All we do is win, win, win! 2016 Clean Air Challenge
The Clean Air Challenge is a week-long effort to promote ridesharing and the use of NuRide, the Commonwealth's ride sharing database. From September 17th - 25th, the MVTMA teamed up with MassCommute and MassRIDES to promote the Challenge. This year, we took it a step further and the results yielded four winners from the MVTMA!
We can all agree that transportation and economic development go hand-in-hand. That's why we're pleased to report that the Andover Economic Development Council has been working hard to ensure that the businesses located in Andover are happy and successful. The EDC worked with consultants Nelson/Nygaard to develop a parking management plan for Andover, which is now in its implementation phase. Additionally, the EDC Corporate Outreach team is developing a survey to measure businesses' feedback. More information about the MVTMA's advocacy efforts...
