Demand Management

Demand Management


There are many ways of sustaining economic growth with lower growth in passenger kilometres (pkm) and tonne kilometres (tkm), i.e., there are many ways of reducing the transport elasticity of GDP.


For example, improved land-use planning and the matching of jobs, schools, shopping centres and transport corridors to the location of residential areas could significantly reduce urban trans-port demand.


Better telecommunication facilities also reduce the demand for transport. Demand management is primarily a matter of government policies and actions such as those concerning pricing, taxation and imports, land-use and urban planning, public transport, support systems, industrial policies, attention to non-motorised and non-transport options, development of alternative fuels and institution of administrative and regulatory measures.
