DEPT._R /AG
CITY MGR,��----
RECi3�if�liENDID ACTION;
City Council endorse the concept of a Peak -Hour Traffic Management Program
(PTMP) and direct staff to further explore the development of a Northern County
Regional approach to a PTMP.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City of San Marcos has initiated a Peak -Hour Traffic Management Program.
Through the North County Mayor's Council other cities have been encouraged
to develop similar programs with the overall goal being to reduce peak -hour
vehicular trips within the area. Peak -hour Traffic Management Programs are
not an alternative to the construction of badly needed highway projects, but
rather a method to reduce congestion during peak -hours. A PTMP, as proposed,
may become the needed effort for the San Diego Region to meet and maintain
Federal Air Quality Standards.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Minimal at this time. The development and implementation of a Peak -Hour Traffic
Management Program would involve staff costs of program development and the
time of a City coordinator.

PEAK -HOUR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (PTMP)
The City of San Marcos presented its Peak -Hour Traffic Management
Program to the North County Mayor's Council on March 7, 1987. The
goal of a PTMP is to reduce peak -hour traffic on community streets and
highways through a combination of car and van pools, transit programs,
h staggered work hours, flex time and alternate work week programs.
A PTMP is in no way a substitution for a community's critically needed
street and highway construction program. Peak -hour traffic will continue
to get worse even with a PTMP. However, it can help reduce congestion
during peak -hours and can minimize delays during the constuction of
needed street projects.
During the Olympics in Los Angeles, a PTMP minimized congestion and
the City of Pleasanton in Northern California has achieved a 32% reduc-
tion in peak -hour trips over a three-year period.
San Marcos has patterned its PTMP after that of Pleasanton and through
the North County Mayor's Council is encouraging other communities to
develop similar programs. In order for a PTMP to be most effective
a regional North County effort would be a logical next step.
Another good reason to pursue a PTMP is that as part of the overall
Federal Air Quality Act, SANDAG and the Air Pollution Control District
1 have developed tactics to meet air quality standards. This December
t 31 is the deadline for meeting these standards. Such programs as Com-
muter Computer, bicycling to work and transit programs have been dev-
eloped with some success. However, if the San Diego Region does not
j meet the Air Quality Standards on two days per year, it means non -
attainment of the air standards. Local and sub -regional directed PTMPs
seem to have a higher success rate than the existing programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council endorse the concept of a PTMP and direct staff to
further explore developing a North County regional coordinator through
SANDAG, as well as an appropriate local approach, using the Chamber
of Commerce Transportation Committee as a resource and other vital
participants, such as North County Transit District, Cal Trans and
Supervisor McDonald's office.

NORTH COUNTY MAYOR'S COUNCIL
Welcome to the first (of many more to come) North County Mayor's Council
meeting. These meetings are -intended to bring us together to present and
discuss ideas and common interests; as well as working on mutual solutions
wherever possible and practical.
For this very first meeting, Supervisors MacDonald and Golding have
requested a presentation of San Marcos' plan for Peak -Hour Traffic Management: -
vR$`- Supervisor MacDonald; when first advised of this plan; recognized the
'potential regional benefits of such a program to reduce traffic congestion on .
North County streets: The San Marcos plan is closely modelled after other
programs which have been highly successful and beneficial to residents and
r .,L •
F employers alike:
In fact; we believe that this plan can become a cooperative venture
'throughout North County in reducing a common nemesis -- traffic congestion:
Such a cooperative venture could assist each of us in reducing congestion
'-'while continuing our efforts to: widen and build local roads; deal with
-financing for widening Highway 78; improve mass transit systems (including
•..,:light rail as well as other transportation alternatives):
Working together; we can maintain our commitment(s) to keeping our
communities as attractive, pleasant places to 'live; work, visit and do
business.

WHAT IS PEAK -HOUR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT?
Peak -Hour Traffic Management is a rapidly emerging concept in reducing
traffic congestion within the community during the rush hour traffic. The
objective is to reduce vehicular trips during peak hour traffic periods. By
incorporating a transportation system program into the City; both the City;
and its employers and cornplexes,pn effectively work together towards reaching
this objective:
The Peak -hour Traffic Management program is designed to fit the
individual needs of a particular community through a combination of; but not
limited to; promotion and marketing of carpools; vanpools; bicycles; transit
related programs; and alternative work hour programs: All these actions; in
conjunction with street building and widening and providing mass transit
facilities; are designed to improve a local transportation system by expanding
--traffic capacity; increasing traffic flow; and reducing congestion on the
-community's surface streets:
The most important factor for effective implementation of a Peak -Hour
Traffic Management Program is the contribution and participation of
` T
i
1 employers: Employers are encouraged (it is the law) to provide assistance
with: setting up carpools and vanpools for employees; offering priority
treatment for public transit users; scheduling deliveries during non -peak
hours; offering flex -time; modified work weeks; off-peak time schedules.
Other transportation alternatives are designed and promoted encouraging
employees to avoid peak hour traffic periods. With the assistance of a City
or Regional Transportation Coordinator; employers are responsible, both
individually and collectively; for setting up and running overall programs of
reducing peak hour traffic based on the authority and power of local law.

Businesspark which; over the next decade; is expected to contain
approximately 11 million •square feet of commercial, research;
development and office uses and employ 3;000 people: Between
1985 and 2000; Pleasanton's population is expected to increase -by
65%: Employment- opportunities are projected to increase by
173%; Given the magnitude of this expected growth, Pleasanton
realized in the early 1980's that a long -terra transportation man-
agement s irategn cs nee{.led; In 1984; the enactment of the Trans-
portation System i•ianagement (Tsm) ordinance; called for employ-
ers; emp'•oy.ment co;;plexes and the City to work together toward
reducing vehicle trips during peak hour periods:
The key to. the Pleasanton ordinance is a TSM task force: The
task force -is made up of -representatives from employers that have
more than 100 emmployees on any single shi►t: The responsibil-
sties of the task force are; to not oniy to designate their .rep--:-*
resentative from each business complex or from each specific con -
pony or business; to provide the authority to act on the require-
ments and mandates in the TSM ordinance and to report directly to
the City Council: Additionally, the task force made' up of a rep-
r resentative from each enployer who has more than 100 employees,
the dovinto,rn merchants association, and representative from the
transit authority, and any other ouencies, The City provides a
transportation coordinator as a member of the tasl: force.' The

Tile City of Pleasanton's TSMI ordincnce specifies as a target' a
457. trip reduction in a 4 year phased time frame; As of December
(1986; the Cit had achieved a two year reduction of 387'in the
� volume of vehicle trips itithin theirc '_-� . omTunity; A 25%;reduction'
was reported in , the past reporting period by the task force

anticipates that the City is on schedule to its ultimate target
of a 45% trip reduction, although they believe there may be some'-
difficulties in achieving that goal unless newer incentives are
developed, '
The TSM prnrarr. 'being employed by Pleasanton has not altered the
City's committment to road improvements or getting new develop-
ments to "pay their own way",
