NFRMPO Begins Long Range Transportation Demand Management Plan

Fort Collins, Colorado – The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) has started its Long Range Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan, a required component of the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan Update to be published in Fiscal Year 2011. The Long Range TDM Plan is scheduled for completion in December 2010, and it will guide the update of the Congestion Management Process.

 

The NFRMPO and its consultant, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU), have hired the sub-consultant UrbanTrans to develop the Long Range TDM plan. Furthermore, a steering committee of regional representatives will provide insight and feedback during the five stages of the project.

TDM planning is an important strategy for ensuring access to activity centers in an efficient, timely, and cost-effective manner. TDM products and services include flexible work-hour programs, parking management tactics, and incentives to use transportation alternatives such as carpools, vanpools, transit, bicycles, and walking.
