Atlanta Regional Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Annual Report

The Atlanta Regional TDM Program addresses these issues by using targeted strategies to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles on the road. This is achieved through a network of TDM service providers and stakeholders who work together to help shift commuters to alternative transportation modes, lower emissions through sustainable transportation options, and alleviate financial burdens by promoting affordable commute solutions.

Atlanta Regional TDM Program

The Atlanta Regional TDM Program serves a 20-county Atlanta region to provide resources, incentives, and services to decrease single-occupancy vehicle travel while encouraging alternative modes.

Georgia Commute Options (GCO), the regional provider of TDM services, works with six Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) to implement the Atlanta Regional TDM Program. Georgia Commute Schools (GCS), a program of GCO, works with regional school districts on TDM initiatives to improve air quality and safety around schools.

The Atlanta Regional TDM Program is managed by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and funded by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
