Elements of TDM

• Telework

• Carpools

• Vanpools

• Buses – subscription, ICC, shuttle

• MARC Train

• Metro Rail

• Light Rail

• Walk/Bike

Transportation Demand Management (TDM)

Situation: (peak period – 0700 to 0800 hours) Current gate lane capacity 360/hr: 2 lanes/gate X 5 gates X 360 vehicles = 3,600

Number of vehicles now arriving during peak period ~ 3,900 (300 vehicles over capacity)

No improvements of gates and roadways in near future for lack of funding

Llewellyn Gate was a multi-occupancy vehicle (MOV) gate on a trial basis – was re-evaluated – now one lane at Rockenbach is devoted to MOV traffic – two lanes will be open to all other traffic

Status:Current wait time at some gates ~ 5 to15 minutes

With growth and no TDM this time will only increase

Way Ahead:Implement TDM programs now

Carpool, Vanpool, Buses, MARC Train, Metro, Light Rail, Bicycles, walkCompressed work schedule, Flex schedule, TeleworkUse gate for inbound traffic only from 0600 to 0900

Identify new ways to reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) usage
