Abstract:

Electric utility industry demand-side management (DSM) is compared with transportation demand management (TDM) to make recommendations about the implementation of TDM. The regulatory environment of these two sectors and the types of demand-side measures are described. Finally, lessons for TDM are identified. The following conclusions are reached about TDM based on DSM. (a) Congestion pricing gives proper price signals to move people out of automobiles. Political barriers and equity considerations will make implementation difficult. (b) Many people hope for a technological fix for poor air quality and transportation congestion. The use of technology may be more successful in the long-term. (c) For TDM efforts to be meaningful, they need to be implemented in all communities in a region and simultaneously address the multiple reasons for their implementation: air quality, congestion, energy, and land use. This is not easy, because of different agendas and organizational cultures of agencies, political alignments, competing interests, and parochial concerns of local communities. TDM needs to be implemented uniformly throughout a region, balance the short-term and long-term implementation goals and constraints, and address congestion outside the commute periods.
