Transportation Management Associations
The nine transportation management associations
(TMAs) work together with The Clean Air
Campaign to promote commute alternatives in the
metro Atlanta region. While The Clean Air
Campaign is a regional and increasingly
statewide organization, the nine TMAs in the
metro Atlanta region focus on areas that
contain the region's major clusters of
employment.
TMAs specifically are
organizations that address the unique
transportation needs of specific office markets
or corridors. If an area is not accessible,
companies relocate and the district suffers.
TMAs are the forums for companies to work
together on mobility and workforce growth
issues that impact all of them.
The
Downtown TMA is the TMA for the Downtown office
market.
There are nine TMAs in Atlanta
and approximately 150 TMAs nationally and
internationally. Although TMA services vary in
different markets, most include carpool,
vanpool, transit, bike, shuttle and
infrastructure planning. Clients - or partners
- include developers, property managers,
companies and individual commuters.
TMAs
are public-private coalitions where everyone
benefits. Government has a planning partner.
Developers create more attractive and
accessible facilities. Property managers reduce
parking constraints. Employers improve
recruitment and retention opportunities.
Commuters save money and reduce stress.

Haggard, Executive Director, of the
