TMA Formation
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs)
Why Start a TMA?
A
Transportation Management Association is a regional partnership formed between businesses, communities, and interested stakeholders to
advance common goals around transportation.
They are professionally staffed and usually formed as independent non-profits, or under existing regional groups. TMAs are an excellent way to maintain a long-term focus on key issues and facilitate ongoing conversations around transportation.
Some of the many benefits of forming a TMA:
- Enhanced opportunities for economic development
- Better access and improved mobility
- Shared services such as first mile/last mile connections to transit
- Reduced traffic congestion
- Improvements in air quality
- Increase in sustainable transportation options
- Advocacy for infrastructure improvements
- Strong coalition and regional voice for transportation
