OTMA is among more than 150 non-profit transportation management associations throughout the United States. Recognizing the serious consequences that today's commuting environment has on our economic vitality, productivity and quality of life, OTMA is committed to promoting alternative transportation options that will aid in reducing traffic congestion and improved air quality.

OTMA is a membership organization that receives funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the University of Pittsburgh. Our membership is open to institutions, businesses, non-profit community organizations, local government agencies and regional transportation planners and providers.

The Oakland Transportation Management Association (OTMA) along with fellow regional TMA's, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership and Airport Corridor Transportation Association, are working in conjunction to respond to the transportation issues within our immediate communities as well as regional transportation needs throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. Each organization's work program has evolved and includes:

Marketing of Public Transportation (grassroots to commuters)
Dissemination of Information on Road Construction Projects
Organizing groups of Business Leaders for input on Transportation Issues
Surveying Businesses on Transportation Needs
Conducting Focus Groups on Transportation
Promoting Alternatives of Van Pools and Car Pools vs. (SOV)-Single Occupancy
Vehicle Travel
Working with Job Access issues
Providing Networking Opportunities for Local Businesses & Transportation Officials

Ultimately, the Oakland Transportation Management Association's role is to communicate the public sector position, while bringing the message of the community back to the transportation decision-makers in the public sector.
