Abstract

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a process of developing a plan to maximize transportation system efficiency. Different strategies are used to reduce dependency on single-occupancy vehicles (SOV), including transit, biking, walking, and carpooling. In addition to encouraging the use of alternative forms of transportation, successful TDM plans work to use infrastructure more efficiently by redistributing concentrated rush hour travel demand throughout the day. This guide provides an introduction to TDM for cities, and includes model ordinances and other resources for implementing a TDM policy. This document has been prepared by the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (RCP) for the Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program. This tool was developed from a report completed by University of Minnesota graduate students in partnership with RCP and the City of Minnetonka during the 2012–2013 academic year. Although the original report was developed for a specific community, students’ findings and recommendations have been synthesized and generalized, and additional research has been conducted where necessary, to produce a resource that is relevant to communities throughout Minnesota. The original student report can be found at https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/185388.
