Overburdened transportation systems have a dramatic effect on economic development, the environment, and the quality of life for everyone who depends on them. Transportation demand management (TDM) offers planners another tool to reduce the negative consequences of development, most particularly increased traffic congestion and air pollution, while encouraging development where traffic gridlock can be avoided. This report examines TDM policies and programs, the philosophies behind them, and the focus and participation necessary to make TDM work. Four case studies and numerous tables provide a detailed and thorough look at TDM in practice, showing what it can achieve and how to make it work for you.

Travel Demand Management (TDM) describes a wide range of actions that are geared toward improving the efficiency of travel demand. There is much controversy and speculation as to the strength, role, and validity of TDM solutions. This uncertainty has probably led to misunderstandings of the role and potential of TDM, and therefore, a lower yield from TDM approaches than appears to be possible. This report is the main product of a study that was sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration to try to set the facts straight and provide the most comprehensive, accurate, and useable guidance on TDM. The report provides a set of materials, statistics, guides and tools that should be of significant value in not only increasing the basic understanding of what TDM is, but on how to design and evaluate programs which will deliver the optimal that these strategies can offer.
