Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is defined best as creating a sustainable transportation system that moves all people with the goal of reducing congestion, improving air quality, and stimulating economic activity.
How can providing sustainable transportation options benefit your organization?
The modern workforce cares about their commute. According to a 2018 study, 85% of workers would take a pay cut in exchange for a shorter commute. To learn more, check out Ride Amigos. Workers are speaking loud and clear: they want to work for companies that understand their time is valuable, and they don’t want to spend it in traffic.
In addition to supporting multimodal transportation solutions, the Boulder Chamber of Commerce promotes workforce development through key strategies that represent business and industry voices in Colorado Workforce Development Council initiatives, including the Talent Equity Agenda, Talent Pipeline Report, career pathway discussions and more.
Traffic congestion is bad for business. Major regional travel corridors serving Boulder’s workforce are graded “F” for Level of Service at peak travel times. By promoting walking, biking, and transit as commute options for your employees, you will not only be helping them with healthy, cost-efficient options, but also helping the Boulder community by reducing the environmental footprint of your business.
The Boulder Chamber of Commerce is committed to improving community infrastructure through many strategies, including an increase in government funding and local investment in transportation infrastructure and mobility-related initiatives to re-stimulate our regional economy, while addressing long-term needs.
The City of Boulder aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by nearly half before 2030 (from 426,264 MT CO2 emissions in 2019, to 250,965 MT CO2 in 2030). This will require efforts from all parts of the community. By promoting alternative transportation options and enacting a plan to get there, you will play a vital role in making this happen!
