TDM Beyond the Commute

Spring Into TDM 2026: Red River Chapter

Wednesday, March 4, 2026 to Thursday, March 5, 2026
Join the Red River Chapter's 2026 Spring Into TDM event!

Join us for a focused look at how Transportation Demand Management is expanding far beyond the traditional work trip. We’ll explore how land use shapes travel, why midday trips matter, how to manage mobility during construction, and what it takes to move people efficiently during special events.

Whether you’re a planner, employer, advocate, or mobility professional, this summit offers fresh insights, practical tools, and a chance to connect with leaders who are redefining what TDM can be.

Day one - Wednesday, March 4
Evening Social 

Join us for a fun, low‑key evening social as we explore TDM Beyond the Commute. It’s a chance to unwind, swap stories with fellow mobility-minded folks, and get inspired by a guest speaker who’s pushing the boundaries of what Transportation Demand Management can be. Whether you’re into mode shift, micro-mobility, campus programs, or just love talking about how people move, come hang out, grab a refreshment, and connect with others who are thinking beyond the 9‑to‑5 trip.
