Attached is a copy of the City's proposed TSM Program for FY 1985-86. Marketing as well as new facilities are important aspects of the program which is designed to heighten awareness of transportation opportunities and present the transportation program as an active, enjoyable benefit for the City employees. Included this year will be a "Commuter of the Month" program with cash prizes and a chance to win the grand prize of a weekend vacation at a bed-and-breakfast inn. Early in the Spring there will be a "Bicycle/Walk To Work Day" which will be an event to kick-off the weekly "Casual Day" for employees. Reserved covered parking will be provided to City Hall employees who register a car or vanpo01 with the City Coordinator. The bicycle racks will also be included in the covered preferential parking area, thereby adding another incentive for the 25 City Hall employees who live within 5 miles of work. The eight covered stalls will be used by City vehicles until enough car/vanpools are registered. Staff also intends to continue working closely with the Livermore/Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) to ensure coordination and to help promote transit as a very viable commute mode. _A.free LAVTA transit pass will be given to each City employee as soon as the vehicles are operating to introduce them to the service. More detailed descriptions of the TSM measures and initial implementation schedule are attached to the TSM Program for your Council's consideration. Citywide TSM Activities The City Transportation Coordinator must annually survey all businesses in town, review TSM programs submitted by large employers and complexes, evaluate annual reports, determine that information programs are being implemented and maintained and participate on the Transportation Task Force. This requires a substantial commitment in time and resources to ensure it is an ongoing process. Some of the resources which will be developed under the TSM Program for City employees will be shared with employers required to implement information programs. "Seasonal" transportation posters, "Holiday" flyers and bicycle routes maps will be distributed for use by all employers with 10 or more employees on the largest shift. Also, a new brochure will be developed on transportation alternatives for new employees and distributed in the Spring to the same employers. The Transportation task Force has become a dynamic participant in the citywide TSM process. They have written letters to ensure compliance and developed reports to assist employers in complying with the ordinance requirements. Because of their visibility in the community and because the task Force shares some of the responsibility for implementation, monitoring and enforcement, it Page 2 SR85:550
