TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) ORDINANCE RECOMMENDATION
Transportation Planner Andrew Scipioni explained that the TDM ordinance recommendation was on the

discussed the work of the cross-commission which was to review TDM options and recommend a TDM policy
or ordinance. McCarthy discussed the work of the cross-commission, key features of the draft ordinance which
included commercial, mixed used and residential developments, and redevelopments on a two-tier scale
requirement based on parking spaces, units, and square foot in floor area.
Committee members Bruce McCarthy (ETC) and Lou Miranda (PC) answered questions of the City Council
related to developers’ feedback and the pros and cons of having a policy versus an ordinance. Kirk Johnson (ETC
