What’s a TMA?

TMA stands for Transportation Management Association. The North Shore TMA focuses on improving commuting options and reducing traffic congestion in an effort to save commuters money and improve air quality.

The North Shore TMA is one of 15 TMAs across Massachusetts. The NSTMA earns its revenue through membership dues received from our members and through a grant provided by MassDOT. We reinvest that money to provide solutions and incentive programs to commuters on Massachusetts’ North Shore who are committed to sharing their commute (via ridesharing, biking, walking or taking public transportation to/from work).

About Us

The North Shore Transportation Management Association (TMA) is a non-profit transportation and environmental organization that is working to address transportation issues in Beverly, Danvers, Lynn, Peabody, and Salem. The North Shore TMA’s mission is to reduce traffic congestion and vehicle emissions, improve air quality, and enhance access by promoting and advocating for transportation options that support environmental / sustainability goals and promote business and municipal economic development objectives.

The North Shore TMA is the 11th TMA in Massachusetts. We are part of a larger organization called MassCommute, which represents more than 200 companies and nearly 200,000 Massachusetts employees.

Testimonials

Becoming a founding member of the North Shore TMA helps demonstrate our serious commitment to air quality and our desire to address our city’s growing infrastructure. In particular, the City of Salem is proud that we can offer our employees assistance and incentives so that they may alternatively commute to work by bike, foot, train, ferry, bus, carpool, and vanpool. We hope to soon see Salem’s largest employers and residential complexes, as well as developers who want to do business here, get on board with NSTMA membership. It’s good for Salem and the North Shore region!
