Sacramento Transportation Management Association
The Sacramento TMA is an
independent, non-profit membership association, representing 182
employers and helping more than 90,740 commuters find alternatives to
driving alone to work.
The TMA was founded in 1989 by employers that were concerned about the
negative impact of Sacramento's traffic congestion and air pollution on
their employees' commutes and quality of life.

Don't Panic!
Commuters
whose employers are
TMA members
have an
Emergency Ride Home
if they don't drive alone to work but need a ride because of a personal
or family emergency.
Register in Commuter Club, above.
Use
Commuter Club to find a carpool! When you log in, you'll be asked
to confirm all your information and if something is missing, to supply
that. Because every person in Commuter Club does this,
if you asked to see possible carpool partners,
you'll get a current matchlist of people that live and work near
you. (No personal information is released.
Then keep checking back because as more and more people update their
information, the carpool matches will get better.

CA Households Could Save $6,400 per Year from Better Community Planning
A new study finds that building communities with access to
transportation options, with housing closer to jobs, shopping,
schools and parks - could save money, cut pollution, reduce our
dependence on oil, and let us spend less time in cars and more
time with our families.
The study shows how changes in land use and infrastructure
decisions can help Californians do all the following:
-
Save $6,400 annually
on auto and utility costs by driving less and living in
homes that use less water and energy.
-
Reduce the number
of miles driven by 3.7 trillion miles by 2050, the
equivalent of taking ALL cars off the roads for 12 years.
-
Save 140 billion
gallons of gasoline to 2050 by reducing miles traveled by
passenger cars. That's the equivalent of two years of
U.S. oil imports.
-
Cities and counties
can save $4.3 billion annually on infrastructure costs by
building more compact neighborhoods.
-
California can save
enough water by 2050 to fill the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in
Yosemite National Park more than 50 times, by building more
compact communities and homes that require less water.
-
California can save
enough energy by 2050 to power EVERY home in the state for 8
years.
