What booko bucks does

TMA Bucks is a nonprofit Transportation Management Association founded in 1999 and headquartered in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that delivers traffic safety education, commute alternatives coordination, and transportation planning services to county residents, schools, employers, and municipalities. Its core service portfolio centers on the Community Traffic Safety Program — in-school BMX stunt shows, bicycle and helmet safety assemblies, impaired/distracted driving demonstrations using fatal-vision goggles, and school bus safety presentations — alongside annual challenges such as the NJM Insurance-presented High School Seatbelt Safety Challenge, the Comcast-powered Teen Driver Safety Video PSA Challenge, and the Teen Safe Driving ROADeo. Beyond safety education, TMA Bucks operates the DVRPC Share-A-Ride carpool/vanpool matching service (technically hosted on the AgileMile platform), delivers SEPTA travel training to students and seniors, runs an Air Quality Partnership program, and disseminates PennDOT road work updates to commuters affected by I-95 and U.S. 1 corridor construction.

The organization does not develop proprietary technology; its technical footprint is limited to a WordPress website (tmabucks.com), standard social media channels, and integration with the third-party Share-A-Ride matching widget. TMA Bucks is governed by a Board of Directors currently presided over by Danielle Bodnar (Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce Executive Director), with Steve Noll as Executive Director and a small operational team of project coordinators and a program manager. Revenue is generated through membership dues, government grants (federal Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside funding channeled via DVRPC's Travel Options Program, plus PennDOT coordination funding), and corporate sponsorships (NJM Insurance, Comcast), with all services provided free of charge to schools, organizations, and residents.
