project may include Bike to Work Week,
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
during lunch-time 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.
9.4 Tenant Training and Developer-Provided Resource Representative
If requested, Alexandria will provide the tenant(s) with TDM program start-up
assistance. A TDM resource representative can offer support, training and planning
assistance for the tenant's programs.
9.5 Transportation Information for Visitors and Applicants
Tenants will provide visitors and applicants with transportation alternatives and
information via the company Web site or on-site transportation kiosks.
10.0 AL TERNA TIVE COMMUTE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES
Tenants at the East Jamie Court project will be encouraged to offer their employees
some form of alternative commute incentive. Incentives may include a pre-tax, payroll
deduction (Commuter Choice) for transit and vanpool users, transit subsidies and/ or
commute subsidies.
The Commuter Choice option is a tax-free salary payroll deduction of up to $105 per
month per employee, for vanpool and rail transit pass fares through a voucher program
(Commuter Check). An employee can deduct up to $1,260 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.
Other carpool, vanpool and transit incentives are available to encourage employees to
try and use alternative transportation options.
m The Hoyt Company
Page 17
East Jamie Court Preliminary IDM Plan
August 7, 2006
10.1 Carpool Incentive Program
Employees at the East Jamie Court project can participate in the "You Pool, We Pay!"
program offered by the Alliance. Employees who are currently driving alone, and are
commuting to, from or through San Mateo County, are encouraged to try carpooling.
When employees form a new carpool with two or more people over the age of 18, or
add a new member to an existing car pool, all carpool participants will each receive a
$40 gas card incentive.1 A carpool program flyer is provided as an attachment.
10.2 511 Rideshare Reward$
Employees who carpool may register for rewards through the 511 rideshare program
Eligible carpoolers can earn $10 in gas or Safeway gift cards for every five days
carpooled, up to $100 over three months. As an added bonus, a lucky commuter who
carpools 40 or more days during the course of the program can enter a year-end
drawing for $1,000 in gift cards.
Rideshare Rewards runs from May 1 through October 31, 2006 on a first-come, first-
served basis until funds are depleted.
The new vanpool incentive will provide $300 to $900 in gas cards to new vans that meet
eligibility requirements and successfully complete three to nine consecutive months of
operation. The gas cards will also be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, until the
funds are exhausted. Employers and/ or individuals who start a new vanpool may be
eligible to receive the gas cards, which will be awarded to the party designated to
handle the vanpool's finances. A 511 Rideshare Reward$ application is provided as an
attachment.2
10.3 Vanpool Incentives
As an incentive for vanpooling, the Alliance will pay half of the cost for the first 3
months of vanpooling, up to $80 per month. Drivers of new vanpools, on the road for
at least 6 months, can receive $500.00. 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. A vanpool program flyer is provided as an
attachment.
10.4 Try Transit Program
The Alliance offers a Try Transit Program provides free transit tickets to people who are
interested in trying public transit to get to work. These tickets are meant for people who
are new to transit. Commuters requesting tickets must work, live in or drive through
San Mateo County. A copy of the Try Transit Program is provided as an attachment.

m The Hoyt Company
Page 18
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7, 2006
Transit ticket options include:
· One BART ticket
· 3 round-trip Caltrain tickets
· 6 one-way SamTrans tickets,
· 6 Dumbarton tickets
· 3 round-trip VT A tickets.
11.0 GUARANTEED RIDE HOME PROGRAM
The tenant will be required to participate in the GRH program managed by the
Alliance. The lease agreement will identify the process for the employer to register for
this program with the Alliance. The Alliance covers 75% of the cost for GRH services.
The employer pays the remaining 25% cost. A sample Alliance GRH program flyer is
provided as an attachment.
All employees who commute to work using transit, bicycle, or by carpool or vanpool,
will be guaranteed a ride home in the case of a personal emergency, or when they
unexpectedly have to work late thereby missing the last bus, or their normal carpool
home. The GRH program has proven very successful as it removes one of the major
objections employees have to giving up their private automobile, especially those with
young families.
The GRH program provides employees with a security blanket, a feeling of reassurance
that if a child becomes ill or injured during the day the employee can get to them
quickly. If employees need to work late and miss their bus or carpool, or if their
vanpool breaks down, they are guaranteed a ride home.
12.0 FLEXTIME
J
In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need special
consideration regarding 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 project will encourage that tenant(s) 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.
m The Hoyt Company
Page 19
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7, 2006
13.0 TELECOMMUTING
Telecommuting will be a viable option for employees at the East Jamie Court project.
Tenant-employers will be encouraged to write telecommuting policies. If requested,
tenants will be provided with information on the benefits of telecommuting.
The fiber optic network and infrastructure to support telecommuting is available in the
street and is available to building tenants. The project proponent will ensure all
buildings are "fiber ready". If the tenants so choose to connect to the fiber network,
these wires allow multiple data transmissions over phone/ cable lines and will speed
data transmission for the businesses in the project. Provision of this equipment is a part
of ensuring that telecommuters enjoy fast, smooth data transmission between their
workplace and telework office.
Telecommuting involves the use of telephones and computers to enable an employee to
work off-site or outside of the traditional work place. It can mean working at home or
at a telecenter. Many employers look at telecommuting as a way to reduce work-space
demand.
Telecommuting, used as a tool to reduce the cost of doing business and employee
commute trips, has proven to be very effective. The secondary and related benefits
include recruitment and retention value, reduced sick time and absenteeism, improved
productivity and morale, and reduced stress. The benefits mentioned above focus on
employers and employees, but telecommuting will also reduce our energy consumption
relating to commuting, vehicle miles traveled, and mobile source emissions.
14.0 INFORMATION BOARD/KIOSK
Two information boards or kiosks will be located in each building in a common
gathering area (e.g. lobby, employee entrance, break or lunch room). The kiosks will
contain transportation information, including GRH information, transit and shuttle
schedules, SamTrans, Caltrain, BART, Downtown Dasher, 511 ridematching and other
related information. Information will be updated periodically by the ETC or designated
employer contact. Kiosks can be wall-mounted or free-standing, rotating units.
15.0 ON-SITE AND NEARBY PROJECT AMENITIES
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.
m The Hoyt Company
Page 20
East Jamie Court Preliminary TOM Plan
August 7, 2006
15.1 Cafe
A cafe and bakery is located within a two-three block walking distance northwest of the
project site. This cafe is operated by a private vendor and is available to East Jamie
Court employees and the general public.
15.2 Recreational and Bicycle Facilities
A greenbelt area will be incorporated at the East Jamie Court site as part of the project
construction. This greenbelt area will offer project employees a recreational area for
walking, meditation or picnicking.
The Bay Trails project provides bicycle connectivity directly to the south of the project,
parallel with the property line, for commuters and recreational users. The Bay Trail is a
planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San
Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails. It will
connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties, link 47 cities, and cross the major
toll bridges in the region. To date, approximately 240 miles of the alignment-over half
the Bay Trail's ultimate length-have been completed.3
16.0 KICK-OFF EVENT
Upon 75% occupancy, the tenant will host a commute alternative kick-off
event/ celebration or employee marketing campaign. Transportation service providers,
such as BART, SamTrans, Caltrain, and the Alliance, will be invited to set up exhibit
booths/ tables. To encourage employee participation in the event, the tenant will
provide food, such as popcorn, hot dogs and refreshments, and give-a-ways, such as
commuter mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, etc. The tenant will set the date for the event
and advertise the event at least two weeks in advance.
,Of
17.0 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are typically private, nonprofit
organizations run by a voluntary Board of Directors with typically 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

The tenant 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
project tenants. The Alliance is a clearinghouse for information about alternative
commute programs, incentives, and transportation projects affecting San Mateo County
businesses.
18.0 COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT
The intent of the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance is to reduce single
occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips and in doing so lessen the resulting traffic congestion
and mobile source related air pollution. It is important to ensure TDM measures are
actually implemented and effective. Therefore a monitoring and enforcement program
is necessary for each application. Because the City's TDM Program is performance
based (i.e. project required percentage alternative mode usage and corresponding trip
reduction at 30%), an annual evaluation program will allow the East Jamie Court
project, Alexandria 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.
Alexandria's East Jamie Court will establish and maintain a 30% trip reduction at the
proposed project site that is subject to annual monitoring. Annual monitoring and
penalty programs are consistent with previously approved methodologies implemented
by the City of Sunnyvale at other project sites in the east of Highway 101 area.
Alexandria plans to voluntarily promote, encourage, and support alternative commute
mode usage for employees at the East Jamie Court project.
18.1 Annual Employee Commute Survey
An employee commute survey will be a critically important part of the monitoring
process to determine the success or failure of TDM measures. This report, via results
from an employee survey distributed and collected by the ETC will provide
quantitative data (e.g., mode split) and qualitative data (e.g., employee perception of the
alternative transportation programs). Employees who do not participate in commute
survey will be counted as drive-alone or SOV commuters by default. The tenant will be
strongly encouraged to support and participate in the promotion and marketing of the
annual employee survey. Lease language will identify this requirement.
Survey data may then be used to focus TDM marketing and the efforts of the ETC. The
TDM program could be re-tooled, if necessary, to maintain the project's 30% peak hour
alterative commute use rates and commitment at the site. A summary report based on
results from the employee commute survey will be submitted to the City of South San
Francisco and presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council.

18.2 Annual Summary Report
Each year, Alexandria via tenant-employee survey data, will prepare an annual TDM
summary report and submit same to the City to document the effectiveness of their
TDM Plan in achieving the goal of the alternative mode usage and 30% trip reduction
by employees within the Project. The TDM summary report will be prepared by an
independent consultant or TMA who will work in concert with the East Jamie Court
ETC. The TDM summary report will include a determination of historical employee
commute methods provided by information obtained from a survey of all employees
working in the building.
If the trip reduction rates have not been achieved, the report will explain how and why
the goal was not reached and specify additional measures and activities that will be
implemented in the coming year to improve the modes use rate.
The initial TDM summary report on the Property will be submitted within one (1) year
and each year thereafter following the granting of a certificate of occupancy with
respect to the building. The survey reporting is targeted for the 4th quarter of each
year.
18.3 Triennial Report
For projects with increased FAR, a triennial report will also be required. Modifications
to the East Jamie Court project have increased the FAR and require the project to
conduct the triennial report. The triennial report will state whether the development
has or has not achieved the required percent alternative mode-use. If the development
had not achieved the require modes use, the applicant will:
· Explain how and why the goals have not been reached
· Describe additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to attain
the required mode-use rate
· Provide an implementation schedule by month of additional measures
The triennial report will also include a comparison of historical responses on the survey
and identify if mode share has changed significantly and describe in detail as to why
the mode share changed. The Chief Planner will review reports. Reports that indicate
failure, will be submitted to the City Council.
18.4 Penalty for Noncompliance
If after the initial triennial report, the subsequent triennial report indicates that, in spite
of the changes in the Final TDM Plan, the required alternative mode-use is still not
being achieved, or if the applicant fails to submit a triennial report, the City may assess
a penalty. The penalty shall be established by City Council resolution on the basis of
the project size and actual percentage alternative mode use as compared to the percent
alternative mode use established in the TDM Plan.4

18.5 Lease Language
The developer will draft lease language for all tenants that require the designated
employer contact, compliance and implementation of the TDM program (including
annual survey and reporting, and registration in the Alliance Guaranteed Ride Home
Program). The lease language will also identify the tenant's potential penalties for
failure to achieve the 30% 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.
The lease language will be worded similarly:
Tenant hereby agrees to designate one of its employees to act as a liaison with Landlord to
facilitate and coordinate such programs as may be required by governmental agencies to reduce
the traffic generated by the East Jamie Court project as required by the City of South San
Francisco as part of conditions of approval and to encourage the use of public transportation and
ridesharing.
19.0 CONCLUSION
The developer is committed to achieving and maintaining a 30% employee alternative
mode use at the proposed project. This TDM Plan provides the details of their
commitment to the City of South San Francisco.
The East Jamie Court project supports the policies of focusing clustered development
along transportation corridors (Highway 101 and 1-280), and transit corridors (Caltrain
and BART).
In order to be part of the transportation solution, this project contains the density and
critical mass necessary to encourage the use of all alternative modes of transportation
including bicycling, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit.'
By balancing air quality with economic growth, the East Jamie Court project will help
South San Francisco thrive as a community. It is projects like these that will contribute
to South San Francisco's future livelihood.

Transportation Demand Management Program
-An overview-
a. Alexandria Real Estate Equities ("Alexandria") is committed to being a good
neighbor in the community and understands the importance of minimizing
environmental impacts in the South San Francisco Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes
Industrial Park. Alexandria realizes that informing tenants of the alternative
methods of commuting available will lead to reductions in congestion and
pollution and have a positive contribution to the community. Alexandria desires to
attract and retain excellent tenants, offer an attractive worksite, as well as a
creative, productive, and comfortable environment for its employees. Alexandria
is committed to encourage and assist tenants to develop and utilize an extensive
and innovative, Transportation Demand Management Program.
b. Alexandria shall require all tenants to designate at least one employee as a
TDM "point of contact" representative within their respective company.
Alexandria shall coordinate the training of such personnel. Alexandria will also
designate an Alexandria representative to serve as a resource to each tenant-
appointed TDM personnel. Such representative will be available via telephone or
email to assist with commute questions, concerns, or transit service problems.
This employee will prepare historical surveyed commute records for annual
submission of a TDM Report to the City of South San Francisco Planning
Department. All new tenants and their employees shall be required to participate
in a "new employee orientation program". Most importantly, this program will
explain the importance of trip reduction methods and their benefits to the
community. The program orientation will also address the TDM mission
statement, alternative commute options, provide transit schedules, maps, and
offer free ride matching services. All new employees shall complete a commuter
survey indicating the modes of commuting available, and what their expected
mode would be.
c. Alexandria will promote the use of the existing Peninsula Congestion Relief
Alliance's ("Alliance"), Utah! East Grand Shuttle Bus System, and the use of
public transit modes of travel. These commuter shuttles operate during peak
commute hours to the South San Francisco CalTrain Station, and to the San
Francisco Glen Park Bart Station. Appropriate areas shall be designated for
passenger loading, as well as adequate sheltered waiting areas, such as the
building lobby.
?
d. Alexandria will advocate to its tenants the use of the Alliance "Emergency Ride
Home" program. This allows employees who utilize alternative forms of
commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to four times per year via
taxicabs or rental cars. Alexandria will assist tenants in procuring grant monies
available for such programs.
e. Alexandria will encourage its tenants to sponsor taxi vouchers for the
transportation of employees for medical appointments, during regular business
hours. A typical program would apply to round trip transportation, (20 miles each
way), up to two times per year. This is an incentive to not bring a vehicle to work
(or to use one).
f. Per the Commuter Check Program, pre tax payroll deductions will allow up to
$100.00 per month for public transit passes, and the expense for participating in
van pools. In addition, Alexandria will encourage its tenants to subsidize and
match each additional dollar for this program up to $50.00 per month, per
participant.
g. Van pools will be provided by tenants as an attractive method of commuting.
Van pools will be established, subject to economic feasibility and employee
participation. Alexandria will reimburse the primary and secondary drivers for
required medical exams. Dedicated "preferential parking" areas will be provided
in highly visible and signed, areas. Passenger loading areas shall be designated.
h. Bicycling will be a viable commute option. Alexandria will require its tenants to
include shower facilities within their buildings to help promote cycling as an
alternate commute option. Alexandria will designate specific common area
locations within the project for bicycle lockers or racks. Alexandria will also
petition existing shuttle operators to include equipment on transit shuttles to
accommodate bicycles. Common bicycle and transit commute routes will be
shared and published.
i. Alexandria will designate secure areas for motorcycles. These signed areas will
be equipped with methods of impact protection from moving vehicular traffic.
j. Alexandria will supply tenants with information to assist them in developing a
formal telecommuting program to be available for selected employees;
dependent upon position and specific work requirements. This information will
include "how to" instructions, including sample contracts between management
and employees, feedback mechanisms, with ergonomics, insurance and worker's
compensation issues.
k. Taxicab vouchers will be available for local business transportation, including
travel to and from the S.F.O. International Airport. Visitor promotional materials
will be available to promote the use of public transit to / from SFO Airport.
~
Tenants will be encouraged to subsidize one-way taxi rides as incentives. Taxi
loading zones will be designated.
I. The S.S.F. Downtown Dasher program will be promoted for mid day travel to
the downtown area.
m. Tenants will be required to provide visitors and job applicants with the local
public transportation options, shuttle schedules, and transit maps for the area, to
encourage the use of public transit.
n. Alexandria will expedite through the tenant TDM "point of contact" personnel,
employee surveys to determine current modes of commuting. The surveys will be
conducted via e-mail, or other acceptable methods of communication. Non-
responses to commute surveys are to be counted as "drive alone".
o. Tenants will be encouraged to participate in the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District's "Spare the Air" program during unhealthy weather
conditions. Participants will be requested to not drive to work alone, and seek
other methods of commuting. Enrollment will be via the BAAQMD Web page, and
a "Spare the Air Day' notification will be sent via e-mail, as soon as it is
forecasted. Participation in other local ride share promotions throughout the
year, will also be encouraged.
p Alexandria will make an annual financial contribution to RIDES For Bay Area
Commuters, "Ride Your Bike to Work Week", promotion, to help promote bicycle
commuting.
. q. Chartering of busses for group activities and off site meetings will be
encouraged. Services provided by tenants will include booking, group discounts,
invoicing, and special services, as needed.
r. At the time that commuter Bay Ferry Services are available, Alexandria will
investigate including commuter transportation links to the proposed Oyster Point
Ferry Terminal.

Transportation Demand Management Program
for
Alexandria Real Estate Equities
Haskins Way and Jamie Court Projects,
South San Francisco, California
Alexandria is committed to developing an environmentally conscious project
complete with an effective Transportation Demand Management (TOM) program.
Alexandria will encourage its tenants to consider the program as part of a
comprehensive benefit package designed to attract and retain quality employees.
Alexandria will educate tenants about commuting alternatives in efforts to foster
increased community awareness.
The proposed full project build out population based on 100% R&D use, is
approximately 330 employees, in two buildings, for a total project of 133,000
square feet. (2.5 employees per 1,000 square feet). A surface parking area, with
a one level underground parking garage (55 spaces) is also part of this
development.
Projected individual element goals are based on the level of employee
participation (28%, or 93 employees) utilizing commute alternatives. It is
anticipated that the level of employee participation will increase over time, due to
the expanded TOM program efforts and incentives offered to employees.
This enhanced TOM Program identifies the methods that will meet, and exceed
this goal of commute trip reduction.
This project is intended to be developed in two construction phases, Building No.
1, with 57,600 square feet, (44% of project) during 2003, and Building No.2,
which will consist of 75,400 square feet, (56% of project) during 2004.
!;
A. PROGRAM ELEMENTS:
1. New employees shall be required to participate in a new employee orientation
program. This program will explain the TDM Mission Statement, explain
alternative commute options, and provide transit schedules, maps, and offer free
ride matching services to encourage the formation of carpools. All new
employees will complete an "Initial Commuter Survey". The survey will ask new
employees to select their expected mode(s) of transportation from a list of
commuting options available to the project. This method has been proven to be a
very effective means to promote alternative commute patterns, before new
employees commuting habits are established. Passenger drop off and loading
areas shall be designated. Carpools shall have a minimum of ten percent of the
preferential parking areas in the garage.
Carpools:
Phase 1
Program goal: 13
Employee trips saved daily: 13
Phase 2
Program goal: 17
Employee trips saved daily: 17
Total element goal: 30
2. The program will effectively promote the use of the existing Alliance Shuttle
Bus System, and the use of mixed public transit modes. Commuter shuttles
operate during peak commute hours to the South San Francisco CalTrain
Station, and to the San Francisco Glen Park Bart Station. The Alliance has
confirmed that capacity and willingness to accommodate additional users should
not be a problem. Employer operated shuttles connecting to public transit have
been identified as the most effective marketing method of attracting passengers
to public transit systems. (Source: SamTrans and CalTrain 20 year marketing
plans). Shuttle shelters will be included, as appropriate.
Shuttles:
Phase 1
Program goal: 15
Employee trips saved daily: 15
Phase 2
Program goal: 18
Employee trips saved daily: 18
R
Total element goal: 33
(Additional daytime trips are also saved utilizing available alternative
transportation modes, for lunches, errands, and medical appointments, although
not part of these figures).
3. The program will advocate to its tenants the use of the Peninsula Congestion
Relief Alliance's "Emergency Ride Home" program. This allows employees who
utilize alternative forms of commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to
four times per year via taxicabs or rental cars. (50% grant matching funds are
available to the employers that participate in this program). These types of
programs have been identified as the number one incentive for employees to
rideshare. Employers have seen increases of 15-20% in ridesharing when this
type of program is offered to employees (Source: RIDES 1999 Commute
Survey). This program will promote an increased use of alternative transit,
however some employees will already be using these modes. It is a deciding
factor in not driving alone, and a valuable method to deal with the unknown
urgent need for an employee to quickly get home for emergencies.
ERH:
Phase 1
Program goal: 8% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit.
Phase 2
Program goal: 10% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit.
Total element goal: 18% Indirect program benefit
4. Alexandria will encourage tenants to provide transportation for employee
medical appointments, during regular business hours, via taxi vouchers, for a
round trip, up to two times per year. This is an incentive to not bring a vehicle to
work.
Phase 1
Program goal: 1% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit
Phase 2
Program goal: 1% of employees

5.Per the Commuter Check Program, pre tax payroll deductions will allow the
employee up to $100.00 per month for public transit passes, and the expense for
participating in vanpools. In addition, Alexandria will encourage its tenants to
subsidize and match this program up to $ 50.00 per month, per participant.
Transit pass subsidies of as little as $15.00 per month has shown a significant
increase in monthly commute pass sales in other areas of the state. (Source: The
Hoyt Company).
Phase 1
Program goal: 5% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit
Phase 2
Program goal: 7% of employees
Employee trips saved daily: Indirect program benefit
Total element goal: 12% Indirect program benefit
6. Van pools will be provided by tenants as an attractive method of commuting.
Van pools will be established, and subsidized, subject to economic feasibility and
employee participation. Alexandria will reimburse the primary and secondary
drivers for required medical exams. Advertising methods such as "wrapping" the
van pools may subsidize some of the operating expenses. Dedicated "preferential
parking" areas will be provided in highly visible areas. Subsidies for van pools by
employers, is the most desired factor in deciding to vanpool (Source: RIDES
2000 Commute Profile).
Vanpools:
Phase 1
Program goal: 9
Employee trips saved daily: 9
Phase 2
Program goal: 11
Employee trips saved daily: 11
Total element goal: 20
7. Bicycling will be promoted as a viable commute option. Bicycle lockers,
storage areas, racks, and showers, will be available. The local Bayside Trail
provides important trail links to other areas. Common bicycle and transit
commute routes of the employees in the area will be shared and published.
Bicycles:
Phase 1
R
Program goal: 3
Employee trips saved daily: 3
Phase 2

Total element goal: 6
8. Motorcycles will be accommodated in secure, signed designated areas, with
methods of impact protection from automobile traffic. Motorcycles pollute less,
may use carpool lanes, and cross toll bridges during commute hours for free.
Motorcycles:
Phase 1
Program goal: 1
Employee trips saved daily: 1
Phase 2
Program goal: 1
Employee trips saved daily: 1
Total element goal: 2
9.Telecommuting reduces both traffic and the need for employee parking
facilities. Alexandria will supply tenants with information to assist them in
developing a formal telecommuting program with "how- to" instructions, including
contracts between management and the employees, feedback mechanisms,
ergonomics, insurance and worker's compensation issues. The information will
also include suggestions for possible methods to track telecommuting days.
Telecommuting:
Phase 1
Program goal: 1

11. The S.S.F. Downtown Dasher program will be promoted for midday travel to
the downtown area. Alexandria will encourage its tenants to pay for round trip
program vouchers. Indirect commute impact.
12. Tenants will be required to provide visitors and job applicants with public
transportation options, shuttle schedules, and transit maps for the area, to
promote the use of public transit. Indirect beneficial impact to program.
13. Employee surveys shall be conducted to determine current modes of
commuting. The surveys will be conducted via e-mail. Non-responses to
commute surveys are to be counted as "drive alone". Indirect benefit to program.
14. An employee contact person will be available to answer commute questions,
concerns, or transit problems. This employee will be available via telephone or e-
mail. This employee will prepare historical surveyed commute records, for annual
submission of a TOM Report to the City of South San Francisco Planning
Department. This person will work in conjunction with the Peninsula Congestion
Relief Alliance to assist in the promotion of ridesharing programs, and events.
Indirect benefit to program.
15. Employees will be encouraged to participate in the Bay Area Air Quality
District's "Spare the Air" program during unhealthy weather conditions.
Participants will be requested to not drive to work alone, and seek other methods
of commuting. Enrollment will be via the BAAQMD Web page, and "Spare the Air
Day' notification will be sent via e-mail, as soon as it is forecasted. Indirect
benefit to program.
B. MEASURING TOM PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS:
Alternative methods of commute modes:
New TOM Program Gains: (eliminate trips
( 9.0%) Carpools: 30 round trips per day
(10.0%) Shuttles: 33 round trips per day
( 6.0%) Vanpools: 20 round trips per day
( 2.0%) Bicycles: 6 round trips per day
( 0.5%) Motorcycles: 2 round trips per day
( 1.0%) Telecommuting: 3 round trips per day
(28.5%)
TOTAL: 94 round trips/ day reduced
10
New program goal: 94 new reduced round trips, per day
(93 would be required)
TOM Program gains: 94 round trips per day (reduction)
Employee daily trips saved: 94
Projected Employee Participation Goal: 28.5%
C. The City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) Project Guidelines:
The designed TOM program is required to have the capacity to fully mitigate the
193 new peak a.m., and 184 p.m. commute trips that would be generated by this
project:

An employee participation level of 28.5% indicates that with a projected
population of 330 employees, the potential of 93 employees could actively
participate in alternative modes of commuting. TOM Program offerings could
reasonably eliminate 94 daily round commute trips at this project location.
One per every 3 (1)
Two per ea. (4)
Two per round trip seat (13)
One per ea. $20./month min. (33)
Two per space (12)
Seven per space (3)
Ten per space
One per every two members (100)
Total trip credits:
In addition, alternative mid day transportation options are to be made available to
reduce the need for a vehicle. (These methods are very effective in reducing
congestion, parking demands, and reducing "cold start" pollution sources,
although not used in the calculated daily trip reduction figures). On site amenities
will further reduce the need for mid day travel, and parking demand. Attractive
options to driving alone will be supported, and with the available choices of
transit options, employer subsidies, and marketing, this program can be an
effective tool to encourage commuters to forgo drive alone situations.
11
The new TOM Plan identifies the need of a total of 93 daily commute trip
reductions, at full project completion and activation. Employee and tenant
surveys will provide sufficient feedback on the success and effectiveness of this
program.
Management supports, and understands the importance of an effective TOM
Program, as part of a proven, progressive business environment.

1. A new primary driver or new driver/coordinator registers with the 511 Regional
Rideshare Program and forms a new vanpool*, AND
2. The van stays on the road with at least seven passengers for three to nine
consecutive months, AND
3. The van pool has an origin or destination within the 511 Regional Rideshare
Program service areat, AND
4. The coordinator or driver has provided a complete list of passengers and
current day-time contact information for months one, three, six and nine, AND
5. The new van has no more than 40 percent participants from a previous van
operating in the last 180 days and the previous van must still be on the road,
AND
6. The van meets all of the eligibility requirements.
Register online to become a vanpool driver or contact a 511 Regional Rideshare
Program Van pool Consultant by calling 511, say Rideshare,
* Only employers and/or individuals who have financial responsibility for the van and
who register and form a van pool with the 511 Regional Rideshare Program after April
1, 2004, are eligible. Definition of a new vanpool is any van with seven to 15
passengers that meets all of the following criteria: (1) new coordinator/primary driver
in the 511 Regional Rideshare Program's database who has not been in an active
vanpool for the last six months, (2) new route (city to city), (3) new vehicle on the
road. Upon van formation, all drivers/coordinators must submit an Eligibility
Requirements Form, which is a van pool passenger list, for months one, three, six
and nine as proof of campaign eligibility. Random calls will be made following the
submission of each of the four passenger lists to van pool participants for
verification that at least seven passengers are present in the van pool. $300 to $900
in gas cards will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, until all funds are
exhausted to vans that meet all eligibility requirements. Qualified recipients of the
gas card incentive will be notified by phone within thirty (30) days after completion
of the third, sixth and ninth months. The 511 Regional Rideshare Program reserves
the right to make the final determination of eligibility on a case-by-case basis. The
incentive is designed to foster new vans rather than rearranging the current fleet.
Exceptions may be made for vans that are clearly new (e,g., a former coordinator
from the East Bay moves to the South Bay, etc). Any discrepancies in information
gathered during verification calls may disqualify the van. If conflicting information is
provided, preference will be given to information that disqualifies the van.

Tired and frustrated with driving alone on your long commute to work every day?
Interested in public transportation options, but never taken the time to try it?
If you're over 18, live or work in San Mateo County and have not used public transportation to

. Use the new found time you have to read, talk with friends, or get ahead at work

. Help reduce environmental pollution and overcrowded roads
. Use pre-tax dollars to pay for your public transportation expenses

EMERGE "CY RIDE HOME
PROGRA VI
Are you ready to improve recruitment and retention rates, reduce
parking congestion, and attract employees from a wider area, while
providing a subsidized, low cost benefit to your employees?
Do it all with the Alliance's
Emergency Ride Home Program
Most employees choose to drive their own personal vehicle to work
because they don't want to be stranded at work should an
emergency arise. With the Emergency Ride Home program,
employees are given the assurance that, in the case of an
emergency, they will be provided with a free taxi ride or a 24-hour
car rental.
We pay 75% of the ride!
The participating employer pays the remaining 25%. Historically,
program costs remain very low because emergencies are
infrequent. The Alliance can help you design easy administration
policies that prevent program abuse.
