摘要：This paper examines the impact of travel demand management policy instruments and a wide variety of measures of urban spatial characteristics on CO 2 emissions from household travel based on more than 27,000 observations from the 2009 NHTS. The regression results indicate that travel demand management (TDM) instruments and urban spatial characteristics affect CO 2 emissions from household travel in a complicated way. Population-weighted density, rail availability, and TDM instruments such as parking management, promotion of transit use and carpool, and employer-based TDM programs have a moderate but negative impact on CO 2 emissions from household travel. On the other hand, employment and population distribution imbalance and major road network density have a moderate but positive impact on CO 2 emissions from household travel. Keywords: parking management; promotion of transit use and carpool, employer-based TDM program; CO 2 emissions from household travel; population-weighted density; employment and population distribution imbalance JEL Classifications: Q2, Q5
