Greetings from North America!

The U.S. EPA's Office of Mobile Sources has a "Way to Go" program that
honors communities and businesses that implement effective TDM programs.
For information see their website at
http://www.epa.gov/orcdizux/transp/comchoic/waytogo.htm. I didn't see any
specific evaluation criteria but it should be available from program
managers. The Office of Mobile Sources website has lots of other useful
information on demand management, including a database of successful
programs.
