Transportation Demand Management

Transportation Demand Management

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a wide range of policies, programs, services and products that influence how, why, when and where people travel to create a more sustainable transportation network. The objectives are to encourage individuals to:

  • change modes of transportation (walk, cycle, take transit or carpool instead of driving alone),
  • travel less (telework, link several purposes in one trip), or
  • change trip times or routes (choose off-peak hours or less congested roads).
