The Context: Transportation is always changing…
The costs of automobile reliance has soared.
Revenue sources for financing transportation projects are limited.
What is Travel Demand Management?Managing travel demand is about
providing travelers, regardless whether they drive alone, with travel choices, such as work location, route, time of travel and mode. (FHWA, 2006)
As we are unable to build roads fast enough to accommodate growth and demand, travel demand management begins to play a more vital role in congestion reduction, safety and overall system preservation. (RAPC TDM Proposal, 2010)
