     Guidance updated: this version can be used more widely to develop TDM plans to support LTAs as they emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, and crucially it is also a legacy tool to manage a range of other scenarios when there are pressures on the transport network or during times of higher demand.

Details

This toolkit provides support to local transport authorities (LTAs) in England to help them develop their own travel demand management (TDM) programme to:

• manage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transport system
• manage a range of other scenarios where there are increased pressures on the transport network or a mismatch between supply and demand

Mott MacDonald produced this report for the Department for Transport in December 2020.

COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted since the report was distributed to LTAs; however, this does not affect the toolkit’s function and role.
