Transportation Demand Management. Training document

Content:
  • Cities in developing countries need innovative and effective solutions to solve their transportation problems in the short, medium and long term. Increased economic growth, coupled with a resulting increase in motorization in recent years, has created greater congestion than has ever been seen in the world. Solutions to these problems are possible, not only through improvement of conditions of public transport and conditions for pedestrians and bicycle users, but also in the implementation of measures which promote a rational use of the automobile by means of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) instruments such as those described in this document.

    This Training Manual is organized as a resource to support comprehensive TDM strategy, help identify appropriate demand management measures, and build stakeholder support.

    Section 1 discusses the transport challenges facing developing countries and potential role that TDM measures can play in addressing these problems;
    Section 2 gives a theoretical background and defines important TDM concepts and terms;
    Section 3 describes ways to improve efficient transportation options, including walking, cycling, ridesharing, public transport and telecommunications that substitutes for physical travel;
    Section 4 describes various incentives that encourage the use of efficient mobility options;
    Section 5 describes smart growth land use policies that create more accessible, multi-modal communities.
