Transportation Demand Management as practiced in Arlington, Virginia, is an integral part of an overall smart growth strategy. This strategy has allowed Arlington to experience significant resident and employment growth without generating additional traffic congestion.
Says Robert Thomson of The Washington Post, “Arlington County residents and their travel habits are shaped by transit and land use decisions made decades ago and reshaped by policies that provide further encouragement to get them out of their cars.” Research performed by Arlington County Commuter Services and analyzed by LDA Consulting is also showcased in a recent article of the Atlantic.
