Modal
split
is
the
percentage
share
of
trips
made
by
each
travel
mode,
typically
categorized
by
drive
alone,
carpool,
transit,
walk/bike,
and
other
(such
as
taxi,
motorcycle,
etc.).
A
“modal
split
goal”
is
a
target
percentage
of
mode
of
travel
for
residents,
employees,
or
visitors
of
the
project
site.
In
practice,
the
goal
would
be
to
achieve
a
lower
drive
alone
automobile
mode
share.
The
exact
target
modal
split
goal
would
be
established
by
the
required
TDM
program.
Travel
surveys
are
designed
to
assess
the
travel
behavior
of
a
certain
population.
For
the
TDM
implementation
and
monitoring
strategies,
a
regularly
conducted
survey
would
allow
monitoring
of
the
population’s
travel
behavior,
including
mode
of
travel,
to
better
target
the
TDM
efforts.
The
frequency
of
surveys
would
be
biannual,
twice
a
year.
Because
the
TDM
program
that
would
be
required
of
new
development
has
not
yet
been
prepared,
the
exact
data
collection
and
funding
mechanisms
for
travel
surveys
cannot
be
determined
at
this
time.
Typically,
they
are
designed
to
collect
origin/
destination
and
mode
data.
The
data
would
be
used
to
benchmark
the
efficacy
of
proposed
of
TDM
strategies.
The
TDM
plan,
including
travel
survey
and
funding,
would
be
a
future
agreement
between
the
developer,
the
City
of
Brisbane,
and
C/CAG
as
part
of
the
development
agreement
process.
As
stated
in
Impact
4.N-13,
the
TDM
program
proposed
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-13
“must
be
ongoing
for
the
occupied
life
of
the
development”
and
would
be
subject
to
the
policies
set
forth
by
C/CAG
in
the
San
Mateo
County
Congestion
Management
Plan.
As
outlined
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-13,
the
implementation
of
the
TDM
strategies,
including
the
transit
strategies,
is
required
and
enforceable,
and
would
be
subject
to
the
provisions
of
the
San
Mateo
County
Congestion
Management
Plan.
The
strategies
are
designed
to
incentivize
employees
and
residents
to
change
their
travel
behavior,
not
force
them
to
change
their
travel
behavior,
which
is
why
the
program
would
include
a
wide
range
of
strategies.
The
comment
refers
to
a
“menu”
of
possible
TDM
strategies,
and
does
not
raise
any
substantive
environmental
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
Draft
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
The
provision
of
off-street
parking
by
land
use
type
will
be
addressed
as
part
of
the
City’s
planning
review
process.
