We keep the conversation rolling this week as we are joined by Julie Quinn, Senior Program Manager with TransAction Associates, Inc. and Director of the North Central Massachusetts Rides TMA. Julie dives into what a Transportation Management Association (TMA) is and how they work to improve transit in a region. She dives into the process of establishing the new North Central Massachusetts Ride TMA, the stakeholders involved, what drove them to establish this TMA, how it came to be parked alongside other Chamber affiliates, and the role of TransAction in running the TMA. Julie also touches on the current membership, how the services benefit employers, plans to move the needle forward on transportation with future initiatives, and how your business or organization can join. #podcast #podcaster #podcastshow #podcastlove #businesspodcast #newpodcast #podcastnetwork #podcastcommunity #applepodcasts #spotifypodcast #podernfamily #podbean #newepisode #insidenorthcentralma #insidenorthcentralmassachusettspodcast #mylocalma #visitma #massachusettspodcast #northcentralmassachusetts #choosenorthcentral #TMA #transitsolutions #transportationmanagementassociation #chna9 #transportation #NCMRidesTMA #transortationbarrier #workforcechallenges
