• Abstract:
  In San Francisco twelve major institutions got together to try to reduce auto parking and traffic impacts by promoting ride sharing, improved public and private transit, supportive parking management policies, innovative marketing and joint cooperation between institutions. The Joint Institutional Transportation Systems Management (JITSM) Program, as it is called, resulted in a reduction from 57 percent to 49 percent in the number of drive-alone employees, and an increase of 30 percent in the number of employees who were ride sharing (p. 54). Initiated in 1977, the participating institutions included colleges, hospitals, and a private employer. Many of these groups had run into citizen opposition to their growth or expansion, due to traffic congestion and parking shortages, demolition associated with building, and the sheer scale of their facilities. To help alleviate their problems, the organization established the Joint Institutional TSM Program. Each participating organization signed a formal letter of agreement, with the participation of their top management, designating a transportation broker responsible for implementing the program. The San Francisco City Planning Department also designated a project manager, serving as staff to the institutional group and responsible for technical development of the effort.
