HDNORABLE CITY COUNCIL
Palo Alto, California
Attention: policy and Procedur •• Coa.itte.
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALO ALTO ESTABLISHING
REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION PEMANP MANAGEMENT
Members of the Council:
The purpose. of this staff report is to tOr\o'ard for Council
consideration and action a draft Hodel Ordinance Establishing
Requirements For Transportation Demand Management (Attachment l)~
This is the sa1&e ordinance as the Golden Triangle TOM Model
Ordinance recomm~nded by tile Golden Triangle Task Force~ staff
supports adoption of such an ordinance for Palo Alto and recommends
that Council refer this item to the Policy and Procedures committee
for review and recommendation.
BACKGROUND
Palo Alto has a long record of policies and actions that encourage
and favor the better utilization of existing transportation
services and facilities, rather than the continual physical
expansion of the roadway system, to serve increasing deThand for
travel~
Long before it was the trend to de so, Palo Alto had established
policies to discourage auto use, increase vehicle ~cupancy,
improve lI'Iass transit, increase transit ridership. promote and
facilitate bicycling and walking, avoid major increases in street
capacity, implement selective operational improvements to
facilitate traffic flow, promote the establishment of carpools and
vanpools, and supPort the reservation of special travel lanes for
buses and car/vanpools, as \iell as encourage employers to establ ish
transportation coordinator positions.
These policies have consistently been used to shape and guide City
prog~ams and projects. as well as city imposed requirements on new
private development4 The-refore, while terminoloqy such as
Transportation Demand Hanaqement~ Averaqe Vehicle Ridership.
COl'lU1lute Alternatives and High-OCCupancy Lanes may be new, the
concepts and objectives they embody have been guiding principles
in Palo Alto for a long time.

Surveys have .bown that traffic congestion la the number one
concern ot businesses in tboe Golden Triangle arl!!a,. and that
companies are willing to help .elv. the prObleD~ Employers have
the ability to encourage the uae of comMute alternatives through
the provisien of information. incentives, and commute assistance
to their elI!ployees. They !!Ire also able to provide a corporate
enviroru!lent &upportive of COlZlDlute alternatives throuqh policies
reqarding schedules,. parkinq services, and related iss~e6.
Several employers in the Golden Trianqle area, as well as
else."here, have already developed ettective COlllDlute Alterl'lative
Proqrams of' th.ir own. Examples include a compar.y that has
increased the number of people usinq commute alterr.ati~es fro~ 17
percent to 43 percent. However, aueh efforts can have a major
impact only if all ~ajor •• ployers 40 their individual parts.
In 19£1;5, a small salIIple survey of th4! Golden Triangle area
indicated that 17 percent of Golden Trianqle commuters used an
alternative mode of transportation (other than dr-ive alone) to
travel to 'Work. In 15187. th:a Golden Trianqle T&sk Force
identified, a.nd. the City Council concurred with, a goal that would
increase the use of alternative (transit, car/vanpools,
telecommuting, bicycling, and valkill9J transportation :modes to
35 percent by 199'.
In December 1gee, the ~Blitornia Clean Air Act was enacted, thereby
requirinq the implementation of -transportation control measures·
such as commute alternativ~& programs, In order to meet state and
federal air quality standards. In addition, the recent passage of
Proposition 111. raising lbe fuel tax, requires local qovernments
to create or designate a conqestion Manaq.aent Planning Agsncy to
implement such traffic reduction programs, in order to quality for
much of the new funding. Palo Alto has supported the formation of
such a Conqestion Manaqement Planning Ag:ency tor Santa Clara County
(CMR:290: 0).
PAR!ICIPATION 'IN GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Palo Alto bas consistently been a s~rong advocate of the need for
1nulti-j"<.l:;isdictional coopera.tion to a.ddress transportation needs
and issues. In 1986, Palo Alto joined the Golden Triangle Task
Force. which had its genesis in early efforts by the santa Clara
CQunty Kanufacturinq GroIJp. The purpose of t11e Golden Triangle
Task Force is to address. throU9b a lDulti-jurisdictional
cooperative effort, an appropriate balance among jobs, housinq.
land use, and transport infrastructure. The Golden Triangle Task
Force nOli includes the cities of Milpitas, Mountain View, Palo
Alto, San Jose. and Sunnyvale, as well .s the County of Santa
Clara. Former Council Member Larry IClein served as Palo Alto's
representative on the Golden Trianqle Ta&.k Ferce for several years.

since joining the Golden Triangle Task Force, Palo Al to has
contributed substantial statf and council memh~r tiMe to the
formation and Institutionalh:atlon ot ths Golden Triangle Task
Force, and to the development of the technical ana policy related
satter& t.hat it has come to embrace~ OVer the past several years I
Palo Alto has also contributed substantial funding, in the amount
of $288~OOO (through June 30, 1990}, in support of the Golden
Triangle Task Force and the Golden Trianqle Commuter Network. An
additional amount of $140,000 is included in the City's current FY
90-511 Budget far .. upport of these two aqencies. This is in
addition to the new full-tiae position, authorized by Co~~cil to
begin in FY 90-91, for a person to serve aa the co~ute coordinator
for City employees~
One of several a~eas in ~hich the C~lden Trianqle Task Force has
focused its attention and resources is the need and importance of
reducing the number of vehicle trips (increase vehicle occupancy).
particularly during the peak commute periods when traffic
conditions are qenerally most severe. Efforts to influence
people IS choices regarclinq transportation modes and to create
incentives that favor alternative transportation modes (carl
vanpools, public transit, wal~ing, bicycling, etc.) concentrate on
the demand tor. rather than the supply ot, traJ't9portation~ and have
come to be ref8rre~ to generically as Transportation Demand
Hanaqement (TDM)~
As a way to formalize a comaitment to TDM as one important means
by ~hich to help address area transportation needs, as well as to
develop a sense of uniformity and equity amonq different
organizations and withtn organizations with multiple work sites in
different jurisdictions, the Golden Triengle Task Force has
developed a model TOM ordinance. The intent is that each member
city and the county ~ill adopt, essentially, the same TDM
ordinance; thereby creating the same basic requirements for' TOM
proqratn development, il!'l~le.m.entation, monitoring, and reporting
throughout the member jurisdictions.
Furthermore, as a Eleans to facilitate implementation of a TDM
('lrdinance, as well as encourage its unitontl interpretation and
application, the Golden 'i"riangle Task Force has established the
Golden Triangle commuter Network council~ The COl':'tmut.er-Network
Council consists of elected officials from each of the member
cities and the COl.mtYJ as well as tour private sector members
representin9 employers and developers~ Mayor Cobb presently serves
as Palo Alto·s representative on the commuter Network Council~
The Commuter Network has tully trained professional staff ready to
provide a full range of services to assist employers in meeting the
requireJIents of a TDM ordinance. Such services incl:.lde commute
coordinator tra1ninq~ program assistance, co~ute survey
assistance, reporting assistance, and creating public/private
partnerships~ Attachment 2 provides a summary description of these

PROPOSEP ORlHNNlCE
It 1. Japortant to note that the TOM Model ordinance i. the result
of extensive and exhaustive efforts to develop a consensus among
the partiCipating cities, the county, and representatives of the
business coaaunity. OVer a period of year., nWlW!rOU5 informa.tional
.eetings, Yorkshope, and public .eetinqs bave been held to share
information, bear cor~erns, and gather ideas.
Much of the content of the TOIl Mode} Ordinance 10 the result cf
substantial debate, negotiation~ and compromise among elected
officials end business representatives from within the me!lb4!r
jurisdictions. Tbe intention of the Colden Triangle Task Force is
to have each ~r jurisdiction adopt the TOM Model Ordinance in
substantially the tOni of the aoctel ordinance.
While such efforts do not preclu4e th. need tor a full discussion
and possible changes, such actions should reflect a sensitivity to
the prece6inq efforts to develop a broad con~en.us, which this TDM
Model Ordinance represents.
The basic objective ot the TOM Model Ordinance is to establish a
mechanism ~~ereby:
Ca) All employers establish an effective TOM proqram~ ,
(b) Program requirements are unitorm and equitable within and
among the .eJllber jurisdictions,
{c) Monitoring and reportinq procedures are compatible,
{d) Employers hl!!lve 'lliax:i"lrua flexibility in det.ermining .... hat
TOK measura. best serve their individual needs and
interests, and
(e) Professional assistance and training is readily available
t'O any oployer to help establish and maintain an effective
TOIl program.
It i. the intention of the Golden Trianqle Task Force that all five
Deaber cities and the Cour~ty adopt the saMe ordinance,. the basic
featwres of yhich inclUde the following:
1. Introductory recital. that identify the participants, the
scope, and the general 90&1 ot the ordinance.

resolution of the Council.

s~ Failure to comply with the 1D.andatory provisions of the
ordinance (deaiqnatinq a aanager and callUlute coordinator and
5ubmitt!nq an initial Baseline Report and subsequent Annual
Reports) will result in an infraction. Further non
compliance can result in Cl .lad_a.nor offense after two or
more previous infractions within a three-year period.
The Palo Alto lIu-'1ioipal Codes (1.08.010) specifies the
penalty tor an infraction as, (1) a fine not exceeding: one,
hundred dollara for a first viol .. 'Cion, (2) a fine not
exceedinq two hundred dollars for a second viol~tion of the
same ordinance within one year, and {3) a fine net exceedinq

REI.\TION~WI'!'I! EXISTING UII PROGiW!S Al!P REOUIREMENTS
TOM proqraas by .mployers within Palo Alto is not a new-idea.
Durinq the past decade, veIl preeedinq tbe current Golden Triangle
efforts, a nU4lber of !::i4~Or eaployera established, strenqthened, and
institutionalized TDM pr~ra.. within their respective
organizations. Motivated by tactora such as economics,
environmental awareness, corporate responsibility and/or
encouragement anc:! requireJIents fro. the city of Palo Alto, a number
of TDM program& are already in place at several major employers
within Palo Alto.
orqanizations such as Varian, Alza, Xerox, Syntex, Hewlett-packard,
Ford Aerospace, Stanford UnIver8ity, Palg Alto Medical Foundation
and others have made notable efforts toward developing and
maintaining-effective TOM proqrus. While the nature of each
company I s proqr •• is tailored to .eet its specific c.haracteristics,
and the qoal s.. standards and measures vary somewhat due to the
evolutionary uncSeratandinq and d.evelopment of TOM programs~ the

basic concepts e.bodied in the TDH M04e1 ordinance are not
dissimilar to tbe TDM proqrams 51ready in place~
In addition~ the review and approval in 1989 of the Citywide Land
Use and Transportation Study included provision fo~ the eventual
imple'me!'ltation of: (a) a cityvlde !'IGolden Triangle type" TDM
ordinance and (b) a ~re rigorous TDM ordinance for ~he Stanford
Resea reh Pa rk.
As part of the review of the. TOM Model Ordinance, staff has.
considered the relationahip and effect of the TDM Kodel Ordinance
upon the existing TDM requirements that the City has i~posed upon
selective e~ployers d~ring the past sever.l years and has developed
the followinq strateqy reqardinq the disposition of such
requirements, subject to final approval of a TDM ordinance for Palo
Alto.
1. Existing, approved TOM requirelJenta for Varian,. Alza, Syntex
and Ford Aerospace will be superseded by Palo Alto's TOM
ordinance and will cease to be a requirement for these
organizations. One of the primary objectives of the Golden
Triangle effort has been to develop • sense or uniformity
aNi equity l!lmortg different empleri_ra, as "'ell as among
various facilities for the same employer, that l!'lay be
located in different jurisdictions.
2. Palo Alto's TOM orcUr.ance will not apply to Sta.nford
Univer~ity (i.e., that portion of the University outside of
Palo Alto's city limit). Rather, the BOre stringent
standard of achievement and reporting mechanisms included
as part of the County's approval ot the Santa Clara County
General Use Permit for Stanford University are more
appropriate and will remain in effect for Stanford
University~
) .. The ratil,)nale for a TDM ordinance for-the Stanford Research
Park that is more rigorous L~an the proposed citywid~ TOM
ordinance no longer exists. At the ti~e of the revie~ of
the Citywide Land 0 •• and Tran.portation Study.. the then
current draft of the Golden Triangle TDM Model Ordinance
specified that it was to be applicable only to ne~
development. and not to existing d.velop~ent. The general
intention of the more r190ro~s TOM ordinance for the
Stanford Research Park was to make it applicable to all (new
and existing] devel~ent. Subsequent drafts of the Golden
Trii!lnqle TOM Model Ordinance evolved to include
applicability to both new and exiating development. This
yas a .ajor strengthening of the ordinance,. in terms of its
potenti~l overall effectiveness, and ne9ated the need for
a separate more rigorous ordinance that would be &pplicable
only to the Stanford Research Park. Therefore, the TOM
Model ordinance. vill be applicable throughout the entin::
city, including the Stanford Research Park.

It should be noted that, while the TOM Model Ordinance specifies
cErtain requirements regarding 90515, .tafting, monltor-inq and
nporti.nq, there ia nothing that preclud~8 an employer, tor
whatever reasona might drive such a commitaent, from achievinq ~~e
full TDK potential consistent with their respective interests and
commitment.
E UECT ON PALO ALTO
The effects of the "tOt( Medel Ordinance on Palo Alto include the
tollovinq:
1 .. An existirlC) diverse set of TOM require.ants, for oil small
number of mejor employers in Palo Alto, will be replaced
with II. set of unifor.! and equitable TDM requirements for all
employer& (with l~O or more employees) ir. Palo Alto.
2. TDM require.ants for employers in Palo Alto vill :t:.e the same
as tho.. for employer. in each of the Golden Trianqle Task
Force aeaber juriBdiction ••
3. The City of Palo Alto, as a .ajor employ.r (900+ employee5
at multiple work sites), will tie required to develop an
effective in-house TDK pr-oqt'"&lI under the .anageraent and
administration of d.signated responsible staff.
Responsibility for the TDK proqrUl has already been assigned
to the Depart:aent of H\Dian Resources, and Council has
already authoril~d one new rull-tlae position for a commute
coordinator.
4. Most of the responsibl11t)'-of working with e.ployers to help
develop, monlter and report on their TDM programs vill fall
to t..~e statf ot the Golden Trianqle commuter Network,.
serving as the agent for the city.
s. The City ot Palo Alto will retaIn a responsibility to
provide appropriate support. to the Gold.n Trianqle commu.ter
Network. While it is the intention ot the Golden Triangle
Task Force to eventually incorporate the Commuter Network
into the countywide congestion Manaqement Pl~nnlnq Agency,
it ia likely to be oome time betore that bappens, and the
resulting consequence. in teras of financial support from
Palo Alto are uncertain at thi. tta ••
