RESPONDING TO CONGESTION AND TRAFFIC GROWTH: TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT. 1992 REPRINT

Geneviève Giuliano, Martín Wachs

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Transportation demand management (TDM) has emerged as a policy of choice for responding to growth and traffic congestion problems. TDM is aimed at reducing congestion by reducing or restricting travel demand, rather than by providing more transportation facilities. It includes strategies such as shifting solo drivers to carpools or transit, allowing more employees to work at home, or adjusting work schedules to avoid peak period auto travel. This report discusses the development of TDM policy, presents examples of TDM efforts, and evaluates the potential role of TDM in growth management policy.
