Abstract:
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.
