Congestion Relief Alliance to work with smaller employers for possible funding to transport their employees to and from the train station. Secondly, she explained a system in South San Francisco called "Dasher" that transports employees around during the workday. Other ideas included investing more money in making the sites more comfortable by equipping the bus shelters with benches and lighting. Council comments included the need for more information regarding the shuttle concept and bus shelter enhancements. The need to ensure that the ferry system does not pose significant environmental impacts to the bay was also expressed so as to not risk the implementation of the ferry system. Council Member Howard restated the following requested information as a part of the recommendations: Shuttle shelters to be located on public property with specifics about the number and locations. Additional information on services already available, who the Dasher service would serve and how long to be subsidized. M/S Ira/Jordan to adopt the following recommendations and a report from staff regarding a funding recommendation to be transferred from mitigation fees to supplement the recommendations for implementation: 1. No action on ferry service should be taken at this time. The City should continue to support and lobby for this type of commute service and support adequate funding by working with the Port of Redwood City; 2. Contract with Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance (PCRA) to find groups of smaller employers that might be able to join together to provide shuttle service; 3. Staff to report back with specificity on the feasibility of establishing a mid -day shuttle service similar to the South San Francisco "Dasher" service; 4. Staff to report back with a more specific proposal for constructing facilities to enhance shuttle bus service (shelters, seating, lights, etc.). The motion passed by a unanimous voice vote.
