North Shore TMA Forum:
Solutions to Transportation, Congestion, Access, & Sustainability
Traffic and congestion have a significant impact on the prosperity of our communities and the businesses operating within those communities. The bottom line for most people these days is time. Because, after all: TIME IS MONEY. Employees and customers must be able to access businesses/institutions in a reasonable amount of time with limited frustration. Improvements to infrastructure are critical, but must be linked with other options that reduce congestion as well.
The North Shore TMA Forum: Solutions to Traffic, Congestion, Access, & Sustainability is an opportunity to learn more about how some North Shore businesses, communities, and organizations are working together to develop cost-effective, environmentally sustainable solutions that increase access and reduce the stress of commuting to their facility for employees and customers.
We invite you to join us for a continental breakfast and informative panel presentation along with an opportunity to network with planning directors and business leaders in the North Shore region on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 from 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM; City of Salem Planning & Community Development, 120 Washington Street – 3rd Floor, Salem, MA. This event is FREE, but to help us better plan for the forum, registration is required by Friday, November 11, 2011..
