Hacienda is presently home to approximately 20,000 employees and residents, many of whom commute into the park from surrounding cities. Because of the high volume of commuters, a variety of transportation links with outlying areas have been developed to connect park users with destinations at or near their place of business. The following is an overview of the park's current program contained within a review of the various transportation alternatives available to Hacienda users. 

In 1984, the developers of Hacienda entered into cooperative discussions with the City of Pleasanton to develop a plan that would control traffic congestion in the newly developed 854 acre park. These discussions resulted in an ordinance aimed at reducing traffic congestion. Under this ordinance, Hacienda was required to oversee park tenant participation to make sure that they were in compliance with the new traffic reduction requirements. The development also coordinated park-wide programs that would aid companies in meeting ordinance goals. Compliance assistance strategies consisted of a free commuter shuttle, carpool and vanpool coordination, development of on-site amenities to assist in the promotion of transportation alternatives and various information campaigns. 

In 1994, amendments were made to the city ordinance to allow the City of Pleasanton the ability to receive delegation of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Regulation 13-1 and to meet requirements imposed by the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency. The amended ordinance required businesses with 50 or more employees, who begin work between the hours of 6:00 - 10:00 a.m., to meet both congestion management and vehicle reduction goals. Specifically, businesses were asked to achieve an average vehicle ridership of 1.35 persons per car by 1998 and reduce peak hour traffic by 45%. 

As noted, Hacienda developed TSM measures that would aid park businesses in meeting city's congestions management objectives. Hacienda's Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions authorize the park to administer, coordinate and enforce transportation requirements. To do this, a comprehensive transportation program was initiated on Hacienda. Since 1985, the Association has continuously provided services to park users to help them realize their individual goals and thus help the city to achieve its goals. The services provided have changed with time to both meet the changing needs of the park population and to insure the highest cost benefit. 

In 1995, with passage of the Lewis Bill, mandatory Transportation Management requirements could no longer be required of employers by government agencies. Because of Hacienda's longstanding commitment to the goals of transportation management, incentive programs to encourage the use of transportation alternatives have continued voluntarily employing the same successful and award-winning approach utilized under the mandatory program.
