TDM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan (herein known as the Plan) for the Transit project at 705 W Dana St. (project) provides a viable and dynamic program to support a 20 percent peak-hour vehicle trip reduction. The applicant understands that the efficacy of this Plan is paramount, and therefore, the applicant placed a series of checks and balances that address compliance with the Plan. Mechanisms in the Plan will obligate both the applicant and future tenants. The project and the Plan will set a precedent for future developments in the downtown Mountain View area.
Important factors set the proposed Plan apart from typical TDM plans:
• Site Amenities: The Plan will include robust TDM infrastructure, programs, and monitoring. In addition to the conventional TDM measures, the Plan consists of preferential carpool parking, bike parking, telework options, and annual online surveys.
The Plan will also include the following:
o $900 in monthly vanpool group subsidies ($500 MTC/511 and $400 VTA) o Ongoing ETC commuter services
o A transportation information kiosk and mobile app for employee commuter use.
• Location: The project is conveniently located in downtown Mountain View, with immediate access to several buses, shuttles, and train routes.
• Enforcement Mechanisms:
o Obligate Tenants to Perform: Language codified into the office leases will obligate future tenant(s) to achieve trip reduction goals and offer employee commuter benefits, such as transit subsidies.
Leases will also prohibit tenants and their employees (all personnel) from purchasing City parking permits, parking in the neighborhood, or parking in the Caltrain parking lot.
o City Penalty Structure: The City has the most stringent financial penalties in the greater Bay Area for failing to comply with TDM goals. This monetary penalty is the direct responsibility of the applicant. Additionally, the project's approval conditions will provide a financial penalty structure that, in the event of failure to perform or deliver annual reporting, will be more onerous than the cost of implementing TDM programs.
o Self-Audit: The applicant will perform an annual self-audit of the TDM program and its efficacy. Additionally, the applicant will cover the cost (up to a certain threshold) for the city to perform its independent audit. 705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)

• Active Role for Designated Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC): The ETC will implement the TDM plan actively. Ongoing responsibilities may include:
o Pre-occupancy engagement with tenants to transition drive-alone commuters to alternative transportation options before tenants move to the site o New employee (all personnel) orientation to alternative transportation options o Quarterly on-site promotions and events for all employees that highlight public transit, pedestrian and biking, and carpooling transit options and rewards o Support tenants with Employee Wellness/Health/Commuter Transportation Fair/Earth Day/Bike to Work Day/Spare the Air events and promotions o Support tenants by promoting subsidies and incentives available to commuters o Robust surveys of tenants and their staff to ensure compliance o Report TDM performance to the city.
The TDM measures listed below will reduce 20 percent of peak-hour trips. These measures are consistent with other well-performing TDM plans and trip-reduction programs in Mountain View, Palo Alto, the San Francisco Bay Area, and other national locations.
The following outline provides a summary of the applicant's Plan for the project:

INTRODUCTION
This 705 W Dana Street Parking and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan (herein known as the Plan) meets the project's specific needs, considering the site's logistical resources, opportunities, and constraints. The Plan measures provide specific elements and actions that commit the applicant and future tenant to their implementation. The plan measures will increase pedestrian, bicycle, carpool, and transit uses and achieve a 20 percent reduction in peak-hour vehicle trips.
The performance-based Plan directs the applicant and future employers (tenants) to implement employee benefits and create a formal commute program. Commute program marketing, ongoing promotions, Mountain View Transportation Management Association (TMA) membership, a guaranteed emergency ride home program, and an active commute coordinator will provide the synergism needed to create a successful program for future employees. This Plan contains appropriate measures and elements consistent with other well-performing Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area region, and national commute programs. Annual monitoring via surveys will provide the documentation to demonstrate the effectiveness of the TDM programs and a 20 percent reduction of peak hour trips.
This Plan details the applicant's commitment to the City of Mountain View and its designated responsibility for implementation.
This project's TDM Plan encourages all alternate modes of transportation, including walking, bicycling, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit. The 705 W Dana Street project (Project) will help the city thrive as a community and meet its 2030 general plan goals by balancing air quality with economic growth.
TDM Planning Process
The project will include trip reduction elements and goals outlined in the Mountain View Downtown Specific Plan. It will also include Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and commute- sustainable standards by incorporating TDM elements.
Other contributing and complementary sustainable
building efforts include applicable portions of
California's Green Building standards. A successful
development project reduces vehicle trips, air
pollution, and traffic congestion and contributes to
successful carbon footprint and greenhouse gas
reductions for long-term operations.
The U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC) encourages and accelerates
global adoption of sustainable green
building and development practices
through the creation and
implementation of universally
understood and accepted tools and
performance criteria
(
www.usgbc.org).

1.0 REGULATORY AND SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTS
The Plan combines services, incentives, facilities, and actions that reduce single-occupant vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking demand, and air pollution problems. The following are goals possible through the effective utilization of a TDM Plan with the use of TDM measures:
• Reduce parking demand by converting SOV trips to an alternate mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpool or vanpool, bicycling, or walking). • Shift travel to less congested routes by providing traveler information systems that warn motorists about delays or alternative routes.
• Support other technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid vehicles, or zero-emission vehicles).
• Eliminate or shift trips from peak periods (e.g., flexible schedules, compressed workweeks, or telecommuting).
Successes achieved from TDM Planning will also significantly impact GHG emission reductions while providing sustainable mobility solutions. The sustainable solution combines innovative strategies with proven trip reduction methods, mobility-enhancing strategies, and energy consumption-reducing programs at a City-wide level. The results include mitigating GHG emissions and other pollutants, improving traffic flow and connectivity, reducing parking demand, and lowering energy bills.
City of Mountain View
The Downtown Precise Plan policies1 encourage and offer incentives for more transit-oriented and sustainable development while supporting diverse land uses to serve future workers and neighbors.
1 City of Mountain View, Mountain View General Plan 2030 (adopted July 10, 2012) Mountain View has required trip reduction programs (sometimes called commute alternative programs) in several areas of the city. In the Transit Zone near the Middlefield light rail station, property owners can obtain approval of higher-intensity development by agreeing to implement trip reduction programs as a condition of approval.
Trip reduction plans are typically tailored to the unique needs of a specific employer and require time to implement, monitor and refine before they are fully effective. Most trip reduction plans occur at the employment end of commute trips because it is the employer who initiates and manages trip reduction programs.
Source: Mountain View Downtown Precise Plan, Appendix A, Transportation Demand Management 705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
According to the Downtown Precise Plan (Appendix A), the most effective trip reduction strategies can combine to increase the range of effectiveness. The Precise Plan cited national research "that the most effective trip reduction strategies fall into the following three categories….1) Financial incentives
and disincentives, 2) Shuttles
to/from transit stations or remote
parking lots, and 3) Subsidized
vanpool programs."
Because the Plan designed for the
project includes several TDM
measures, it was appropriate to
show that the packaged set of
measures could result in significant
trip reduction effectiveness.
The Plan includes most public and
private services and measures
identified in the Precise Plan. In
addition, the Plan consists of
additional measures and services
to enhance its trip reduction
effectiveness further to achieve a
20 percent peak hour reduction in
vehicle trips.
The City's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program (GGRP), adopted in July 2010, 2012, incorporates TDM requirements. The GGRP provides that by 2014, the city will adopt a TDM ordinance that requires all new non-residential development generating 50 employees or more to reduce home-based, drive-alone peak hour commute trips.
Santa Clara County Congestion Management Program
2 California's Congestion Management Program (CMP) statutes encourage local jurisdictions to develop comprehensive transportation improvement programs that reduce traffic congestion, improve land-use decision-making, and enhance air quality.
The State's CMP statutes require regular monitoring to determine whether local jurisdictions are in conformance with all elements of the CMP. In Santa Clara County, CMP member agencies submit their monitoring data to VTA annually. If a member agency fails to meet CMP standards or implement the program's requirements, it could be in non-conformance with the CMP and thus risk forfeiting a portion of its gas tax subventions from the State.
2 VTA Transportation Handbook, A Primer for Understanding Transportation in the Silicon Valley, 2009 Usually [TDM] measures are combined with other
services to create a “package” of measures. Trip
reduction packages can range from modest to aggressive
and have a range of effectiveness proportionate to the
range of services. The range of trip reduction packages include:
• Commute alternatives information only (trip
reduction effectiveness 1 percent to 3 percent).
• Information plus services (trip reduction
effectiveness 3 percent to 15 percent).
• Information plus services plus financial incentives
(trip reduction effectiveness 15 percent to 33
percent).
• Financial incentives only (trip reduction
effectiveness 12 percent to 25 percent).
• Parking charges where previously free (trip
reduction effectiveness 18 percent to 35
percent).

San Francisco Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program
Air District Regulation 14, Rule 1, also known as the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program, requires employers with 50 or more full-time employees to register and offer commuter benefits to their employees. This rule aims to improve air quality, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, and decrease traffic congestion in the San Francisco Bay Area by encouraging employees to commute to work by transit and different alternative commute modes, including teleworking.
1. Pre-tax commuter benefits
2. Alternative commuter benefit
3. Commuter subsidies
4. Telework option
5. Employer-provided transit
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project includes a three-story building containing approximately 15,056 gross office area square feet and 1,459 square feet of restaurant space. The site is at the southwest corner of W.
Dana Street and Hope Street. The proposed use is general office space, restaurant, and underground parking will provide 13 parking spaces. Shown below is a project location map.
On-site bicycle parking, a shower, and a rooftop deck will provide appealing amenities to enable occupants to take alternative transportation to the site. In addition, with several bus and shuttle routes making nearby stops, this project will bring valuable transit-oriented office space and a restaurant to downtown Mountain View.

Transit Trip Planning Resources
Online trip planning services are a helpful tool for planning bike, carpool, and public transit trips.
Google has also collaborated with select regional transit agencies to provide a public transit planner for VTA, Caltrain, BART, and other San Francisco Bay Area systems riders. This free service is available online at https://www.google.com/maps/place .
RideMVGO
is the real-time tracking website for MVgo
shuttles. Shuttle riders can see real-time traffic
information and arrival estimates on the website.
The "Transit" mobile app also provides commuters
with trip and route planning resources. Users
can view real-time location, pending departure
times, and crowding data for local transit
agencies like BART, Caltrain, AC Transit, and
VTA. The Transit app lets users preview routes
using multiple transit modes and integrates fare
purchases and Lyft/Uber requests.
Bicycle Connections
The Santa Clara Bikeways map shown below
shows various bicycle facilities for commuters. Class II bike lanes are along California Street and

commuters, including:
♦ Bicycle maps
♦ Location of lockers
♦ How to take your bike on public transit
♦ How to take your bicycle across Bay Area toll bridges ♦ How to ride safely in traffic
♦ Tips on commuting
♦ Tips for bike selection
♦ Links to bicycle organizations
♦ Bike to Work Day
Pedestrian Facilities
According to WalkScore.com, this project location
scores 97 out of 100 for walkability, which means daily errands do not require a car. This type of connectivity provides a high level of pedestrian access for the
project.
TDM Planning
The following comprehensive Plan addresses employee commute trips typically associated with this type of project. The Plan contains appropriate measures and elements consistent with other Silicon Valley and regional commute programs.
This Plan encompasses an array of alternative transportation mode-use strategies categorized in the following three sections:
I. TDM Infrastructure and Physical Measures
II. Programmatic TDM Measures
III. TDM Monitoring and Reporting
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
SECTION I – TDM INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL MEASURES
The following physical infrastructure measures are designed to support alternative transportation commuters. These Plan components will be installed during the construction of the project.
Infill Development
The proposed project would develop underused parcels within the existing urban area. As a result, the area surrounding these projects is fully improved. Under these conditions, the project would be infill development, contributing to trip reduction outcomes. According to the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County, infill development can reduce peak-hour vehicle trips by two percent.
3 Due to its infill location, the project will become a pedestrian-friendly, bicycle and transit- oriented mixed-use project that embraces the city's goals and policies. Some pedestrian and transit-oriented design features include orienting the building toward transit stops and tying it into adjacent bicycle and pedestrian circulation facilities.
Wayfinding
The project will facilitate wayfinding for bicyclists and pedestrians by providing signage to help commuters navigate bicycle lockers, clothes lockers and the surrounding area's bicycle infrastructure network. Clear signage and wayfinding systems encourage bicycling by highlighting the presence of infrastructure designed to support bicyclists.
Building Design
Building design will enhance pedestrian continuity by:
• Recessing doors and window
features of the building to further
the walkable area of the
sidewalks.
• Incorporating landscaped areas to
serve visitors and passersby at the
entry to the building.
• Installing planters on the property
adjacent to the public right-of-
way.

August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
Fix-it Bicycle Repair Station
The applicant will install a bicycle Fix-it station to allow cyclists to conduct minor maintenance on their bikes. The Fix-it includes all the tools necessary to perform basic repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. The tools and air pump are securely
attached to the stand with
stainless steel cables and
tamper-proof fasteners.
Hanging the bike from the
hanger arms allows the
pedals and wheels to spin
while adjusting.
Shower and Clothes Lockers
A unisex shower will be installed for employees who walk, jog, or bicycle to work or wish to refresh after commuting via an alternate mode of transportation on the first floor. Three two- tier clothes lockers and shower facilities will be provided free of charge for all employees. A shower, kiosk, bicycle storage, and bike maintenance amenities will be accessible to all building users.
5.0 PARKING FACILITIES
The applicant will have a reduced parking supply and be responsible for stripping parking space pavement and providing appropriate signage for preferential carpool, vanpool, electric, and fuel-efficient parking throughout the site.
Reduced Parking Supply
The willingness and the actual level of employee ridesharing directly link to parking convenience and availability. The project will provide on-site parking for approximately 13 stalls, representing a 71 percent reduction on required parking.
AB 2097 prohibits a public agency from imposing or enforcing any minimum automobile parking requirement on any residential, commercial, or other development project within one-half mile of a Major Transit Stop. Reduced or constrained parking supports trip reduction and TDM efforts and discourages SOV commuting by limiting convenient parking options. Reduced parking availability also enhances other alternative transportation mode options.

August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
Carpool/Vanpool Designations
The project anticipates providing four parking spaces for carpool/vanpool parking.
These parking spaces will be designated for carpool and vanpool vehicles and the exclusive uses of ride-sharing employees. These parking spaces will be incorporated with the clean-air vehicle parking discussed below. The carpool/vanpool spaces will be in parking areas closest to a building's entrance or a prime location.
The carpool parking spaces may require policy development, employee registration, and permitting. Registered vanpools may receive a specially designated parking space.
Clean Air, Clean-Fuel Vehicle Facilities
The project will also include four clean-air parking spaces. The applicant will be responsible for the construction of the preferential parking space's construction, stripping, and signage. A description of the designated parking space includes:
• Four clean-air vehicle parking spaces will be installed. The clean-air vehicle parking space will accommodate carpool and vanpool striping and signage.
• Space will be in the parking areas closest to the
building's employee entrances or prime locations in
the garage.
The designed parking space satisfies CalGreen standards.
Electric Vehicle Parking
The project anticipates dedicating four parking stalls for electric vehicle (EV) parking. The applicant will pay for installing the EV charging stations and help coordinate with EV station operators directly billing EV users for charging electric utility costs.
It should be noted electric vehicle charging facilities are not a TDM measure and do not reduce vehicle trips. Instead, electric cars tend to generate drive-alone commuter trips and increase the demand for parking.

August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
6.0 TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTE INFORMATION KIOSK
The project will provide a transportation information kiosk in the building lobby. Easily accessible transportation information will be essential for commuter outreach and employee education.
A transportation kiosk can be electronic, mobile, or a physical board containing bike maps, transit schedules, and carpool fliers. A physical unit can be wall-mounted or a floor-standing model.
Shown at the right is the mobile app version of an electronic TransitScreen.
A TransitScreen app may better assist employees with their commuter planning needs.

August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
SECTION II – PROGRAMMATIC TDM MEASURES
The following programmatic measures enhance the success of the Plan. They create the "705 W. Dana St. Commute Program upon implementation." Representing various promotions and outreach activities of the Commute Program, these measures are TDM components required of tenants and employers as part of their occupancy agreements. Implementation efforts represent the backbone of a successful commuter program.
10.0 TENANT COMMUTER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program
State law requires employers to register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program. Tenants with 50 employees or more must register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program.
Air District Regulation 14, Rule 1, also known as the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program, requires employers with 50 or more full-time employees to register and offer commuter benefits to their employees. Benefits may be pre- tax options, transit subsidies, telework, or more. This rule aims to improve air quality, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, and decrease traffic congestion in the San Francisco Bay Area by encouraging employees to commute by transit, bike, carpool, and telework or different commute modes.
Transit Subsidies
The applicant will encourage office tenants to offer all employees a transit subsidy or pass for commuting to the project site. A transit subsidy program may include participation in the Caltrain Go Pass or VTA SmartPass program or a comparable transit subsidy or commuter allowance each month.
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
To be successful, the future tenant will need the flexibility to choose the type and amount of transit subsidy and incorporate benefit programs that best suit their employees' needs.
Subsidies will be equivalent to the cost of a three-zone Caltrain monthly pass. Subsidies may also be provided in tandem with the pre-tax payroll deduction program.
Caltrain Go Pass:
The Caltrain Go Pass program allows companies to purchase annual unlimited ride passes for all eligible employees. A Go Pass sticker adheres to an approved identification badge, and the user presents it on the train as proof of payment. The Go Pass is good for travel on Caltrain between all zones, seven days a week, for one low annual cost per user.4
VTA SmartPass:
VTA's SmartPass is an annual calendar-year pass available for institutions within Santa Clara County. It is a deeply discounted pass making it a low-cost benefit allowing employers to reduce their environmental impact while saving their employees from the expenses and hassles of driving and parking. SmartPass participants may use their pass as often as they need or choose, whether they are daily VTA riders, use the service occasionally, or are entirely new to public transit.5
Vanpool Subsidies
The applicant will encourage tenants to offer vanpool subsidies equivalent to the amount provided to transit riders. Employees can form vanpools through a vendor such as Commute with Enterprise and utilize an employer-provided (if offered) subsidy to cover gas, parking, and more. Providing vanpool subsidies in tandem with pre-tax payroll deductions is allowed.
Combining vanpool subsidies with existing subsidies through Commute.org and MTC 511 can significantly lower the vanpool cost for commuters.
Pre-tax Transit Payroll Deduction
The office tenant(s) will offer a transit and vanpool pre-tax payroll deduction option for employers to provide transit and vanpool expenses tax-free. The monthly cap for the transit and vanpool benefits is now $300/month as of 2023. The transit and vanpool pre-tax benefit is a valuable and easy tool for employers to provide their employees.
Employees elect to withhold funding from their paycheck to purchase fare media for transit or vanpools. The employee received the payroll amount withheld untaxed, and the employer does not pay employment taxes on those funds. The transit and vanpool pre-tax benefit helps reduce congestion, increase transit ridership, and improve air quality.

705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
Pre-tax Parking Payroll Deduction – Optional
The office tenant(s) will offer a parking pre-tax payroll deduction option for employers to provide parking expenses tax-free. The monthly cap for the parking benefits is now at $300/month as of 2023.
Employees elect to withhold funding from their paychecks to purchase payment media for parking expenses incurred at transit stations. The employee's amount withheld is untaxed, and the employer does not pay employment taxes on those funds.
Regional Bikeshare Participation – Conceptual
If the city establishes a public bike sharing program, the applicant will encourage tenants to promote and offer employees discounted
rides for bicycles and
scooters. Bikeshare and scooter programs
encourage people to use bikes and
scooters as options for first- and last-mile
trips while minimizing traffic and parking
congestion.
Telework/Remote Work Option
The office tenant(s) will allow their
employees to work remotely when viable.
Providing telework infrastructure and
equipment may be needed to ensure that
teleworkers enjoy fast, smooth data
transmission between their workplace and
telework office. Telework options reduce or eliminate the need for commute travel to the office.
Alternative Work Schedule Option – Flextime, Compressed Workweek The office tenant(s) will offer their employees the option to use an alternative work schedule.
An alternative work schedule may include a compressed workweek (e.g., a four-day week) option or flextime (e.g., adjusting work hours to fit arrival and departure times).
A compressed workweek lets employees work longer hours but shorter weeks. The shortened workweek and shifted hours may help employees avoid rush-hour traffic and reduce commute days. Employees also have an additional day for leisure activities, personal business, and family time.
Typical compressed work options include a 9/8/80 workweek and a 4/10 schedule. A 9/8/80 schedule is eight nine-hour workdays (72 hours) plus one eight-hour day, totaling 80 hours over two weeks. This program allows employees to have one day off every two weeks. A 4/10
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
schedule enables the employee to work four 10-hour days per week. Employees typically are divided into two groups: one works Monday through Thursday, and the other works Tuesday through Friday.
Flextime provides versatility, enables employees to use rideshare options more conveniently, and avoids congestion and transit crowding. It is also an attractive employee recruitment tool that allows employees to work around childcare or school schedules.
To maximize alternative transportation mode use, the project tenant(s) will prefer alternative work schedules to employees who use an alternative mode.
11.0 TENANT COMMUTER SERVICE & RESOURCES
Office tenants will partner with the Applicant and property management to develop employee commute programs and services. As written in the lease agreement, the tenant will be required to provide an employee transportation coordinator, participate in the emergency ride home program (ERH), and may offer their employees a transit subsidy or transit passes to all employees.
Employee Transportation Coordinator/Employee Assistance The tenant shall identify an employee transportation coordinator (ETC) to manage and monitor the alternative commute program. The ETC's primary responsibility will be implementing many of the programs and features described in the Plan. The ETC will provide ongoing commute assistance to employees, produce on-site transportation fairs and promotional events, collaborate with VTA to promote the SmartPass program, 511 to maximize rideshare resources, conduct the annual survey, and create the yearly commute report.
The ETC will provide the following services:
• Promote trip reduction and air quality strategies to employees at the project site. • Maintain membership in the TMA and promote the emergency ride home program to employees.
• Be the main point of contact for tenants/employers and employees who wish to commute using an alternative transportation mode.
• Work with local agencies such as Caltrain, VTA, 511 Rideshare, Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). • Post informational materials on the campus commuter resource website and the transportation kiosks and disperse alternative program information to employees via 705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
designated employer contacts, posters, flyers, banners, e-newsletters, new employee orientation, etcetera.
• Participate in the BAAQMD Spare the Air program to encourage employees not to drive to work alone.
• Provide timely transit alerts to riders of VTA and Caltrain. • Coordinate various aspects of the program that require periodic updating or monitoring, such as the guaranteed ERH program, car and vanpool registration, parking enforcement, and locker assignment and enforcement; and,
• Develop and manage transportation and commute information webpage. The webpage will contain transportation information, resources, links, promotions, incentives, prizes, or awards, spare the air notices, transit links, 511 ride-matching, and other related information.
Alternate transportation programs will be presented to commuters comprehensively and proactively like any other employee program by participating in and supporting employee orientation forums or transportation fairs, posting on the transportation kiosk, employee newsletters, management bulletins, emails, and other methods.
An Employee Commute Program may include explaining the area's air quality problems and describing how fighting air pollution is part of being a good corporate citizen. The employees must recognize the benefits on a personal and community level to see how they gain better air quality: less traffic congestion on the highways and the surrounding neighborhoods, fewer parking hassles, and employee cost savings, among other benefits. The ETC will work to build employee participation in the commute programs.
Commute Information Page
The office tenant(s) will establish the homepage of employees' comprehensive transportation and commute information. The page will contain transportation information, resources, and links, including promotions, incentives, Bay Area Spare the Air notices, guaranteed ride home information, transit schedules, 511 ride-matching, and other related information.
Clipper START Discounted Pass
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) initiated a new means-based fare discount program for eligible low-income adults. Clipper START
discounts range between 20 and 50 percent, depending
on the transit agency.
The ETC will promote this existing program to
employees. More information is available at
https://www.clipperstartcard.com/s/.
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
Clipper Card Grants Up to $7,500
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District offers income- qualified Bay Area residents a grant to replace an older car with an electric bicycle or Clipper Card for public transit containing $7,500.
The vehicle must be 15 years or older to qualify, and income limitations determine the grant amount.
More information is available on the Air District's Clean Cars for All webpage. The ETC will promote this existing program to employees.
Guaranteed Ride Home Program
Property management (and tenants) will promote the VTA
guaranteed ride home program (GRH). Employees who commute to work using transit, bicycle, carpool, or vanpool will receive a guaranteed free ride home in the case of a personal emergency or when they unexpectedly must work late, thereby missing the last bus or their regular carpool home. The GRH program has proven successful, removing one of the significant objections to employees must give up their private automobiles, especially those with young families.
MTC $500 Monthly Vanpool Group Subsidy
The tenant(s) will inform their employees about the $500 monthly vanpool subsidy from 511.org and the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The Bay
Area 511 Vanpool Program partnered with Commute with
Enterprise to provide an all-inclusive option to make
vanpooling easy. A Commute with Enterprise vanpool
comes with a newer model, low-mileage van, or SUV,
including roadside assistance and maintenance.
VTA $400 Vanpool Monthly Subsidy
VTA is offering vanpoolers $400 per month for vanpool expenses. Vanpoolers can combine this group subsidy with MTC's 511 Bay Area Vanpool Program subsidy to receive up to $900 per month discounted from their vanpool. The ETC will promote this existing subsidy to employees and residents.
Carpool and Vanpool Ride-matching Platform
Tenants will promote free ride-matching services. The ETC(s) will actively match potential vanpool partners using employee zip code data. Matched vanpoolers can lease vanpool vehicles with Commute with Enterprise. San Francisco Bay Area 511.org also provides ride-matching services in their online 511.org Merge platform.
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
Carpool Incentive Programs
• Carpool (HOV) Lanes – Carpool lanes, also known as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, can reduce commute times. During commute hours, carpool lanes require commuters to be in a carpool, vanpool, public transit vehicle, or riding a motorcycle. Carpool lanes vary in hours of operation and the minimum number of people per car. A list of HOV hours of operation and restrictions is available at https://511.org/carpool-vanpool/carpool/lanes.
• Park and Ride Lots – 150 free park-and-ride lots conveniently located throughout the Bay Area, where carpool partners or vanpools can meet in a central location. Many lots also feature easy access to transit connections and bike lockers.
12.0 TENANT COMMUTER MARKETING & OUTREACH
New Employee Onboarding
A commuter program onboarding process will engage new employees, and onboarding may include pre-hire planning and support to coordinate employees' transportation needs. Once hired, the onboarding process will include an overview of commuter benefits, systems, services, and resources. Providing personalized support during welcome events and one-on-one sessions will help new employees start employment.
Commuter Marketing: Employee Transportation Fairs
Project tenants may host periodic transportation events or tablings. Tenants will include commuter information at company wellness or benefits fairs. The tenant's ETC will add tabling space to the employer's commute program to join these employee events when appropriate.
Commuter Marketing: Newsletter Articles and Emails
Periodic rideshare articles or emails will be written by the tenant's ETC for internal newsletters (if desired), with ongoing highlights of alternative commuters and their successes. Internal company notices and incentive promotions should attract commuters' attention, generate excitement about commuting alternatives, and reward those who rideshare.
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
The tenant's ETC will register with the BAAQMD to receive regional air quality forecast bulletins about unhealthy air quality days for the Spare the Air program. Employees will receive these email updates to encourage alternative transit modes during peak advisory periods.
Mountain View Transportation Management Association
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are private, nonprofit organizations run by a voluntary board of directors, typically small staff. They help businesses, employers, developers, building owners, local government representatives, and others collectively establish policies, programs, and services to address transportation problems. The key to these transportation organizations lies in the synergism of multiple groups banding together to address and accomplish more than any employer, building operator, or developer could do alone. In Mountain View, a TMA has been established.
Before issuing the certificate of occupancy, the applicant may become a one-time member of the MVgo. As employers and tenants occupy the project, TMA membership may require lease agreements. By becoming a member of the Mountain View TMA, employers, and their employees will benefit from several programs and services that will encourage employees to use mass transit, carpooling, vanpooling, and other means of alternative transportation. The tenant will ultimately control its performance under the Plan following the lease. The applicant will pay the initial fee to join the TMA, and the tenant will be required to maintain annual TMA membership afterward.
Recorded CC&Rs, leases, or other binding agreements ensure TMA membership.
Existing TMA programs include:
• Shuttle programs
• Real-time shuttle tracking app
• Late or missing shuttle trip reimbursements
Future TMA programs and services may include:
• Carpool and vanpool matching • Transit trip planner
• Parking management programs • Transit advocacy
• Trial transit passes • Employer Training
• Emergency ride home program • Marketing programs
• Shared bicycle facilities • Promotional assistance

August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
SECTION III – TDM COMPLIANCE, MONITORING, & REPORTING
A comprehensive program of TDM measures and incentives can reduce parking demand, traffic, and air pollution, creating a more sustainable employment environment while freeing up valuable land for higher and better uses.
Adequate parking, traffic congestion, and air pollution are critical concerns in maintaining a healthy economy for the city. Traffic congestion results in time lost to residents and commuters and increased demand on City fiscal resources for roadway construction and maintenance.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "mobile sources account for more than half of all the air pollution in the United States. The primary mobile source of air pollution is the automobile." "…today's motor vehicles are still responsible for up to half of all the emissions released into the air." "In the Bay Area, the transportation sector accounts for more than 50 percent of air pollution and more than 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions." 6 13.0 COMPLIANCE, MONITORING, AND REPORTING
The 705 W. Dana Street project does not require a vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) evaluation because it is inside a transit priority area (TPA). The project's VTM evaluation, based on its proximity to transit, removed its obligation from additional VMT trip reduction requirements.
Below is the VMT evaluation tool report showing the project is inside a TPA. Attachment M presents the complete VMT evaluation report.
Attachment N provides a table documenting the targeted trip reduction obtained through the proposed TDM strategies.

705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
Active and cooperative property management and involved tenants/employers will positively impact the implementation of the Plan measures. The applicant or property manager for the site shall participate in the following commute alternative programs to increase transit use and reduce the need for employees to drive alone to work.
The Plan intends to reduce peak-hour vehicle trips and lessen parking demand, traffic congestion, and mobile source-related air pollution.
As written, this Plan will achieve at least a 20 percent reduction in peak-hour vehicle trips.
Implementing a TDM reporting and monitoring program will evaluate the performance and success of the project's TDM plan.
Tenant Performance and Lease Language – TDM Requirements The applicant will ensure (via lease requirements) that the project tenant provides resources for their employees. Additionally, the applicant will include lease language for future tenants that requires identifying a designated employer contact responsible for implementing the Plan (including annual survey, reporting, and registration in the emergency guaranteed ride home program). Sample lease language may be worded as follows:
Transportation Management. Tenant shall fully comply with all current or future programs mandated by the City of Mountain View to manage parking, transportation, or traffic in and around the Project and/or the Building. In connection therewith, the tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees on the Premises by working directly with the Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization, or any other transportation- related committees or entities. Such programs may include, without limitation: (i) restrictions on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips generated by t enants; (ii) increased vehicle occupancy; (iii) implementation of an in- house ridesharing program, transit subsidies, and designation of an employee transportation coordinator; (iv) working with employees and any Project , Building or area-wide ridesharing program manager to conduct annual commuter surveys; (v) instituting employer -sponsored incentives (financial or in- kind) to encourage employees to rideshare; joining the Mountain View TMA , and (vi) utilizing telework and flexible work shifts for employees.; and be responsible for any financial penalties for non- attainment of vehicle trip reduction requirements.
Annual Employee Commute Survey
Because the Plan is performance-based, the tenant will perform an annual commute program evaluation (a five-day, weekday commute survey), allowing the applicant, tenant, and the city to assess the effectiveness of the unique program designed for this project. Survey data can focus marketing and outreach efforts on employees based on their specific commuter interests.
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
The commute survey will be a critical part of the monitoring process to evaluate and ensure the success of the Plan's measures. Annual surveys will record and monitor the trips. A nonresponse to annual surveys should be considered a drive-alone trip.
Annual Peak Hour Driveway Hose Count
The project will conduct an annual driveway hose count. The purpose of the count is to document the TDM Plan's effectiveness in achieving the required trip reduction. Driveway hoses or video cameras will be placed at all driveway access points for one week to track daily and peak-hour trips.
Peak-hour traffic counts will be conducted from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on three non-consecutive days per year on typical weekdays during the fall when school is in session.
Peak hour is when daily traffic volume is highest, generally during morning and afternoon commute times. Traffic counts will occur during AM and PM peak periods to define peak hours for those periods. The peak 60 minutes will be calculated for both the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. The highest net trips from AM or PM peak hours will be used. Net trips will be calculated by subtracting trips for existing uses from those generated by the new project.
An independent consultant will prepare the report and be paid for by the project. The consultant will work in concert with the transportation coordinator and the ETC.
Trip Generation Estimate
A formal traffic study was not prepared for this project. However, the TDM Plan used the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) guidelines to calculate the peak-hour AM and PM trips with the proposed new land uses.
Below are daily and peak-hour ITE estimated trips assumed for the project, along with the expected number of reduced vehicle trips. This project's estimated AM and PM peak-hour trips
705 W. Dana St. — Preliminary TDM Plan
August 15, 2021 (revised: July 21, 2023)
total 72 (37+35). The project must reduce peak hour trips by 14 (seven AM and PM) and daily trips by 64 to meet the 20 percent trip reduction requirement.
**The ITE estimated trips were not reviewed by a Traffic Engineer.
Annual Commute Survey Report
The tenant ETC will prepare an annual TDM summary report to the city each year, documenting the Plan's effectiveness. A report summarizing the results from the employee survey will provide mode-use information. Shown to the
right s an example of a 21.5 percent peak-hour
trip reduction.
The initial annual employee survey (and
subsequent surveys) will be conducted in each
year's second or fourth quarter. Reports will be
provided to the City's Zoning Administrator.
Additionally, the annual report shall accompany a list of all incentive programs or commute alternatives currently offered to all persons working in the building, including regular, part- time, and contract employees.
Penalty for Non-compliance
The tenant shall prepare an annual TDM report and submit it to the city to document the Plan's effectiveness in achieving a 20 percent peak-hour trip reduction. The TDM report will be prepared by a TDM consultant and paid for by the property, which will work in concert with the tenant's ETC. The TDM report will include determining historical employee commute methods, which will be obtained by surveying all employees working in the buildings on the property. All nonresponses to the employee commute survey will be a drive-alone trip (as a default mechanism).

• TDM Reports: The initial TDM report will be submitted one (1) year after granting a certificate of occupancy for 75 percent or more of the project. The city will collect subsequent reports annually.
• Report Requirements: The Plan's goal is to encourage alternative mode usage. The initial TDM report shall either:
(1) state that the applicable property has achieved a 20 percent peak-hour trip reduction, providing supporting statistics and analysis to establish the attainment of the goal; or
(2) state that the applicable property has not achieved the car-free rate, explaining how and why the goal has been unreached and describing additional measures to implement to attain the Plan's goal in the coming year.
• The penalty for Non-Compliance: If after the initial TDM report, the second annual report indicates that, despite the changes in the Plan, the car-free rate is still unachieved, or if the tenant fails to submit such a TDM report at times described above, City may assess the applicant a penalty.
o In determining whether a financial penalty is appropriate, the City may consider whether the employer/tenant has made a good-faith effort to meet the Plan's goals. The city may allow the owner a six-month "grace period" to implement additional TDM measures to meet the 20 percent reduction.
o Any expenses to rebuild the 20 percent peak-hour trip reduction rate may be subtracted from the TDM Penalty.
o The TDM Penalty shall be paid to the MVTMA and used to promote transportation alternatives to drive-alone vehicle commuting in the City.
14.0 CONCLUSION
The proactive 705 W. Dana St. TDM Plan meets trip reduction rates and tenant transportation needs for the project. In addition, this TDM Plan identifies specific elements, measures, and actions that guide the project to promote existing resources and programs, enhance future benefits, and create a resident-focused program. Significant on-site amenities, employee outreach, ongoing marketing and promotions, a free guaranteed emergency ride home program, transit resources, vanpool subsidies, and ETC services will support an effective and successful program at the project.
