About the TNT/TMA

Formed in 1991 celebrating its 30th year this year, the TNT/TMA is a dynamic 501 c (3) non-profit membership organization with a mission to advocate and facilitate transportation solutions in the greater Truckee-North Lake Tahoe region.  It is a forum for discussion, consensus, advocacy and action in support of transit, pedestrian, biking, and environmentally sound roadway infrastructure designed to enhance mobility and reduce congestion throughout the Truckee-North Lake Tahoe region.

The Truckee-North Lake Tahoe region is unique in its customer base as it serves many different trip purposes including those for overnight visitors (many out-of-state), day visitors from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento regions, residents and workers commuting within and outside of the Lake Tahoe Basin. The region also experiences high and shoulder seasons with traffic impacts more substantial during the Summer and Winter.

The TNT/TMA Board recently completed a strategic plan that defines the organization’s important roles in transportation demand management, clarifies its goals, sets priorities, and increases accountability.
