FAQ: What is Transportation Demand Management (TDM)?
TDM refers to transportation strategies designed to maximize the capability of the transportation system by increasing the number of persons in a vehicle, increasing transit ridership, or influencing the time of (or need to) travel. TDM relies on incentives or disincentives to make changes in travel behavior. (DCMR 10-A414).
