Cities
across
the globe need innovative and effective solutions to solve their
transportation problems in the short, medium and long term. Increased
economic growth, coupled with a resulting increase in motorisation in
recent years, has created greater congestion than has ever been seen
in the world. Solutions to these problems are possible through
improvement of conditions of public transport and conditions for
pedestrians and bicycle users, and also in the implementation of
measures which promote a rational use of the automobile.
<br>
<br>
In
that sense, Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
aims to maximize the efficiency of the urban transport system using a
wide range of measures, including Congestion Pricing, Public
Transport Improvement, Promoting Non-motorised Transport, Fuel
Taxation and Parking Management. This document presents an overview
on international practices, approaches and supports the design of a
TDM strategy.
<br>
<br>
It
covers the following key issues:
<br>
<br>
1.
Challenging traffic growth
in developing countries <br>
2.
Developing a comprehensive TDM strategy <br>
3.
Improving mobility options <br>
4.
Economic measures <br>
5.
Smart growth and land use policies <br>
<br>
Authored
by Andrea Broaddus, Todd Litman and Gopinath Menon, this GTZ training
document advocates that a
three-pronged approach, utilizing 1) Improve Mobility
Options, 2) Economic Measures, and 3) Smart Growth and Land Use
Management is the most effective way to manage demand and create a
resilient and efficient transport system.

About
SUTP:</b> The
Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP) is a global partnership
which aims to help developing world cities achieve their sustainable
transport goals, through the dissemination of information about
international experience and targeted work with particular cities.
SUTP developed the publication “Sustainable Transport: A Sourcebook
for Policy-makers in developing cities” consisting of more than 26
modules. The sourcebook addresses the key areas of a sustainable
transport policy framework for a developing city. It is also
complemented by a series of training documents and other material. More
