 | | A TRO is defined as a municipal, county, regional, or state regulation that usually involves the participation of developers and/or employers in trip demand management. |
 | | Typically a TRO requires that employees must be provided with information (pamphlets, booklets, seminars) to encourage the use of travel options such as ridesharing, transit, walking and bicycling, and telecommuting where appropriate. |
 | | Benefits of TROs include reduced traffic congestion, reduced energy use, and improved air quality, any one of which may be the stated goal for a specific ordinance. |
