Reasons Transportation Demand Management should be implemented
Over the years the inflation rate has skyrocketed leading to high cost of fuel. At the same time the cost and duration that is wasted by travelers in the traffic jam are the main reasons the Transportation Demand Management should be implemented (Oberstar 2008). However there are a lot of people over all the world who are buying cars each passing days. These cars are mostly used in urban setting leading to congestion and traffic jams. The cost and duration wasted by travelers are the main reasons the TDM should be implemented to ensure that there are sustainability and efficiency in the transport industry (Gubbins 2003). Besides among the increased number of players within the industry the government has one of the most critical roles to play. The government has a responsibility of ensuring that transportation networks are managed so that traffic congestion is avoided (Gubbins 2003). On this the Transportation Demand Management ensures that all levels of government are involved in improving the efficiency if transportation across the country.
Ultimately it is the role of the government to ensure that there are sustainable transports within an urban setting where there are a many people and residence. Sustainable transport refers to the broad subject of transport that is sustainable regarding the environmental social and climatic impact and the ability to supply the source of energy in the global scope (Rye 2016). There are many components that can be used to evaluate the sustainability of the transport industry (Gubbins 2003). Some of the components that can be used to evaluate the transport are the vehicles that are usedon the road vessels used in water and air the sources of energy as well as the transportation infrastructure that are used to accommodate the transports. Some of the in infrastructure includes the railways airways roads canal and terminals (Oberstar 2008).
