Welcome to Your Transportation Management District

Transportation Management Districts (TMDs) provide concentrated services to encourage the use of transit and other commuting options in Montgomery County's major business districts. TMDs have four broad goals:

  • Cut traffic congestion
  • Increase transportation capacity
  • Reduce air and noise pollution
  • Promote bicycle and pedestrian access

The TMD Law

County law requires that every employer with 25 or more full- or part-time employees in a transportation management district submit a Traffic Mitigation Plan (TMP) within 90 days of notification from the Department of Transportation. Employers must also participate in the TMD's annual commuter survey and submit an annual report of activities.

TMD staff help employers set up and carry out a plan that benefits business, enables them to attract and retain the best employees, and makes it easier for everyone to get around.

Helping employees find better ways to work - other than driving single-occupant vehicles - stimulates the economy, lessens energy consumption, and protects our health.

Area Description:
Friendship Heights is one of the Washington region's premier business, retail, and residential locations. Straddling the Montgomery County/District of Columbia boundary, the area has more than two million square feet of office space and over 1.25 million square feet of retail space, with about 200 stores, including many fashion-oriented merchandisers and fine restaurants. 

Montgomery County's portion of Friendship Heights (also known as Chevy Chase) is a lively Central Business District, which is home to GEICO insurance company's headquarters, Microsoft, Saks Fifth Avenue, and other major employers. Offices of leading doctors and other professionals are also located here.

In total, about 370 employers with an estimated 7,200 employees are located in the Montgomery County portion of Friendship Heights. Still more employers and employees are located on the D.C. side. Montgomery County plans to engage in a bi-jurisdictional effort with the District of Columbia to promote commute options for employers and employees on both sides of the boundary line.
