Our history
In 1985, the Irvine Company and the City of Irvine collaborated to develop a traffic management plan for the Irvine Spectrum business park. This plan aimed to manage and monitor local traffic and included forming a Transportation Management Association (TMA) to help reduce traffic.
To support this initiative, they established Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). These rules require all property owners in the Irvine Spectrum business park to fund the TMA through property assessments, similar to how homeowners' associations operate. This funding enables Spectrumotion to offer its services free of charge to commuters, employers, and property managers.
Since opening its doors in 1986, Spectrumotion has become a recognized leader in reducing traffic and improving commutes.
