A. A forty-five percent (45%) reduction in peak period employee commute trips, staged as follows: 1. at the time of an employer's first annual report, unless the employer has been in business in Pleasanton for less than four months, a fifteen percent (15%) reduction; 2. at the time of the second annual report, a twenty- five percent (25%) reduction; 3. at the time of the third annual report, a thirty-five percent (35%) reduction; 4. at the time of the fourth annual report, a forty-five percent (45%) reduction; and 5. an employer that is implementing a trip reduction program within the City at the time of adoption of this ordinance shall not revert to the first year's goal, but shall continue working toward its current goal. B. The peak hour vehicle reduction is calculated using the following method. 1. Determine how many employees arrive/depart outside the peak period (i.e., before 7:30 a.m. and after 8:30 a.m., and before 4:30 p.m. and after 5:30 p.m.). Then, find the daily average by dividing by 5. Each off-peak trip is worth 1/2 point, therefore, multiply by .5. 2. Determine the number oE employees who arrive/depart during the peak period (i.e., between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., and between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.) who use transit, walk, or bike. Then, find the daily average by dividing by 5. Each trip is worth 1/2 point, therefore, multiply by .5. 3. Determine the number of employees who arrive during the peak period (i.e., between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., and between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.) who use carpools or vanpools. Divide that number by 2 to get the average between the a.m. and p.m. peaks. Then, find the daily average by dividing by 5. Divide by 2.27 (average vehicle occupancy for the Tri-Valley area). Subtract this number from the daily average. 4. Peak hour vehicle reduction shall be calculated by adding (1), (2), and (3), then dividing as follows. If less than 60% of the survey forms are returned, 16
