Also called: TDM Coordinator, Commute Options Manager, Commuter Programs Coordinator
Gets people out of solo car trips by running carpool matching, transit passes, bike programs and parking rules for a city or big employer.
TDM coordinators survey how workers get to a hospital or downtown, then design fixes: discounted transit passes, vanpools, guaranteed rides home, and charging for parking instead of giving it away. They run commuter challenges, staff booths at job fairs, and track whether car trips drop. Many cities require big new buildings to have a TDM plan, so they review those too.
