With the increasing number of regions adopting or revising travel reduction ordinances (TROs), the performance evaluations of the TROs should be standardized. The author of this paper argues that the effects of TROs should be considered at different geographic scales and that attention should be given to the socioeconomic characteristics of commuters. The methodologies used highlight the importance of socioeconomic and urban employment structures and the spatial variations of transportation infrastructures and services in determining the transportation behavior of employees. This paper suggests that the success of a transportation demand management program is as much a function of the type of activities it adopts as the type of neighborhoods from which the employees commute. The overall spatial distribution of socioeconomic characteristics, as determined by factor analysis and the commuter matrix, closely predict the predominance of transportation modes and their changes in Eastern Pima County, Arizona.
