The TMA works with towns and businesses on transportation issues and solutions...
- Smart Commute
- The UVTMA is working with local employers to develop sustainable commuting plans as part of its Smart Commute project. Designed to encourage non-drive alone behavior (i.e., carpooling, transit, biking, etc.), the project involves researching commuting habits and barriers and developing targeted programs to promote mobility options at the workplace. Originally a pilot project with Mascoma Savings Bank, grants from the US Department of Energy and High Meadows Fund have provided the opportunity to offer this program to five employers in Vermont and ten in New Hampshire.

- Upper Valley Intermodal Transportation Facility
- The TMA and the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission were involved in overseeing the public participation process for a possible public transportation hub in the Upper Valley. If built, the facility will provide a park and ride lot, link multiple bus lines, and make public transportation more accessible to many of our residents and visitors
- Park and Ride
- Park and Ride lots help reduce traffic, improve air quality, and save money for commuters and municipalities. The TMA meets with local legislators and planners to develop and renovate park and ride lots and to connect bus lines to them.
- Mobility Checklist
- Winner of the Planning Project of the Year Award from the NH Planners Association in 2008!
This checklist helps developers, planners, and town boards understand how to "think beyond the car" and integrate alternative transportation into their plan development. It was created with the help of the Upper Valley's professional planning community. - Regional Transportation Map
