Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes. Chapter 19 - Employer and Institutional TDM Strategies
TDM (transportation demand management or travel demand management) is a process that can encompass a variety of measures intended to influence travel choices. TDM is used to manage heavy traffic demand and parking requirements, and to enhance the effectiveness of transit services. Employer and institutional TDM actions within the scope of this chapter can be classified into four major categories: employer or institutional support actions, provision of transportation "services," financial incentives or disincentives, and alternative work arrangements. In this chapter, new as well as synthesized research is presented. Using a collection of 82 cases as an analysis platform, the authors evaluate the relative importance of particular categories of TDM strategies (e.g., support versus incentives), and even, to some degree, of particular strategies (e.g., a transit subsidy versus an HOV parking discount), through pair-wise comparisons from the sample. This chapter will be of interest to transit, transportation, and land use planning practitioners; land developers, business associations, employers, institutions, and employees; educators and researchers; and professionals across a broad spectrum of transportation and planning agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and local, state, and federal government agencies.
