The Britannia Oyster Point project has implemented successful transportation demand management (roM) strategies and efforts that have increased alternative mode uses and ridesharing, decreased traffic and congestion, and helped to improved air quality in the South San Francisco and the Bay Area region. Since 2002, the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance has worked closely with Slough Estates' TDM consultant to support pre-move and on-site employee commute program activities. These activities have included individual employer events, campus- wide transportation fairs, survey promotions and shuttle services. We also provide Alliance and 511 rideshare materials for all five campus transportation kiosks. We are pleased with the roM achievements attained by this project. Slough Estates have taken a proactive approach to their requirement by providing ongoing TDM consulting support and customized commute program training for each tenant. Four of the tenants now manage their own comprehensive internal employee commute programs. On behalf of the Britannia Oyster Point project, Slough Estates also continues to provide significant annual funding for the San Mateo Caltrain/BART shuttle program. 1150 Bayhill Drive, Suite 107, San Bruno, CA 94066 Phone (650) 588-8 I 70 Fax (650) 588~8171 . www,commute,org Ms. Susy Kalkin September 1, 2006 Page Two Given the dedication and commitment demonstrated by Slough Estates for the Britannia Oyster Point TDM programs, we expect to see continued project growth in ridesharing and use of alternative commute options. ~incerely, .

Bergschneider, Slough Estates BRITANNIA OYSTER POINT TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The goal of the Britannia Oyster Point Commute Program is to promote transit and alternative commute options for the tenants/ employers and employees working throughout the Britannia Oyster Point complex. This effort is designed to reduce employee-parking demand, enhance participation in rideshare programs, and implement a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, The roM program will ultimately achieve a 35% employee alternative mode use rate as required by the City of South San Francisco. The principles guiding the TDM program provide positive benefits for employee recruibnent, retention, productivity, air quality improvements, and alternative mode usage, Employers are encouraged to participate in these collaborative efforts with transportation and rideshare organizations to provide employee outreach and education, Other resources such as those from the Regional Rideshare Program 511, Caltrain, the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance), BART, and SamTrans enhance the TDM program. Some of the services provided to employers and employees include individual on-site company presentations, carpool permit sign-ups, bicycle locker registrations, annual Spare the Air Transportation Fair, annual on-line commute survey, employee information brochure and targeted outreach marketing. The overall objective is to reduce vehicle trips to the Britannia Oyster Point work site by 35%. 2005 SURVEY REPORT 'HE HOYT CO.

This summary meets the TOM monitoring and reporting requirements as specified in the 2000 Bay West Cove TDM Plan. During the week of October 31, through November 4, 2005, the Britannia Oyster Point Commute Program conducted a survey encompassing 575 employees throughout the campus. This survey summary reflects responses for all campus employees (five tenant groups). The purpose of the Britannia Oyster Point survey was to provide annual documentation of TOM accomplishments and meet the City of South San Francisco's reporting requirements. In addition, survey results provide a snapshot of current alternative mode use levels. Highlights of the survey results include: . Survey response rate - 73.4% . Alternative mode use range - 25.7% to 35% . Single occupant vehicle (SOV) respondents who would consider using an alternative occasionally -75.3% . Employees who commute outside peak morning hours - 16.2% . Employees who commute outside peak evening hours - 32.5% The 2004 Employee Transportation Survey conducted by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance) identified the San Mateo County alternative commute rate at 32%. The overall commute rate for the City of South San Francisco was identified at 26.2%. Incorporating survey methodology used by the Alliance, the Britannia Oyster Point project has achieved the required 35% alternative mode use goal. However, the City requires the Britannia Oyster Point project to use the Bay West Cove methodology which dictates that non survey participants be counted as SOY drivers and consequently reflects an alternative mode use rate of 25.7%. Ms, Susy Kalkin January 3, 2006 Page 2 Slough BTC, LLC/Britannia Oyster Point continues to provide significant annual funding - in excess of $70,000 - towards the San Mateo Caltrain/BART shuttle program and its on-site roM services. Program components include a designated commute coordinator, a comprehensive commute website (www.BOPcommute.info). a BOP Rideshare Brochure, and employee outreach and marketing promotions. Employee responses received from the 2005 survey will also provide the ability to direct targeted marketing to employees for their specific request or commute needs. The aggregate efforts of the Britannia Oyster Point commute program in tandem with the individual tenant-employers programs will continue to maintain the alternative 35% commute mode usage goal. A copy of the 2005 survey results and graphics are enclosed for your review. Please contact me at (916) 448-2440, or at [email protected], should you have any questions regarding this report. We would be delighted to meet with you and the Planning Commission to higWight the successes of the Britannia Oyster Point commute program. Sincerely, fA aUL"t. Plu-oIWJ Eliza~eth L.

SOY Respondents: m The Hoyt Company Page 2 Exhibit B Marketing Conditions Affecting Transportation Options and Transportation Demand Management Choices 2005 Commute Impacts A significant factor impacting Britannia Oyster Point commuters in 2005 was the sharp increase in the price of gasoline and it's effect on the cost of driving to work. More than 31.7% of survey respondents said they were motivated to use an alternative transportation mode to "save cost, wear and tear on personal vehicle". The 2004 Employee Transportation Survey, conducted by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance), identified the San Mateo County alternative commute rate at 32%. The overall commute rate for the City of South San Francisco was identified at 26,2%. Incorporating survey methodology used by the Alliance, the Britannia Oyster Point project has achieved the required 35% alternative mode use goal. Britannia Oyster Point does charge tenants for parking. However, no tenant-employer charges employees for on-site parking privileges. The employers pay employee parking fees and costs for employees. Caltrain services were enhanced in 2004 to add express trains during peak hours. However, this service does not provide an express stop at the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and hence does not benefit employees at Britannia Oyster Point. Off-Peak Usage Off-peak commute schedules provide some congestion relief for more than 16% of A.M. and 32% of P.M. Britannia Oyster Point employees. The nature of biotech business environments contributes to off-peak commute travel. These non-traditional work schedules necessitate off-peak commute travel, and eliminate many transit or carpooling options. Variable work schedules often require employees to drive alone to meet time and project commitments at work. Transit, shuttle service, carpool and vanpool commute options maintain set and regular schedules that do not easily accommodate off-peak travel. Having an irregular work schedule was the number two reason employees drive alone to work. This was the same response as in 2004. Successes Efforts to reduce drive-alone choices and increase commute options have been a priority for one tenant in particular. Rigel, Inc. has aggressively enhanced their employee commute program in 2005 with an increase in transit subsidies to $120 per month, a pre-tax option for transit riders and $120 commute allowance for bicyclists and carpoolers. Amgen SF will be making some commute program enhancements in 2006. The aggregate efforts of the Britannia Oyster Point commute program and tenant- employers have established an alternative commute mode usage range of 25.7% to 35%. m The Hoyt Company January 3, 2006 Please take the Britannia Oyster Point Commute Survey today!

CARPOOL ALLOWANCE PROGRAM POLICY GUIDELINES The goal of the Rigel Inc. Commute Program is to reduce the number of drive-alone commuters and vehicles parked at on-site facilities. Employees who carpool at least 600/0 of their workweek may register in Human Resources for a Rigel Carpool Allowance. The Carpool Allowance provides employees who carpool with a $120 monthly cash subsidy. Carpool registration is required annually. Eligibility requirements for the carpool allowance include: Carpool and Receive Monthly Cash Allowance. $120 monthly carpool allowance is available for those who carpool at least 600/0 of their workweek (least 3 days per week). Eligibility is monitored and audited on an ongoing basis. Step 1: Visit the Human Resources office and ask for a Carpool Registration and Permit Application. II Employees who carpool with one or more Rigel or other Britannia Oyster Point employee as least three (3) days per week must have matching or similar work schedules to be eligible for the $120 monthly cash allowance. " $95 carpool allowance for employees who carpool with one or more carpool partner who are not Rigel or other Britannia Oyster Point employees but do work within a 3 mile radius of the Rigel worksite. Step 2: Use your Rigel Carpool permit on days you and your carpool partner share a ride to work. The Carpool permit allows parking in specially marked preferential carpool space in the front of the building or in the garage. If you did not commute with your carpool partner, you may not park in a preferential carpool designated parking space. Step 3: If you or your carpool partner(s) experience a shift or job change that alters your ability to carpool, you must change your carpool status in Human Resources and alter your parking and allowance registration. Step 4: At the end of each month, fill out your monthly tracking form and return it to Human Resources along with your travel expense claim for your $120 (or $95) allowance (allowances are considered taxable income). Note: Carpools are defined as adult employees who share a ride to work. Infants and children will not be considered carpool partners in this program. Eligible carpools must commute within at least a three- mile radius or each other's worksite. Parking will be appropriately enforced. 4. 5. . - .~ " . '. L . .....

Traffic congestion results in time lost to residents and commuters, and increased demand on City fiscal resources for roadway construction and maintenance. Mobile sources (the automobile) account for 50% of the air pollution in South San Francisco. The City of South San Francisco has directed the two developers of the Bay West Cove area, Hines Interests and Slough Estates, to work together in the preparation of a single, master planned Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan, This comprehensive Plan is designed to achieve a 35% alternative mode use which will address both traffic and air quality concerns in South San Francisco. The Plan includes 11 measures and an annual monitoring program. The Plan has a variety of infrastructure and incentive based measures which encourage all forms of alternative mode use: carpool/vanpool, transit/shuttles, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting. Perhaps the most important measures are those related to project parking. Both projects have agreed to modest parking levels with Hines Interest providing 15% less parking for their office development (2.8/1,000 sq. ft.) than City code and Slough Estates committing to building no more than code (3.3/1,000 sq. ft.). Both developers have agreed to charge at least $20 per month for parking which is precedent setting for this part of the City. The reduced parking levels and paid parking will help significantly to dampen demand for single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use. The additional measures such as shuttles, carpool spaces, showers and bicycle facilities, and incentives including transit pass subsidy, and the Guaranteed Ride Home program will provide employees with viable alternatives to the SOY. This Plan is performance based. The developers are required to achieve a 35% alternative mode use by tenant employees. Annually the mode use will be monitored and a report must be submitted to the City's Economic Community Development Director by December 1st of each year. Ifrhe Hoyt Company Page i Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 INTRODUCTION In the Bay Area the hours of delay experienced by drivers is projected to increase another 249% by the end of the year 2020.1 The Bay West Cove projects support the City of South San Francisco's policy of focusing clustered cfevelopment along transfortation corridors. These projects are located near and served by Highway 10 and 1-380, a Caltrain station, and SamTrans bus stops, The comprehensive plan of trip reduction measures identified in this report is essential to realizing the trip reduction potential of the Bay West Cove projects. The combination of these cntical factors will provide the synergism to maintain a 35% trip reduction level for this project. Through monitorin~ efforts such as the annual survey of employees to determme transportalion mode split, Bay West Cove will be able to Detter focus transportation coordination efforts and encourage tenant employees to use alternative transportation. The modal split survey results will be submitted to the City of South San Francisco on or before December 1st of each year. 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Bay West Cove project includes 20 acres owned by Hines Interest, and 22 acres owned by Slough Estates. The Bay West Cove projects proposed by Hines Interests and Slough Estates are mixed use projects which by their design will help to reduce automobile trips. The 20 acre project by Hines Interests is planned to include a 350 room hotel, approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space including a sit down restaurant, a small general store or sundry shop, A TM and other support retail, and 600,000 sq. ft. of Class A office space. The Slough Estates development will include 600,000 sq, ft. of office/R & D (of which 10,000 sq. ft. is support retail/ restaurant). The Slough Estates project will also complete a portion of the San Francisco Bay Trail and provide a 100 foot buffer between the trail and the development which will include outdoor seating and pimic areas. The projects will be designed to maximize opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. A separate project, the Gateway project located directly across Oyster Point Boulevard includes amenities such as a par course, a sandwich shop and a privately operated full service cafeteria (not open to the public) which may be available for use by the (Hines) Bay West Cove tenants. By the end of summer 2000, another sandwich shop called "Specialties" will be open to the public. The development is intended to be as self sufficient as possible in order to reduce the number of trips made daily to and from the campus. 1 California Transit, November 1999, page 28, m 1he Hoyt Company Page 1 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 tOeA TION MAP m The Hoyt Company Page 2 Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 SITE PLAN - HINES INTEREST m The Hoyt Company Page 3 Bay West Cove TDM Plan SITE PLAN - SLOUGH ESTATES *To Be Provided By Applicant II The Hoyt Company July 20, 2000 Page 4 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 2.0 EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT EAST OF HIGHWAY 101 The table on the following page indictes that somewhere between 23% to 29.5% of employees working in the City of South San Francisco commute to work using some alternative form of transportation, largely via carpooling or public transit. The 1990 U.S. Census data indicates a 77% singe occupany vehicle (SOV) usage and 23% alternative mode usage, The 1998 surv~y conducted by the Pennisula Congestion Relief Alliance (PCRA) shows a 31.3% alternative mode usage, For purposes of this TDM Plan, the authors asssumed the U.S, Census data was likely the better reflection of mode split due to a larger sample size, and the fact that a more recent survey in the Gateway area indlcated a 7% shuttle / transit usage which is closer to the Census figure, Therefore, this TDM Plan will need to generate an increase in alternative modes of approxiamtely 35% to 40% over the oaseline conditions. 3.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT Parking Supply/Reduction Total parking spaces projected for both projects at full build-out is approximately 4,313. Total parKing spaces by project are estimated at 2,100 and 2,213 for Hines Interest and Slough Estates respectively. For the Slough Estates project, on-site structure parking will be 1,511 parking spaces with surface parking at 702 spaces. Structured parking for the office portion of the Hines Interest project is approximately 1,000 spaces with surface parking at 800 spaces, Hotel parking is estimated between 300 and 350 spaces. The ability and willingness to rideshare is directly linked to parking availability, By not providing an overabundant supply of parking spaces at full build out, Bay West Cove is laying the groundwork. for successful promotion of alternative transportation. Preferential parking spaces placed near the building entrances are an excellent incentive and sends a clear visual message to employees and the community that alternative transportation is important. The City parking code for office is 3,3/1,000 sq. ft. Hines Interest is proposing a 2,8/1,000 sq. ft. parking ratio. The Slough ~states' current proposal is for 3.3/1,000 sq. ft. The single greatest influences on mode of transportation are parking pricing and the availability of parking. Other similar developments in the City of South San Francisco have successfully implemented parking at 3.1/1,000 sq. ft. and we encourage Slough Estates to modify their parking to 3,1/1,000 sq. ft. m The Hoyt Company Page 5 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 Model Shares of South San Francisco Employees and North San Mateo County Employees Transportation Mode.

II The Hoyt Company Page 6 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 Paid Parking To encourage alternative mode usage, the developers of Bay West Cove will implement an employee paid parking program for the first time in this area. The Hines Interests developers are proposing to charge a minimum of $20 per structured parking space per month for all employee single occupancy vehicle (SOV) parking, ana will provide free parking for carpools and vanpools, Slough Estates will charge a fee for both structured and surface parking (non-visitor) through a key card and decal system, Research has repeatedly shown that the single biggest factor in selecting a mode of transportation is the cost of parking, ThIS is a very important measure to encouraging employees to get out of tne SOY, 4.0 TRANSIT Caltrain and SamTrans as well as a future BART extension, all provide service to South San Francisco in close proximity to the project site; as will a future BART extension, SamTrans oJ?erates 7 express bus routes on Highway 101 and one regular bus route on Airport Boulevard that serve the Caltrain station. A map of rail and bus service to South San Francisco are included in this TDM Plan. Caltrain Caltrain operates 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 weekdays from approximately 4:30 a.m, until about 1:30 a.m. and on 15 to 30 minute frequencies during the peak periods in the morning and evening. Midday service operates approximately every hour and service runs about every hour between 7:00 p.m. and about midnight. Service is less frequent on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Caltrain service is available approximately three-fourths of a mile from Bay West Cove at the South San Francisco station at Dubuque and Grand avenues and can be reached by the Oyster Point Boulevard shuttle. BART The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is a 95-mile, 39-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 B'!Y communities-north to Richmond, east to Pittsburg/Bay Point, west to Dublin/Pleasanton, and south to Fremont. BART trains operate from 4 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, 6 a.m, to midnight on Saturday, and 8 a,m. to midnight on Sunday. Basic fare: minimum $1.10; maximum $4.45 (for one-way triPs). Service is scheduled every 15 minutes during peak periods (from the East Bay to Glen Park Station - 6:15 a,m, - 8:40 a.m. ana. 4:25 p,m. - 6:00 p.m). Service during Holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays are modified, BART-to-the-Airport construction is currently underway to expand the system by an additional 8.7 miles along the peninsula from Colina to a new intermodal station in Millbrae. Four new stations will be created including a South San Francisco station located between EI Camino Real and Mission Road to the south of Hickey Boulevard. liThe Hoyt Company Page 7 Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 TRANSIT MAP II The Hoyt Company Page 8 Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 SamTrans SamTrans provides bus service throughout San Mateo County, with connections to the Colma and Daly City BART stations, San Francisco International Airport, peninsula Caltrain stations and downtown San Francisco. ~.'. ,1 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, SamTrans service east of Highway 101 area is provided by one regular bus (#292) route along Airport Boulevard, Weekday service runs every 30 minutes during the 6:00 a,m. to 4:00 p,m. and every 20 minutes during peak evening period between 4:00 p.m, to 6:00 p.m. After 6:00 p,m. until midnight, service is once per hour beginrung at 25 minutes after each flour, There is no regular route service yet provided in the specific Bay West Cove area, Downtown Dasher Taxi Service This taxi service rrovides 11 a,m, to 2 p.m. pick-up service throughout the East Highway 101 busmess parks in South San Francisco. Using existing shuttle stops, taxis drops off riders at one of two drop-off locations in the downtown retail area. The Downtown Dasher, operated by the Peninsula Yellow Cab of South San Francisco and managed by the PCRA, requires an employer provided voucher and a trip reservation before 10 a.m. This midday service is currently free to participating employers for the next 6 to 12 months, Ferry Service Currently, no scheduled water transit service exists in the Bay West Cove area, Shuttle Service To Bay West Cove The proposed Bay West Cove campus is approximately three-fourths of a mile from the South San Francisco Caltrain station. Working with the Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance (PCRA) the project is proposing to implement a comprehensive shuttle system with both peak period and lunch time service. The Hines Interest project intends to operate their shuttle service via a private contractor. Using 47 to 55 passenger shuttle vehicles in the a,m. and p.m. peak periods, these shuttles will circulate between the South San Francisco BART station and the project at either 15 or 30 minute frequencies. The project will also operate 30 minutes frequency shuttle service between the South San Francisco Caltrain station and the project in the a.m. and p.m. peak. To compliment these peak period shuttles, the project (Hines Interest) is proposing to encourage tenants through marketing and PR to participate in the Downtown Dasher lunch time shuttle as an alternative to employees ~etting into their cars at lunch time. The shuttle operates on an on-call baSIS between downtown South San Francisco (and potentially other locations) and the project. This pilot service is currently free but requires a reservation. Within the next 6 to 12 months the service will require employer participation in a voucher m The Hoyt Company Page 9 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 system supported by the City of South San Francisco, East of 101 Employers, and the merchant's association, Transit Subsidy Program/Commuter Check A transit subsidy of $25 per mOfitN~j.ll be offered to the tenant employees of Bay West Cove (to a maximum of 10% of employees). The subsidy will be in the form of Commuter Check vouchers and can oe redeemed to purchase tickets for Caltrain, BART, and SamTrans bus services. Transit pass subsidies by employers of as little as $15 per month have shown a 63% increase in monthly pass sales in other jurisdictions. 5.0 DESIGNATED CARPOOL SPACES/PREFERENTIAL PARKING One effective means of encouraging employees to rideshare and / or use clean fuel vehicles is to reserve the most preferred parking spaces for the exclusive use of carpools and vanpools. These preferred parking spaces would be designated with signage and pavement striping. Upon completion of this project, a minimum of 10% of employee surface and structure parking will be designated for carpool, vanpool, and clean fuel vehicles. Bay West Cove will provide these spaces in premium, convenient locations (i,e., near parking garage elevators, close to buildings, in the shade, etc.). Flextime commuters would have access to remaining spots and all other parking will be open to visitors after 9:30 a.m. 6.0 ON-SITE 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 mcrease in alternative mode usage for commute-based trips should be realized. Automatic Teller Machine Bay West Cove will provide an automatic teller machine (ATM) on-site and located in a central location. This will better enable employees commuting via alternative modes of transportation to complete banking transactions on their lunch hour or break without needing an automobile to make an off-site trip. On-Site Child Care The project will include on-site child care as an employee amenity. The demand for Child care may likely be greater than supply, therefore the project will use this project component to further attract employees to alternative modes of transportation. Employees will fill out a verification form to participate in this program, A special aspect of this child care service will be that priority access will be given to those employees who commute via an alternative mode of m The Hoyt Company Page 10 Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 transportation (an alternative mode use employee will be placed at the top of any waiting list). Employees who commute to work via singfe occupancy verucle (SOV) will be given a lower priority on the waiting list. This measure is subject to environmental sign-off on child care use on this site by the Regional Water Quality Board (RWQB); if not approved by the RWQB, the child care will need to be located off-site, This child care commuter link has proven to reduce commute-based SOY trips to work-sites nationwide. This important link allows for increased carpooling among employees and families which significantly decreases regional congestion and improves non-drive use to the work.-site. Parents with responsibility for child care transportation are 50% less likely to ride public transit than those who do not need to take their children to day care. According to Caltrans, the typical one-way child care trip is four miles in length resulting in 2,000 extra miles traveled per person per year, and 85 pounds of pollutants. Caltrans states that 20% of working women and 5-10% of working men have child care transportation responsibilities. If those women and men are to be persuaded to use alternative modes of transportation, then on-site child care is necessary, Electric Vehicle Charging The parking structures will be wired with the necessary conduit to support a minimum of two electric vehicle charging stations each, Shower and Clothes Lockers Showers and clothing lockers will be installed to facilitate employees walking and biking to work for those who wish to change after commuting via alternative transportation. Two (2) showers and 20 locker facilities will be installed in each of the buildings for every 500 employees. The showers will be centrally and conveniently located near bicycle storage facilities. In the case of the Class I bicycle parking which will be contained in tI1.e structured parking, via lockers or an encIosed cage with key or keypad access, the showers may be located one to four minutes away by foot. Information Kiosk An information kiosk(s) will be located internal to each of the buildings in a common ~athering area, such as cafeteria. The kiosk(s) will contain transportation information, including project shuttles, SamTrans, Caltrain, BART, Downtown Dasher, RIDES for Bay Area Commuters, Inc. and other related information. Information will be updated periodically by the Transportation Coordinator. m The Hoyt Company Page 11 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 7.0 PERSONALIZED CARPOOL MATCHING AND V ANPOOL ASSISTANCE Bay West Cove's Transportation Coordinator will establish a Personalized Matchin~ Assistance (PMA) program for employees. Employees will be given a list of fellow employees who 1ive in the same general area, who travel to work at the same time and would be willing to carpool. The Transportation Coordinator (TC) will assist B'!Y West Cove's employees with carpool formation. This can be done through RIDES for Bay Area Commuters; Bay West Cove supplies the application, which is then sent to RIDES and SMARTPool for vanpooling coordination. A vanpool program will improve the parking situation on the site, since a vanpool vehicle can accommoaate 10 to 12 indiVIduals. Vanpooling helps reduce stress to the commuter and can save time and money. RIDES for Bay Area Commuters will assist in all aspects of setting up a vanpool program for Bay West Cove. 8.0 GUARANTEED RIDE HOME PROGRAM One of the primary reasons commuters refuse to ~ carpooling or public transit is the loss of the ability to leave work unexpectedly due to an emergency or the fear of being stranded should they have to work late. Employers In Southern California and Seattle who have guaranteed their employees a ride home in the case of an emergency or havin~ to unexpectedly work late have found it a tremendous incentive to get employees to try ridesharing and get them to stay in a ridesharing program. An attitude survey of 1,650 employers in Southern California showed that a Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program was the number one incentive for employees to rideshare. A similar survey in Seattle, Washington, showed that having access to a GRH program was an important factor for 70% of those who chose to rideshare ana was an important factor for 50% in continuing to rideshare. 9.0 BICYCLE STORAGE FACILITIES/BICYCLE MAP 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 for employees. Restaurants, retail: one bicycle space for every 50 vehicle spaces required. . All bicycle parking and facilities shall be located in convenient, safe and well-lit areas with maximum space for ingress and egress of bicycles. The project has outstanding connections to regional bicycle facilities, specifically the San Francisco Bay Trail. The Bay Trail is a network of multi-userathway,s circling San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. Approximately 150 miles 0 the traIl is complete. The ultimate route is planned to be a 400 mile route through nine Bay Area counties and 42 shoreline cities, The trail JJrovides commuters an exceptional pathway to bicycle or walk to work at Bay West Cove which has a direct fmkage to the Trail. A map of surrounding bikeways will be included in the TDM Plan. II The Hoyt Company Page 12 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 BIKE MAP m The Hoyt Company Page 13 Bay West Cove TDM Plan July 20, 2000 The GRH program provides the employee with a security blanket, a feeling of reassurance that if a child becomes ilf or injured during the day the employee can get to them quickly, If an employee has to work late and misses tlieir bus or carpool, or if their vanpool breaks down, they are guaranteed a ride home, Employers in Southern California have shown an increase in ridesharing of 15-20% when a GRH program is available to employees, 10. 0 TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR Ms, Lisa Burke will be the Hines Interests Transportation Coordinator for the Bay West Cove project. The Slough Estates Transportation Coordinator for the Bay West Cove p,roject has yet to be identified, Ms. Burke and the Slough Estates Coordinator wIll work with designated tenant contacts to coordinate the transportation programs, Bay West Cove will designate a Transportation Coordinator whose responsibility includes the shuttle, transit pass subsidy, and all Rideshare and Spare the Air programs. The Transportation Coordinator will have duties and primary responsioility for transportation demand management (TDM) issues and for implementing this TDM Plan. The Transportation Coordinator duties will be filled by: Name: Hines Interest Ms, Lisa Burke Slough Estates To be determined Address: 101 California, Suite 1100 San Francisco, CA 94111 33 West Monroe Street, Suite 2000 Chicago, IL 60603 E-mail: Phone: (415) 982-6200 (312) 558-9100 The Transportation Coordinator(s} (TC) will provide the following services and functions: 1. Catalog all existing incentives that encourage employees to utilize alternative transportation programs and aggressively market programs to employees. 2. Develop and maintain liaison with employees, neighboring employment centers, regional and local ridesharing programs. 3. Coordinate and manage various aspects of the TDM Plan that require periodic update or monitoring, such as carpool and vanpool registration, parking assignment and enforcement, (locker assignment and enforcement and flextime work schedules). 4, Coordinate the transportation needs of the project with other area II The Hoyt Company Page 14 Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 5. projects, specifically related to alternative modes of transportation such as vanpooling, Provide information and resource materials on the full range of transportation choices available to employees of the development. Provide up-to-date transit information. Provide direct on-site sale or disbursement of Commuter Check. 6. 7, 8. Provide information to bicyclists regarding desi~nated bike routes in the Bikeways Master Plan, and on-site support facilities. Post informational materials, specific to commute alternatives, via e-mail and lobby posting, Conduct an annual survey of employee commute methods and submit summarized results to the South San Francisco Economic and Community Development Department as part of the annual reporting process, Evaluate survey results for alternative transportation potential, Encourage flextime and other work schedule adjustments to accommodate employee's chosen alternative mode, Designated Employer Contact 9, 10. 11. 12. To ensure that the TDM Plan is implemented by the tenants, language will be included into all of the tenant leases. The lease language will be worded similar to: "Traffic: Tenant hereby agrees to designate one of lts employees to act as a liaison with Landlord (see section 9,0) to facilitate and coordinate such programs as may be required by governmental agencies to reduce the traffic generated by Bay West Cove as required by the City of South San Francisco as part oJ conditions of approval and to facilitate the use of public transportation," New Tenant Employee Information Packet At the time of move-in all tenants will distribute an Employee Transportation Information Packet to all employees commuting to the Bay West Cove site. This packet will include (but not De lImited to) information about the carpool parking program, SamTrans, Caltrain, BART and shuttle schedules and maps, and a Bicycle map. 11.0 TELECOMMUTING Telecommuting reduces both traffic and the need for employee parking, The Bay West Cove project is located near major fiber optic lines, At a minimum, conduit and necessary fufrastructure will be available for future tenants to link to these lines. While fiber optic wiring does not directly result in fewer vehicle trips to the site, it does provIde the infrastructure necessary for a future tenant to implement a telecommute program that could result in fewer vehicle trips, .. The Hoyt Company PagelS Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 Hines Interests has entered into a strategic alliance with a "broad band" company to provide a full range of services including: video conferencing, satellite capaoilities, maximum oroad band width capaoility allowing for dual downloadmg and video view simultaneously, and remote server access for greater telecommuting access. This state of the art technology will allow easy downloading of major files such as CAD files, lengthy: legal documents, and operating multiple programs at the same time, They will have satellite capability to encourage wIfeless telecommunications. 12.0 FLEXIBLE WORK HOURS A flextime window allows employees to arrive at and leave work outside of the traditional hours of 8:00 a.m, to 5:00 p,m. This policy allows flexible schedules for ridesharing purposes and helps reduce traffic congestion by flattening out the peak period, On-going promotion of this program is necessary to continually attract alternative transportation commuters. 13.0 KICK-OFF EVENT Upon 50% of the tenant occupancy of each of their portions of the Bay West Cove project, Hines Interests and Slough Estates will host a commute alternative kick-off event/ celebration. Transportation service providers, such as SamTrans, Caltrain, and RIDES for Bay Area Commuters, Inc" will be invited to set-up exhibit booths. To encourage participation in the event, Hines Interests and Slough Estates will provide food, such as popcorn, hot dogs and refreshments, and give-a-ways, such as commuter mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, etc, Hines Interest and Slough Estates will set the date for the event and advertise the event at least two weekS in advance. 14.0 ANNUAL REPORT An Annual Report will be a critically important part of a monitoring process to determine the success or failure of TOM measures. This report, via results from an employee survey distributed and collected by the employee Transportation Coordinator, will provide quantitative data (e.g., mode split) and qualitative data (e,g., employee perception of the alternative transportation programs). This data may then be used to focus TDM marketing and tlle efforts of tlle Transportation Coordinator. TDM programs could be retooled, if necessary, to maintain Bay West Cove's 35% total trip reduction commitment at the site. The Annual Report will be submitted to the City of South San Francisco on or before December 1st each year. 15.0 CONCLUSION The Bay West Cove developers are committed to achieve and maintain a 35% employee alternative mode use at their proposed projects. This TOM Plan, which provides the detail of their commitment, is the most aggressive TOM Plan ever filed with the City of South San Francisco. By balancing air quality with economic growth, Bay West Cove will help South San Francisco thrive as a community. It is projects like these that will contribute to South San Francisco's livelihood. m The Hoyt Company Page 16 Bay West Cove TOM Plan July 20, 2000 The Bay West Cove project supports the policies of focusing clustered development along transportation corridors (Highway 101 and 1-380), and transit corridors (Oiltrain and SamTrans), In order to be part of the transportation solution, Bay West Cove is proposing a master planned camfus which contains the density and critical mass necessary to encourage the use 0 all alternative modes of transportation including bicyclmg, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit, It must maintain the currently proposed mix of office uses, recreational facilities, and food services, It must also work closely with SamTrans, Caltrain, and BART to maximize employee ridership on bus and rail.

The abov : described Transportation Demand Management (fDM) Ordinance is internally consisten with the South San Francisco General Plan, I I I Analysis: Th'~ IDM Ordinance implements the goals and policies of the South San Francisco General Plan adopted in October 1999. The IDM Ordinance implements Policy 2-14 which requires proje,:ts seeking an FAR bonus to achieve a progressively higher alternative mode usage pursuant to th, IDM Ordinance. The Ordinance is also consistent with sections 4-3-1-8, 4-3-1-11 and 4-3-1-12 t.'hich set forth the criteria and alternative mode usage for projects subject to the TDM Ordin~e. 2. Californi~ Environmental Quality Act: Pursuant to ~e California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City Council declares that I this project was analyzed in accordance with CEQA in the Supplemental Environment~ Impact Report, 2001. The SEIR concluded that there were no adverse effects associated witJ"t the project and identified only beneficial affects on the environment. The TDM Ordinance's p~se is to reduce traffic congestion through a regulatory program consisting of employer imp .emented shuttle programs; on-site amenities; reduced parking; paid parking and other measur~ calculated to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips. The Ordinance does not require any new buildings or facilities as a result of implementation. Therefore, there are no adverse envirdnmental impacts associated with the Ordinance. I ,.
