TextTysons Comprehensive Plan - Transportation - Transportation Management
The
Comprehensive Plan for the Tysons Corner Urban Center calls for the
establishment of a Tysons Corner Transportation Management Association to
develop and promote Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs to
stakeholders, major employers and developers in Tysons Corner. TDM refers
to a variety of strategies aimed at reducing the demand on the
transportation system, particularly to reducing single occupant vehicles
during peak periods, and expanding the transportation choices available
to residents, employees, shoppers and visitors. The result is a more
efficient use of the existing transportation system.
When the four Metrorail stations open in Tysons and denser mixed use transit-oriented development is constructed surrounding the stations, a substantial percentage of travelers are expected to commute via Metrorail without any TDM programs in place. This development pattern will also reduce the need for driving trips because jobs, housing, shopping, recreational and cultural opportunities will be close at hand and accessible by walking or a short transit ride. A broad, systematic, and integrated program of TDM strategies throughout Tysons can further reduce peak period single occupancy vehicle trips, as well as increase the percentage of travelers using transit and non-vehicular modes of transportation. Examples of TDM Measures include:
