PDOT is developing a "Climate + TDM (Transportation Demand Management) Best Practices" white paper. We've divided the work into five major sections. The first three are:

*educating businesses and residents about the basics of climate and impacts of transportation decisions (Why care about climate change? How much of their carbon footprint is from transport? What is a carbon footprint?) Have you seen any good materials (hand-outs, short videos) on these subjects?

*Effective messaging around climate & transportation that motivates driving less

*Measuring the carbon reduction benefits of TDM (employer, residential or highway project TDM) Do you know of good resources for climate + TDM, either broadly or covering the specific questions above?

Thanks,
Peter Hurley
