4EDAW INC WORK PROGRAM TRANSIT*ORIENTED SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE HACIENDA BUSINESS PARK development entitlements. This determination represents an essential first step, as it will define the upper limit of vehicle trip generation for a Specific Plan project to be considered "trip neutral" by the City of Pleasanton. Review available data on vehicular trip generation rates applicable to Hacienda Business Park TOD, including trip generation studies by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). A key reference will be the Trip Generation Handbook: An ITE Recommended Practice (2001). This will be used to develop a baseline level of trip generation for the project; this baseline is expected to be somewhat lower than the unmodified single-use rates found in the 1TE Trip Generation manual. Review available data collected by Fehr & Peers and others on the effects of the 4Ds: density, diversity (mixed use) and design and proximity to regional destinations. Translate these 4D effects into modifications to the base trip generation rates. Work with other members of the team, especially Ellen Greenberg, to incorporate evidence from Case studies in other areas of the country regarding trip generation information applicable to current and planned HBP land uses. Review the U.S. Census and other available sources (such as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission regarding current use of travel modes by Hacienda employees and residents. Information on where Hacienda employees live and where Hacienda resident work will also be sought. Work with the City of Pleasanton, the Hacienda Owners Association and other consultants to determine what programmatic transportation demand measures should be assumed as part of the Specific Plan program (e.g. shuttles, parking controls, ridesharing incentives and similar measures that are independent of the built environment). Meet with the City to and HBP to discuss the results of this analysis regarding trip internalization, mode shifts, and other factors modifying standard trip generation rates for key HBP uses (Office, Residential and Retail). Synthesize the information gathered in Tasks 2 - 7 above into vehicle trip generation rates for the three major uses at HBP. Rates will be established for three time frames: daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour. if any. If significant and devise a Phase I B action plan of ground-level traffic counts and surveys of employees, residents and retail customers at HBP. Phase I B: Fehr & Peers and JD Franz Associates will conduct original research into observed and reported HBP employees' and residents' travel behavior, as well as their response to potential alternative transportation improvements. Identify up to six sites (e.g., two sites each representing the three major existing and planned uses with HBP -- Office, Residential and Retail). Conducting full traffic counts (all travel modes) at the six locations using ITE methodology. Additional sites can be counted for approximately $1,000 - 1,500 per location. Analyze the site traffic counts to revise vehicle trip generation rates for the three major uses at HBP. Rates will be established for three time frames: daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour. JD Franz Research, Inc will conduct a survey to gather statistically valid information on travel behavior deemed to be important but missing at the end of Phase IA. This could include questions regarding the efficacy of individual alternative transportation services that may be implemented in conjunction with the HBP TOD plan, e.g. transit options (feeder buses/shuttles), walkway and bikeway improvements, and parking controls/pricing. The Phase lB scope of work also includes up to three additional meetings with City and HBP staff and other consultants to describe the findings of this phase. Phase I includes preparation of a memorandum summarizing our analysis approach and results. The
