Seaport TMA (Transportation Management Association)
About
The Seaport TMA is a nonprofit transportation management association working to improve how people get to, from and around Boston’s Seaport and the South Boston Waterfront. It aims to ease congestion, cut vehicle emissions and support the district’s economy by promoting sustainable options such as the Seaport-North Station ferry, Bluebikes and the MBTA. Through its CommuteSeaport program, residents, workers and visitors can plan trips and earn incentives, including prizes from local businesses, for using greener ways to travel.
The association was formed in 1996 by three area stakeholders: Fidelity Investments, the Drew Company on behalf of the Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center, and P&G Gillette. It began as a neighborhood advisory group to keep the area accessible during development, and it continues to advocate for transportation projects and policies as the district grows. Its members span finance, technology, architecture, law, consumer goods, hospitality and the working port.
