Status of Traffic Mitigation Ordinances. Volume 2. Appendix

摘要

Transportation demand management (TDM), also referred to as transportation system management (TSM) or traffic mitigation ordinances have emerged as a compelling new strategy for reducing automobile congestion related to commuting. The final report discusses the emergence and status of traffic mitigation ordinances as a strategy for reducing automobile congestion vis-a-vis commuting. It is based on a review of traffic mitigation ordinances drafted or adopted in 20 selected local jurisdictions throughout the United States as of December 1988. The 2-volume report is a good resource for local governments and will assist local jurisdictions in developing a traffic mitigation ordinance that addresses traffic congestion problems. The final report on the Status of Traffic Mitigation Ordinances consists of 2 separate volumes. In the report, traffic mitigation ordinances are viewed as one method that may have merit as part of a broad-based transportation and land use strategy including transportation system development, transportation system management, growth management policies, zoning and other TDM approaches.
