Travel demand management (TDM) is a set of procedures that have been shown to alleviate unlimited use of automobiles. Demand is managed by limiting highway capacity to meet demand to travel by car and providing incentives or disincentives to increase average vehicle occupancy, to change the time and routes of travel, and to shift travel from the auto to transit. The objectives of this project are to: Identify potential TDM elements that would effectively reduce auto travel in the mid-sized urban area with a corridor connecting two urban centers; Evaluate the acceptability of measures by the public, policy makers, and public officials; and Develop and illustrate a method to evaluate the effectiveness of TDM to reduce auto travel for specific areas and projects.
