Home - Regional Transportation Authority
Description
The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) serves Tucson, Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Sahuarita, South Tucson and the Tohono O’odham Nation.
Legislation to establish the RTA was signed by Gov. Janet Napolitano in April 2004 and the RTA became effective Aug. 25, 2004.
An elected official from each local jurisdiction and a representative of the Arizona Department of Transportation serve on the RTA board. A 20-year regional transportation plan was developed with the assistance of a 35-member Citizens Advisory Committee and a 22-member Technical Management Committee.
The plan, which Pima County voters approved on May 16, 2006, includes various modes of transportation to connect people with work, school, shopping, appointments and entertainment. The $2.1 billion plan is funded by a countywide half-cent excise (sales) tax.
The RTA board continues to meet monthly and a 32-member Citizens Accountability for Regional Transportation (CART) Committee meets quarterly to oversee plan implementation as promised to the voters.
