Transportation Demand Management, or TDM, is a set of strategies that help people get where they're going without relying solely on driving. TDM focuses on providing people with transportation options and ensuring they know those options exist.

Your bike gets you the first mile. The bus gets you the next ten. Put them together and your car-free radius just got a lot bigger, whether you're commuting across the region or running weekend errands.

Big event downtown? The last thing you want to do is spend your evening circling for a parking spot! Let DASH get you where you need to go.

As a Transportation Planner at the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC), I manage the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program. GVMC is the regional transportation planning organization for the greater Grand Rapids area. Through TDM, we help people find transportation options that make it easier to get around without relying on a personal vehicle.
