Abstract:Abstract This report provides an assessment of the impact of areawide applications of various classes of TSM actions. Individual Transportation System Management actions are grouped into four classes, according to their impact on transportation supply and travel demand. For each of these classes, computations are performed to determine how a major multi-year program applying these actions would affect the area's vehicle miles traveled and vehicle hours traveled. The results will serve to help local areas in developing appropriate transportation measures for use in local TSM plans as required by DOT regulations and SIPs as mandated, by the Environmental Protection Agency. The second portion of the document contains six working papers describing experience with and impacts of some of the major TSM actions. The appendix explains the development of the methodology that led to the findings in this report. TSM actions include a wide range of transportation improvements from basis traffic engineering to a variety of transit improvements, parking strategies, and pricing proposals. Under DOT regulations, urban areas with population greater than 50,000 are required to develop TSM plans that document their strategy for improving air quality, conserving energy, and increasing the efficiency of the overall transportation system.
