Evaluating the Effectiveness of Employer-based Transportation Demand Management(TDM) Programs; A Case of Regulation XV in Southern California
기업체 교통수요관리 프로그램의 효과성 평가에 관한 연구 -미국 남가주 규제조치 15호 사례를 중심으로-
Abstract
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of TDM as a peak-period trip reduction strategy. This effort uses as a case study, the implementation of Regulation XV (REGXV) in Southern California, the most ambitious and far reaching employer-based ridesharing program implemented to date. This study explores the program effectiveness in terms of three aspects ; employee travel behavior changes after implementating Regulation XV, TDM programs offered by employers subjects to Regulation XV, and causal relationship between employee travel behavior changes and employer-based TDM programs. The study finds that Regualtion XV has a small, but statistically significant positive impact on AVR change. Popular incentives used by employers are less costly and easy to implement rather than to be effective. The increase in AVR is associated with increases of carpools promoted by strong incentives such as monetary subsides. A large number of indirect incentive programs are not effective. The study concludes that employers need to invest heavily on strong incentives, rather than on proposing diverse incentives, to comply with REGXV.
