In an effort to spread awareness about the range of transportation options available for commuters in Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Nashville Connector will host a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) summit at Nissan Stadium on Friday, September 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) involves the use of policies and strategies to maximize the efficiency of transportation systems, which leads to improved mobility, reduced congestion, and lower vehicle emissions. The day-long summit is the culmination of Nashville’s participation in “TDM Week,” an annual initiative led by the Association for Commuter Transportation that engages government agencies and area businesses throughout the country to foster more sustainable and safer transportation in their communities.
