Every new major project controller and any existing project controller or major project controller who expands his work force from base-line employment by 20 percent or more and who, after expansion, employs 50 or more employees at a common work location, shall facilitate the tenants' or employees' use of an area-wide ridesharing program by:

a. Publicizing the availability of public transportation,

b. Communicating employee or tenant transportation needs to the transportation coordinator,

c. Assisting employees or tenants in forming carpools or vanpools,

d. Maintaining a current employee and/or tenant transportation profile showing the distribution of employees and tenants by transportation mode,

(2) Sacramento Rideshare Program. Using the Sacramento Rideshare Program, or an equivalent independent matching service;

(3) Parking Facilities. Establish preferential parking facilities for carpools and vanpools, and provide parking for bicycles as follows:

a. Preferential Parking. If a major project controller provides or subsidizes off-street parking facilities or spaces to any employee or tenant for the parking of motor vehicles used primarily for commuting between place of residence and the common work location or employment site, such major project controller shall provide guaranteed parking spaces for each carpool and vanpool in which its tenants or its employees participate, under more favorable terms and conditions than are afforded to parking of single-occupant motor vehicles. Parking spaces assigned to exclusive carpool or vanpool use shall be so designated with appropriate signing or pavement markings. Such parking shall be made available on request of any carpool or vanpool to the major project controller's ridesharing coordinator,

b. Bicycle Parking Facilities. Bicycle parking facilities which will accommodate the parking and securing of bicycles shall be made available at the request of any tenant or employee whose primary mode of commuting is by bicycle, made to the major project controller's ridesharing coordinator.
