Anderson Name Title Executive Director Title Address 425 South Cherry Street, Suite 750 Address City, State, ZIP Denver, CO 80246 City, State, ZIP Phone 303.472.0639 Phone Email stuart@transolutions.org Email 1. Project Title Access Cherry Creek/Access Colorado Boulevard 2. Primary Project Type (select one) Indicate which project type is your primary focus and majority of budget (>50%): Non-infrastructure (marketing, outreach, transit passes, etc.) Infrastructure (permanently installed, vehicles, bicycle parking, etc.) Applicant is committed to have a maintenance plan in place for the proposed infrastructure. 3. Project Description (concise abstract limited to 500 characters) Access Cherry Creek and Access Colorado Boulevard, one program with two brand identities, is an initiative built around demonstrated best practices for targeted retail, hospitality and service employee outreach and assistance. The proposed program would educate, motivate and reward new non-sov travelers working at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, Cherry Creek North shopping district and Colorado Boulevard/Glendale retail and hospitality businesses. 4. Project Overview (limited to 1,500 characters) Describe your project and what it is going to do. Do not include background information or justification language. Retail, hospitality and service employees desire assistance with their commute. This program specifically addresses their needs in a manner consistent with best practitices from similar projects nationally such as the award winning Access Tysons program in Virginia. The project has three phases: - Educate - Through the use of social media, QR codes and targeted flyers individuals will be invited to particiate in the program. Employers will be solicited through partner organizations such as the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, CCNBID and Glendale Chamber of Commerce along with door-to-door outreach to smaller retail businesses in the Transportation Solutions service area. Unique tactics will be developed that address critical factors unique to retail, hospitality and services employees. - Motivate - Targeted incentives, including a mix of free transit passes, badges, prize drawings and other similar offerings create an enticing environment to try shared and non motorized forms of travel to and from work. Additionally, connections to child care facilities will be created for service employees with young families. - Maintain - The program will use the newly developed gamification tool from Way To Go for engaging participation over an extended period of time. If participation can be maintained for three months most participants will continue to use the new travel Page 1

mode longer term. Other free gamification tools could be used should Way To Go's tool not be available. 5. Project Innovation Briefly describe any innovative features of the proposed project. Example: Project elements haven t been implemented in the region. A large scale retail, hospitality and service employee TDM program has never been implemented in the Denver region. However, similar initiatives offer ideas for furthering the success of the project. Examples both locally and nationally demonstrate a high success rate in shifting retail/hospitality employees into shared and non-motorized travel modes. J.W. Marriott in Cherry Creek was able to get over 90% of their service employees on transit through targeted subsidies and incentives funded through a building assessment during the first five years after opening. Another local example is at Quebec Square, efforts led by the Stapleton Foundation/TMA were successful in achieving a 60% transit usage rate for all Walmart employees. And nationally, the award winning Access Tysons program, serving the Tysons Corner Center Shopping Center in Virginia demonstrated a high success rate with shopping center employees in encouraging transit, bicycling, walking and other alternative modes as well as providing customers with better access with improved transit and information. Local leaders in Tysons Corner see the program as transformative in shifting an auto-oriented suburban shopping center into a multimodal urban village. http://accesstysons.com/ Innovative features include: - Using social media and QR codes for reaching potential participants - Pairing individuals who carpool when shifting schedules - Applying gamification to retail operations - Creating connections to childcare centers in disadvantaged neighborhoods where many of the service employees reside - Employing a Multiple Account Evaluation methodology for evaluation addressing factors such a vehicle miles reduce along with economic impacts, social justice and the environment (first developed by Oregon Metro last year) - Conducting door-to-door retail outreach coupled with motivational interviewing (shown to achieve nearly 3x the results as traditional outreach techniques) - Using intercept surveying to engage individuals on the street who may not be addressed through traditional employer and employee surveying. This is in addition to using the Way To Go employer and employee surveys both pre- and postimplementation - Developing a scalable interactive map that can focus in on key areas both at the home and work ends of the trip similar to the application developed by King County Metro for their In Motion program. The map could include vanpool routes and availability along with transit, bike routes and other transportation options in our region (to be developed in close cooperation with Way To Go staff to ensure that our efforts are not duplicative). 6. Project Tasks List and briefly describe (below) the specific key tasks you will complete in order to successfully implement and finish your project. (Tasks will be referenced in Section F Timeline) Task # Task Description Task 1: (required) Task 2. Calculation and Compilation of Project Results. Detailed work plan, brand development and support marketing materials and tools Establish procedures for obtaining before and after travel habit information from participants. Conduct pre- and/or post-surveys or implement routine tracking procedures. (Details of methodology to be provided in Question #18) A plan will be prepared with specific details regarding the design, implementation and monitoring of the program. The brand identity for the program will be created around the names Access Cherry Creek and Access Colorado Boulevard. Templates will be developed for flyer, web-based promotions, QR Codes and other related materials. A limited amount of promotional items (such as pens) will be designed and purchased (note: that RTD funding for similar products will be used in addition what is covered as part of the grant). Co-promotional opportunities will be identified in the initial phase as part of an effort to secure merchant tie-ins for prizes. The team will work with DRCOG staff and contractor to adapt the gamification tool to a Page 2

Task 3: Task 4: Workshops Program Implementation FY 2016 and 2017 DRCOG TDM Pool retail context. And a contractor will be solicated to develop the interactive mapping tool. Three workshops will be conducted at the time of the public launch (May/June 2016). The workshops will be one-hour each and will be designed to inform employer representatives and/or employee transportation coordinators about the program as well as how to design a trip reduction program at their workplace. One additional workshop will be conducted one year later for additional employer representatives signing on to the program in the second year. Lastly, four scholorships to the Transit Alliance Academy will be offered to community/business leaders interested in becoming a longer term transit and TDM advocate in the area. The scholorships would be applied to the 2017 Academy. The program will be publicly launched in May/June 2016 and continue through October 2017. The implementation period will have two periods of intensive outreach: beginning of Ozone Season in the Spring of 2016 and 2017, and prior to the holiday season in Fall 2016. The following activities are proposed and will be detailed further in Task 2. These include: - Email blasts, tenant newsletters, flyers in both English and Spanish, QR Codes and three promotional events: 1 in Cherry Creek, 1 in Glendale and 1 for businesses along Colorado Boulevard. - A door-to-door outreach effort will be conducted with smaller retail operations - Tailored outreach for large retail (i.e., Target) Following outreach to the businesses, the team will engage individuals through invitations to the gamification tool. Site specifc promotional events will be conducted (20 total). Flyers will be distributed at childcare facilities in disadvantaged neighborhoods where large clusters of employees for the study area live. Promotional efforts will include information about available carshare and bikeshare offerings. Efforts will be made to address the issue of participants not having credit cards to register for these services. Once people have registered in the system - most communication will be through smart phones. Access Tysons reports a significant increase in the use of smart phones for receiving transportation information. A study showed that initially over half of the participants in their program use their smart phones for accessing transportation related information and this has since increased to about 3/4 of the participants. QR Code complement the use of the smart phone and have been shown to offer quick registration to the program. Employer services will be offered: - small retailer will be educated during the door-to-door outreach - large establishments such as hotels and big box retail will be offered assistance in designing a comprehensive trip reduction program and tied to enterprise benefits - Medium sized businesses such as restaurants and some retail will be provided with implementation materials and advisory assistance Efforts will be made to use all forms of on-line media to communicate with employers. Individuals will join the gamfication tool and thus, most communication would be through the related blog, twitter account and intranet emails. Page 3

Paper copies will also be provided for businesses and individuals who have limited access to the internet and smart phones. A variety of activities will take place through the gamification tool: - competition between individuals and businesses - spot promotions and rewards - engaging blog comments (the blog makes it fun for individuals, but the system adminstrator has to keep information current and highlight provocative messages that invite further participation - this was very effective in a gamification campaign with Intuit Corporation in California) - other creative methods will be explored in Task 2 that may be employed at this phase of the project An ambassador program will be established wherein enthusiastic individuals will be invited to bring more users to the system. With the right incentives and recognition, these ambassador have been shown to bring in as many as 60 additional individuals - building off the value of "word of mouth" messaging Task 5: Task 6: Task 7: Task 8: Task 9: Task 10: Final Report N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A After the completion of the final employer, employee and intercept surveys, a final report will be assembled to document all activities and results obtained from the project. The report will include results related to the establish Multiple Account Evaluation methodology which will address factors including: vehicle miles reduced, emissions reduced, economic impacts, social justice and other environmental factors to be determined at the beginning of the project. B. PROJECT TRAITS 7. What is the geographic target area (overall and/or specific sites) for the project? Is there anything unique about this geographic area? Provide a map of the service area noting specific sites if applicable. The three work end locations addressed in this project are: Cherry Creek, Glendale and Colorado Boulevard between Alameda Avenue and Evans Avenue. Please see map on page 14 for an outline of the project area within the boundaries of Transportation Solutions. Key sub-areas with unique characteristics include the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District: small retail boutiques, hotels, banks and restaurants; Cherry Creek Shopping Center with select large anchor stores along with medium and small retail; Glendale with retail/restaurant sites such as City Set, along with big box retail such as Target, Home Depot, Sports Authority and others. Colorado Boulevard offers mulitple shopping plazas, hotels, chain restaurants and big box. 8. Non-local government applicants are required to submit a letter of support from the applicable local government (s) where the project is located. Please confirm you have met/corresponded with the local jurisdiction(s) where your project is located and attach the letter of support. Yes, I confirm and have provided letter(s) of support. N/A Applicant is a local government. 9. Who is your target audience? Are there any unique demographic or socioeconomic traits of your target population? The target audience for this program is retail, hospitality and services employees. Together there are approximately 21,000 workers in these industries in the proposed study area. An approximate break down by area is: 2,500 Cherry Creek Shopping Page 4

Center; 3,500 Cherry Creek North; 5,000 in Glendale; and 10,000 along Colorado Boulevard (excluding Glendale). An additional seasonal workforce in the last quarter of each year brings over 1,000 additional workers to the area. The Cherry Creek Shopping Center has up to 3,000 total employees during the last quarter (Holiday season) What makes this initiative most effective is going directly to the employment groups that are most cost sensitive and desire cost reducing travel options. The study area offers unique characteristics that invite such a campaign. For example, in Cherry Creek North (CCN) the average income of office workers was $140,300 in 2013 (Colorado Department of Labor and Employment). The majority of these workers are in the financial industry and the majority have historically preferred driving to work alone (3,100 workers). However, retail, hospitality and service workers in CCN made an average of $27,800 in 2013 (3,500 workers). These individuals desire assistance whether their employer recognizes the need or not. Office workers are welcome to join the program, but are a secondary market and are not targeted in the promotional campaigns. The secondary market accounts for approximately 12,000 additional jobs in the project area. 10. Will you be specifically reaching out to any minority or low-income population groups or areas? Yes No If yes, please describe. Retail, hospitality and service employees are often coming from disadvantage neighborhoods. Three home-end areas for individuals working in the project area include: East Colfax, West Denver (i.e., Westwood area) and the Leetsdale/Parker Corridor in Denver/Aurora. Additionally, there are large numbers of retail employees living in the Capitol Hill and North Capitol Hill areas. 11. When will you be ready to start the project? Describe any unique logistical aspects of getting the project started and implemented. The proposed project start date is February 1, 2016. Three month are needed prior to launching the initiative to prepare the approach, materials and partnerships. The public launch would be April/May 2016. 12. Will your project be timed or linked with a major roadway construction project? Yes No If yes, which project, and describe the linkage? (e.g., promoting non-sov travel modes during construction period) No roadway construction mitigation projects are currently planned. However, mitigation efforts will complement two large construction projects in the study area including: Glendale 180 and Colorado Center. City/County of Denver have also welcomed this project as a means of enhancing the functionality of the current 1 st Avenue and Steele Street Intersection Improvement Project. Specifically, this effort would target peak period commuting wherein the 1 st Avenue and Steele Street Intersection is at capacity. 13. Transit service relation Will your project be timed or linked to a new major transit project? If yes, what transit project, and describe the linkage? Yes No The timing of this project aligns with the Speer/1 st Avenue/Leetsdale Study and the proposed Colorado Boulevard BRT study. Additionally, stakeholders are examining methods for creating stronger transit connection from downtown Denver to Cherry Creek and Glendale. Transportation Solutions has a pending grant application with CDOT for addressing connections to the new Bustang service with longer regional connections. For non-infrastructure projects: Will your project promote or incentivize new or existing transit? Yes No If yes, please explain. Transit is the primary alternative option to driving alone to work. This program will focus on specific corridors that include the following existing RTD services: Route 1, 40, 42, 46, 83L and Bustang. Additionally, if BRIDJ or similar demand responsive private transit emerges during the period of this project, relevant services will be included as part of the project. For infrastructure projects types: Will your project support transit by providing a direct link to transit or by providing multimodal connectivity or support to transit? Yes No Page 5

If yes, please explain. 14. List any organization that is a financial (cash or in-kind) partner with you in this project. Is the partnership currently in place? Please explain. A letter of commitment must be provided by each financial partner. Yes. Transportation Solutions has four financial partners (cash): Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District ($12,500), City of Glendale ($12,500), Zocalo Community Development (TBD) and the Cherry Creek Shopping Center (TBD). While the CCSC has pledge $12,500 for the project, we will count it as $0 in this application since they won't commit until they know the outcome of this application. Total confirmed cash contribution $25,000. The remaining cash match is to be taken from general membership dues. TS collects more than $120,000 in membership dues annually so TS will designate $13,315 in 2016 and $13,315 in 2017 for the remaining match. Together the total cash match is $51,630. 15. Describe how you will collaborate with (or your project will link to) Way to Go s TDM efforts. (All applicants are required to meet with Way to Go staff to determine potential opportunities to collaborate on projects in some capacity prior to submitting your application.) Transportation Solutions is a Way To GO partner organization. Project staff will coordinate with DRCOG staff for surveying, use of gamification tool, workshop support and general outreach techniques. We hope that through the efforts of this project, we can work with Way To GO staff in coordinated outreach. For example, Whole Foods Cherry Creek is supportive of this project and would likely be committed to TDM in other parts of the region beyond the TS service boundaries. In working with Way To Go staff, we hope to enhance the gamification tool to be more functional in our area, and thus, for other areas in the region. Our partnership with Way To Go is critical to the success of this project and we look forward to a continuing strong relationship with staff and management. Ken Boden, Way To Go was consulted prior to this application and he provided guidance on aspects of our partnering. C. PROJECT BENEFITS SOV TRIP and VMT REDUCTION POTENTIAL The CMAQ program supports two important goals of the U.S. Department of Transportation: improving air quality and relieving congestion. The TDM Pool is focused on the reduction of SOV trips and associated VMT reduction. The project review panel will consider the reliability of assumptions listed in Question 16 and the clarity of the justifications. Upon project completion, all project awardees must calculate benefits (trips reduced and VMT reduced) as part of their project evaluations in order to receive final reimbursements for their projects. Example procedures for tracking project benefits include: Before and after (pre- and post-) surveys of project participants travel habits On-going tracking (e.g., web-based) of participant travel habits from the time they join (e.g., My Way to Go tool) Post- project reporting of RTD transit ridership changes on specific routes. If you need assistance, contact DRCOG staff. Example methodologies to predict benefits will be available on the DRCOG website. 16. Trip and VMT reduction potential a) The following project attributes will lead to a reduction of single occupant vehicle (SOV) trips and vehicle miles of travel (VMT). Provide a number and justification for each applicable project attribute listed below (Provide attachments where necessary). Project Area Attributes Amount Justification Source of data 1) Residents and employees you expect to reach or contact 21,000 primary market 12,000 secondary Employment numbers by industry type Combined data for 1. Data reported from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and CCNBID. Including data from 2013 from the Colorado Page 6

2) Residents and employees you expect to participate (e.g., sign up, register, receive passes, become members, etc.) 3) Current percent of residents driving alone to work 4) Current percent of workplace employees driving alone to work market 12,000 primary 2,400 secondary retail, service, wholesalers and others that makeup the hospitality, retail and service industry in the project area. Based on data from Access Tysons over 60% of hospitality, retail and service employees were reached with the program. For the secondary market, we've assumed 20% would be reached. This is based on members of the CCNBID and Glendale Chamber of Commerce that will receive all the messaging offered by this project. However, the secondary market is not one that we will actively pursue independently, it is based on partner commitments to include all. Department of Labor and Employment 2. City of Glendale data 3. Estimated employment numbers for Colorado Boulevard divided by percentage by industry (excluding Glendale). Colorado Department of Labor and Employment Data obtained from UrbanTrans North America for the Access Tyson program. The number is based on people reached. For those that actually change modes, Access Tysons had 11% more alternative mode users than the control group. 82 % Census 2010 The focus on this project is employees working in the project area, not residents in the area. Glendale is the only area with a high concentation of hospitality, retail and service employees residing. Representing almost 6,000 residents. Of which about 1/4 work locally mostly in retail. Information obtained from the City of Glendale 82 % Census This number will be refined as part of the baseline assessment should the project get awarded. Page 7

Program will be active: 240 days per year for 2 years or B. Facility will be available: days per year for years 7) Other: Summer Campaigns 90 days per year Ozone season 8) Other pertinent information that supports the attributes provided above (past results, unique project team skills, case studies/research based on similar project types, etc.). Targeted campaigns designed to reach hospitality, retail and service employees have demonstrated a higher than average adoption than other worker categories. As stated previously data from J. W. Marriott, Walmart Stapleton and Access Tysons was used in preparing our estimates for the project. b) (Optional) If desired, you may calculate an estimate of number trips reduced, and/or the VMT reduced as a result of this project. The estimates can be for an average day, or for a year. Provide an explanation of how you calculated the estimates, including formulas and all specific assumptions below, or in an attachment. Trip Reduction Estimate: VMT Reduction Estimate: 17. Has your organization been awarded funds in recent DRCOG TDM Pool cycles? FY 2012/2013 Cycle Project? Yes No Project name: Leetsdale If yes, was the project completed? Yes No Are the annualized VMT reduction results reported for this project from the Result Tracking Table the best available? Yes No If no, please provide updated information: FY 2014/2015 Cycle Project? Yes No Project name: Station Area PTP Do you believe your project will meet the level of VMT reduction predicted in the original application? Yes. Briefly describe progress made on specific implementation tasks: The first summer campaign achieved 40% of the two year target. The 2015 summer campaign was launched on June 8, 2015 and to date approximately 240 individuals have made pledges to switching to a non-sov mode for a minimum of 6 days this summer. With both new techniques and new partners we feel confident that we can achieve double the results obtained previously and we aspire to achieving 120% of our goal. 18. Related to Task 1 in Question #6, describe the procedures for how you plan to calculate and compile actual post-project results. (At a minimum, project awardees must conduct a survey, capturing pre- and post-travel habits of project participants to determine results.) Most participants will hopefully be entering weekly travel information through the gamification tool. Employers with no internet access will be offered paper surveys in both English and Spanish. A comprehensive employer, employee and intercept survey is being conducted in 2015. That survey will be repeated in late 2017 and offer another source of data for project performance. Page 8

Surveys will assess pre- and post-travel habits of project participants. FY 2016 and 2017 DRCOG TDM Pool The measures of success will go beyond trips and miles reduced. Through a Multiple Account Evaluation methodology, similar to one currently used in Portland,OR to measure TDM performance, environmental, social justice and economic development will be assessed based on available data. In cooperation with the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, CCNBID and the City of Glendale which currently gather information regarding spending, recruitment and retention and other factors that measure economic performance will be used. Social justice will be assessed through helping travelers from disadvantaged neighborhoods. Two areas have significant data, in part, through the efforts of Mile High Connects. These areas include west Denver and East Colfax. Less data is available for the Leetsdale Corridor, however, data gathered through the upcoming Speer/1 st Avenue/Leetsdale study will complement our evalution, including social equity of commuting into the project area. Up to 20 participating employers will be interviewed at the end of the project to determine value of the program to both the employer and employees, ways to maintain participation and other factors that both enhance and maintain participation.
