Develop and adopt a Citywide Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan including strategies to reduce peak-hour traffic, such as staggered work hours, flexible schedule options, and telecommuting from home offices. Include updated policy incentives or disincentive options to achieve reductions in peak-hour traffic, reduce traffic congestions and promotes alternative transportation (biking, walking, and use of transit).

Partner with AC Transit to conduct a study to determine transit priority corridors and prioritize infrastructure improvements in existing neighborhoods that enable people to better access and use public transit. 

Assess the feasibility and GHG reduction impact of banning cars in high-traffic zone(s) or on individual roads in the City where other transit options are available by implementing a congestion charge that applies to passenger cars and car-sharing services like Uber and Lyft with exceptions for handicap drivers and residents of those areas. 

Conduct local transportation surveys to better understand the community’s needs and motivation for traveling by car versus other alternatives such as AC Transit or BART. Use survey results to inform policy development and education/outreach campaigns that are transit focused. Consistent with the previous CAP policy M-3 (Survey Transportation and Transit Gaps and Barriers).  

Dedicate staff time or create a staff position to pursue funding opportunities to implement planned City transit/TDM projects and programs and to support AC Transit in obtaining grant funding for region-wide service expansion. 

Collaborate and engage with AC Transit to understand how they are addressing the Innovative Clean Transit Rule and their plan to electrify their bus fleet. 

Expand the Student Transit Pass Program (STPP), which provides free youth clipper cards with unlimited bus rides to middle and high schools students, to provide free AC transit to college students and low income community members.

Through the adoption of an ordinance or incorporation into large commercial building codes, require all employers to develop a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan. TDM plans should include money-based incentives for employees to bike, walk, carpool, or take the bus to work. In alignment with BAAQMD requirement, large employers (more than 50 employees) shall subsidize biking, walking, or bus travel. 

Consistent with the intention of Senate Bill 10, allow developers to build housing without off-street parking if they’re close to frequent transit service. 

Evaluate and prioritize transit stops needing renovations that do not meet the adopted Pedestrian Design Standard for Transit Stop. Upgrade transit stops such that they include bicycle parking and shade trees or structures and are designed to promote use.
