SUNNYVALE RESIDENTIAL TDM COMPLIANCE PLAN
The 148 & 156 Crescent Ave. Transportation Demand Management Compliance Plan provides basic information about the project and outlines how the project will comply with the Sunnyvale Residential TDM Ordinance. The 148 & 156 Crescent Ave. TDM Plan incorporates TDM strategies to reduce traffic impacts and maximize mobility options.
City of Sunnyvale Transportation Demand Management Program In June of 2021, the City of Sunnyvale adopted an update to the TDM Ordinance, which amended Chapter 10.32 of the Municipal Code. The TDM Ordinance aims to address the transportation-related impacts of new and existing developments to establish strategies that decrease the number of daily vehicle trips to and from a property.
All multi-family development projects consisting of 10 or more residential units shall participate in the Multi-family Residential TDM Program.
Project Description
The approved project includes one single-family home and 18 condominium units.
Residents can walk or bike to nearby employment sites, transit stops, dining, shopping, and recreation. The complex includes commercial and community space, with on-site amenities for residents, such as secure bike parking, guest bike parking, and a bicycle repair station.
Potential residents and new occupants will be given information about alternative transportation and commute options during occupancy. Early outreach is a critical juncture to educate people about the benefits of alternative transportation. They may be more receptive to this information as their commute patterns have changed after the relocation.
The future homeowner association (HOA) will provide residents with information and updates regarding transportation resources and implement many of the measures outlined in the TDM Measure Implementation table below.

Commuter Programs and Sustainable Transportation Goals
The City of Sunnyvale requires the 148 & 156 Crescent Avenue residential project to implement green transportation, mobility, and commuter programs and report annual trip reduction successes. Homeowners and residents are asked to reduce single-vehicle occupant (SOV) commuter trips. The trip reduction goal of the Crescent Avenue project is for residents to use transit, carpool, bike, walk, or telework instead of driving alone.
This program aims to reduce our peak period (commute) vehicular trips and maximize public transit, shuttles, carpooling, car-sharing, bicycles, and walking options.
I acknowledge receipt of the 148 & 156 Crescent Avenue Commuter Resource Flier, which includes links to the online 511.org transportation website and sites for VTA, Caltrain, and Commute with Enterprise. The flier provides transportation and commuter information and links to local and regional transportation services and benefits. Commuter benefits include cash incentives for carpoolers, vanpool subsidies, transit planning and incentives, ridematching support, and bicycle route planning.
