Other recommended actions <br />include coordinate establishment of voluntary transportation management associations in <br />partnership with local businesses, prioritizing the implementation of the City‘s Bicycle and <br />Pedestrian Master Plan and associated improvements, as well as promoting car share in the <br />community, especially in the downtown and BART station areas. <br />Summary of near-term priority actions related to transportation and land use: <br /> Continue to implement Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy <br /> Establish a Transportation Management Association <br /> Create a larger network of safe bike routes <br /> Locate car sharing sites in San Leandro, starting at the San Leandro BART station <br /> Make existing traffic flow more efficiently to reduce the amount of time people spend <br />idling in city traffic by improving the traffic signal system <br />Waste Reduction and Recycling <br />The City is recommended to continue to partner with StopWaste.Org to promote waste <br />reduction and recycling in the community.

Other programs are available in the community, including the Salvation Army for <br />redistribution of large furniture and other objects.
