Travel demand management (TDM) is a key tool to reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel as well as facilitate mobility options for area residents. It increases the efficiency of the transportation system through the promotion and facilitation of alternative modes of travel such as ridesharing, vanpooling, transit, bicycling, and walking.
| Regional Travel Demand Management Strategic Plan |
The Regional Travel Demand Management (TDM) Strategic Plan expands upon the TDM sections of the 2030 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan. It will help to guide future expenditures of funds for TDM efforts.
Travel demand management is a key tool to reduce single-occupant-vehicle travel as well as facilitate mobility options for area residents. It increases the efficiency of our transportation system through the promotion and facilitation of alternative modes of travel such as ridesharing, vanpooling, transit, bicycling, and walking. TDM promotes alternative work schedules and telecommuting, which can shift and reduce demand on our transportation system. TDM also focuses on land use planning and infrastructure improvements that better accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users.
