WHAT DOES TDM DO?

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) refers to strategies, programs, or policies designed to reduce drive-alone trips and enable the transportation system to function more effectively and efficiently through alternative transportation options.

BIKING

Biking is one of the few zero-emission-emitting modes of transportation. It provides not only physical, but mental well-being, and can save people money if they bike opposed to drive alone. GVF can generate a customized map identifying trails and low-stress streets accessible to your worksite making it easier for people to choose this alternative. Contact GVF to learn more!

CARPOOLING

Organized or casual carpooling, typically include 1- 2 passengers in addition to a driver, Co-workers ride together to a similar area on similar schedules. A personal vehicle is used to run a carpool.  Carpooling saves you money through reduced fuel costs, tolls, decreased vehicle wear and tear, and the stress of driving. Carpooling improves the environment by reducing the number of cars on the road resulting in less air pollution and congestion. Contact GVF to learn more!

SHUTTLES

Shuttles provide job access to and from area train stations or other areas designated by an employer, increase community mobility, and reduce single-occupancy vehicles on our roadways.

VANPOOLING

Many employers consider vanpools a cost-effective way to keep employees from driving alone. Vanpools carry from seven to fifteen passengers. Vanpools typically operate on weekdays, traveling between pick-up locations and the workplace. Pricing varies based on the size of the van, the round-trip distance, and the type of equipment in the van. Amenities could include onboard Wi-fi, luxury seats, and bike racks.

Compared to the cost of driving long distances alone, vanpooling will save on average 50-75%. (Enterprise Rideshare FAQ) Contact GVF to learn more!

WALKING

Walking to a destination costs nothing, admits zero emissions, and promotes physical health. Consider your general health and the route when deciding if this alternative suits you. Typically, most walkers travel about two miles one-way to a destination. Remember, if you are unable to walk the whole route, you can always walk to a public transit stop. Contact GVF to learn more!

WORK FROM HOME

Telecommuting is a work arrangement that allows an employee to work during any part of regular paid hours at an approved alternative worksite (i.e., at home). Now is the time to create a comprehensive, formal, telework policy and GVF is here to help. Contact GVF to learn more!
