transportation demand management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) refers to strategies aimed at reducing the demand for road space and improving the efficiency of transportation systems. This can include promoting alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle use, such as public transit, carpooling, and biking. TDM initiatives often focus on changing travel behavior through incentives, education, and infrastructure improvements.
TDM can help alleviate traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance overall mobility. By encouraging people to use different modes of transportation, cities can create a more sustainable and efficient transportation network. Effective TDM programs often involve collaboration between government agencies, businesses, and the community.
