1 Introduction
This report presents the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program for the proposed Burlingame
Point Office campus development located at 300-333 Airport Boulevard in Burlingame, California. The office
will be occupied by single tenant, Facebook. This report identifies TDM measures designed to provide a
reduction in peak hour trips of at least 10 percent over comparable office campuses in San Mateo County.
This trip reduction is consistent with the site's reduced parking supply that is 10 percent below city code
requirements, from 2,547 required stalls to 2,292 stalls.
The TDM Program satisfies the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG)
requirement to mitigate all new peak -hour trips based on the C/CAG trip credit guidelines.' Peak period
includes 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and peak hour is defined as the hour in which the
heaviest daily traffic volume occurs, generally during morning and afternoon commute times. C/CAG
guidelines require developments projected to generate 100 or more net new peak hour trips to implement
TDM measures that have the capacity to mitigate all new peak hour trips based on C/CAG programmatic trip
credits. The project would generate an estimated 965 AM peak hour trips and 945 PM peak hour trips.' The
C/CAG guidelines provide a list of acceptable TDM measures and the equivalent number of trips that will be
credited for each measure. The TDM program, described in this report, follows and expands upon the
framework of these guidelines.
This TDM Program provides a set of strategies, measures, and incentives to encourage future employees of
Burlingame Point to walk, bicycle, ride public transportation, carpool, or use any other alternatives instead of
driving alone when traveling to and from work. In order to support that goal, this plan presents a range of
proven strategies and measures used across the Bay Area under a flexible implementation plan that can meet
the needs of the future tenants of Burlingame Point. This report represents an update of the TDM plan created
in 2011 for the project site and builds upon the conditions of approva► from August 28, 2018.

1.1 Project Description
The project site is located at 300-333 Airport Boulevard in the city of Burlingame, California, as shown in
Figure 1. The site is situated in the Anza area of Burlingame, which is in the northeast portion of the City north
of US-101. Existing land uses in the surrounding area are primarily offices, hotels, airport parking, and parks.
The project site is accessible via the following existing transportation facilities and services:
• Motor vehicle access through nearby interchanges of US-101 at Anza Avenue, Broadway, and
Peninsula Avenue.
• Transit access through nearby rail transit stations: the site is approximately two miles from the
Burlingame Caltrain Station, 1.8 miles from the Broadway Station (which currently lacks weekday
service), and 3.3 miles from the Millbrae Intermodal Transit Center (with both BART and Caltrain
stations). Shuttles are available to carry employees between the Millbrae Station and an existing
transit stop located about 0.2 miles west of the project site.
• Bicycle access through designated bicycle routes and lanes, including Airport Boulevard, Peninsula
Avenue, Broadway, and the San Francisco Bay Trail.

areas, including the new Bay Trail segment, will lie restored and provide public access and a rehabilitated
shoreline protection structure. The Bay Trail, providing dedicated pedestrian and bicycle access, will run along
the east and west side of the project site. Airport Boulevard through the campus will be a bicycle route. An
illustrative site plan of the proposed project is shown in Figure 2. The project will be constructed in phases.
The project will also feature enhancements to the transportation services and infrastructure available on site.
These enhancements are detailed in this TDM Program.

2 Transportation Context
This chapter describes the existing non -automotive transportation system in the project vicinity, including the
transit services and facilities, bicycle facilities, and pedestrian facilities.
2.1 Transit Service
The existing transit facilities and services near the project site are shown in Figure 3 and described in detail
below.
Rail Service
Caltrain and BART provide rail passenger services to regional destinations such as San Francisco, Oakland,
and San Jose.
Caltrain currently runs up to five trains per hour in each direction during peak commute
Carr periods (approximately 6:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 7:00 PM). Beginning in 2022,
Caltrain will increase service to six trains per hour in each direction upon electrifying
service. During off-peak periods, service is less frequent as trains only run about once
an hour. The project site approximately two miles to the north of the Burlingame
Station, which is located at Howard Avenue and California Drive. Only some trains provide service at
Burlingame: during peak commute periods, two trains per hour stop at the station. Additionally, Broadway
Station is located approximately 1.8 miles to the west of the project site and the Millbrae Station (within the
Millbrae Intermodal Transit Center) is 3.3 miles to the northwest. Broadway Station only has service on the
weekend, whereas Millbrae Station is served by both limited stop and express trains during peak commute
hours. As Caltrain implements service improvements in 2022 and onwards, weekday service will be re-
instated at Broadway Station and all three stations are expected to see increased service.
Commuters at the Millbrae
Station may use the
Burlingame Bayside Area
Shuttle to access the Project
site (discussed further
below). This shuttle provides
service during weekday
commute hours between
Millbrae Station and a transit
stop located approximately
0.2 miles from the north side
of the project site. There are
no shuttles connecting
Burlingame Station to the
project site.
FEHRtPEERS
Caltrain will operate an electrified fleet beginning in 2022, enabling faster and
more frequent service.
B A R T Burlingame employees may also utilize Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), a regional, rail
rapid transit service connecting the Peninsula with San Francisco and the East Bay. The
A nearest BART station is located at Millbrae. During the AM and PM commute periods
(6:00 to 9:00 AM, 4:00 to 7:00 PM) as well as during off-peak periods, BART operates
four trains per hour through Millbrae Station. As noted, the Burlingame Bayside Area
Shuttle is available to connect employees from Millbrae station and to the project site during commute hours.
Bus Service
San Mateo Transit District, or SamTrans, provides local and regional bus service
wmft throughout San Mateo County as well as portions of San Francisco and Palo Alto.
SamTrans does not provide direct service to the project site. The closest SamTrans
stop to the project site is located at Peninsula Avenue and Delaware Street, about a 1.5
mile walk from the project site across US-101. This stop is served by Route 292, which
connects the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo to the Transbay Terminal in
downtown San Francisco and runs along California Drive in Burlingame. Buses run approximately every 30
minutes.
Shuttle ,Service
The Burlingame Bayside Area Shuttle,
managed by the Peninsula Traffic
Congestion Relief Alliance (also known
as Commute.org), provides service
between the Millbrae Station and office
buildings in the Burlingame Bayside
area during morning and evening
commute hours. Shuttles operate
approximately once every 20 minutes
between 7:00 to 9:30 AM and 4:00 to
6:30 PM. The closest shuttle stop is
currently located at the intersection of
Airport Boulevard and Bay View Place,
approximately 0.2 miles from the
northern edge of the project site. This
shuttle service is free to riders.
The Burlingame Bayside Area Shuttle provides connections between Millbrae
Station and the Burlingame Bayside Area.

Bicycles may access the project site via Airport Boulevard, which alternates between a Class II lane and a
Class III bicycle routes. To the east of the project site, Airport Boulevard connects to a Class II bicycle lane
on Peninsula Avenue, which provides further connections to the bicycle network within the City of Burlingame
south of US-101. To the west, Airport Boulevard connects to Class II bicycle lanes on Broadway. Bicyclists
may also cross the US-101 via a bicycle bridge adjacent to Broadway. Additionally, the San Francisco Bay
Trail, a planned 400-mile system of trails encircling the San Francisco Bay, provides Class I bicycle facilities
to the north, east, and west of the project site.

3 Transportation Demand Management Program
The Burlingame Point TDM Program includes shuttle service to provide first/last mile connections to BART
and Caltrain, transit subsidies, on -site amenities such as food services, secure bicycle parking, and other
incentives and programs to promote alternatives to driving alone and to reduce the number of off -site trips in
single occupancy vehicles. Table 1 summarizes the TDM measures, which are described in detail below.
Measures 1 to 11 are TDM measures identified by C/CAG, whereas Measures 12 to 18 provide additional
support for travel by alternative modes. Appendix A presents a summary of the proposed general locations
for the site design features affiliated with the TDM program. Final locations for TDM measures will be
determined with City staff in coordination with the Developer and office tenant.

4 Compliance with Guidelines and Trip Reduction Evaluation
This section documents the proposed TDM Program's compliance and trip reduction evaluation with respect
to:
1. WAG requirement to mitigate all new peak -hour trips based on the C/CAG trip credit guidelines
2. Ten percent reduction in peak -hour trips required to justify the reduced parking ratio
4.1 C/CAG Requirements
C/CAG Guidelines require the Burlingame Point TDM Program to have the capacity to reduce the demand for
new peak hour trips. According to WAG Guidelines, the amount of "new" peak hour trips' is calculated based
on standard rates developed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).4 Applying ITE rates, the
proposed project is estimated to generate 965 new AM peak hour trips and 945 new PM peak hour trips.5 The
AM peak hour would occur between 7 AM and 9 AM and the PM peak hour would occur between 4 PM and 6
PM.
Measures 1 through 11 are applicable for C/CAG trip credits. According to C/CAG trip credits, the Burlingame
Point TDM Program will have the capacity to reduce the demand for peak hour trips by 1,469 trips, as shown
in Table 2. This exceeds the maximum number of AM or PM peak hour trips calculated using ITE estimates
(965 and 945 trips, respectively). The Burlingame Point TDM Program therefore exceeds C/CAG requirements.

4.2 Trip Reduction Evaluation
The project's TDM target is a ten percent reduction in peak -hour trips. This target stems from the project's 10
percent reduction in the minimum parking requirement (from 2,547 required stalls to 2,292 stalls). Based on
the analysis described below, the project exceeds that goal, reaching a 31 percent reduction in peak -hour
trips.
Trip reduction effects were estimated using methods from the Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Measures,' a report released by the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA). The
CAPCOA report provides methods for quantifying vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and vehicle trip (VT) reduction
for a list of mitigation measures. The CAPCOA measures were screened on the basis of the feasibility of
quantifying the reductions, the availability of robust and meaningful data upon which to base the
quantification, and whether the measures would result in appreciable reductions. The report represents the

Mitigation Measures, California Air Pollution Control Officers Association. August, 2010.

state of practice in quantifying effectiveness of TDM strategies. It has been adopted into CaIEEMod, a
statewide land use emissions model developed in collaboration with the air districts of California, and is
recommended for use in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation by the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District.

Note:
1. The CAPCOA Report uses a 1 to 1 conversion from VMT to vehicle trips. The report assumes that all vehicle trips will average
out to typical trip length. Thus, the report assumes that a percentage reduction in vehicle trips will equal the same percentage
reduction in vehicle miles traveled. This assumption was utilized in this table's calculations to report final % vehicle trip
reduction.

4.3 Conclusion
The project's TDM Program is expected to meet requirements by C/CAG and the City of Burlingame. The
project receives 1,469 C/CAG trip credits, exceeding the required 965 credits. Additionally, the TDM measures
could reach a drive alone reduction of 31 percent, greater than the 10 percent target reduction required to
obtain a parking minimum reduction.
The project will engage in ongoing monitoring to ensure it meets its goal. As a part of the TDM program, two
surveys will be developed and administered every year to examine TDM program participation and commute
mode share. Alternative mode use changes will be tracked with the employee survey and compared to prior
years' results. If results of the survey reveal that the project is not meeting its drive alone target, TDM

to the Community Development Department at the City of Burlingame for its records.
