    The federal transportation reauthorization called ; Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act ; (MAP-21) creates a program that addresses many ; challenges facing the U.S. transportation system. ; These challenges include improving safety, ; maintaining infrastructure condition, improving ; effi ciency of the system and freight movement, ; protecting the environment, reducing project ; delivery delays, and reducing traffi c congestion. ; Regarding the reduction of traffi c congestion, the ; law charges USDOT to establish metrics by which ; to evaluate performance toward achieving ; transportation demand management (TDM) goals. ; However, the TDM industry lacks performance ; measures and standard data collection procedures ; to assess the effectiveness of service delivery. ; The industry also lacks a consistent method for ; calculating a wide range of societal benefi ts ; resulting from managing transportation demand. ; Consequently, without consistent methods to ; measure performance and to calculate benefi ts, it ; is not possible for the TDM community to ; demonstrate progress in reducing congestion so as ; to be considered for local, state or federal ; funding.
