Advocates for commuter-oriented and sustainability legislation

The Merrimack Valley TMA was founded as the River Road Transportation Management Association (RRTMA) in 1997. The MVTMA is a non-profit organization composed of employers and residential property owners who are working together to address transportation issues in Andover and North Andover as well as the Gateway Cities of Lawrence, Methuen and Haverhill.

The TMA has enhanced its role to serve as a resource for employers to comply with the Massachusetts Rideshare regulations, advocate for commuter-oriented and sustainability legislation, and serve as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas that impact economic development in the greater Andover region.
