Unanimous Approval!

[08/05/2016] Yesterday, the Planning Code Amendment for the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission! The ordinance will now go to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration.  We thank everyone for their participation, feedback, and support as we work toward establishing a citywide Transportation Demand Program.

Transportation Demand Management, often referred to as TDM, is the “Shift” component of the Transportation Sustainability Program. It’s a series of development-focused TDM measures that incentivize on-site amenities. It’s designed to provide sustainable alternatives to driving – or “shifting” people’s practice of driving alone in their cars – by providing residents, business tenants, and visitors with alternative travel options. Learn more about the TDM program here.
