City of Ramsey <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />Transportation Element <br /> <br />Refer those interested in ridesharing programs should be directed to Anoka County <br />Traveller and/or MCTO and distribute information on available programs at the City <br />Offices. <br /> <br />Pursue the bus transit recommendations identified above to study the feasibility of: 1) <br />extending limited, fixed route services into Ramsey from the City of Anoka and 2) <br />future park-and-ride lots within the City. <br /> <br />Adopt a Travel Management Ordinance that would apply to new developments, <br />particularly along TH 10 and other congested areas. The ordinance would describe <br />bonuses for new business developments in highly congested corridors to encourage <br />implementation of strategies to reduce travel demand: <br />- Encourage use of transit for employees by taking advantage of Section 132(0 <br /> benefits; $60 per month per employee to use for transit can be claimed as a <br /> business expense. <br />- Adopt staggered work schedules and flex time policies <br /> Coordinate ridesharing for employees <br /> Develop on-site facilities to accommodate convenient transit access <br /> <br />Encourage existing employers who adopt staggered work hour (flex time) programs. <br />These programs allow employees to report to and leave work at non-traditional times <br />and help to reduce work-related, peak hour travel demand on roads. <br /> <br />Provide incentives to property managers who locate transit stops and/or park-and-ride <br />facilities in their parking lots. <br /> <br />Provide incentives to developers who propose higher density, cluster-style residential <br />developments. <br /> <br />Provide incentives to commercial, industrial, and residential developers who include <br />bicycle trails and linkages to the City's bicycle paths in their site plans. <br /> <br />Page 3-32 <br /> <br /> <br />
