Mobility Management: Sustainable Transport: A Sourcebook for Policy-makers in Developing Cities

Mobility Management (also called Transportation Demand Management or TDM) is a general term for strategies that result in more efficient use of transportation resources, as opposed to increasing transportation system supply by expanding roads, parking facilities and other motor vehicle related facilities. Mobility Management emphasises the movement of people and goods, not just motor vehicles, and so gives priority to public transit, ridesharing and nonmotorised modes, particularly under congested urban conditions.
