The Merrimack Valley TMA was
founded as the River Road Transportation Management
Association (RRTMA). The TMA is a non-profit
organization of employers and property owners
who are working together to address employee
transportation issues in the Merrimack Valley
area of Andover and along the I-93 and I-495
corridors.
The River Road area and the neighboring
communities of Lawrence, North Andover, and
Methuen have seen an unprecedented amount
of development over the past few years. This
has resulted in a significant amount of traffic.
The TMA was formed in 1997 to serve employers
in the Merrimack Valley area by addressing
issues such as: traffic congestion as well
as road and bridge construction. As traffic
in the region continued to increase, the
River Road TMA expanded to address related
regionwide traffic issues in the communities
of Lawrence, Methuen, and North Andover.
Recently, the TMA has enhanced its role to
serve as a resource for employers to comply
with the Massachusetts Rideshare regulation,
advocate for commuter-oriented legislation,
and serve as a forum for the exchange of
information and ideas that impact economic
development in the greater Andover region.
