Tabling Events at Salem State University
|
Since late September, the NSTMA has had a regular presence on the Salem State University campus in an effort to promote our programs and services to the community there and increase student participation in our signature Green to School program. At our tabling events, passersby have the opportunity to learn more about how the TMA can help make their commute more affordable, tell us about how we can improve the SSU shuttle to/from the Salem Depot, and fill out a raffle ticket for one of two Amazon gift cards, which will be raffled in early December.

Transit Benefit Parity and the Transportation Bill
|
As it currently stands, the benefit cap for pre-tax contributions to transit passes stands at $130 per month. For parking, that limit is much higher-- at $250 per month. To make matters worse, the parking cap is set to increase to $255 per month in 2016 while the transit cap will remain frozen. The NSTMA is asking for your help to ask Congress for transit benefit parity.

Transportation for America Report

Do you wish you could bike or walk to work but you're not sure where the safest routes exist? Would taking public transit a few times a week add peace of mind to your work week? A new report called What Works: Low-cost ways to encourage walking, biking and transit published by our friends at Transportation for Massachusetts, Livable Streets Alliance, WalkBoston and MAPC provides recommendations on how to encourage "green" commuting at your worksite while staying within your budget.
