Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program: TDM Program measures include programs, plans, and /or improvements designed to change individual travel behavior to encourage greater use of alternative modes of transportation, reduce single occupancy vehicles, and reduce parking demand. The program shall include proposed performance targets, and justifications for single occupancy vehicle trips and parking reductions, and shall designate a single entity such as the property owner, business owner, or homeowners association to implement and monitor the required measures. The program shall also include a monitoring and reporting procedure and a list of supplementary measures that will be implemented if the initial performance targets are not met, as determined by the monitoring procedures. The monitoring reports shall be required and submitted two years after building occupancy and on a yearly basis thereafter for an additional 5 years. If the monitoring reports indicate that perFormance measures are not met, the responsible entity must implement the supplemental measures identified in the TDM Plan. The TDM Plan and monitoring and reporting procedure shall be prepared by a licensed transportation professional and approved by the Public Works Director. Failure to submit reports or meet performance targets after implementation of supplemental measures may result in the revocation of the project's use permit or approvals. b.

The Iona -term passes must be provided and maintained for as long as the business is in operation. The proposal must include an annual reporting mechanism to confirm that the employee parking passes are being purchased by the business requesting the parking reduction. d. Off- street Parking Improvements: Improvement of public parking facilities including but not limited to provision or acquisition of land for public parking construction of new public parking facilities, improvements to existing off- street or providing additional on- street parking facilities may be proposed in -lieu of providing on -site parking. To approve the proposed improvements in lieu of on -site parking, the Planning Board must find that the proposed improvements will result in additional public off street parking spaces equivalent in number to the number of spaces that will not be provided on the site. The applicant shall agree to complete the improvements prior to obtaining a permit to occupy the building whether permanently or temporarily. e. Unbundled Pricin Separating or "unbundling" the cost of arkin from the cast of the lease or the cost of a condominium unit in a multi -unit residential or commercial condominium project may be proposed to reduce the off- street parking requirement. (2) When considering a request for a parking reduction pursuant to one or more of the methods available pursuant to (1) above, the Planning Board may condition approval of the reduction upon agreement that all or some of the existing parking shall be made available for shared use with signs indicating that the parking may be used by the public even if the user is visiting a nearby, off -site business. Applicant may charge a fee for shared visitor parking to cover its costs to maintain and operate the parking_ (3) If the Planning Board approves a parking reduction, the number of bicycle parking required on site shall be determined by the original number of parking spaces required by this code and shall not be reduced unless specifically reduced by the Planning Board.
