Transportation Demand Management (TDM) uses policies, infrastructure improvements, and programs to make it easier to travel without a vehicle for everyday trips. TDM works with the existing transportation system to expand mobility options and accommodate future growth by effectively managing travel demands of a region through the promotion of biking, walking, scootering, taking transit, carpooling, telecommuting, etc. TDM programs and tools also promote more substantial environmental, health, and community benefits.
