CASE FOR TDM
|
Across the country TDM practitioners, employers, municipalities and all levels of government are asking for a solid rationale of why TDM is important. Individuals, the public, employers, employees, institutions, municipal governments, politicians and organizations are asking why TDM initiatives should be implemented. Developing a foundation, or a case for TDM, often referred to a business case, is essential for encouraging and supporting TDM within a balanced urban transportation mobility strategy. The Case for TDM provides significant assistance and support to those encouraging, supporting or involved with TDM.

TDM SUPPORTIVE GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS
|
Development applications, site plan reviews and front line contact with developers, landowners and facility mangers is the place to begin to enforce and implement TDM principles. The lack of clear guidelines for incorporating TDM within reviews, approvals or frontline contact is resulting in missed opportunities, creation of infrastructure gaps and is hindering the evolvement of TDM in Canada. The TDM Guidelines for Development Approvals helps increase understanding and focus of these important potential TDM ambassadors
