RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SAN MATEO COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN
RESOLVED, by the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME,
WHEREAS, traffic volumes and congestion in San Mateo County
and the surrounding region have increased appreciably in recent
years; and
WHEREAS, increased employment growth in the County and
surrounding region has occurred in recent years and is expected
to continue, contributing to growing traffic congestion; and
WHEREAS, traffic congestion is a regional problem which
requires coordinated and concerted actions by local governments,
employers, SamTrans, and Caltrans; and

increasing the efficiency of the transportation system through
such techniques as ridesharing, increased use of public transit,
flexible work schedules; and
WHEREAS, on June 7, 1988, the citizens of San Mateo County
approved a ballot measure, known as Measure A, which raised the
sales tax in San Mateo County primarily for highway and transit
improvements. Measure A also requires the preparation of a
Countywide Transportation System Management (TSM) Plan to reduce
congestion through efficient management of the existing
transportation system; and
WHEREAS, on May 3, 1990, the San Mateo County Transportation
Authority adopted the San Mateo County Transportation System
Management (TSM) Plan which identifies measures that would be
effective in reducing peak hour traffic congestion and requires
cities to adopt a TSM ordinance; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Measure A, the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority transmitted the plan to each of the
cities in San Mateo County for approval before June 30, 1990.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the City Council
