BUSINESS NEWS URBAN ENGINEERS RECOGNIZED WITH DIAMOND LEVEL TDM ADVOCATE AWARD Urban Engineers is honored to be recognized as a 2023 TDM Advocate by GVF. Urban received the highest recognition, Diamond Level, at the annual TDM Advocate Breakfast. A total of 24 organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, colleges and universities, engineering firms, and local municipalities, were recognized. The award represents Urban’s commitment to Transportation Demand Management. TDM refers to strategies, programs, or policies designed to reduce drive-alone trips and enable the transportation system to function more effectively and efficiently through alternative transportation options such as biking, walking, carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, or telework. Implementing TDM strategies reduces carbon emissions and improves climate. TDM also enhances health and wellness and provides equity through affordable transportation options. Urban offers several TDM programs to encourage its employees to utilize alternatives. The programs include a commuter tax benefit, hosting educational events, and ensuring access to alternative transportation options through strategic office locations. “We at Urban are proud to be recognized as a diamond-level TDM Advocate by GVF,” said Urban Vice President and
Philadelphia Regional Manager Jennifer Waters, PE, LEED AP, who attended the event on behalf of Urban. “Through our commitment to sustainable commuting options, we improve our environment and have created a more engaged and motivated workforce. This award honors our dedication to our employees and the environment.” The TDM Advocate Breakfast featured panel speakers Bryan Fenstermaker, President and CEO of City Avenue Special Services District, Laura Manion, President and CEO of Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry, and Bernie Dagenais, President and CEO of The Main Line Chamber of Commerce. GVF is a non-profit transportation management association in the Greater Philadelphia region that partners with local private and public sectors to combat transportation challenges through TDM.
