Title: EUROPEAN EXAMPLES OF TDM/MOBILITY MANAGEMENT: GETTING THE MOST FROM TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT
Abstract: Travel Demand Management (TDM) has been an integral part of many U.S. region's response to congestion, air quality and mobility problems. TDM came into its own in the 1970s during the energy crises as federal regulations allowed for the use of highway funds for ridesharing programs. Twenty-five years later, TDM has become an integral part of the management and operations of the transportation system in most urban areas, as a tool to reduce the demand for additional capacity. Beginning approximately ten years ago, interest in TDM has blossomed in many European countries. This paper summarizes some of the significant European and national projects to test various Mobility Management concepts and assess their transferability to other cities and situations. The intent of this paper is to introduce some of the initiatives through a quick scan and provide examples of the types of TDM strategies being tested and implemented within each initiative or country.
