The status of transportation demand management in Greater Vancouver and energy implications
As transportation problems deteriorate and resources become limited, transportation professionals have realized that they cannot always rely on supplying more infrastructure to meet travel demands, Instead, they have looked to transportation demand management (TDM) as a means of influencing the demand for transportation, TDM is currently being planned for implementation in the Greater Vancouver region, Under an umbrella of extensive planning strategies, TDM is considered to play a significant role in the region's future state of transportation, Four main components are being planned under the Greater Vancouver Regional TDM Project: trip reduction service, parking management, conversion of fixed automobile costs to variable, and road pricing, Currently, 70% of the provincial transportation energy needs is due to road transportation, of which one-third is due to commuters. Compared to trend forecasts for the year 2021, it is estimated that these TDM measures could produce savings of approximately 56,000 1 of automobile fuel in the morning peak hour, 343,000 1 on a typical weekday, and 113,000,000 1 annually, This paper will discuss the current and future states of transportation in the region, the planning process leading up to the TDM project, and the estimated implications of TDM on transportation energy needs.
