6.1. H. - Page 5 the contribution that TDM can make toward the regional Sustainable Communities Strategy being developed by MTC. The TDM strategies being implemented under the Project are: 1. Car Share (Lead: District) 2. Short-distance Vanpool (Lead: Alliance) 3. Telework & Flex-schedules (Lead: County) 4. Residential and Employer/Employee Targeted Marketing (Leads: District and Alliance, respectively) The goal of this Project is that the availability of all these travel options and marketing of new and existing TDM strategies will change both residents' and employees' travel habits away from single- occupancy personal vehicle travel, which will result in reduced vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Mode shift would be evaluated for each individual TDM strategy, as well as collectively by comparing overall mode shift to a control city. An integral part of this goal is a reduction in VMT by five (5) percent in Redwood City. Upon completion of the Project, the District, Alliance, and the County will continue to be responsible for the Car Share, Short-distance Vanpool, and Telework & Flex-schedule TDM strategies, respectively, for those strategies deemed by the respective Parties to be self sustaining. The City reserves the right to not assume responsibility of any TDM strategies or marketing programs at the completion of the Project. II. FUNDING AND METHOD OF PAYMENT The Parties will provide in-kind contributions and will be reimbursed for all non-in-kind contributions, as delineated in Attachment B, Project Budget. The District will serve as fiscal agent for the Project. The District shall establish a separate Fund to manage funds related to this Project and shall use monies deposited in this Fund for no other purpose than to pay eligible Project-related expenses. The District will provide payment to Parties for eligible Project-related staff hours, purchases, operation, and/or marketing costs. Parties shall submit quarterly invoices with all supporting documentation within thirty days of the end of the quarter. FTA funding will be dispersed on a reimbursement basis. Upon District approval of a submitted quarterly invoice, the District will seek FTA reimbursement for the Project cost and will disperse payment to the Parties upon receipt of funds from FTA. In the event that the Project costs exceed the budgeted amounts, as delineated in Attachment B, Project Budget, the Parties expressly agree that no Party has an obligation to provide funds in excess of the funds and/or in-kind contributions delineated in Attachment B, Project Budget, unless there is approval of additional funding and/or in-kind contributions for the Project and the Parties agree to execute a written amendment to this MOU to reflect any additional funding and/or contributions. In the event that Project cost is less than that budgeted, the in-kind contributions of each of the Parties will be reduced proportionately. �..� .�. - - � , � ��.� 1,� ° . �; � � d _ 0812'11 Pa�� 2
