assessing travel demand management for the summer Olympic Games
Transportation Research Record, 2011Co-Authors: Graham Currie, Alexa DelboscAbstract:The Summer Olympic Games present the largest-ever transport challenge for host cities that are often already facing aging infrastructure and congestion pressures. This paper reviews approaches to travel demand management (TDM) for travel related to the Olympic Games and assesses documented evidence on travel impacts. The review aims to inform future planning for the Games but also to provide lessons for general urban planning. This paper is part of a wider research project applying transport lessons from Olympic Games to the Hajj-Omrah pilgrimage in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Five Olympic TDM measures are described: travel capacity creation, travel behavior change, traffic efficiency, traffic bans, and public transit emphasis. Different approaches and their impact on travel are discussed, with particular emphasis on how base-load nonGames travel is reduced. In general, more recent Games have emphasized significant investment in high-capacity transit infrastructure and much stronger measures for reducing car us...
