Local Government Climate & Energy Strategy: Transportation Control Measures

Credit: 2 hour

This online engineering PDH course describes the process of developing and implementing transportation control measures, using real-world examples. Transportation control measures (TCMs) are strategies that reduce transportation related air pollution, greenhouse-gas emissions (GHG), and fuel use by reducing vehicles miles traveled and improving roadway operations. For example, emissions from individual vehicle use can be reduced by offering less polluting alternatives, such as public transit, and strategies that decreased the need for vehicle trips, such as telecommunicating. TCMs may also focus on making travel more efficient by improving the management of the transportation system. The course includes description of real-life success of communities using TCMs.
