The report reviews actions taken in North American cities in the past 10 years to reduce traffic congestion by managing transportation demand rather than expanding the supply of highways or transit services. Some of the actions have been implemented only in suburban areas, while many are now in use in the business districts of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and other major cities. Application of these actions to the unique characteristics of Manhattan and New York City is considered. The three major components of a traffic mitigation strategy are parking management, employer promotion of transit use, and developer and employer incentives and ordinances. The initiatives with the most promise appear to be alternative work hours programs, policies to reduce long-term parking downtown, preferential parking at line haul transportation facilities, expanded employer promotion of transit, brokerage and transportation management associations, and employer traffic reduction ordinances.
