ISSUE
In October 2017 the Board approved Motion 36, directing staff to develop a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) action plan around several elements. Given the comprehensive nature of the task, and appreciating the complexity of existing TDM planning and regulatory environment, staff prepared an assessment of current conditions as a baseline for developing recommendations that respond to the Motion's specific directives.
