Oakland Transportation Management Association (OTMA)
Description
OTMA is a Transportation Management Association in the Oakland neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh. They are identified in the Regional ITS Architecture as an information services provider, using their transportation role and connections within the community to support trip planning, share information on current travel conditions, and improve the area's challenging parking experience.
Whether traveling by car, bus, bike, or foot, the Oakland Transportation Management Association constantly strives to improve the mobility, access, and safety of commuters within the neighborhood. Home to some of the nation's leading medical, educational and cultural institutions, over 100,000 pedestrians and 75,000 vehicles travel through Oakland each and every day. The ability of these students, employees, and visitors to move safely and effectively is paramount to the continuation of Oakland's growth and success.
Located in the heart of Oakland, OTMA is a nonprofit organization open to businesses, community organizations, local government agencies, and regional transportation planners and providers. As a cooperative forum, OTMA is always working to better the Oakland community's ability to stay in motion while reducing traffic and air pollution. OTMA provides many services in and around Oakland which directly aid in getting people where they need to go quickly, efficiently, and safely.
The organization's activities help to create an environment that meets the needs of individuals who visit, work, and live in the Oakland area, achieving this by working toward three main objectives:
* Increased use of public transportation, shared vehicle programs, parking management programs and alternative transportation modes by those currently traveling through Oakland in single occupancy vehicles.
* Supporting new developments and patterns that encourage the use of public transit and promote increased vehicle occupancy and reduce parking space requirements.
* Encouraging pedestrian and bicycling transportation.
