History
In 1971, a small group of Wisconsin transportation leaders founded TDA to advance the development of an efficient, effective, and safe transportation system. Their efforts drew the increasingly strong support of businesses, individuals, communities, and organizations involved in every transportation mode. TDA grew in size, respect, and influence.
Today, TDA is a prime Wisconsin resource for a clear analysis of transportation finance and policy and is a crucial participant in Wisconsin’s transportation planning process. TDA serves more than 400 members and stakeholders and is recognized for nonpartisan expertise, advocacy, and leadership on transportation issues.
