meeting you this past weekend at the Sustainable Dallas conference. I found the conference to be very informative. I am helping to organize an environmental awareness week at my building
and would like to get some information. As discussed, can you forward me the contact details for Robin Jones in the solid waste division? I would like to get his e-mail address, in addition
to his phone number. I found out that we already have some information on recycling in Addison, but it would be helpful to know who to contact in case we have more questions. During
the conference, you mentioned your interest in public transportation. What information can you share about the DART vanpools, etc.? We might be able to address such a topic in my building.
Thank you for your time. Regards, Doranne Keating Tricon Restaurant Services phone: 972-33B-6794 1

the mountains this summer thinking you were getting away from the bad air in the city? Are you someone who thinks that since you live in the suburbs bad air quality doesn't effect you
as much as those that live in the big city? When you're driving in traffic, do you keep your windows rolled up and your air conditioner on thinking it will help you avoid the smoke coming
from the vehicle in front of you? Well guess what? You couldn't be more wrong! There was a time when a visitor to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park could see for more than 60
miles. Last summer, the air was so bad they deemed it unhealthy 43 days and visibility often was down to 12 miles. It is now common for the air in our national parks to be worse than
the air in many of our major cities. Suburbanites suffer from the same misconception. Many people believe that by living in the suburbs they are avoiding the worst ofthe bad air. In
both cases, what people do not take into account is the wind. Pollution does not stay where it was made, it migrates with the air currents. Depending on wind speed and direction, pollution
made in Houston may find its way to Dallas, or vice-versa. To get a more graphic picture ofthe hour-by-hour air quality changes in our area, log on to: Http://www.tnrcc.state.tx.uslcgi-bin/monopslozo
ne_animation?04 Pick a date and walch the progression of ozone accumulations. Dates where the air quality standard was exceeded provide a very realistic picture of how bad the air is
getting (Example: August 5, 1999). Pay particular attention to the short amount of time the air quality is actually "good". The air inside your car is not much better. The typical driver
will roll up the carwindow, turn on the air conditioner and go about their commute feeling protected from the dirty air outside. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth. Studies are now showing that levels
oftoxic materials (like benzine and carbon monoxide) are two to ten times higher inside a vehicle than on a congested freeway or major street. Automakers say they have been concentrating
on what comes out of the exhaust, not what gets inside. So, the next time you're stuck behind a smoking vehicle roll down your windows, take out a pen and paper and copy the license
number and location ofthe vehicle. When you get home, call 1-800-453-SMOG (1-800-453-7664). The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission will handle the rest. Remember that it's
your air, too! 
August Question: Gasoline mowers produce 2 to 5 percent ofour air pollution. They can emit as many hydrocarbons in one hour as a new car does in miles. September Question: Public transportation
trips represent about 25% of all urban trips in Europe. What percent ofall urban trips occur on public transportation in the U.S.? June Answer: How much does it cost for a City ofRichardson
employee to purchase a DART local monthly bus pass? $15 for a local monthly bus pass! July Answer: What percentage of all driving consists oftrips of less than five miles? 50% ofall
driving trips are less than 5 miles! , . TDM Awards Luncheon Coming Soon! On September 29, 1999, the annual TDM Awards Luncheon will be held at Richardson City Hall for those employees
that have put forth the extra effort to do their share for cleaner air! Records from the TDM Database will be used to determine the top participants and invitations will be distributed
in midSeptember. Will you be one of the top participants? 
Ernie's Extra The City of Richardson has a new participant in the fight for cleaner air. His name is Ernie Ramos, and he is now in charge ofFlee! for the City. Ernie is no stranger in
the fight for cleaner air. Before coming to the City ofRichardson, Ernie spent over five years with the City ofCoppell as the Fleet Manager, and over eight years as 2nd shift fleet manager
for the Coca Cola Bottling Company. Ernie will be providing tips on the best way to keep our vehicles running at their peak performance and giving out timely information on alternative
fuels. Please be sure to look for Ernie's Extra in future T.D.M. Express editions! And now, ERNIE'S EXTRA The quality ot the air in and around the Metroplex is getting worse every day.
Soon the Metroplex is going to be reclassified from a serious to a severe non-attainment area for air quality. As a result, several restrictions could be placed on local governments
effecting many operations. Vehicles using unleaded gasoline could be prohibited from refueling between 6:00 and 10:00 a.m., and City vehicle use could be restricted to business use only
(no City vehicles being taken home). Along with Travel Demand Management, the City's commitment to alternative fuels is helping to reduce emissions and increase air quality in the Metroplex.
As an employee, you can help by continuing to use alternative fuel and compressed natural gas (CNG), which several City vehicles are capable ofusing. Our organization's use ofalternative
fuels is very important to both the community and the environment By law, each vehicle that can use CNG must do so 90% ofthe time. Ifyour vehicle can use CNG, a renewed commitment from
you to do so is a step in the right direction. Ifthe City vehicle you drive doesn't operate well on CNG, please contact Fleet Services and make arrangements forrepairs when possible.
Ifyour vehicle does not use alternative fuel, the next time you're pumping gas think about your driving habits. For better fuel economy, avoid rapid starts; last-second stops; making
unnecessary trips during rush hour; attempting a left turn in heavy traffic; unsteady driving speed; driving at speeds exceeding the posted limit; excessive idle time; warming up your
vehicle in the driveway, and gunning the engine before shutting it off. Technology and the commitment ofall staff will help to improve air quality in the Metroplex. Remember that we
all have to do our share for cleaner air! Don't forget to send in your receipts for tune-ups, oil changes, tire purchases or anything else that helps your vehicle run more efficiently.
Each receipt (up to two) will give you an extra entry into the monthly TDM prize drawing. Ifyou tum in your monthly tracking form with two receipts you will have three chances to win!

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTl\'IENT (9'/2) 4SO-2871 Post Olli.. Bo. 9010 Mm.••, T"" .. 75001·9010 􀀱􀁾􀀱Wesigrove MEMORANDUM To: From: Ron Whitehead, City Manager J Jim Pierce, Assistant City
Engineer 0-' \ . Subject: Travel Demand Management . I have attached a copy of my letter to James McCarley regariling our scorecard. We could have scored higher if we subsidized the
cost of vanpools or participated in DART's Discount Bus Pass Program. While we do not have our employee survey info back yet from DART (due to a software upgrade problem), I have a sense
there is not too much interest in vanpools. However, ifthe Town subsidized the vanpools, there may be more interest. I would like to suggest the Town put some money in next year's budget
for vanpools and the discount bus pass program. And, if we really want to take a bold step forward, I suggest DART's E-Pass Program. EPass is an annual photo I.D. bus/rail pass the Town
would purchase for Town Council and ALL employees that provides unlimited use of DART bus/rail facilities. The program includes 2 free emergency rides home per quarter via taxi. A ballpark
estimate of cost to the Town for this program to cover Council and all employees is $20,OOO/year. DART believes this program would really get people to use the system who otherwise would
not use it. If the Town would subsidize these programs it could be 'counted as another valuable employee benefit and would demonstrate 􀀣􀁣􀁯􀁲􀁰􀁯􀁲􀁡􀁴􀁥􀁾􀀠good will. A subsidy would
also enhance recruitment and employee retention. InterestingW, the first $65/month of any' benefit funded by the Town is not counted as income to the employee, which makes the benefit
even more valuable. Other benefits to the Town are less vehicular traffic, less parking space' required, less air pollution, and each participant is provided reliable transportation.
Partidpation by the Town would show strong support of the DART transit system. These programs can be paid for out of our DART LAP/CMS funding if so desired. If we subscribed to the E-Pass
program, we would be the first Member City to do so. I'm sure we could get some good publicity while we underscore our leadership position. Cc: John Baumgartner, Director ofPublic Works

Transportation Plan Town ofAddison Contents U Introduclion [J Survey Findings U Commute Information U Recommendations o ETC Job Description U Survey Sample o Sample Density Plot Map
U Attachments Introduction The following Is a transportation plan for the Town of Addison. This proposal contains a summary of the results of a survey administered to the Town of Addison
employees. DART would like to thank James Pierce, Assistant City Engineer, for his assistance in administering this survey. Survey Findings Employees returned at total of 200 surveys
ofwhich 134 were usable. The following are highlights of the employee survey administered in February, 1999. Below are the results of the site analysis: Origin and Destination Information
• 14.18% have a trip origin within the City of Dallas • 55.97% have a trip origin within the DART Service Area • 29.85% haye a trip origin outside the DART Service Area but within the
Rideshare Service Area (both DART and the 1') Commute Information • 61.9% start the work day between the hours of7:00 and 8:00am; 65.7% leave work between 4:00 and 6:00pm; 67.0% work
a regular work schedule; 33.0% work a flex schedule and 91.3% work Monday through Friday • 95.5% drive alone • 20.1% rideshare occasionally; 3.7% rideshare regularly • 1l.2% would be
able to commute on public transportation; 34.3% ''Do Not Know' If they would he able to commute on public transportation 
Recommendations Based on the survey results, 14.2% of Town of Addison employees reside within the DART service area and have access to DART's bus/rail services. For the 56.0% of Town
of Addison employees who live in communities within the DART service area but not close to the services and those outside of DART's service area, consider vanpools and carpools. The
Town of Addison's main concern on how to impact air quality and traffic congestion was presented to the employees as a question. Of tbe 134 employees surveyed, 34.3% of employees responded
that they did not know if they would be able to commute on public transportation if a transit pass was provided by their employer, DART recommends a combination of rideshare options.
Carpools, vanpools and public transit as well as education and information about the DART system. RIDEMATCH: By using the Density Plot Map, employees can be matched by zip code with
other employees who live, work and share similar work schedules. Each employee surveyed will receive a personalized matchlist. This list can be used by the employee to contact fellow
employees for ridesharing opportunities. VANPOOLS: Vanpooling is an option for those wbo choose to ride together and live longer distances from tbe worksite. Employees bave a cboice
between an 8 passenger van or 15 passenger van. The $400 per montb cost of tbe vebicle is divided between the riders. DART supplies everything, the vebicle, maintenance, a gasoline allowance
and insurance. Town of Addison supplies the driver and tbe group. Tbe DART van pool can go anywhere as long as the work or borne destination is within Dallas, Denton or Collin county.
Vanpools can travel on tbe HOV lanes. Tbis program can be subsidized by tbe employer and comes equipped witb an Emergency Ride Home. PASS PROGRAMS: Monthly Pass Programs can be easily
implemented with or without employer subsidies. Passes can be sold at the workslte. The passes are good for unlimited use during the calendar month. The passes are issued on a pre-payment
basis with a return option on orders of 11 or more purcbased per month. With company subsidies DART will give a $Z discount on every pass purcbased. This program is a pre-tax benefit
to your employees and a tax write off to the Town of Addison. Annual Pass The E-pass is an annual pass program effective for the calendar year. Companies provide the pass as an employer
benefit to the employee. Pricing is based on DART service and company size. This program utilizes group rate pricing to provide tbe lowest priced pass program available. Unlimited transportation
on all of DART's fixed services. Includes an Emergency Ride Home. COMMUTER BENEFIT: The IRS allows employers to subSidize their workers' bus/rail passes and vanpool fares up to $65 per
month per employee tax-free. The law is designed to promote the use of public transit by commuters. A transportation fringe benefit allowable by the IRS (IRS Section 13Z(1) allows companies
to purcbase monthly discount passes (through DART's Employer Program) annual photo ID bus/rail passes (through DART's E-pass) and/or vanpool fares (through DART's van pool program) The
first $65.00 of value is tax free. Private employers, non-profit organizations and public agencies can provide the benefit to employees tax-free. Federal government employees and members
of the military services are also eligible to receive the transit benefit.

Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) WHAT IS AN ETC? In an effort to work with area employel'1l in developing and implementing employee transportation programs, a link must be established
at the employer level to ensure .that employee-demand services are delivered. This vital link is the Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC). WHY HAVE AN ETC? Technology alone cannot
fix our traffic problems nor clean the air we breathe. Neither can we spend our way out of these problems. While technology and dollars are essential parts of the eventual solution (more
efficient engines, alternative fuels, traffic Dow improvements, etc.) these problems also require that we change the way we are accustomed to getting to and from work. But changing habits
is hard to do. What we need are personal "change agents," or ETC's. The ETC's provide the human touch needed to remedy our traffic 􀁣􀁯􀁮􀁧􀁥􀁾􀁴􀁩􀁯􀁮􀀠and air quality problems. With
the exception of a few dedicated self-starters, new RideShare arrangements are unlikely to form without the personal intervention of an ETC. Simply distributing RideMatch lists generated
by a computer is insufficient. RideSharing arrangements personally Initiated and implemeuted by an ETC are far more likely to succeed. WHAT DOES AN ETC DO? • Personally assists employees
in selecting and utilizing a commute method that fits their individual needs. • Shows employees how to save money through reducing commuting costs, such as parking, fuel maintenance,
insurance, etc. • Assists employees by making them aware ofthe convenience and comfort of commuting by avoiding the hassles cansed by driving alone. • Assists to increase company productivity
and improve employee moral by reducing employee stress, tardiness, absenteeism and turnover associated with commuting difficulties. • Assists to improve the company's ability to recruit
and retain skilled employees by expanding access to skilled workers throughout the area.

as he decides. Congratulations Curt! 􀁾􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀽􀀺􀀺􀀺􀀺􀀺..=--=::.= .... ::::::::..:::::::========.::.::=====:... = ....==.= Slow Down and Get There Sooner? We've all
been there, running late for an appointment, trying to make up some time, pushing the speed limit in hopes of getting to our destination sooner. Well, did you know that by speeding up
between traffic lights you might actually be making yourself even later? Traffic lights are timed in coordination with each other so that when you maintain the posted speed limit (which
all City employees do), you will often be able to "catch all of the lights green!" By rushing between traffic signals, you increase your chances of catching the red and risk receiving
a traffic citation, or even worse, having an accident. You will also save fuel by avoiding 'Jackrabbit" starts. So the next time you're running late, relax a little bit. Speeding up
may Your Single I ; ; : ! only make you later! Occupant Vehicle!

51 cents per mile taking into accountdepreeiation and finance charges. Variable costs include gas & oil (5.9 cents per mile), maintenance (2.8 cents per mile), and tires (1.4 cents per
mile). Fixed costs include insurance (6.5 cents per mile), fees and taxes (1.9 cents per mile), depreciation (26.5 cents per mile), and finance charges (6.4 cents per mile). Fixed costs
have been based on 10,000 miles driven in a year. Ifyou knew a way to save $372.60 in one month without doing anything illegal, immoral, or fattening would you do it? In faet, with this
plan you could even catch up on your reading! Well, look at the graph below to help yourself gain a better understanding of the true costs associated with your single occupant vehicle.
If you drive the average round-trip work commute of38 miles per day, with a total operating cost of51 cents per mile, you are spending $1 9.38 everyday to drive to work! Ifyou work the
average 20 days per month, you will spend $387.60 for your round-trip work commutes ! If you had used the discount offered through the City'S TDM program to purchase a monthly pass from
DART, you could have traveled the same number of miles for $15. That's a savingsof$372.60 in one month! Even if you only use DART one day perweek, you will still save$62.52 in a month and have the use of your pass for other trips during the month. If, after reading this article, you feel the sudden desire to purchase a DART monthly pass, justcall
(972) 238-4276 and before you know it you'll be on your way to saving your hard-eamed money while doing your share for cleaner air!

someone will stop to help? Well, never fear, TxDOT Courtesy Patrol will come to your rescue! If you are broken down on the highway, the Texas Department ofTransportation will send a
Courtesy Patrol to your location and assist you by bringing gas, fixing tires or making other minor repairs. If your breakdown is more serious, they will help you arrange to get your
car off the freeway and make sure you are in a safe location. All minor assistance is done at no charge to the driver! All you need to do is call (or have someone call for you) and a
courtesy patrol will be sent to yourlocation. So take just a momentto cut out the information to the right and put it in your car's glove compartment. You never know when it will come
in handy! • Courtesy Patrol (214) 320-4444 Hours ojOperation: 6 a.m. To 10 p.m., Mon. -Tues. 6 a.m. To Midnight, Wed. -Fri. 4 p.m. To Midnight, Sat. -Sun. February Question: In the U.S.,
we spend more money on transportation than we do on health, education or food! It is the second highest component of household expenditures, following only housing at 32%. What percent
of household 􀁾􀁸􀁲􀁣􀁮􀁤􀁩􀁴􀁵􀁲􀁥􀁳􀀠does the average family spend on transportation? March Question: L As the article on the front page 􀁳􀁴􀁡􀁴􀁾􀁳􀀮􀀠III many cases, by slowing
down you can actually get to [ to your destination sooner. Did you know you will also save fuel? Try to guess how much you will increase your gas mileage (in percent) by traveling 55
mph rather than 65 mph. December's Answer: On an average weekday, over 270,000 people take advantage of one of the DART services by riding the bus, rail or trolley, or using the HOV
lane. January's Answer: Currently there are 18 miles of H OV lanes in operation throughout the DART service area. An additional 80 miles of HOV lanes are in the system plan for the future.

The Ride for Rewards Form has Changed! You might have noticed that the Ride for Rewards form has changed a little bit. These changes have been made for two reasons. First, to better
track the number of miles that City employees have saved through their TDM efforts, there are now three ways to track your carpooling activities. Now when you car pool to lunch you should
write "CL," when you car pool to work you should write "CW" and when you car pool to some other location, such as a meeting or class, you should write "CO." When you use "CO" please
include the number of miles you traveled, or .just write in where you went and the mileage will be figured for you. The second change is in the way the forms are printed. To save paper,
there will be two forms printed on one page. After you have finished filling out the portion of the form that is good for the current month, just cut across the indicated line and send
in that half An additional sheet has been included in this month's newsletter to help explain how it should be filled out. Please keep the sheet for future reference, and if you have
any questions please call 238-4216. T.D.M. WINNERS: City of Richardson: November What a Burger Lunch: Gary Inge, Parks McDonalds Lunch: Liz Thorles, Bldg. Insp. Dallas Stars Tickets:

(214) 749-2577 DART patronage up 22.5% in FY 1998 More than 85 million trips made on DART last year DART ridership jumped by almost 16 million passenger trips during Fiscal Year 1998
as more people took advantage ofthe growing network ofbuses, light rail and commuter trains and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. DART's rail ridership gains are especially impressive
in comparison to national trends. In October, the American Public Transit Association reported a 5.8% increase in use of light rail and a 4.6% increase in the use of commuter rail nationwide
during the first six months of 1998 compared with 1997. In contrast, DART light rail ridership was up 37.3% and commuter rail ridership grew 164.7%. DART enjoyed ridership increases
in each ofits modes: bus, light rail, Trinity Railway Express (commuter rail) and HOV lanes. DART Ridership Growing (numbers are rounded and reIX ned in passen!!er trltJs for the Fiscal

DART who are making customer service and quality a daily priority," DART PresidentlExecutive Director Roger Snoble said. "In the past year we've made major bus service improvements and
taken steps to advance the expansion of light and commuter rail.II Page 1 of4 
As a result ofthose efforts, monthly bus ridership increased each month ofFY 1998 and in September exceeded 4.2 million passenger trips --the highest one month total in the last six
years. Average weekday ridership in September was 177,800. To further enhance service, DART is building a new bus maintenance facility in South Oak Cliff; new passenger facilities in
Addison, South Dallas and Pleasant Grove; and introducing a new fleet ofstate-of the-art buses and Trolley-Bus shuttles, all ofwhich are wheelchair-accessible for disabled customers.
Light rail continues steady r:rowth. prepares for expansion Ridership on DART's 20-mile Light Rail Starter System continues to grow. Average weekday ridership grew 42% --from 25,700
in FY 1997 to 36,500 inFY 1998. Average daily ridership in September was more than 41,000, and more than 1 million passenger trips were made that month. DART kicks off construction this
winter on light rail extensions to Garland, Richardson and Plano, and is purchasing 55 more rail vehicles, vehicles, the first ofwhich begin arriving in summer 1999. Service is scheduled
to open to Richardson and Garland by 2002 and to Plano by 2003. Commuter rail building support. adding Saturday service More commuters are discovering DART's Trinity Railway Express
commuter rail service. Ridership in the past year increased more than 165% from 190,000 passenger trips to more than halfa million. A large part ofthe increase is due to the addition

"In the transit industry, DART is being singled out as an example ofpublic cooperation, efficiency and innovation," DART Board Chairman Norma Stanton ofIrving added. "Almost monthly,
we host out-of-town transit officials who want to see how DART delivers rail, along with other transit modes. One ofthe most striking things they see --and a major factor in our success
--is the enthusiastic support ofour member cities." That support is reflected in the bus ridership gains posted in 12 ofDART's 13 member cities during the past 12 months. DART Bus Ridership

bus ridership gains was set in 1997 as the agency invested in additional transit police officers to enhance bus system security and launched a five-year bus action plan that features
new and improved bus routes, better customer-information signage at transit centers and adds passenger amenities such as benches and shelters at more bus stops. Page 2 of4 
HOVlanes setting national standards DART's newest HOV lane --along 1-635 LBJ Freeway in North Dallas --is one ofthe nation's busiest, providing a fast-moving lane for 48,500 daily commuters.
All together, the network of HOV lanes along 1-35 Stemmons Freeway, 1-30 East R. L. Thornton Freeway and LBJ Freeway ease the commute for more than 93,000 users daily. Work is already
underway on a new II-mile section ofHOV lanes which will run south of downtown Dallas along busy the South R. L. Thornton and Marvin D. Love freeways. Scheduled to open in late 1999,
the lanes are expected to save commuters about 14 minutes daily. Stepped-up marketing paving dividends -DART's increased emphasis on customer service and marketing played a vital role
in boosting ridership, according to DART Vice President ofMarketing Communications Sue Bauman. "Easier to read signage, more training for our customer service staff, a streamlined bus
route system and a stepped-up marketing and advertising effort all played a part in our recent success," she said. DART also introduced a new pass program called E-Pass, which allows
employers to purchase annual passes a greatly reduced rates and pass them on to their employees as a new benefit. Participating companies include the Environmental Protection Agency,
Bank ofAmerica, Central Dallas Association, Electronic Data Systems, Jayhawk Acceptance Corporation, Tetra Tech EM, Inc., Transamerica Real Estate Information Companies, Whataburger
and Hunt Oil Company. -30

Ifyou can answer yes to any of
these questions you might be a candidate for a better through the Vehicle Recycling Case Study. As an employee ofthe City of Richardson you could trade in your older polluting vehicle
for 1987 or newer vehicle. This great deal is made possible through a unique partnership between the City ofRichardson, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, local car dealers
and credit unions. The car dealers have agreed to sell qualifying vehicles below retail value and the credit unions have agreed to certify applicants and provide a better car? financing
with an 8% interest rate. Put it all together and you have a fmal cost of around $3000.00 with a monthly payment ofas little as $100 a month! In order to be eligible you must be employed
by one ofthe participating employers (which you are!), you must certify that you have a 1979 or older registered vehicle that you regularly drive to work, show proof of insurance for
the vehicle, submit a failed emissions test for the vehicle, be able to provide a minimum of $500.00 for the down payment, and agree to trade in your old vehicle so that itcanbe recycled.
The case study will continue through Nov;:mber I, 1998 , and if successful will become an ongoing area wide program. If you art ready to trade in that "clunker" and think you may qualify
for the program, call Kim Farwell @972-238-4276 
Thursday, July 30,19984:22 PM To: Chris Terry; Mary Rosenbleeth; Mark Fadden Subject: DART Rideshare Programs I have attached a copy of a memo that I sent to Ron Whitehead a while ago.
Ron never responded to my memo in writing, but when I asked him for his reaction, he advised me to see what kind of interest there is out there and then come forward with it. I got the
impression thai if there was some interest, the Town might participate financially. I am also sending (company mail) some info from DART thai indicates they will take a survey of our
employees to try to match up interest for vanpools or carpools. I think this is a necessary step to measure interest, and if DART will do illets let them. Please advise how best to proceed.
P.S. I have also enclosed some info on Richardson's program -they are doing a lot-they have some vans running and have a full time person running their program. They have 800 employees
too. RideshareMemoRon. D OCJim.

City Engineer 0-\ . Subject: Travel Demand Management I have attached a copy of my letter to James McCarley regarding our scorecard. We could have scored higher if we subsidized the
cost of vanpools or participated in DART's Discount Bus Pass Program. While we do not have our employee survey info back yet from DART (due to a software upgrade problem), I have a sense
there is not too much interest in vanpools. However, ifthe Town subsidized the vanpools, there ma,y be more interest. I would like to suggest the Town put some money in next year's budget
for vanpools and the discount bus pass program. And, if we really want to take a bold step forward, I suggest DART's E-Pass Program. EPass is an annual photo tD. bus/rail pass the Town
would purchase for Town Council and ALL employees that provides unlimited use of DART bus/rail facilities. The program includes 2 free emergency rides home per quarter via taxi. A ballpark
estimate of cost to the Town for this program to cover Council and all employees is $20,OOO/year. DART believes this program would really get people to use the system who otherwise would
not use it. If the Town would subsidize these programs it could be counted as another valuable employee benefit and would demonstrate acorporate" good will. A subsidy would also enhance
recruitment and employee retention. Interestingly, the first $65/month of any· benefit funded by the Town is not counted as income to the employee, which makes the benefit even more
valuable. Other benefits to the Town are less vehicular traffic, less parking space required, less air pollution, and each participant is provided reliable transportation. Participation
by the Town would show strong support of the DART transit system. These programs can be paid for out of our DART LAP/CMS funding if so desired. If we subscribed to the E-Pass program,
we would be the first Member City to do so. I'm sure we could get some good publicity while we underscore our leadership position. Cc: John Baumgartner, Director of Public Works

As trovel demand continues to outpace both the existing and planned supply of highways and arterial streets, it has become critical that ways be found to better manage the use of our
roadways through RideSharing. RideSharing consists of anumber of options that allow areduction in the number of single occupancy vehicles. The DART Corporate Challenge is an opportunity
for employers to help reduce traffic congestion in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. This is done by voluntarily offering employees RideSharing options like riding bus/rail, carpooling, vanpooling,
bicycling, walking, telecommuting and alternative work hours. In on effort to maximize the impact of Corporate Challenge, employers are strongly urged to participate and endorse this
campaign by offering RideShoring programs to employees. Offering on economic or personal incentive for commuting is essential when encouraging employees to RideShare. In addition, DART
will offer rewards to employees who RideShare. Participating in DART's Corporate Challenge program will: Reduce traffic congestion Benefit employees Help retain areas economic vitality

!'Ii' WM:E!! i :(@461® May 27,1998 PUBUC WORKS DEPARTMENT (972) 450·2871 Post Officc Box 144 Addison, Texas 75001 16801 Westgrove MEMORANDUM To: Ron Whitehead, City Manager From: Jim
Pierce, Assistant City EngineerfjR Subject: DART Rideshare Programs I have recently become aware that DART has several employer programs available to promote the use of the Train/Bus
system and carpooling. Of these programs, the Monthly Pass, "E-Pass', and the Van Program seem the most appropriate for consideration for use by the Town ofAddison. The monthly pass
is simply a program whereby the Town would be able to buy monthly bus/rail passes at a slight discount for employees that would use them. The Town could subsidize the cost of the pass,
partially or fully. A local bus service pass would cost $28/month and a premium pass would cost $58/month. Premium service provides non-stop rides between transit centers, park & ride
lots and downtown. E-Pass is an annual photo J.D. bus/rail pass the Town would purchase for ALL emplo.yees that provides unlimited use of DART bus/rail facilities. The program includes
2 free emergency rides home per quarter via taxi. A ballpark estimate of cost to the Town for this program to cover all employees is $20,000/year. DART believes this program would really
get people to use the system who otherwise would not use it. The Van Program can work for between 7 and 15 people who can get together and form a pool. DART provides the van and the
cost ranges from $29 to $67 per month per rider if the commute is 90 miles per day or less, DART provides a fuel allowance which would cover most of the fuel cost -the remainder would
have to be made up by the riders. The "Captain" of the van rides free, and can use the van for 250 personal miles per month, as "compensation" for driving and collecting the fees. Two
free emergency rides home are provided for any rider per quarter. I have attached a sheet that gives som'e more details of this program. 
If the Town would subsidize these programs it could be counted as another valuable employee benefit and would demonstrate "corporate" good will. A subsidy would also enhance recruitment
and employee retention. Interestingly, the first $65fmonth of any benefit funded by the Town is not counted as income to the employee, which makes the benefit even more valuable. Other
benefits to the Town are less vehicular traffic, less parking space required, less air pollution, and each participant is provided reliable transportation. Participation by the Town
would show strong support of the DART transit system. These programs can be paid for out of our DART LAPf CMS funding if so desired. If we subscribed to the E-Pass program, we would
be the first Member City to do so. I'm sure we could get some good publicity while we underscore our leadership position. I am sending this memo because it is budget time. and perhaps
an appropriate time to gauge the level of Council interest. As you probably know, DART will be glad to come out and make any presentations appropriate. Please let me know if I can provide
further assistance. Cc: John Baumgartner Pam Storaci

to subsidize their workers' bus/rail passes and vanpool fares up to $65 per month per employee tax-free. The law is designed to promote the use ofpublic transit by commuters. What is
it? • The transportation fringe benefit (IRS Section 132(f) allows companies to purchase monthly discount bus/rail passes (through DART's Employer FareShare Program), annual photo ID
bus/rail passes (through DART's E-Pass Program) and/or vanpool fares (through DART's DARTVan Program). • The first $65 ofvalue is tax free. Who is Eligible? Private employers, non-profit
organizations and public agencies can provide the benefit to employees, tax-free. Federal government employees and members of the military services are also eligible to receive the transit
benefit. How Does it Work? • The commuter benefit is usually given in the form ofa monthly, annual or single bus/rail pass, and/or monthly vanpool "bucks." • Subsidy amount is reported
on IRS form 1120 -U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, line 25 -Employee Benefit Programs. Why is it a Benefit? • Employees get a no-cost or low-cost commute to work, and don't have to
hassle with traffic, parking, and the direct and indirect costs associated with driving alone every day. • Employers who offer the commuter benefit get an advantage in recruiting and

Drive. P.O. Box 9010 Addison, Texas 75001-9010 Dear Mr. Pierce: Per our conversation on today please find enclosed infonnation pertaining to DART's Vanpool Program. Many employers use
our RideShare Program(s) as effective recruiting and retention tools. I took the liberty of also including infonnation on the Federal Transportation Benefit Program which allows an employer
to allot $65.00 per employee per month toward transportation. At the end of the year the employer identified this benefit in the same fashion that health care coverage, 401K, vacation/sick
would be notated on tax fonns; the employees pay absolutely no tax on receiving this Transportation Benefit. So, the result is a Win-Win situation! This pricing structure for the vanpool
is so new that we do not have brochures at the present time, but I am sure you wilI find the I -page fact sheet to be quite helpful. If you have any questions contact me at (214) 749-2686.
I look forward to meeting you in the near future. Sincerely, evelopment & Sales enclosure File

Baumgartner, Director of Pub__ _ From; Jim Pierce, Assistant City Engineer (J9 Subject: DART Rideshare Programs DART has several programs available to promote the use of the Train/Bus
system and carpooling. Of these programs, the Monthly Pass, "E-Pass", and the Van Program seem the most appropriate for the Town of Addison. The monthly pass is simply a program whereby
the Town would be able to buy monthly bus/rail passes at a slight discount for employees that would use them. The Town could subsidize the cost of the pass, partially or fully. A local
bus service pass would cost $28/month and a premium pass would cost $58/month. Premium service provides non-stop rides between transit centers, park & ride lots and downtown. E-Pass
is an annual photo J.D. bus/rail pass the Town would purchase for ALL employees that provides unlimited use of DART bus/rail facilities. The program includes 2 emergency rides home per
quarter. A ballpark estimate of cost to the Town for this program is $20,OOO/year. The Van Program can work for between 7 and 15 people who can get together and form a pool. DART provides
the van and the cost ranges from $29 to $67 per month per rider if the commute is 90 miles per day or less. DART provides a fuel allowance which would cover most of the fuel cost -the
remainder would have to be made up by the riders. The ·Captain" of the van rides free, and can use the van for 250 personal miles per month, for driving and collecting the fees. Two
free emergency rides home are provided for any rider per quarter. I have attached a sheet that gives some more details. 
If the Town would subsidize these programs it could be counted as another valuable employee benefit and would demonstrate ·corporate· good will. A subsidy would also enhance recruitment
and employee retention. Interestingly, the first $65/month of any benefit funded by the Town is not counted as income to the employee, which makes the benefit even more valuable. Other
benefits to the Town are less vehicular traffic, less parking space required, less air pollution and each participant is provided reliable transportation. Participation by the Town would
show strong support of the DART transit system. These programs can be paid for out of our DART LAP/CMS funding. If we did the EPass program, we would be the first Member City to do so.
I'm sure we could get some good press while we underscore our leadership position. Please discuss these programs with Ron Whitehead to gauge the level of Town interest. As you probably
know, DART will be glad to come out and make any presentations appropriate. After that, we can can plan the next steps.
