In light of the State’s elimination of mandatory employer-based trip reduction requirements, the following is adopted in order to assist the Town in continuing the implementation of a TSM Ordinance and program:
a. To promote maximum efficiency in the existing transportation system and to further the transportation goals of the Measure C Growth Management Program, Contra Costa’s Congestion Management Program and the Bay Area Clean Air Plan by:
1. Promoting and encouraging the use of transit, ridesharing, bicycling, walking, flexible work hours and telecommuting as alternatives to solo driving;
2. Incorporating these goals and objectives into the land use review and planning process;
3. Developing proactive programs and/or projects aimed at achieving these goals either alone or in conjunction with other jurisdictions, or with the Southwest Area Transportation Planning Committee;
4. Considering the incorporation of appropriate technology designed to facilitate traffic flow, provide transit and highway information, provide trip generation alternatives, and related technology into the transportation system;
5. Cooperating with other jurisdictions, the private sector, and transit operators in planning and implementing transportation programs.
b. To reflect an ongoing commitment to expand TSM efforts beyond employer-based trip reduction programs, in order to achieve traffic congestion management and air quality goals.
c. To comply with applicable State and Federal laws as well as with Measure C Growth Management Program requirements pertaining to TSM.
