TDM is a series of measures promoting alternatives to the single occupant vehicle for reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality by maximizing the use of the existing transportation infrastructure. These measures include carpooling, vanpooling, transit, walking, bicycling, telecommuting, compressed work weeks, etc.

The primary goal of the City’s Employer TDM program is to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality through the reduction of work-related car trips. The strategy used is the utilization of the technical assistance provided by the TDM Program Manager and the implementation of the Contra Costa Countywide Incentive Programs at employment sites.

Technical assistance, program development, and implementation services available to participating employers include:

• Coordinate, distribute, and evaluate employee transportation surveys
• Implement citywide commuter incentive programs for carpooling, vanpooling, transit and a citywide guaranteed ride home program for residents and businesses
• Coordinate and implement regional commuter campaigns such as; Bike to Work Week, Spare the Air, California Rideshare Week and Vanpool Month
• Provide and disseminate information on national campaigns such as Earth Day, Try Transit Week, etc.
• Provide "Transportation Options" presentations to employers and employees relocating to San Ramon and other portions of the Southwest Contra Costa County
• Organize and facilitate employer transportation commuter fairs
• Coordinate and facilitate Spare the Air commuter fairs at employment sites
• Facilitate with local transit agencies to develop, increase, and promote transit service
• Provide assistance and support to property managers with multi-tenant buildings to coordinate and implement commuter rideshare programs
• Provide and distribute rideshare information to local Chambers of Commerce, developers, and homeowner associations
• Commuter Incentive Programs
