What is a Transportation Management Association (TMA) / Transportation Management Organization (TMO)?
A transportation management association (TMA), sometimes known as a transportation management organization (TMO), is an administrative body designed to manage the transportation needs of a particular venue, district, or community. In most cases, TMAs are non-profit organizations, and they are usually controlled by members.
Most TMAs also use partnership models that combine private investment with public resources, thus casting a wider net of stakeholders.
TMAs operate on various scales, with larger-scale organizations holding jurisdiction over entire cities or regions, and smaller-scale associations governing the transportation needs of medical facilities, shopping centers, business districts, or industrial zones, among others. They play an important part in shaping and implementing transportation demand management (TDM) programs with specific objectives that typically include:
Single occupancy vehicle (SOV) commuter trip reductions
More efficient allocation of parking resources
Reducing peak-period traffic levels
Shifting traffic to off-peak periods
Promoting alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles
Improving transportation accessibility and system performance
Member-controlled transportation management organizations are more responsive than most government-run TDM initiatives, since they are not encumbered by administrative red tape and can implement new policies with greater speed and flexibility. They also play a key role in supporting smart growth initiatives and land-use patterns that conform to the mixed-use models being favored by a large number of forward-looking municipalities.
