Cross County Connection TMA

What Cross County Connection TMA does

Cross County Connection TMA (CCCTMA) is a private, nonprofit Transportation Management Association established in 1989 as the designated regional TMA for the seven-county southern New Jersey region covering Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties. The organization coordinates transportation services and programs that reduce single-occupancy vehicle travel, with a portfolio that includes multi-county commuter shuttle networks connecting to NJ TRANSIT bus and rail and PATCO stations, the statewide Safe Routes to School program for K-8 students, Complete Streets planning and demonstration services, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure planning, travel training programs for disadvantaged and disabled populations, carpool and vanpool matching, employer commuter benefits assistance, EV infrastructure advisory, and air quality/anti-idling programs.

CCCTMA operates through a coordination model rather than direct service delivery in most cases, leveraging partnerships with NJDOT, NJ TRANSIT, SJTA, PATCO, DVRPC, SJTPO, NJTPA, FHWA, Rutgers VTC, and Sustainable Jersey. Service delivery channels include county-operated shuttles (BurLINK in Burlington, To-Work in Cumberland, etc.), connection services to regional transit, an interactive transportation mapping tool on driveless.com, community events reaching an estimated 4,200 attendees in 2024, and multi-channel digital outreach via newsletters, social media, and YouTube video content. Quantifiable outcomes include over 6.2 million vehicle miles saved by carpoolers in the prior year and assistance to over 100 South Jersey communities with bicycle and pedestrian planning initiatives.

The organization's revenue model is structured around government funding (federal pass-through grants, NJDOT program administration contracts) and membership-based contributions from county governments, employers, and social service organizations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; Cape May shuttles are fare-free, while some services require registration. Revenue figures are not available in the source data. Headcount is 11-50 employees, and the organization maintains its headquarters at 10,000 Lincoln Drive E., Suite 102, Marlton, NJ. In 2024, CCCTMA administered the statewide Safe Routes to School Recognition Program coordinating 354 school and municipal award recipients and earned the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency.
