[sustran] GTZ Training course on Transportation Demand Management at BAQ 2010, Singapore

[SUTP Team]

*One Day Training Course on “Transportation Demand Management” a 
Post-Event to the BAQ 2010, Singapore*

Transportation Demand Management (TDM), also called Travel Demand 
Management, aims to maximize the efficiency of urban transport systems 
by discouraging unnecessary private vehicle use and promoting more 
effective, healthy and environment-friendly modes of transport, namely 
public transport and non-motorised transport.

Various cities in the developing world are grappling with the situation 
of increasing motorisation. In such a position TDM offers favourable 
measures to tackle the problem. The TDM measures can be broadly 
classified into "PUSH" and "PULL" measures. These measures include the 
design related changes, improving public transport, non-motorised 
transport and also economic instruments.

In an effort to increase the awareness on TDM among the various 
stakeholders in transport especially the policy makers in developing 
cities, the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) along with LTA Academy, 
Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA), and the Clean Air 
Initiative (CAI) - Asia is organising a one day training course. This 
course will be held as a post event to the Better Air Quality (BAQ) 2010 
Conference. The course will be conducted in English and is open for all 
the BAQ participants and also other interested parties. The course is 
expected to address the various "PUSH" and "PULL" measures of TDM with 
various examples from the developed world.

This event will be held at the LTA Academy, Land Transport Authority of 
Singapore (LTA) in cooperation with the Better Air Quality (BAQ) 2010 
conference on November 12, 2010. Due to limited availability of seats, 
we request you to register early (at no charges).
