In an effort to help create a safer, more mobile Oakland, OTMA is involved in many beneficial programs throughout the region. These activities achieve a variety of positive results including but not limited to promoting public health and safety, strengthening community relations, and increasing commuters’ awareness of alternative modes of travel.
Below are just a few of the programs which OTMA is currently involved:
WalkPittsburgh.org provides resources and support to encourage walking as a viable commuting option, improve pedestrian safety, communicate the health and economic benefits of walking, and ensure that walkability is factored into transportation and development plans.

Oakland Smart Commute is a new initiative brought to you by the Oakland Transportation Management Association in partnership with the Oakland Business Improvement District and Commute Info.
