Abstract:Local governments are increasingly turning to Demand Management or Trip Reduction Strategies, Policies and Programs to combat traffic congestion. Utilizing various Policy Instruments, localities are encouraging employers and developers to implement Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Parking Management (PM) strategies. This study reviews experience with TSM and PM through employer case studies and synthesis of suburban demand management literature. It provides recommendations to local government decision makers and planners on strategy effectiveness and implementation, as well as adoption and implementation of demand management or trip reduction policy instruments. Recommendations are offered about when TSM and PM strategies and policies are appropriate; considerations in selecting policy instruments; suggestions on policy design; and guidance on program monitoring, enforcement, management, costs, and timelines. Recommendations for the Federal Government include development of model ordinances, developer agreements, parking codes and guidelines supportive of local policies; changes in tax law on parking subsidies and parking policies for federal employees; support of Transportation Management Association roles in parking management; coordination with air quality regulations; and future research on suburban successes and failures.
