Abstract

Reducing traffic congestion while improving mobility and access will require a combination of coordinated initiatives that include the use of transportation demand management strategies. TDM is a growing transportation specialization that needs more practitioners with education and training in the development, planning, application, and evaluation of TDM programs. TDM is the set of strategies that influences travelers’ decisions to travel by choice of travel mode, trip timing, travel frequency, as well as route, facility, and destination selection. The Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT), the premier international professional organization for TDM professionals, established the TDM-CP professional certification in 2020, to elevate recognition of the TDM field and the level of expertise in TDM implementation. ACT sought the development of study guide materials for exam candidates. This project developed the content and text for six subdomains within the Domain I Fundamentals of TDM represented on the exam. Content drafts went through an extensive review process with the Exam Preparation Committee, then a second review from the ACT Certification Board of Trustees before they voted to approve its release to the ACT membership at the 2024 International ACT Conference in Denver.
