Since the 1990s,
Wyeth BioPharma (formerly Genetics Institute) and The Gillette Company
have worked with local Chambers of Commerce and public officials to
reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, advocate for local road
improvements, and increase commuting alternatives for company employees.
In October of 2000,
the Junction Transportation Management Organization, Inc. (TMO) was
incorporated as a consensus-oriented, nonprofit organization of employers,
public sector representatives and business associations working together
to address transportation issues in the Ballardvale St./Lowell Junction
area of Andover and Wilmington.
The TMO is also pleased to provide assistance to its members in complying with the state Department of Environmental Protection’s
RideShare
reporting requirements and in meeting the criteria for being recognized by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency as one of the
Best Workplaces for Commuters™.
With the help of a fulltime coordinator,
a range of commuter services has been developed for employees of the
TMO's member companies.
The Junction TMO is entirely supported by member dues and contributions.
