Any development that has an office component greater than 25,000 square feet of total gross leasable floor area of space shall develop a Transportation Management Plan (TMP). The bureau of buildings shall not issue occupancy permits for any development in this district until such time as the developer or leasing agent for each of the components has submitted evidence to the director of the bureau of planning that a TMP has been prepared.

In the alternative, an independent TMP shall be submitted which meets the following criteria:

The independent TMP shall contain strategies to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips generated by the project and shall be based on an annual commute mode survey. Said survey shall be based on a continuous five-day workweek for all estimated employees arriving at the work site between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. Based upon the survey information, the employer shall develop a TMP which should include any of the following:
