Introduction Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a combination of services, incentives, facilities, and actions that reduce single–occupant vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and air pollution problems. The purpose of this Transportation Demand Management Plan is to recommend trip reduction strategies with the goal of reducing overall vehicular trip making from the project. This document identifies the baseline vehicular trip generation of the proposed project and documents appropriate trip generation reduction strategies. Redwood City has adopted a goal to reduce single-occupant vehicle trips to 50% citywide. In order to achieve 50% citywide, Redwood City has adopted a goal of 33% drive-alone mode share for the downtown area, which has greater access to transit alternatives than other parts of the city. The 610 Walnut Street site is considered to be close enough to the downtown to have the more stringent requirement. Project Description The proposed office development is located 610 Walnut within the Downtown Medical Campus (Kaiser) Precise Plan area in Redwood City, California (see Figure 1). The site currently is developed with a 11,123 square-foot two-story office building. The proposed project would replace the existing office building with a 63,828 square-foot office building with underground parking. The project proposes to provide 132 vehicle parking spaces and 28 bicycle parking spaces on site. There is currently on-street parking along both Walnut Street and Bradford Street. The project would maintain the on-street parking, but some spaces would shift due to driveway placement. Due to its location in the Downtown Medical Campus (Kaiser) Precise Plan area, the project is required to prepare a TDM plan. This TDM Plan responds to the Precise Plan requirement and includes a broad range of TDM measures designed to reduce single-occupant vehicle trips and the project parking demand through a combination of appropriate measures to promote alternative forms of transportation. The objectives of the TDM Program include encouraging employees to use existing transit services and encouraging the use of bicycle travel and walking to, from, and around the area. The program complies with the City’s current expectations for TDM measures and incorporates current best practices for reducing single- occupant vehicle trips to achieve the goal of 33% drive alone mode share P a g e | 1 610 Walnut Street Office Development TDM Plan E Bayshore Rd Seaport Blvd Bair Island Rd D St REDWOOD Convention Way B St CITY 101 Blomquist St Winslow St Arguello St ut St Waln Veterans Blvd Whipple Ave Brewster Ave Bradford St Winslow St El Camino Real Marshall St Maple St Middlefield Rd Hopkins Ave Broadway St Broadway Jefferson Ave Main St Bay Rd Redwood Woodside Rd City Caltrain Station Spring St Middlefield Rd LEGEND = Site Location Figure 1 Site Location 610 Walnut Street Office Development TDM Plan WALNUT STREET 4 9 10 6 1 2 5 3 7 INE O L T - 14'-0" D IL MIN.

Transportation Facilities and Services Transportation facilities and services that support sustainable modes of transportation include commuter rail, buses and shuttle buses, bicycle facilities, pedestrian facilities, and metered parking. This chapter describes existing facilities and services near the project site that would support the TDM measures contained in this plan. Figure 3 shows the existing bus and rail services. Caltrain Commuter Rail Caltrain provides commuter rail service between San Francisco and San Jose, with limited service to Gilroy during commute hours. The project site is located about one half-mile northeast of the Redwood City Caltrain station, which is approximately a 10-minute walk. The Redwood City Station is served by local-stop, limited-stop, and baby bullet trains. During the morning peak period of 6:00 AM to 9:30 AM, the Redwood City Station is served by ten northbound trains, including three baby bullet and seven limited-stop trains, with headways between 6 and 34 minutes. Twelve southbound trains, including five baby bullet and seven limited-stop trains, serve the Redwood City Station in the AM peak period with headways between 5 and 35 minutes. During the PM peak period between 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM, the station is served by thirteen northbound trains, including five baby bullet, seven limited-stop and one local-stop trains with headways between 7 and 42 minutes. Ten southbound trains, including one local stop, three baby bullet, six limited-stop trains, with headways between 5 and 52 minutes serve the Redwood City Station during PM peak hours. Bus Routes The San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) provides bus service within 18 cities in San Mateo County and into portions of San Francisco and Palo Alto. The project site is served by Routes 270 and 276. The closest bus top is located approximately 700 feet southwest of the project site at the intersection of Main Street and Marshall Street. Access between this bus stop and the project site is provided via sidewalks located along both sides of Walnut Street, Marshall Street, Bradford Street, and Main Street. The project site is located within 0.5 miles from the Redwood City Transit Center with multiple weekday bus routes.
