Who We Are
Transportation Solutions has been in existence as a TMA since 1997. Currently Transportation Solutions focuses its services in the southeast metropolitan Denver area including the South Colorado Boulevard and South University Boulevard corridors, the Cherry Creek Trail, I-225 Corridor, and from Colfax to Hampden Avenue. This area includes some of Denver’s most popular and prestigious shopping destinations; large and small businesses, often located in office towers and street front strip-mall shopping centers; neighborhoods with varying characteristics including multi- and single-family residences; and a prominent private university campus. This area also has some of the most gridlocked traffic conditions in the nation and large numbers of employees. Focusing on this specific location enables Transportation Solutions to respond to the unique challenges and opportunities that arise within the area’s communities and organizations.

What is a TMA?
In the 1980s, Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) began to emerge as public-private partnerships designed to address traffic congestion and air quality problems in communities throughout the United States. Almost 150 TMAs are in operation today in 29 states and the District of Columbia. The strength of the TMA lies in the ability to bring together multiple organizations and individuals to address and accomplish more than any one government agency, employer, developer, or resident could do alone. Each group has influence on transportation and air quality issues and can contribute significantly to the overall solution. Typical TMA activities range from providing information on available transportation alternatives to taking an active role in site-design elements that can effectively impact travel demand.
