The
C/CAG
Travel
Demand
Model
was
one
of
five
data
sources
used
to
develop
trip
distribution
and
assignment
parameters
for
the
Baylands
traffic
analysis.
The
land
use
inputs
for
the
C/CAG
Travel
Demand
Model
were
adjusted
for
the
Traffic
Analysis
Zones
(TAZs)
containing
the
Brisbane
Baylands
site.
This
included
updating
land
use
data
based
on
the
information
contained
in
the
four
development
scenarios.
Data
compiled
for
use
in
San
Francisco
is
relevant
to
the
trip
distribution
and
trip
assignment
portion
of
the
traffic
impact
analysis
undertaken
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Draft
EIR
since
the
Baylands
site
is
directly
adjacent
to
the
City
and
County
of
San
Francisco.
There
are
no
physical
features
that
separate
the
Brisbane
Baylands
site
from
adjacent
lands
within
San
Francisco.
The
roadway
and
transit
networks
are
shared
between
Brisbane
and
adjacent
lands
in
San
Francisco,
and
therefore
the
travel
behavior
would
be
similar.
The
congestion
management
data
requested
in
Comment
does
not
contain
information
regarding
Trip
Distribution
and
Assignment
in
San
Mateo
County,
to
which
this
comment
refers.
While
mode
split
for
a
large
and
long-term
project
such
as
the
Brisbane
Baylands
may
be
difficult
to
precisely
predict,
multiple
sources
were
used
to
develop
a
conservative
mode
split
to
be
used
in
the
analysis.
Transit
mode
share
was
developed
independently
of
exact
transit
frequencies,
and
inputs
were
described
based
on
best
available
information.
The
comment
is
correct
that
using
mode
share
data
cited
in
paragraph
2
of
page
4.N-76,
automobiles
still
account
for
80%
of
work
trips
and
70%
of
non-work
trips.
This
mode
split
was
used
for
the
traffic
impact
analysis.
Data
compiled
for
use
in
San
Francisco
is
relevant
to
the
trip
distribution
and

In-lieu
of
specific
guidelines
developed
by
the
City
of
Brisbane,
best
available
information
was
used,
including
information
from
the
bordering
jurisdiction
of
San
Francisco.

for
information
regarding
how
trip
generation
and
internal
capture
trips
were
calculated.
The
internal
capture
calculations

into
account
