  2. Managing demand is about providing travelers, regardless of whether they

    drive alone, with travel choices, such as work location, route, time of travel and mode. In the broadest sense, demand management is defined as providing travelers with effective choices to improve travel reliability. FHWA, 2004. TDM seeks to reduce auto trips…by increasing travel options, by providing incentives to modify travel behavior, or by reducing the physical need to travel (through transportation-efficient land uses). Tumlin, 2012. Sources: FHWA, Mitigating Traffic Congestion-The Role of Demand-Side Strategies, prepared by ACT, Report No. FHWA-HOP-05-001, October 2004.

  5. “…[S]ociologists have had to make do with fuzzy observations. They’ve

    had to work with rough and incomplete data sets drawn from small samples of the population, and they’ve had to rely on people’s notoriously flawed recollections of what they did, when they did it, and whom they did it with.” Source: MIT Technology Review.
