In the 1980s, Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) began to emerge as public-private partnerships designed to address traffic congestion and air quality problems in communities throughout the United States. Almost 150 TMAs are in operation today in 29 states and the District of Columbia. The strength of the TMA lies in the ability to bring together multiple organizations and individuals to address and accomplish more than any one government agency, employer, developer, or resident could do alone. Each group has influence on transportation and air quality issues and can contribute significantly to the overall solution. Typical TMA activities range from providing information on available transportation alternatives to taking an active role in site-design elements that can effectively impact travel demand.
