Ou/— plomio /KHExistingConditions.ndf Sustainable Transportation at Stanford University: The Role of TDM at htti): / /www.aashe.org/ resources /conference /sustainable- Conference fear: AASHE 2010 Stanford has achieved various transportation related sustainability milestones in 2010 through its Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program. This year, the university estimates an employee drive alone rate of 48 %, dropped from 72 percent in 2002. Additionally, the university has achieved up to an 18 percent reduction in peak hour commute traffic, a 14 percent reduction in the number of commuter parking permits sold, and a 120 percent increase �3 in the number of commuters committing not to drive alone to work. All efforts have contributed to a reduction of the university's auto - commute related emissions down to 1990 levels. This presentation provides an overview of the comprehensive Stanford University TDM program that led to these achievements. The program is an example of how a university, or other employer, can offer internal and external programs to create a wide variety of alternative transportation options and associated incentives to its commuting population that can have a significant impact on commute mode splits and the organization's carbon footprint. The overview will include the various aspects of the university's TDM program, covering program elements that encourage the use of alternative transportation, marketing efforts, increased land use opportunities through reduced parking demand, and metrics upon which program success is measured. The presentation will cover TDM's role in the compliance with California's emission reduction requirements, with an overview of Stanford's initial efforts to quantify carbon emissions from air travel.

The national program was developed to improve traffic flow and air quality by encouraging U.S. companies to offer employees alternatives to driving to work alone. Approximately 3,000 Stanford employees participate in the university's alternative transportation program, reducing the number of cars driven to and from campus by about 2,500, said Brodie Hamilton, university parking and transportation manager. Components of the alternative transportation program include carpools and vanpools, "Rideshare" matching, commute planning, cash rewards for not commuting in a single- occupancy vehicle (Clean Air Cash), the Guaranteed Ride Home program, pre- tax commuter checks and transit pass sales, a formal bicycle program, parking management and the Marguerite shuttle system. Stanford has one of the most comprehensive employer- sponsored alternative transportation programs in the nation, said Hamilton. hU 5b THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK From: John Shepardson <shepardsonlaw @me.com> Sent: Friday, October 03, 2014 9:23 AM To: Steven Leonardis; Council; Greg Larson Subject: Fwd: Biking Please include in packet for Complete Streets. John:) LESSONS FROM THE GREENLANES: Evaluating Protected Bike Lanes in the U.S. Quotingfrom http://www.peopleforbikes.ork/blozlentrv/ the - first - maior- academic - study -of- protected -bike- lanes-in- the -u.s. -is -out It's a sign of how new the modern protected bike lane is to the United States that we have known very little about them, scientifically speaking. Until now. Most academic studies of modern protected lanes have relied on data from countries where culture, land use, street design and social behavior are dramatically different (the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany) or from Canada, which has led the North American protected lane revolution. Three widely noticed Canadian studies, led by Harvard's Ann Lusk, the University of British Columbia's Kay Teschke and Ryerson University's Anne Harris, focused mostly on safety. And though all three concluded that protected bike lanes greatly improve bike safety (28 percent fewer injuries per mile compared to comparable streets with no bike infrastructure using Lusk's methodology, 90 percent fewer using Teschke's; in Harris's study, protected lanes reduced intersection risk by about 75 percent), they've drawn some thoughtful criticism for underexamining the importance of intersections, where most bike - related conflicts arise. Today, Portland State University's National Institute of Transportation and Communities released itsvoluminous findings from a wide - ranging study of protected bike lane intersections in five U.S. cities. It's based on 204 hours of video footage that captured the movement patterns of 16,000 people on bicycles and 20,000 turning cars; on 2,301 surveys with people who live near the projects; and on 1,111 surveys of people using the protected lanes. "This has never been done on this scale — having five cities and a number of different sites being done at the same time," NITC spokesman Justin Carinci said in an interview Monday. "The number of hours of video review is unprecedented. But the perceptions piece is really the most definitive of it: This is a big enough sample that we could say for each of the (projects), people feel safe riding them. People say we should have more of them." VZ _,�- /� The new study was co- funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Summit Foundation and PeopleForBikes. The team was led by PSU's Christopher Monsere, Jennifer Dill, Kelly Clifton and Nathan McNeil. You can download the whole report immediately, but if you want the Cliffs Notes, we'll be digging into this huge study here on the Green Lane Project blog one angle at a time, all this week: • Tuesday: How protected lanes affect ridership • Wednesday: Protected bike lanes and intersection safety • Thursday: What protected lanes can't do Friday: Finally, scientific evidence that changes to auto parking make people crazy Stay tuned - for those of us who see the potential for bikes to improve cities, the findings are exciting and the notes of caution are useful. We'll be here all week. The Green Lane Project is a PeopleForBikes program that Helps U.S. cities build better bike lanes to create low- stress streets. Quotingfrom http:// www. peopleforbikes. orjz/ bloQ /entryleverywhere- they-- a,2pear protected- bike - lanes -seem- to- attract - riders Second in a series. The data has been trickling in for years in PowerPoint slides and stray tweets: on one street after another, even in the bike - skeptical United States, adding a physical barrier between bikes and cars leads to a spike in bike traffic. Now, the first multi -city academic study of U.S. protected bike lanes has dropped, and a series of anecdotes have formed a very clear trend line: when protected bike lanes are added to a street, bike traffic rises — by an average of 75 percent in their first year alone, for the eight projects studied. The bike spike showed up at every single facility measured, even those that previously had conventional painted bike lanes.

And, perhaps more significantly, 87 percent of drivers now slow down compared with 71 percent before. Since San Francisco installed green lanes on Fell Street, there has been a 40 percent reduction in the number of cars that block the bike lane as they try to enter the Arco gas station at Divisadero Street, according to a city traffic study.

The bike lane is marked with white lanes and letters. The next picture has green paint added for the bike lane. The green paint dramatically increases the awareness of the bike lane, which promotes biking, safety for bikers, reduces greenhouse gases from reduced car use, sends a powerful message about sustainability, matches our green bowl mountains, and encourages physical exercise, which promotes mental well- being. Something more: If we really want to promote safe biking, we could add reflectors on each side of bike lanes. Also, the lighter the green paint, the more it will reflect the sun's rays, and thus reduce heat build up, and greenhouse gases.

Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Mr. Mayor and others: For consideration at the 10/7/14 TC Meeting: biking in Town, and green bike lanes. Since the candidates seemed to all be generally in favor of the concepts, they may wish to come out and support the idea. I don't have Ms. Farwell's email. In my meeting with Council Member Pirzynski he indicated support for biking in Town as well. Carl Guardino is highly in favor of it, hence his mentioning ATP funds to apply for. Mr. Russell had the good idea of hiring a grant writer, and if the grant is allowed, apparently the cost of the writer can be paid for through the grant. He also knows of someone in Town who would be effective at writing grants. Thank you Mr. Mayor for putting this matter on the agenda. KIDS BIKING ON SIDEWALKS I'm curious if we can expand the area where school kids can ride their bikes to include sidewalks. The sidewalks seem little used by the general public, and kids riding on them may be considerably safer than doing so on the streets (unless pylons or actual concrete barriers were installed). We already allow biking on sidewalks near Fisher. C,013 W j CMD �I :,low ; Here's Palo Alto's Bicycle and Transportation Plan link at http:/ /www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax /filebank/documents /31928 John Shepardson:) "We went up the laboratory and figured out how to do it," Ganger said. The cost when applied, Ganger says: 5 0 cents per square foot — less than a tenth the cost of thermoplastic. (from article below) Quoting (with emphasis added) from http: / /thegazette.com/subj ect /news /cedar- rapids - first -in- iowa -to- mark-a- bike -lane- with - green - paint- 20140605 "Green is similar to a warning sign, a yellow -green or yellow one to wam motorists of pedestrians and hazards of the road," Griffin said. "This is to warn motorists and cyclists of potential conflict areas and to be alert." Brandon Whyte, multimodal transportation planner for the Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMPO), said a number of bicycle - friendly cities across the country, such as Seattle, Austin, Texas, and Chicago, are using green paint on bike lanes to improve safety and raise awareness. He said the Federal Highway Administration has looked at studies about the use of paint on bike lanes and found no negative impact and plenty of positive responses from motorists and bicyclists. Green paint raises the status of bicyclists, too, he said. M Me "When it's green inside the lane, it lets people know that cycling is legitimized," Whyte said. "Cycling is a great way to get around town, it's a formal type of transportation and you have your own lanes." Marko Vojcanin, regional sales manager for paint vendor Ennis -Flint of Thomasville, N.C., said the company's bicycle -lane green paint includes an antiskid aggregate, costs $3.50 a square foot and should hold up for four to five years in Iowa before needing to be repainted. The company's in- pavement, thermoplastic material lasts twice as long at about double the price, he said. Larry Scott of Marion, a member of the Linn County Trails Association, was on hand Wednesday to learn how the green paint goes on pavement SO he and other association members can help with the painting in the future. More people are riding bicycles in the metro area and more are starting to realize you can ride to work and ride to pick up a loaf of bread, Scott said. The CMPO's Whyte said trails are key to attracting new residents to town, especially young adults. "Data shows that mlllennlals want to move to a place where they can ride a bike to work," he said. "They want to move to a place for recreation so they can get on a trail and ride a bike and walk a dog." 2.

My family and I were gone most of last week for the Best Buddies Charity Ride down the CA Coast. Yes, for the past 7 years, I have served as 1 of 9 appointees of the Governor (Schwarzenegger, Brown) on the CA Transportation Commission, which I currently Chair. The Commission programs and allocates roughly $5 billion each year in transportation funds throughout the State. This past year, we launched a new category of funding called our Active Transportation Program (ATP) and just completed our 2014 Allocation of roughly $180 million. As I mentioned at the Hearing last week, in spite of numerous pleas with cities and towns throughout Silicon Valley (including Los Gatos), almost no grant proposals were submitted by any jurisdiction in Santa Clara County. None of the few that were submitted were awarded any grant funds. The silver lining is that we will be starting our grant process for 2015 in March, for an additional $180 million (plus or minus). I will once again be encouraging Los Gatos and other jurisdictions to apply for funds, and helping them to understand what a competitive project and accompanying grant application looks like. Any encouragement you can provide to leaders in Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga to engage in this process could only help.

CA The Active Transportation Program (ATP) was created by Senate Bill 99 (Chapter 359, Statutes of 2013) and Assembly Bill 101 (Chapter 354, Statutes of 2013) to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking. The ATP consolidates various transportation programs, including the federal Transportation Alternatives Program, state Bicycle Transportation Account, and federal and state Safe Routes to School programs into a single program to: • Increase the proportion of biking and walking trips, • Increase safety for non - motorized users, • Increase mobility for non - motorized users, • Advance the efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, • Enhance public health, including the reduction of childhood obesity through the use of projects eligible for Safe Routes to Schools Program funding, • Ensure disadvantaged communities fully share in program benefits (25% of program), and Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users. 3111 Program funding is segregated into three components and is distributed as follows: 50% to the state for a statewide competitive program, 10% to small urban and rural regions with populations of 200,000 or less for the small urban and rural area competitive program, and • 40% to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) in urban areas with populations greater than 200,000 for the large urbanized area competitive program. 2014 ATP ............................................. ............................... Adopted Program The Statewide and Small Urban and Rural components of the 2014 ATP were adopted on August 20, 2014. Please note that the adoption of the 2014 ATP, Statewide and Small Urban and Rural components, is not authorization to begin work on a project. Contracts may not be awarded and/or work cannot begin until an allocation is approved by the Commission for a project in the adopted program.

Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged I rode my bike to work. I live in a condo behind the old Swanson Ford lot. I work downtown. Good easy ride, even going uphill after Roberts Rd. bridge. I'm convinced that LG is an ideal location to promote biking. Why? 1) We already have the Cats Hill race. 2) We have 2 large bike shops. 3) We have direct access to the LG Mountains. 4) We have slower speeds set near schools. N. Santa Cruz has a 15 mph limit. 5) We have flat land and hills that makes riding more interesting, and yet no huge climbs. 6) We already have lots of bike lanes marked. 7) People are tired of traffic. 8) We have a responsible populous that will yield to bicyclists. 9) We are health conscious. 10) We are environmentally conscious. 11) With biking, can access VLR in Campbell. 12) We have majestic green bowl mountains for viewing during rides. We are not riding between a sea of large buildings. Note, keeping the heights of buildings down encourages pedestrian and bicyclist use of the streets because of the views. Small town, 35 feet max height, and biking and walking are interrelated. This is why keeping the building heights down on the N. 40 is important. The No. 40 is almost a second town within the Town. Do we make it an exception to the Town standards, or do we make it compatible and consistent with them? I say the N. 40 is part of the Town, and must be consistent with Town standards. Rising traffic impacts (perfect storm of SJ traffic and town projects being built) favor this approach. What we can do more to promote: 1) Green lanes —at least at first, strategically placed, and get feedback. 2) Safety classes. 3) Bike ourselves to send a message. 4) Bike day. 5) Encourage Community Service Officers and volunteers to use bikes. 6) More bike racks. All parking lots should have them. 7) Have BikeShare racks. 8) Essay contest at High School. 9) Electric bikes or combo pedal/electric. 10) More crosswalk guards. 11) Cement or plastic barriers for key bike lanes near schools and on LG Blvd. 1/11 12) Keep building heights at N. 40 to no higher than 35 feet. How many bicyclists like to ride through Santana Row? Compare that with the thousands of bicyclists that enjoy cruising through LG?

Zermatt, Switzerland Despite the boost in the Swiss tourism industry, this quaint city has managed to fight back the need for modern infrastructure development and the increasing traffic demands. Up until today, the streets of Zermatt are filled only with pedestrians, people on their bicycles, horse carts, hand carts and a few electric cars (emergency vehicles). (emphasis added) 9. Freiburg, Germany -Z,/10 It was in the 1980's when it became a ca r -free city, making it indeed one of the most sustainable cities in the world. (emphasis added) 8. Oslo, Norway By 2012, heating oil has been effectively replaced with renewable energy resources and all buses that run on fossil fuel are now using biofuels. When it comes to carbon emission, Oslo is well -known to have the lowest among other European metropolis cities. It is also worthy to mention that 85% of the city's school children bike, walk or use the hydroelectric powered public transport. Additionally, 94% of household wastes are properly recycled. (emphasis added) 7. Portland, Oregon People of Portland has made it popular to eat local, recycle, carpool and making their building LEED- certified. Portland is Oregon's largest city and it has effectively utilizes renewable energy resources; 20% more compared to what's being implemented on a national level (Portland uses 33 %, while national average is only 13 %). It was also one of the first US cities to ban the use of plastic bags. It also has around 250 miles of bike lanes, paths and trails. (emphasis added) 6. Copenhagen, Denmark Through the years, and with the continued efforts to become and remain sustainable, this city has successfully built a great reputation as a global leader in combating climate change. And lust like the cities mentioned above, it is also a city known for bicycles. It has been reported that a third of the city's residents use their bikes primarily in getting to work and school, and in getting around the city. By next year the numbers of bike users are expected to reach up to 50% of the total number of local residents. (emphasis added) 5. Dallas, Texas And because of the requirements to follow strict city plumbing codes, it is expected that all the succeeding building projects in the city will reduce water Usage for up to 20 %. (emphasis added) 4. Adelaide, Australia 3110 It also quite well -known as a Cycling City because it Offers over 500 bikes that Can be hired for free. This is through the effort of the city council's objective for a greener and cleaner city. (emphasis added) When it comes to public transport, Adelaide offers Tindo, the very first solar - powered bus in the world, which offers air - conditioning and wireless internet. As proof of this, most of the buildings including the Parliament House, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Adelaide central Bus Station and the South Australia Museum Art Gallery, boast of solar panel systems. 3. Abu Dhabi, UAE Masdar is a model city that offers the best of the financial industries with its entrepreneurial and creative atmosphere. It is a great place to start a business because it is a specifically designed community that has the lowest carbon footprint. 2. Cape Town, South Africa It implements strict rules on energy reduction, as it also improves traffic and street lighting. 1 Vancouver, Canada As part of the city's objectives to be the world's greenest city, the city local council works with the residents in enacting sweeping changes in handling waste, ecosystem and carbon management. It's ambitious project for new and carbon neutral buildings by 2020 gave the world the wisdom that being completely Green is possible. Vancouver also aims to totally transform its transport system with the development of a new and innovative Bikeway and the 28 km long Seaside Greenway projects.

One of the Plan's targets is to have at least two - thirds of all trips made by foot, bike or 110 transit by 2040. Another target is to move toward zero traffic - related fatalities. (emphasis added) Quoting from htti)://nacto.org/cities-for-cycling/design-ggid e/ NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide To create the Guide, the authors have conducted an extensive worldwide literature search from design guidelines and real -life experience. They have worked closely with a panel of urban bikeway planning professionals from NACTO member cities, as well as traffic engineers, planners, and academics with deep experience in urban bikeway applications. For each treatment in the Guide, the reader will find three levels of guidance: • Required: elements for which there is a strong consensus that the treatment cannot be implemented without. • Recommended: elements for which there is a strong consensus of added value. Optional: elements that vary across cities and may add value depending on the situation. It is important to note that many urban situations are complex; treatments must be tailored to the individual situation. Good engineering judgment based on deep knowledge of bicycle transportation should be a part of bikeway design. Decisions should be thoroughly documented. To assist with this, the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide links to companion reference material and studies.

The bike lane is located adjacent to motor vehicle travel lanes and flows in the same direction as motor vehicle traffic. Bike lanes are typically on the right side of the street, between the adjacent travel lane and curb, road edge, or parking lane. Continue reading , n J Buffered Bike Lanes Buffered bike lanes are conventional bicycle lanes paired with a designated buffer space separating the bicycle lane from the adjacent motor vehicle travel lane and /or parking lane. A buffered bike lane is allowed as per MUTCD guidelines for buffered preferential lanes (section 3D -01). Continue reading —, Contra -Flow Bike Lanes Contra -flow bicycle lanes are bicycle lanes designed to allow bicyclists to ride in the opposite direction of motor vehicle traffic. They convert a one - way traffic street into a two -way street: one direction for motor vehicles and bikes, and the other for bikes only. Contra -flow lanes are separated with yellow center lane striping. Continue reading —, Left -Side Bike Lanes Left -side bike lanes are conventional bike lanes placed on the left side of one -way streets or two -way median divided streets. Continue reading Quoting from http: / /nacto orci/ cities - for - cycling /design - guide /intersection- treatments/ 5 5/1,0 j0 Bike Boxes A bike box is a designated area at the head of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that provides bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal phase. Continue reading Intersection Crossing Markings Bicycle pavement markings through intersections indicate the intended path of bicyclists through an intersection or across a driveway or ramp. They guide bicyclists on a safe and direct path through the intersection, and provide a clear boundary between the paths of through bicyclists and either through or crossing motor vehicles in the adjacent lane. Continue reading Two -Stage Turn Queue Boxes Two -stage turn queue boxes offer bicyclists a safe way make left turns at multi -lane signalized intersections from a right side cycle track or bike lane, or right turns from a left side cycle track or bike lane. Two- stage turn queue boxes may also be used at unsignalized intersections to simplify turns from a bicycle lane or cycle track onto a bicycle boulevard. At midblock crossing locations, a two -stage turn queue box may be used to orient bicyclists properly for safe crossings. Continue reading 6 Median Refuge Island Median refuge islands are protected spaces placed in the center of the street to facilitate bicycle and pedestrian crossings. On two -way streets, crossings are facilitated by splitting movements into two stages separated by the direction of approaching vehicle traffic. Continue reading Through Bike Lanes For bicyclists traveling in a conventional bike lane or from a truncated cycle track, the approach to an intersection with vehicular turn lanes can present a significant challenge. For this reason it is vital that bicyclists are provided with an opportunity to correctly position themselves to avoid conflicts with turning vehicles. Continue reading -. Combined Bike Lane /Turn Lane A combined bicycle lane /turn lane places a suggested bike lane within the inside portion of a dedicated motor vehicle turn lane. A dashed line can either delineate the space for bicyclists and motorists within the shared lane or indicate the intended path for through bicyclists. This treatment includes signage 7 -�/►'0 Vo advising motorists and bicyclists of proper positioning within the lane. Continue reading -, Cycle Track Intersection Approach This treatment covers guidance for cycle track design at intersection approaches with the purpose of the reducing turn conflicts for bicyclists or to provide connections to intersecting bicycle facility types. Continue reading Quoting from http://nacto.org/cities-for- cycling/design-guide/cycle-tracks/ s One -Way Protected Cycle Tracks This treatment covers one -way cycle tracks that are at street level and use a variety of methods for physical protection from passing traffic. See raised cycle track for information on alternative cycle track designs. Street level cycle tracks are also known as "on- street bike paths" in New York City.Continue reading _, Raised Cycle Tracks Raised cycle tracks are bicycle � 0 facilities that are vertically �/' separated from motor vehicle traffic. Many are paired with a furnishing zone between the cycle track and motor vehicle travel lane and /or pedestrian area. A raised cycle track may allow for one -way or two -way travel by bicyclists. Continue reading Two -Way Cycle Tracks Two -way cycle tracks are physically separated cycle tracks that allow bicycle movement in both directions on one side of the road. Two -way cycle tracks share some of the same design characteristics as one -way tracks, but may require additional considerations at driveway and side - street crossings. Continue reading --.
