TransportationCommission | 2007-02-28 | 2 | 4. COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS a. Multimodal Circulation Plan b. Pedestrian Plan c. TSM/TDM Plan Chair Knox White encouraged people to sign CalPIRG's online petition opposing the budget cuts by Governor Schwarzenegger, which would cut $1.1 billion from the Public Transit account. 5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS There were none. Staff Khan inquired whether the Commissioners would be available for a joint meeting with City Council on March 27, 2007. He understood that Commissioner Schatmeier was available, as was Chair Knox White and Commissioners Krueger and MacFarland. He added that Commissioners Knoth was not available, and that he had not heard from Commissioner Ratto. Commissioner Subramaniam indicated he may be able to attend. The meeting would be held in the evening. 6B. Alameda Landing TDM Goals and Program Development - Second Presentation Outcome: Review and recommend finalization of performance goals, the methodology by which the goals will be evaluated, monitoring guidelines, and a process Staff Bergman summarized the staff report, and noted that this discussion item would return as an action item in March, and would go to the Planning Board in April. John Atkinson, consultant to Catellus on this project, complimented City staff on its expertise. He believed the City had a unique opportunity to forge a sustainable TDM program. He noted that the program goals would be to reduce vehicle trips and congestion. Mr. Atkinson stated that the emphasis of the program would be reducing peak commute times through the tubes and into the project area. Later the program would have broader goals. He believed that the TDM measures should be judged on cost effectiveness. He stated that the intent of the project is for an Alameda Landing Transportation Management Association to be established to serve the project area and to ultimately merge into a future West End TMA. He stated that Catellus agreed wholeheartedly that the implementation of an EcoPass program through AC Transit would be beneficial for the project. He stated that the Census data for the rest of Alameda were not directly applicable to this project. Mr. Atkinson noted that there was a concern about bike capabilities on the shuttle, and that some people had asked about using a trailer. He noted that none of the operators he contacted were not comfortable with that concept for safety reasons. He noted that bike racks could be mounted on the front and the back of the shuttle, which yielded a capacity of six per loop, or approximately 36 per day.
