About Us

TDM programs are programs which promote an alternative transportation option to the single occupant vehicle.  Included among these alternatives are carpooling, vanpooling, telecommuting, transit, bicycle, flexible work hours, compressed work weeks, and parking policies and price structures. 

NCDOT's Public Transportation Division is funding TDM programs across the state to support the provisions of the Ambient Air Quality Improvement Act of 1999, Senate Bill 953, to address growing concerns over ground level ozone pollution from motor vehicles and the need to deal with increasing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and NOx emissions.  This bill established the goals of reducing emissions of nitrous oxides (NOx) from motor vehicles by 25% by 2009 and reducing the growth of VMT in the State by 25% by 2009. 

The City's TDM program began in August 2005 and is administered under City of Asheville's Transportation and Engineering Department - Transportation Management Division.
