Swan Island Transportation Management Association
From PortlandAfoot
The Swan Island Transportation Management Association, also called the Swan Island TMA, is a program of the Swan Island Business Association that works to improve the productivity of the Swan Island industrial area by reducing congestion on its roads and minimizing the amount of valuable land needed for auto parking.
The program is one of the Portland area's seven Transportation Management Associations.

[edit] Partnership with Portland Afoot
Starting in September 2010, the Swan Island TMA partnered with Portland in the Round, the nonprofit that publishes Portland Afoot, to distribute free copies and free subscription offers to workers on the island who expressed interest in low-car commuting. No money changed hands, though Anderson and Portland Afoot's Michael Andersen (no relation) have bought each other's lunch a few times while they worked things out.
In March 2011, the TMA hired Portland Afoot to research commuting trends on the island, as part of its Trip Not Taken project. Portland in the Round billed the TMA $148.25 for just over 6.5 hours on the project.
