New Research: Improving Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and Pedestrian and Bike Safety
Improving the effectiveness and reach of campus Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs requires creative analysis. Panelists from UC Berkeley SafeTREC, Stanford and Skyline College will discuss survey tools used to inform and tailor TDM programs and a comparative study of three university campuses designed to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. Included are a new suite of survey questions to gain insight into travel choices, patterns, and behavior; use of GIS and population sampling surveys; and examination of crash data (both police reported and self-reported) from three Californian universities.
