Denver Area Transportation Management Associations

The Downtown Denver Transportation Management Association (DDTMA) was established by the Downtown Denver Partnership in 1995, in response to growing concerns among downtown businesses and downtown visitors on issues relating to air quality, mobility and access into and around downtown. The Downtown TMA was designed to develop and implement cost effective programs that improve access, mobility and parking options for Downtown constituents, at the same time reducing traffic congestion and protecting air quality.

36 Commuting Solutions (previously US 36 Transportation Mobility Organization) was created in 1998 to address traffic congestion and air quality problems in the U.S. 36 Corridor (between Denver and Boulder). Our members include more than 40 companies and governmental entities located along the U.S. 36 Corridor. Our mission is to enhance the mobility of commuters along the U.S. 36 corridor for today and for the future.

The Southeast Business Partnership is an organization with one simple, overarching goal in mind: to make sure that the transportation system works hard for everyone who lives and works along the South I-25 Urban Corridor. That mission manifests itself in a number of ways. SEBP strives to monitor transportation demand to ensure that the new
Light Rail line will consistently deliver convenient, effective and high quality services to businesses located throughout this corridor. SEBP is your continuous conduit to a wealth of transportation information.

The Stapleton Area Transportation Management Association (TMA) was created to promote the use of alternative forms of travel to driving alone within and around the developing Stapleton area. The TMA creates, promotes and supports transportation options for residents, commuters, students and visitors in and around the Stapleton community.

The Boulder East TMA was created in 2004. In support of the city of Boulder’s Transportation Master Plan, Boulder East provides Transportation Demand Management services, information, and advocacy to improve access to employment centers in the Boulder East area for employees and customers while reducing traffic congestion and its resulting air pollution.
