    LONGWOOD COLLECTIVE TMA WEIGHS IN ON COMMUTING

    Dorothy Fennell, Program Manager for the Longwood Collective Transportation Management Association (TMA), authored a piece in the Boston Globe published on March 19th about the critical role that TMAs play in our communities. The article highlights how TMAs help educate and inform employers, employees, and commuters about better alternatives to driving to work alone, and the resources that are available to help make that transition.

    Our Longwood Collective TMA is here to support commuters in making the multi-mobility switch to improve public health, reduce emissions, ease traffic congestions, and unlock economic opportunity for all. Read the full article here.

    TRANSIT DRIVER APPRECIATION DAY EVENT

    Our celebration of Transit Driver Appreciation Day was a success as we visited the team of drivers who operate our fleet of 37 shuttles serving the LMA and ensure our 2.6 million annual passengers get to where they need to go. Sharing laughs and stories over pizza, cake, and gift bags, the event recognized and celebrated drivers for all their hard work.

     

    While our gratitude for transit drivers in the LMA extends far beyond March 18th, this annual event has become a much-anticipated tradition that we look forward to continuing for years to come.
