The City of Vaughan is developing a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Guideline to act as a guiding tool for the developer community as they work through the submission and review process for TDM measures which are provided as part of development applications. TDM Plans provide details at the site-specific level of measures that will encourage residents, visitors, or employees to travel sustainably and reduce the reliance on single-occupancy vehicle usage. The overall objective being to manage congestion, provide benefits to the environment, and improve quality of life.

• Acts as a guiding document to support and encourage sustainable modes of transportation.
• Contains a list of physical and programming measures to encourage sustainable travel, including walkways, bicycle parking, transit passes or carpool parking.
• Help developers work with the City at the site level to support transportation goals and capitalize on existing City and Regional multi-modal networks

The TDM Guideline project was initiated in September 2020 and once complete, it will further enhance the City’s 2018-2022 Service Excellence Strategic Plan strategic priority of enhanced transportation and mobility that encourages sustainable travel options in the city of Vaughan.
