1.lNTRODIJCT10N
Stulunuller Propeny Company is proposing to develop a 102.200-square foot (s.f.) office
building at 180 Oyster Point Boulevard in South San Francisco, California. The proposed
office development is estimated to generate 148 A.M and 141 PM peak-hour trips (the trip
generation table is presented in the Appendix). A Transporzation Demand Management
(TDM) Plan was prepared to identify measures to reduce the number of single-occupant
automobile trips generated by the proposed project and thus reduce the traffic impacts of the
project. The proposed site plan is shown on Figure 1.
A Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan is a set of strategies, measures and
incentives to encourage the employees to walk, bicycle, use public transportation, carpool or
use other alternatives to driving alone. TDM measures produce more mobility using existing
transportation systems, boost economic efficiency of the current transportation infrastructure,
improve air quality, save energy, and reduce traffic congestion.
Convenience and cost are the primary factors that affect a person's choice of transportation
mode. Measures that work well for some people or types of businesses do not work as well
for others. Therefore, an effective TDM plan or program provides multiple options and
incentives and is flexible enough to allow customization to meet the varied needs of
individuals and individual employers. This program presents an array of proven strategies
and measures used in the Bay Area under a flexible implementation plan that can meet the
needs of existing and future tenants.
The TDM plan was developed based on guidelines provided by the City of South San
Francisco and the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG); the local Congestion
Management Agency for San Mateo County. City of South San Francisco draft guidelines for
TDM programs require that all projects obtain a goal of 35 percent alternative mode use.
C/CAG guidelines require developments to implement TDM measures that have the capacity
to mitigate all new peak hour trips.
The transportation facilities serving the site are described in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents
the draft City of South San Francisco TDM guidelines, and C/CAG TDM guidelines are
contained in Chapter 4. The transportation demand management measures selected for the
project are presented in Chapter 5. A brief summary is presented in Chapter 6.

2. EX1STING TRANSPORTAT10N SVSTE1\1
The proposed 1 02.206-square foot office building is located at 180 Oyster Point Boulevard in
South San Francisco, California. The site location is shown on Figure 2.
The existing transportation facilities that support alternative (non-automobile) mode use
includes those that provide transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access to the site. These facilities
are described in detail below.
Transit (Bus and Commuter Rail) Service
San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) operates bus service in San Mateo County.
Commuter rail service (CalTrain) is provided from San Francisco to Gilroy by the Peninsula
Corridor Joint Powers Board. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is provided near the project
site. The existing transit facilities near the site are shown on Figure 3 and described in detail
below:
CalTrain provides frequent train service between San .lose and San Francisco seven days a
week. During commute hours, CalTrain provides extended service to Morgan Hill and
Gilroy. The South San Francisco station at Dubuque Avenue and Grand Avenue is located in
the vicinity of the project site. The following CalTrain shuttle buses provide service to office
buildings nearby: Utah-Grand Area Shuttle-Oyster Point Employer and Gateway Area
Shuttle. The Utah-Grand Area Shuttle-Oyster Point Employer shuttle serves nearby
developments on Eccles A venue. The Gateway Area shuttle serves nearby developments
along Gateway Boulevard and operates along Oyster Point Boulevard past the project site.
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) provides rail service between the East Bay (Richmond,
Pittsburg, Pleasanton, and Fremont) and San Francisco. The closest station to the project site
is the Glen Park BART station. Three BART shuttles, Utah-Grand Area, Oyster Point Area,
and Gateway Area, TUn identical routes as the CalTrain shuttles.
Sam Trans Route 34 provides bus service between Tanforan Shopping Center and Geneva
A venue in San Francisco. Route 34 operates along Airport Boulevard and stops at Airport
Boulevard/Linden A venue in the vicinity of the project site. Route 34 provides three
northbound trips and three southbound trips between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm on weekdays.
No weekend service is provided.
SamTrans Route 292 provides bus service between the Hillsdale Shopping Center and the
Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco. This bus route operates along Airport
Boulevard and stops at Airport BoulevardlBaden Avenue in the vicinity of the project site.
The hours of operation are 5:00 am to 2:00 am on weekdays and weekends. Commute and
midday headways are 30 minutes apart on weekdays and weekends. Headways are 60
minutes during the evenings.

4. CITy/COUNTY ASSOCIAT10N OF GOVERNJ\1ENT (C/CAG)
TRANSPORT A TJON DEJ\1AND l\1ANAGEJ\1ENT PLAN GUIDELINES
C/CAG is the Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo County that develops the
Congestion Management Program (CMP). As part of the land use element of the CMP, all
projects that generate 100 or more net new trips during the AM or PM peak hour are required
to mitigate the impacts of all new generated nips. One of the five possible ways to mitigate
these trips is to implement TDM programs that have the capacity to fully reduce the demand
for new peak hour trips.
C/CAG has identified acceptable TDM measures with equivalent numbers of peak-hour trips
that will be reduced with implementation of each measure. Measures can be mixed and
matched so that the total number of mitigated nips is equal to or greater than the new peak-
hour trips generated by the project (l48 AM peak-hour trips for the office development)
These programs, once implemented, must be on-going for the occupied life of the
development. Programs may be substituted, \\lith prior approval of C/CAG, as long as the
number ofreduced trips is not reduced.
The C/CAG list of approved TDM measures, the number of mitigated peak-hour trips
associated with each, and the rationale used to determine the number of mitigated trips are
presented in Table 3.

'! Operation of a commute
assistance center, offering on site,
one stop shopping for transit and
commute alternatives
information, preferably staffed
with a live person to assist
building tenants with trip

estimate. Short of there being
major disincentives to driving,
having an on-site TDM program
offering commute assistance is
fundamental to an effective TDM
program.
Number of Trips Credited
One peak-hour trip will be credited
for each feature added to the
information center: and an
additional one peak-hour trip will
be credited for each hour the center
is staffed with a live person, up to
20 trips per each 200 tenants.
Possible features may include:
. Transit information brochure
rack
. Computer kiosk connected to
the Internet
. Telephone (with commute and
transit information numbers)
. Desk and chairs (for
personalized trip planning)
. On-site transit ticket sales
. Implementation of flexible
work hour schedules that allow
transit riders to be 15-30
minutes late or early (due to
problems with transit or
vanpool).

5. TRANSPORTA TlON DEMAND l\1ANAGEJVIENT PLAN
The Transponation Demand Management (TDM) Plan elements for the 180 Oyster Point
Boulevard emphasize measures that are parking-oriented, include on-site amenities that
encourag'e the use of altemative modes of travel, and require panicipation in associations that
promote commute alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle,
The Transponation Demand Management plan includes appropriate TDM measures that will
satisfy City of South San Francisco and C/CAG guidelines, Table 4 summarizes the TDM
measures for the proposed project and identifies how they meet the City's 35 percent
alternative mode use goal and C/CAG's trip equivalent guidelines. These TDM measures are
described in detail below.
TDM Coordinator
A transportation coordinator will be designated for the site. The coordinator will actively
market the TDM Plan to all employees, and will conduct the annual monitoring/reporting
process. The coordinator will develop an on-site transportation infonnation center with
SamTrans, BART, and CalTrain schedules and maps, The coordinator will also conduct
carpool or vanpool matching services. The transportation coordinator's role also includes
managing on-site transit pass sales and the guaranteed ride home program (working with a
local taxi service or rental car agencies). Other responsibilities will be added as the need
arIses.
On-Site Amenities/Parking Design Measures
On-site amenities will be provided to promote the use of altemative modes by reducing
employee reliance on the single-occupant automobile. On-site amenities include providing
bicycle racks or storage lockers and preferential parking spaces for carpools and vanpools.
Parking spaces near building entrances will be designated as reserved carpool and vanpool
parking spaces with signage or pavement striping.
The project sponsor is providing a bicycle storage room for storage of approximately 6
bicycles. Three bike racks, providing storage for a total of 15 bikes, will be also provided.
The proposed project will designate 10 carpool and 10 vanpool spaces near the building
entrance.
The project sponsor has revised the site plan to incorporate a lower parking ratio. This
reduces the number of available parking spaces to further encourage' carpool/vanpool or
transit use.

Shuttle Bus Service
CalTrain and BART shuttles provide service from the South San Francisco CalTrain station
and Glen Park BART station to nearby developments in the Oyster Point and Gateway areas.
The project sponsor will work with the Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance to fund 10
shuttle seats.
Guaranteed Ride Home Program
One of the most-common reasons that employees do not \\'ant to use an alternative mode (i.e.
carpool, vanpool, or transit) is the inability to leave work unexpectedly for a family
emergency or the fear of being stranded if they need to work late. One element that allays
these fears is a Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program. With this program, employees can
use a taxi service, rental car or another selected mode to get home and the employer pays for
the service. The project will fund 12 slots in the Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance's GRH
program. The transportation coordinator will manage the GRH program. The employee
contacts the transportation coordinator when they need a ride home and the transportation
coordinator then makes the travel arrangements.
In-House Carpool/VanpooJ Matching Service
Carpools are the most popular alternative commute mode. An in-house matching service, in
conjunction with a vigorous marketing campaign, will be used to increase the percentage of
employees that share a ride to work.
Promotional Programs
The project sponsor will provide information via flyers, posters, emails, or brochures
regarding alternative mode use and special programs such as Bike-to- Work Day or Vanpool
Week.

6. SUJ\1J\1.ARY AND CONCLUS10NS
This report presents the TDM Plan for the proposed office development located at 1 80 Oyster
Point Boulevard in South San Francisco, California. The report identifies TDM measures that
contribute to a goal of 35 percent alternative mode use according to South San Francisco
guidelines. The TDM Plan also satisfies C/CAG guidelines that requires developments to
implement TDM measures with the capacity to mitigate all new peak-hour trips.
The TDM Plan has been tailored to utilize the measures that are most compatible for the
project:
- The project is located in close proximity to the South San Francisco CalTrain Station,
providing convenient access to CalTrain. The TDM Plan promotes transit usage by
funding seats to a CalTrain or BART shuttle.
- The office development is proposing bicycle racks and a storage room, and
designated carpool and vanpool parking spaces. These physical attributes promote
alternative commute options.
The project sponsor will participate in the local TDM assOclatlOn, Peninsula
Congestion Relief Alliance. This will maximize the effectiveness of this TDM plan.
- The site plan has been revised to reduce the number of parking spaces.
The TDM plan meets the specific requirements set forth by C/CAG and the City of South
San Francisco. The proposed project is projected to generate 148 new peak-hour trips. The
TDM Plan is expected to mitigate 148 peak-hour trips through the use of C/CAG approved
TDM measures. The TDM Plan is also projected to achieve an l8-to-36.5 percent alternative
mode use according to draft City of South San Francisco guidelines.
