Figure 3.8: Employee Commute Modes Drive Alone 80% Split Modes 6% Walking 2% Biking 1% Public Transportation 4% Carpool/ Vanpool 7% Commute Time and Costs Table 3.12 shows the median time, cost, and distance of Daly City’s employees’ commutes. Figure 3.9 shows that the majority of employees live within 10 miles, suggesting that there may be good opportunities for the City to promote effective carpooling, biking, and public transportation programs. Encouraging telecommuting, if feasible, is also a viable option for the City. By encouraging employees to take public transit through incentives, Daly City could not reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but save employees money and time in the process.

Forty-three percent of respondents indicated that they had no interest in converting to an alternative mode of transportation. Despite some employees’ interest in public transit, only 40 percent of respondents indicated that there was a transit route available which they could take to and from work (Figure 3.11). This suggests that Daly City could reduce emissions from commutes by working collaboratively with (BART, Caltrain, SamTrans, VTA) to provide better service for employees. Respondents also indicated that they would be more encouraged to take public transit if (see Figure 3.12) Daly City offered a commuter shuttle (26 percent), improved transit options (24 percent), and subsidized public transit (22 percent). 2005 Daly City Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory 31
