Transportation Demand Management initiatives are aimed at reducing the demand for single-occupant car travel at peak periods, shifting travel to non-peak periods and supporting sustainable transportation modes such as walking, cycling, transit, carpooling and teleworking. Transportation Demand Management measures can offer many benefits including reducing traffic congestion, deferring the need for new infrastructure, reducing infrastructure costs, improving access and transportation options, improving air quality, and improving mental and physical health. Funds will be used to support ongoing educational and promotional efforts such as School Travel Planning, Bike to Work Month, Car Free Day, National Ride-Share Week, Travelwise, CAN-BIKE Cycling Education courses, among other initiatives.
