Vision
A human population efficiently able to navigate their individual movements between home, work, and all of life’s destinations.
Mission
Mobility Lab nurtures innovations to a fundamental requirement of human life: transportation. It is a place and an internet research entity that communicates best practices in the field of TDM, using research findings to educate and encourage continuous improvement for moving people instead of cars in more healthy, economical, and sustainable ways.
Purpose

TDM in Arlington, Virginia is about making individuals aware of their transportation options, including route, time of travel and mode. In the broadest sense, TDM is defined as providing travelers with effective choices to improve travel, decrease traffic congestion, improve system efficiency, reliability, and improve quality of life.
