The largest employers in Santa Monica are City Hall and City Service employees, Santa Monica Unified School District and Santa Monica College. I do NOT see any information in this report or proposal on restricting or requiring these employers or employees to ride share. Why not?
Public transportation like buses are useless unless they are on a 10 minute schedule at high computer times.
All types of transportation must be safe. Scooter and biking are not safe transportation in this City. Walking is not safe due to scooters, bikes and mentally unstable individuals on the sidewalks Buses and trains must have clean and safe environments.
I am sorry City Council is still closed to public comment.
Please take a moment to honor Catherin Eldridge who has passed away in the past month.

Hello,
I’ve been working with GoSaMo for many years and I can’t say enough about their support program for local business like Lionsgate. They obviously try very hard to unite the community around green initiatives and transportation solutions. It is also very comforting to know they are there to answer any quick questions regarding the annual transportation survey when that comes around.
I sincerely hope the City can continue to have GoSaMo/Steer available to us as local businesses to help guide us to a better overall transportation management situation in Santa Monica.
Regards,

To whom it may concern,
Steer has been an influential part in the success of sustainability programs in the city of Santa Monica. The team over at Steer has aided businesses big or small in creating programs that benefit not only businesses and the city itself but also the employees that commute into the city allowing for ecofriendly methods of transportation in and out of the city. Steers expertise has allowed to broaden our perspective and ways of thinking of how we can best provide back to the community by allowing us to share each individuals or business ideas in our own "board meetings." This in return provides each business representative new ideas that they can present back to their respective businesses with possible implementation. The contribution that Steer has provided all of us has no boundaries; it goes from sharing news strategies and programs to an open panel discussion on new ideas for a better, healthier, sustainable tomorrow.
I hope Steer can continue to enlighten us with their presence and guide us in the right direction for a better tomorrow.
Best,
Camilo Alvarez

Climate Action Santa Monica supports item 3A, which will continue the work of the established Transportation Management Organization (TMO). The TMO, as it has been administered, has been engaging employers and listening to residents of all neighborhoods to support sustainable transportation. It has focused upon reduction of vehicle miles traveled and increased average vehicle ridership, both of which are particularly important to reducing congestion and carbon emissions from transportation, Santa Monica’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Thank you,

Hello City Council Members,
My name is Austin Toyama, and I am writing in my public comment in support of agenda item 3.A – “Award Request for Proposal #290 and enter into Agreement with Steer for Administration of Transportation and Outreach Services for the Santa Monica Transportation Management Organization” on behalf of the Santa Monica‐Malibu Unified School District’s Sustainability staff.
The City of Santa Monica’s Transportation Management Organization (TMO) has been able to advance community mobility goals in the past several years through successful program management by Steer. The city, our students, and the larger community have benefited by Steer’s work with the City’s TMO. Options for sustainable transportation has greatly increased and has been made more easy, efficient, and safe thanks to Steer’s work with the TMO. Increases in shared mobility, biking and walking routes, public transit routes, and outreach campaigns have helped our community to reach their destinations safely while reducing local air pollution from vehicle exhaust emissions. The health benefits of sustainable transportation are also numerous.
Please consider approving agenda item 3.A to further the sustainable operations of the City’s transportation and the health of the community.
Thank you,
Austin Toyama
Sustainability Manager

Dear Mayor Himmelrich and Council Members:
As a co-founder of the SaMo Safe Streets Alliance and as a member of the Advisory Team for the GoSaMo Transportation Management Organization (TMO), I write to support the contract with Steer to administer the TMO. I have personally witnessed the diligence, responsiveness and imagination of the Steer team setting up our GoSaMo TMO, in collaboration with City staff, to inform and support employers and residents in seeing the advantages and developing habits of sustainable commuting. Diverse employers and multi-generational community members have been readily engaged to understand the role that we all have in reducing our greenhouse gasses and building our climate resiliency. Steer has valued everyone’s contributions in bringing into reality the community’s sustainable commuting.
I urge you to advance the contract with Steer.
With respect,
Cris Gutierrez

Re: Item 3.A – Steer contract - SUPPORT
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I have served as a member of the Advisory Team for the Santa Monica Transportation Management Organization (“GoSaMo”) for nearly four years.
Steer’s management of the GoSaMo TMO has been invaluable to me in my job, and they have provided critical support and assistance to our member businesses in navigating and complying with the City’s transportation demand management ordinance, reducing single occupancy vehicle commutes, and promoting transportation alternatives.
I strongly support Item 3.A on tonight’s agenda and look forward to continuing my involvement with Steer and the GoSaMo TMO.

Agenda Item 3A - GoSaMo TMO - Steer Contract
Dear Santa Monica Mayor and City Council Members,
Today I’m writing to you in support of item 3A on the City Council agenda for this evening as a representative of Santa Monica Spoke and a long standing TMO Steering Committee member - having served since its inception.
Over the last 5+ years I have had the privilege of watching the TMO !ourish as a steering committee member on the GoSaMo TMO Advisory Team. I’m have seen 1st hand the work Steer has done to engage, educate, and innovate new ideas to reduce congestion, improve mobility, and improve air quality in Santa Monica. The Steer team have proven themselves as an enthusiastic engaged asset supporting employers who are required to annually submit an Emission Reduction Plan as per the Santa Monica TDM Ordinance — and beyond. Apart from the work helping employers with compliance with the local mobility ordinance, they have also hosted fun and educational employer events and trainings, as well as sending out the regular TMO communications via their newsletter and social media as well as other digital assets to help residents and employees stay in touch with current information about transit services and changes. The TMO has been instrumental in advancing the City’s environmental goals and building a community that is more sustainable and passionate about making a di"erence in the way we commute to and from, within Santa Monica, and beyond.
It has been a pleasure to work with the TMO’s sta" and advisory team and I look forward to this continued partnership. The GoSaMo TMO is a resource that ultimately helps our city thrive as we reach toward our goals of reduced congestion, environmental and economic resilience.
Please approve item 3A.
Sincerely
Cynthia Rose
Santa Monica Spoke
