Title
Recommendation to Accept the Annual Report on the Alameda Landing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program and Approve City Staff Recommendations for Program Improvements. (Transportation 91802)
Body
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: David L. Rudat, Interim City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City staff is requesting City Council accept the Alameda Landing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program report for 2016 and 2017 and approve recommendations for program improvements. The Alameda Landing Transportation Management Association (TMA) has met the substantive components of the Alameda Landing TDM Program, which primarily consists of a ground shuttle between Alameda Landing and downtown Oakland/BART. Alameda Landing residents and employees support public transit and shuttle programs and have shown a willingness to change commute modes with new or expanded transit services. In 2017, monthly shuttle boardings averaged almost 2,000 in Alameda Landing and AC Transit's Line 96 has over 1,000 monthly boardings in Alameda Landing. Additionally, staff recommends improvements for the upcoming year: (1) the Alameda Landing TMA join the citywide Alameda TMA to ensure that more of the TDM fees are used for transportation services rather than administration and services and programs can be coordinated more effectively across the City; and (2) the Alameda Landing TMA form a partnership with AC Transit to provide free bus passes to Alameda Landing residents and employees instead of the ground shuttle so as to benefit the entire west end.
