Our Story
The Bellevue Downtown Association created Connect Bellevue (formerly TransManage) in 1986 to confront the transportation challenges of a growing downtown. Connect Bellevue is one of the country's longest-standing Transportation Management Associations (TMAs). Our mission could not be more relevant given the growth this region is facing.
Our mission is to enhance Bellevue’s quality of life and economic vitality by promoting transportation options and improving accessibility for all.
The Bellevue Downtown Association was established in 1974 and supports its members with best-in-class advocacy, major community events, and strategic programs to help the Downtown area thrive. The BDA works to spotlight member successes and sustain the leadership and collaboration needed to shape Downtown's Bellevue's growth and progress.
