200 Oyster Point Boulevard Transportation Demand Management Plan
. December 2001
1. INTRODUCTION
Malcolm Properties, Inc. is proposing to develop a 155,000-square foot (s.f.) office building
located at 200 Oyster Point Boulevard in South San Francisco, California. The proposed site
plan is shown on Figure 1. The proposed office development is estimated to generate 264
AM and 253 PM peak-hour trips (the trip generation table is presented in the Appendix). A
Transportation 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 its traffic impacts.
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 guidelines for
TDM programs require that all projects that generate greater than 100 peak-hour trips obtain
a goal of 28 percent alternative mode use. According to City policy, developments that
request a floor area ratio (FAR) bonus are required to provide a higher percent alternative
mode use. The office building development is requesting aFAR bonus and therefore the
alternative mode use required is 35 percent. 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
200 Oyster Point Boulevard TDM Plan are presented in Chapter 5. A brief summary is
presented in Chapter 6.

2. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
The proposed 155,000-square foot office building is located at 200 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 (CaITrain) 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 Jose 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 Avenue. 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 existing station to the
project site is the Glen Park BART station. Three BART shuttles, Utah-Grand Area, .oyster
Point Area, and Gateway Area, run identical routes as the CalTrain shuttles. The BART
extension to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) will add new stations in South San
Francisco, San Bruno, and Millbrae. The South San Francisco station will be located between
EI Camino Real and Mission Road approximately one half mile north of Kaiser medical
center. The San Bruno station will be on Huntington Avenue behind the Tanforan shopping
center and north of 1-380. Both stations are located two to three miles from the project site.
The BART-SFO Extension Project is scheduled for completion in 2002.
Sam Trans Route 34 provides bus service between Tanforan Shopping Center and Geneva
Avenue in San Francisco. Route 34 operates along Airport Boulevard and stops at Airport
Boulevard/Linden Avenue 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.

4. CITy/COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS (C/CAG)
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN GUIDELINES
The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) is the
Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo County. C/CAG oversees 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 trips. 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 trips is equal to or greater than the new peak-
hour trips generated by the project (264 peak-hour trips for the subject office development).
These programs, once implemented, must be on-going for the occupied life of the
development. Programs may be substituted, with prior approval of C/CAG, as long as the
number of reduced 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.

200 Oyster Point Boulevard Transportation Demand Management Plan
December 2001
5. TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan elements for 200 Oyster Point
Boulevard include on-site amenities that encourage the use of alternative modes of travel,
require participation in associations that promote commute alternatives to the single-occupant
vehicle, and include parking measures. It 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.
On-Site Measures
A TDM coordinator will be designated for the site. The coordinator will actively market the
TDM Plan to all employees, and will conduct the annual monitoring/reporting process. The
coordinator will develop an on-site transportation information center with SamTrans, BART,
and CalTrain schedules and maps. The TDM coordinator will provide information via flyers,
posters, emails, or brochures and actively market alternative mode use and special programs
such as Bike-to-Work Day or Vanpool Week. The TDM 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).
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 via carpools and vanpools.
Vanpool and Shuttle Measures
CalTrain and BART shuttles provide service from the South San Francisco CalTrain station
and Glen Park BART station to nearby office developments in the Oyster Point and Gateway
areas. The project sponsor will work with the Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance to fund
20 shuttle seats.
The project sponsor will implement and maintain two vanpools that will provide
transportation services to the project site for employees. Vanpools usually are operated by
employees that are either picked up or gather at one location to reduce the number of trips to
and from work.

200 Oyster Point Boulevard Transportation Demand Management Plan
December 2001
Subsidized Programs
One of the most-common reasons that employees do not want to use an alternative mode (i.e.
carpool, vanpool, or transit) is the inability to leave work unexpectedly for a family
emergency or the fear of being stranded if they need to work late. One element that 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 10 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.
The project sponsor or tenant will also join the Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance
program which provides ongoing support for alternative commute programs. The sponsor
will subsidize transit tickets for fifteen employees to utilize public transit to the project site.
Parking Measures
The project sponsor has used the reduced parking ratio of 2.83 spaces per 1,000 square feet
as well as provided forty carpool and six vanpool spaces located near the building entrance.
These measures discourage the single-occupant vehicle trip and improve accessibility for
those sharing vehicles.
Five bicycle racks that can accommodate 25 bicycles will be installed to secure bicycles and
further encourage riding to work.

200 Oyster Point Boulevard Transportation Demand Management Plan
December 2001
6. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This report presents the TDM Plan for the proposed office development located at 200 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
proj ect:
- TDM coordinator will actively market the TDM plan.
- 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 and/or BART shuttle.
- The office development is proposing bicycle racks, and designated carpool and
vanpool parking spaces. These physical attributes promote alternative commute
options.
- The project sponsor will participate in the local TDM association, Peninsula
Congestion Relief Alliance. This will maximize the effectiveness ofthis TDM plan.
The site plan has a reduced 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 264 new peak-hour trips. The
TDM Plan is expected to mitigate 265 peak-hour trips through the use of C/CAG approved
TDM measures. The TDM Plan is also projected to achieve a 41.5 percent alternative mode
use according to City of South San Francisco guidelines.
