50 Corridor Transportation Management Association

What 50 Corridor Transportation Management Association does

50 Corridor Transportation Management Association (50 Corridor TMA) is a Sacramento, California-based non-profit Transportation Management Association founded in 1989 that helps residents and employees in the Sacramento region shift from single-occupancy driving to walking, biking, carpooling, vanpooling, and transit. It serves two distinct customer bases: (1) employers and workplaces (including California state agencies, healthcare systems, universities, and large private employers such as SMUD, SacRT, UC Davis Health, Dignity Health, Sacramento State, VSP, and Golden 1 Center) who purchase annual workplace memberships to deliver commuter benefits to employees; and (2) households in designated residential communities (Vineyard, sub-areas of Rancho Cordova, Rosemont, and Folsom Ranch) who pay an annual assessment fee and are entitled to benefits including $25/month free transit fare and the Guaranteed Ride program. The organization also receives grant funding from the City of Rancho Cordova to deliver city-wide services through 2029.

Its core product suite comprises six programs: Bike Events (community rides, free tune-ups, ebike test rides), Carpool Matching (including Enterprise vanpool facilitation), Free Transit Passes ($25/month fare credit plus guided field trips), Trip Concierge Services (personalized transportation planning), Guaranteed Ride (up to 5 free Uber/Lyft/Yellow Cab rides per year when sustainable-commute plans fail), and Workplace Memberships (the umbrella program). Delivery is anchored on the NorCalGo.org platform, which handles member accounts, transit benefits, carpool incentives, and Guaranteed Ride voucher redemption, and which integrates with SacRT light rail and bus, Capitol Corridor, Amtrak, Uber, Lyft, Yellow Cab, Via, SacRT SmaRT Ride, Enterprise vanpool, and Google Maps layers. In 2025 the organization merged with Sacramento TMA, the oldest TMA in the region and formerly one of the largest in the country, combining the two entities while continuing to operate under the 50 Corridor TMA identity.

Revenue is generated through three streams: annual workplace membership subscriptions (pricing disclosed only via price sheet upon inquiry), annual residential assessment fees collected in eligible planned communities, and jurisdictional grant funding (managed-services treatment). The organization is governed by a 13-member board of directors including public-agency representation (Caltrans, Sacramento Metro AQMD, City of Rancho Cordova, Sacramento County Department of Airports, California Air Resources Board, SMUD, SacRT) alongside employer members, reflecting its hybrid public-private governance model typical of regional TMAs.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Luum: Commute-management software platform providing TDM solutions for employers, campuses, and TMAs — comparable technology layer serving the same employer TDM market 50 Corridor addresses through its workplace memberships.
• RideAmigos: Software platform that powers commuter-management, trip-reduction tracking, and TDM programs for employers and TMAs — a vendor/competitor that could white-label or replace parts of 50 Corridor's offering on the NorCalGo.org platform.

Others

• Enterprise Commute / Commute with Enterprise: National vanpool and commuter-shared-mobility division of Enterprise Mobility, a channel partner that 50 Corridor resells/introduces to members — comparable in the vanpool-specific commute-assistance niche but operates as a national commercial vendor rather than a non-profit TMA.

Broad incumbents

• SACOG (Sacramento Area Council of Governments): Regional planning agency that oversees transportation and air-quality planning across the six-county Sacramento region — 50 Corridor sits within SACOG's footprint and serves overlapping employers on regional mobility goals.
• SacRT (Sacramento Regional Transit District): Sacramento's public transit operator — a core strategic partner and largest transit provider in the region whose light rail and bus network forms the backbone that 50 Corridor's transit-pass and field-trip programs leverage.

Direct peers

• Commute.org: San Mateo County's Transportation Management Association offering employer and resident commuter programs — same TMA model (workplace memberships, residential services, transit incentives, carpool matching) as 50 Corridor, but in the Bay Area.
• OCTA (Orange County Transportation Authority) Employer Programs: Orange County's regional transit authority providing employer-facing TDM programs including commute incentives, carpool matching, and vanpool services — analogous role and service mix to 50 Corridor.
• 511.org (MTC): Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission's regional commuter-information and incentive platform — comparable trip-planning, rideshare-matching, and employer-program capabilities operated at the MPO level.
• Valley Metro Commute Solutions: Phoenix-area commuter-assistance program offering employer partnerships, carpool matching, and trip-reduction services — same TMA/commuter-assistance function in a different Sun Belt metro.
• iCommute (SANDAG): San Diego Association of Governments' commuter-assistance program providing trip reduction, carpool matching, telework resources, and employer incentives — a direct functional equivalent for a different Southern California region.
