Welcome to the North Shore TMA's Cycling Corner!

 

Mission Statement


It is the mission of the North Shore TMA Cycling Committee to increase commuting by bicycle in our member communities. We will do this by educating member employees regarding the benefits of cycling, enhancing communication through social media, and advocating with member companies, and state and local governments for cycling resources.

To achieve its mission, the NSTMA Cycling Committee has created the Cycling Corner. This page is dedicated to providing information, links, and resources to support member employees who are interested in cycling to/from work/home and recreational biking in and around the North Shore TMA's service area.
