Based on a series of recent FHWA guidance reports and, in particular, the findings from an FHWA International Scan to Europe, the webinars aim at imparting a new way of thinking about urban travel that focuses on both the need for travel itself and means to accommodate travel via new and innovative choices. The webinars are designed for transportation managers that plan and operate the transportation system, including state and federal highway officials, metropolitan planning organization staff, TDM professionals, and others who assist regions in seeking ways to reduce demand in order to address issues such as congestion and air quality. This webinar is part 3 of the series. The webinar series discussed variety of different strategies to manage demand, but they are just that, different strategies. The real key to better embracing a demand-side approach is the integration of demand management into both planning, projects and operations. This webinar will discuss the need for that integration and provide some examples. http://www.ntoctalks.com/phpEventCalendar/eventdisplay.php?id=536 2008-04-16 22:17:43 The Federal Highway Administration is hosting a 3-Part Webinar Series that provides a new perspective on demand management.
