Emeryville Transportation Management Association

The Emeryville Transportation Management Association (ETMA) is a civic league organization based in Sacramento, California, with operations primarily in Emeryville. It is registered under the EIN 943244359 and is involved in improving transportation services in the Emeryville area.

Purpose and Activities

ETMA's primary goal is to enhance mobility and accessibility within Emeryville by managing and operating the Emery Go-Round, a fare-free shuttle service. This service connects residents, employees, and visitors with key locations in Emeryville, including major employers and shopping centers, and provides a frequent link to the MacArthur BART station.

Governance

The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, which includes representatives from both residential and business sectors in Emeryville. The Board holds regular meetings that are open to the public, typically on specific dates each month.

Funding

The Emery Go-Round service is primarily funded by commercial property owners within the citywide Emeryville Property Improvement District. This funding model ensures that the shuttle remains a free and accessible transport option for the community.

Impact

By providing free transportation services, ETMA contributes to reducing traffic congestion and promoting sustainable transportation options in Emeryville. The organization's efforts support the city's goal of developing a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation system.
