TDM (transportation demand management or travel demand management) is a process that can encompass a variety of measures intended to influence travel choices. TDM is used to manage heavy traffic demand and parking requirements, and to enhance the effectiveness of transit services. This report is part of TCRP's Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook series. The overarching objective of the Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook is to equip members of the transportation profession with a comprehensive, readily accessible, interpretive documentation of results and experience obtained across the United States and elsewhere from (1) different types of transportation system changes and policy actions and (2) alternative land use and site development design approaches. The Handbook, organized for simultaneous print and electronic chapter-by-chapter publication, treats each chapter essentially as a stand-alone document. Each chapter includes text and self-contained references and sources on that topic. The Handbook user should, however, be conversant with the background and guidance provided in TCRP Report 95: Chapter 1, Introduction. Upon completion of the Report 95 series, the final Chapter 1 publication will include a CD-ROM of all 19 chapters. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Pratt, Richard H. %T Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook, Third Edition: Chapter 1, Introduction %D 2013 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22648/traveler-response-to-transportation-system-changes-handbook-third-edition-chapter-1-introduction %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22648/traveler-response-to-transportation-system-changes-handbook-third-edition-chapter-1-introduction %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 79 %X TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 95: Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes: Chapter 1 -- Introduction contains a four-level “Table of Contents” for the 16 published TCRP Report 95 chapter/volumes, describes the Traveler Response Handbook and its development, offers guidance to the prospective Handbook users, and includes two Handbook appendices plus known errata.The Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook consists of these Chapter 1 introductory materials and 15 stand-alone published topic area chapters.

Breathing CO at high concentrations leads to reduced oxygen transport by hemoglobin, which has health effects that include impaired reaction timing, headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, clouding of consciousness, coma, and, at high enough concentrations and long enough exposure, death. In recognition of those health effects, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as directed by the Clean Air Act, established the health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for CO in 1971.Most areas that were previously designated as "nonattainment" areas have come into compliance with the NAAQS for CO, but some locations still have difficulty in attaining the CO standards. Those locations tend to have topographical or meteorological characteristics that exacerbate pollution. In view of the challenges posed for some areas to attain compliance with the NAAQS for CO, congress asked the National Research Council to investigate the problem of CO in areas with meteorological and topographical problems. This interim report deals specifically with Fairbanks, Alaska. Fairbanks was chosen as a case study because its meteorological and topographical characteristics make it susceptible to severe winter inversions that trap CO and other pollutants at ground level. %0 Book %A Institute of Medicine %T Modeling Community Containment for Pandemic Influenza: A Letter Report %D 2006 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/11800/modeling-community-containment-for-pandemic-influenza-a-letter-report %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/11800/modeling-community-containment-for-pandemic-influenza-a-letter-report %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 46 %X Scientists and policymakers have expressed concerns that the U.S. may soon face a pandemic in which neither vaccines nor sufficient antivirals will be available to protect the public. Some have argued that nonpharmaceutical community containment strategies may help in the absence of sufficient medical interventions. There has been some research - historical and modeling - examining the possible utility of these strategies. This report assesses the possible utility of these strategies and formulates conclusions and recommendations for policymakers. While the report's primary and intended purpose is to advise policymakers, the report will be useful in educating other stakeholders about pandemic influenza, including current state-of-affairs, state of science, and ongoing considerations for confronting the disease. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Research Council %T Managing Carbon Monoxide Pollution in Meteorological and Topographical Problem Areas %@ 978-0-309-08923-4 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10689/managing-carbon-monoxide-pollution-in-meteorological-and-topographical-problem-areas %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10689/managing-carbon-monoxide-pollution-in-meteorological-and-topographical-problem-areas %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Environment and Environmental Studies %P 214 %X The regulation of carbon monoxide has been one of the great success stories in air pollution control. While more than 90 percent of the locations with carbon monoxide monitors were in violation in 1971, today the number of monitors showing violations has fallen to only a few, on a small number of days and mainly in areas with unique meteorological and topographical conditions. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Kuzmyak, J.

The plan includes strategies in 22 key emphasis areas that affect highway safety. The plan's goal is to reduce the annual number of highway deaths by 5,000 to 7,000. Each of the 22 emphasis areas includes strategies and an outline of what is needed to implement each strategy.Over the next few years the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) will be developing a series of guides, several of which are already available, to assist state and local agencies in reducing injuries and fatalities in targeted areas. The guides correspond to the emphasis areas outlined in the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan. Each guide includes a brief introduction, a general description of the problem, the strategies/countermeasures to address the problem, and a model implementation process. %0 Book %T Measurement and Interpretation of Productivity %D 1979 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9578/measurement-and-interpretation-of-productivity %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9578/measurement-and-interpretation-of-productivity %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Industry and Labor %P 461 %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Quantifying the Benefits of Context Sensitive Solutions %D 2009 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23012/quantifying-the-benefits-of-context-sensitive-solutions %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23012/quantifying-the-benefits-of-context-sensitive-solutions %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 156 %X TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 642: Quantifying the Benefits of Context Sensitive Solutions explores guidelines for quantifying the benefits of applying the principles of Context Sensitive Solutions to transportation projects.Appendices A through E for NCHRP Report 642 are available online.
