The study develops the basic concepts of TSM by providing simple classification schemes, geographic conditions of applicability, relative measures of effectiveness, and techniques for quantification. In this report two key elements are emphasized, namely (1) coordination of transportation activities; and (2) maximization of efficiency and productivity. Some of the findings reported in this report are (1) traffic engineering improvements increase capacity up 100 percent with 10 or 20 percent gains; (2) demand management measures achieve reductions in vehicle miles of travel (VMT) up to 5 percent at specific locations; and (3) bus lanes save bus passengers 1 to 5 minutes per mile, and priority entry treatments will save 1 to 3 minutes per ramp depending on the amount of congestion.
