Topic: What does Car Sharing have to do with Transportation Demand Management?

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a subdivision of urban planning that focuses on encouraging and discouraging people's transportation choices. Strategies include offering incentives, adding new amenities, and adjusting permit fees for property development. Some examples include providing transit passes, or not providing free parking. It's been used by individual employers and residential buildings, but also cities and regions. 

In this talk, we'll review examples of TDM strategies, and discuss how car sharing fits. Existing TDM programs, or proposing to start one, may be a path towards establishing or growing car sharing.
