ARTMA, the
Annapolis Regional Transportation Management Association, administers
a commuter assistance program for residents and employers in
Annapolis and Anne Arundel County. Carpooling is a great way
to save money. ARTMA can match you with people who have a similar
commute pattern so you can join a carpool or vanpool. When you
share the ride, you also share the expenses. ARTMA can also
provide you with information about other commuting alternatives,
including bus, train, bicycle, and Metro schedules and locations,
so you can determine the most cost effective and efficient way
to get to work. Save yourself time and money, contact ARTMA
today at 410.269.RIDE or visit us at www.artma.org.
With support
from Anne Arundel County, the MTA, and our members, ARTMA advocates
the value of a sound transportation infrastructure and promotes
commuter options, which save money, time, and our quality of
life while reducing congestion and pollution. For more information
