[sustran] Re: Is TDM avoid or shift?

[Sunny ICLEI]

My understanding of TDM is not one single tool or strategy. It is a collection of tools there are tools that support the Avoid idea and some that support the SHIFT idea. 

I am sure if Todd Litman is reading this he will shed more light on this. He is the creator of the wonderful TDM toolkit http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/

Quoting Todd

“ Transportation Demand Management (TDM, also called Mobility Management) is a general term for strategies that result in more efficient use of transportation resources”

hope this helps
cheers
