<br />ORDINANCE NS-2124 <br />PAGE TWO <br /> <br />317 <br /> <br />(e) The Congestion Management Program (CMP) recognizes <br />and encourages the use of Transportation Demand Management <br />(TDM) strategies to promote alternative transportation methods <br />and improve the general efficiency of the transportation <br />system by enhancing vehicle flow and shifting demand on <br />existing transportation facilities through encouraging changes <br />in individual travel behavior. <br /> <br />(f) Implementation of TDM strategies at the local <br />government level would provide public benefits by improving <br />air quality and enhancing the effectiveness of the existing <br />transportation system. <br /> <br />(g) coordinated TDM efforts among all local <br />jurisdictions in the County can contribute to improvements in <br />air quality and the efficiency and effectiveness of the <br />transportation system including reductions in traffic <br />congestion. <br /> <br />(h) This article serves to codify standards of <br />transportation demand management and transportation system <br />management which, prior to its adoption, were imposed on <br />development projects as conditions of approval through the <br />City's environmental review process. <br /> <br />8ec. 36-601.
