TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (TDMI) – GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE ON MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PRESENT AND FUTURE European Conference on Mobility Management 7 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
mission Establish 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 3
TDMI Website at Transportation2.org TDM resource links to existing research A social media platform for TDM developments/issues/ideas Module to tie in TDM professionals to LEED Certification for Existing Buildings (EB) and New Construction (NC). 4

European Experience BREEAM –250,000 buildings with certified BREEAM assessment ratings and over a million registered for assessment since it was first launched in
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 Experience Why 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 ( ): –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) 36
