Transportation Management Association (TMA) or Organization (TMO)

Transportation Management Organizations/Associations (TMO/As) are, usually, nonprofit organizations that work to implement Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, support mode shift, and reduce Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) travel in a jurisdiction or across jurisdictions. TMO/As work with governments, nonprofits, and the private sector to promote multimodal transportation. While TMO/As typically cannot build infrastructure, they often lead marketing campaigns, conduct outreach to businesses and neighborhoods, conduct studies, operate TDM programs, and much more. TMO/As are instrumental in executing the multimodal transportation vision of an area. 

The appeal of a TMA lies in multiple organizations and individuals banding together to address and accomplish more than any one government agency, employer, developer or resident could alone. The geographic scope of a TMA varies with each organization and can span across jurisdictions. TMA services also vary by organization and the communities they serve.

If you are interested in setting up a TMO/TMA in your area, check out the OIM Grants Page and the TMO Seed Funding Grant.
