1. Phase 2: Data Collection Findings and Future Steps

2. The Context : Transportation is always changing…

5. The costs of automobile reliance has soared. Revenue sources for financing transportation projects are limited.

6. What is Travel Demand Management? Managing travel demand is about providing travelers, regardless whether they drive alone, with travel choices, such as work location, route, time of travel and mode. (FHWA, 2006) As we are unable to build roads fast enough to accommodate growth and demand, travel demand management begins to play a more vital role in congestion reduction, safety and overall system preservation. (RAPC TDM Proposal, 2010)

7. Phases RAPC is completing the program in five phases. Phase 1: Employer Selection. Phase 2: Data Collection. Phase 3: Commuter Choice Decision Support System Guidance Tool Completion. Phase 4: TDM Technique Selection and Implementation Phase 5: Annual Evaluation.

8. Phase 2: Data Collection Two Studies: Traffic Count Commuter Survey Purposes of Phase 2: Identify travel characteristics of Pinecrest Center commuters; Collect information for Commuter Choice Decision Support System Guidance Tool; Develop a framework of a coordinated, integrated and balanced commuter choice program and strategy.

9. Traffic Count Findings The traffic counter was placed immediate inside of the main entrance of Pinecrest Supports and Services Center.
