2025 DC Fly-In
ACT National
Monday, September 15, 2025 to Tuesday, September 16, 2025
Be part of our national advocacy effort as we head to Washington, DC to meet with Congressional staff and advance ACT’s policy priorities ahead of the upcoming surface transportation reauthorization.
This year’s Fly-In will include:
- Meetings with key members of Congress and their staff
- A meeting with the U.S. Department of Transportation staff
Participating in the Fly-In is a powerful opportunity to showcase the real-world impact of your TDM programs and engage directly with your Congressional delegation. ACT staff and our government relations team will support you every step of the way, from scheduling meetings to providing talking points. Experienced members and trained staff will accompany participants to help ensure every meeting is a success.
TDM Week Brainstorming Session
Cascade Chapter
Tuesday, September 16: 9 - 10 a.m. PT
For TDM Week, the Cascade Chapter board will lead a brainstorm session to identify revisions to state or province law that could strengthen TDM initiatives at regional and/or local levels.
Imagine you are having a conversation with a legislator who asks you about the obstacles you face as you engage in your TDM work. What would you tell them? What would you ask them to do to remove those obstacles? These are the questions we will answer during the brainstorm session.
Following the brainstorm session, the board will send letters to key elected officials ahead of their upcoming legislative sessions.
TDM Education Day at the Capitol
Midwest Chapter
Monday, September 15: 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. CT
Join us to educate Wisconsin state legislators on the benefits and opportunities of TDM. Share your TDM-related work and educate legislators on ways to further TDM investments and policy solutions in Wisconsin.
Interactive TDM Toolkit and Policy Workshop
Northern California Chapter
Join us for an interactive, half-day workshop to share best practices and policies among Bay Area transportation demand management (TDM) professionals.
Those of us working to mode shift from single-occupancy vehicles to sustainable transportation have programs, policies, information, rewards, tips, and tricks in our TDM toolkits. Let’s come together and share our tools, apply them in small groups to real-world examples, then reconvene and compare notes.
Attendees will leave with fresh new approaches for successful mode shift as well as policy ideas to grow the number of transportation management associations and TDM programs.
Celebrate TDM Week & South Burlington’s New Market Street Transit
Patriot Chapter
Wednesday, September 17, 2025:11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (EDT)
National Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Week is September 15–19, a time to recognize how TDM improves livability and expands access to transportation options for everyone. This year, we’re celebrating with a special focus on South Burlington’s new Market Street bus service. Hosted by CATMA in partnership with the City of South Burlington, University of Vermont, Go! Vermont and ACT Patriot Chapter.
We invite you to join us for a coffee talk at Bliss Bee from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. on September 17, where we’ll discuss the TDM and its role in creating more connected, accessible, and vibrant communities, now and in the future. Afterwards, stay for the official ribbon cutting to mark the launch of the new Market Street transit service and the revitalized city center. Enjoy free coffee - sponsored by ACT Patriot Chapter!
As community leaders and elected officials, your participation helps raise awareness about the importance of expanding transportation options for all users when making land use and transportation planning decisions — and demonstrates your support for sustainable, equitable mobility in our region.
We hope you can join us to celebrate TDM Week and the exciting improvements to South Burlington’s transportation network.
