It’s funny you should ask about the merger between congestion pricing and TDM.

 

In answer to your question, it was not a random decision.

 

Rather, it was a message. A message intended for me and me alone.

 

Welcome to my world, children.

 

But keep this information on the down low, where it belongs.

 

I am still interested in obtaining information about the diffusion of innovation in TDM. Or congestion pricing.

 

Therein lies the rub. Where pots of leprechaun gold and Nobel prizes in Economics are yet to be discovered!

I just saw this and wanted to comment on TDM and congestion pricing.  I did a lot of work on how to sell the advantages of congestion pricing, and I also created a concept for optimizing freeways with a “congestion credits” strategy, where you have a bypass lane on the ramp where you can pay for access, or you have a free lane on the ramp where you might wait for 5 minutes or more, but at the end you get credits to spend on the congestion priced system so that it is still free for those traveling say up to 10-miles or so. 

 

I’ve been too busy to really get this in front of people, but I read Erik’s comments below and thought “yes, there is a pot-o-gold at the end of this rainbow, if only we can convince people!” 

If you’re interested in a politically possible way to implement congestion pricing, please see this webpage:

www.FreewayOptimization.org.

It’s old and not formatted very well, but the info is there.
