TDM is a series of measures promoting alternatives to the single occupant vehicle for reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality by maximizing the use of the existing transportation infrastructure. These measures include carpooling, vanpooling, transit, walking, bicycling, telecommuting, compressed work weeks, etc.
