TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (TDMI) – GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE ON MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PRESENT AND FUTURE

European Conference on Mobility Management7 May 2014

The Transportation Demand Management Institute was incorporated in 1982 and is a 501 (c) (3) charity organization based in California.

Originally part of the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT), but is now a separate entity

Current composition: 4 Board Officers and 11 Board Trustees

missionEstablish TDMI as international TDM / Sustainable Transport umbrella group facilitating information sharing and innovation in TDM

Provide TDM educational opportunities through lecture series at various transportation and non-transportation events (such as ECOMM)

Compile existing research on TDM and house it in one location for easy reference

European Experience• BREEAM– 250,000 buildings with certified

BREEAM assessment ratings and over a million registered for assessment since it was first launched in 1990.

29

European Experience• BREEAM– A BREEAM assessment uses recognized

measures of performance set against established benchmarks to evaluate a building’s specification, design, construction and use.

– The measures used represent a broad range of categories and criteria from energy to ecology. They include aspects related to energy and water use, the internal environment (health and well-being), pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes.

30

European Experience• BREEAM– It encourages designers, clients and

others to think about low carbon and low impact design, to lessen energy demands created by a building before considering energy efficiency and low carbon technologies.

31

European Experience• BREEAM- Five Key Transport-related

Aspects of BREEAM – Access to public transit– Proximity to amenities– Cyclist facilities–Max car parking standards– Travel plan–  

32

European ExperienceWhy is transport Important?• 72% of the UK travel by car to work• 77% use cars for food shopping• 55% use a car as transportation for school and childcare• All resulting in high CO2 emissions•  BREEAM credits can be obtained in this area by reducing CO2 emissions through:• The location of your development• Parking and cycling materials you offer• The access to public transport• Access to local amenities• Implementing transport policies

33

Australian Experience• Green Star ratings tool launched in

2002• By the Green Building Council of

Australia• First ten years (2002-2012):– 500+ buildings certified– 8 million square meters of space

• Ratings tools for offices, apartments, schools, university buildings, hospitals, shopping centers, and industrial facilities

34

Australian Experience• GBCA Green Star PILOT rating tools

for:– Communities– Interiors– Performance of existing buildings

• Green Star ratings based on:–Management, innovation, emissions– Energy, water, land use and ecology,

materials– Transport, indoor environmental quality

35

Australian Experience• A secondary rating tool (NABERS)

traditionally used to rate the actual performance existing buildings

• NABERS assesses energy, water, waste and indoor environment (not transport)

• The GBCA Australia’s new Performance Rating Tool includes transport, with points for an Alternative Transport Program (including additional points for surveys)
