Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management
The mission of the TDM program is to reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled by implementing cost-effective and innovative programs, services, projects, strategies, and policies that encourage and enable people to change their travel behavior. This mission, and the goals below, were developed through the TDM strategic planning process in 2016. The three major goals of the program are to:
1. Leverage existing and new partnerships to maximize technological opportunities, raise awareness of programs/services, and offer improved and new cost-effective programs/services that support alternative mode use and behavior change;
2. Better integrate TDM with planning and project delivery both to improve the land use/transportation planning process and promote new multimodal infrastructure when it is completed; and
3. Collect and analyze data to make smart investments that focus on long-term behavior change.
Get on Your Bike
May is Bike Month makes cycling fun
April 26, 2019: May is coming – and with it, the Sacramento region’s annual May is Bike Month campaign. Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and longer days to join your friends, neighbors, and co-workers in their commitment to bicycling to work, school, errands, or for recreation or training this May. This is the 15th year that people throughout the Sacramento region are working together to opt for their bike pedals over the gas pedal, get some fresh air and exercise, and take cars off the road for all kinds of trips.
