The draft Transportation Demand Management Innovations Fund Grant guidelines, criteria, and application are available for your review and comment. The goal of the TDM Innovations Grant Program is to fund new and innovative projects and activities that implement TDM strategies that reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel and ultimately improve regional air quality and/or reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Projects and activities funded through this program must be consistent with the vision of the Sacramento Region Blueprint and support the implementation of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS).
