Stanford needs to ensure that its expansion projects in redwood city and menlo park add no new trips in those neighboring towns. Stanford has an unneighborly history of moving administrative and other jobs off campus while moving traffic with it. Its oncampus traffic management fears should be measured only when adding in the trips associated with offcampus sites and developments.
Stanford must be pressed to be a better neighbor and community member.
In menlo park, the latest 500 el camino project should be held to zero new trips.

Why should any property owner of vacant property be held to a no new trip requirement?

Should someone who owns a vacant residential property be required to not own a car or to not use UBER?

Sorry. I misstated a request of Stanford; not project-specfic but overall operations. As it grows, it should find ways to reduce trips the university had added as it sublet spaces in san mateo county. With new developments it should be able to consolidate workers more efficiently and reduce or keep level overall stanford-related trips in san mateo county.
Santa clara county can approve university growth with no new trips. Why can't our county?

Stanford has the most successful trip reduction program in the Bay area.

Just look at their overall program:

Who else even comes close to this???

@Peter Carpenter - Stanford has accomplished their trip reduction in part by moving the parking to Palo Alto. People park off campus in residential neighborhoods and bike or take the shuttle to campus. It will be interesting whether the trip reduction holds once the residential parking permits are all in place.

Don't blame Stanford for Palo Alto's failure to properly manage its parking.

Stanford was wise enough to abandon free parking 40 years ago - it is long overdue for Palo Alto to do the same.
