This article presents some general concluding remarks about TSM. It is noted that the principle federal role seems to be changing--a shift of federal dollars from long-term to short-term objectives. If the federal source of long-term investment is eroded away because it is being spent on some of the shorter term areas the cities and counties and states are not necessarily going to be in a position to pickup up the burden of the needed long term investment. Another significant change associated with TSM is the role of the MPO. Are they to form a new layer of government between local and state governments, or are they to be a coordinating mechanism only. A successful TSM effort has to have specific objectives, a set of priorities, and ways to handle the trade-offs among conflicting objectives. It is noted that there are already a number of people who get to work in some kind of multiple-occupancy vehicle, and there is a growing trend toward flexible working hours. Both of these are helping to solve peak-hour transportation problems, therefore, it is necessary that TSM projects be addressed to the real and the right problems.
