Strategies and Actions In addition to promoting alternative modes of transportation, Redwood City has also developed parking standards and parking management policies which address transportation -related emissions by encouraging walking, biking, and public transit use. In 2005, the City created the Downtown Parking Management Plan which helps reduce parking demand impacts on local and regional traffic levels with demand -based parking supply and pricing. The City has parking requirements for new development in the Downtown area that allow for reduced parking ratios, parking maximums, unbundled parking, and shared parking. This Plan accounts for emissions reductions associated with refining and updating the Parking Management Plan to respond to current community needs and parking conditions. The Climate Action Plan calls for the City to consider additional parking management strategies such as bicycle infrastructure improvements, parking cash -outs, and parking credits for car -sharing. Redwood City also supports and provides services to the community to encourage different modes of transportation and to reduce VMT associated with transporting products to the local market. The City was a pilot agency in the regional bicycle share program, Bay Area Bike Share, and currently participates in Connect Redwood City, an initiative to encourage more people to use alternative commutes, which rolled out in 2013-2014. Redwood City has three free shuttle services from the downtown Caltrain station and adopted a Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDM) which requires site-specific TDM programs to reduce project trips. The City also promotes a Farmers' Market which encourages local purchasing and locally -grown food. This Plan calls for the City to develop a Bike Share and Emerging Mobility Ordinance which will account for emissions reductions associated with implementation of current and future car and bike share programs in Redwood City and also explore additional shuttle services for major development projects and continue supporting its Downtown Farmers' Market, buying locally, and locally -grown food. City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 54 Continue smart growth policy that prioritizes infill, higher density, transportation -oriented and mixed-use development. Continue focusing Smart Growth new growth in Priority Development Areas (Downtown and transit TL -1 Development corridors), encourage orderly, new, high density mixed-use infill growth with 4,228 Policy a jobs/housing balance, and consider precise plans for transit corridors to implement the goals and policies of the Built Environment element of the Redwood City General Plan. Modify landscape to make walking and biking more desirable. Integrate the Walkable/Bikeable Citywide Transportation Plan and Green infrastructure Plan projects to form TL -2 Streets a network throughout the City that prioritizes connected active 5,212 transportation and a healthy ecology. Develop a Vision Zero Strategic Plan per the Citywide Transportation Plan. Parking Policies Promoting Continue parking policies such as metered parking, reduced parking TL -4 Public Transit, requirements for new development, and "unbundling" sales/leases of 9,695 Biking, and parking space to increase public transit use, biking, and walking. Walking Support the City's Safe Route to Schools program by investing in enhancing bike trails and safe pedestrian routes to local schools and by Safe Routes to TL -5 continuing to integrate Safe Routes to Schools goals, policies, and 197 School Program programs into the Citywide Transportation and the City's Green Infrastructure work plans. Promote the program to increase volunteer participation.
