The new fare structure aims to simply the fare offerings, incentivize pass sales for riders who use multiple transit modes for their daily commutes, and offer financial relief to RTA passengers as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The RTA will initially hire bus mechanic and body repair technician trainees, both at $23.67 per hour, up to 40 hours per week for a six-month trial period.
The APTA Bus and Rail Safety & Security Excellence Awards recognize public transit providers for their innovative and proactive safety and security programs.
Hear how the RTA is focused on on-time performance, improved customer service, and equity…not to mention plans for a network redesign, and service and vehicle upgrades in the city that is home to the world’s oldest continuously operating streetcar line.
The decision comes as the city is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases of the deadly and highly transmissible Delta variant.
The new monthly and day pass offerings will be accepted on the agency's bus, streetcar, and ferry services beginning July 1.
The agency purchased 22 vehicles to replace vehicles that are at the end of their useful life, many which were purchased after Hurricane Katrina.
The order adds to RTA’s 2019 purchase of 23 Xcelsior buses and will revitalize its fleet by replacing end-of-life vehicles as part of the agency’s strategic mobility plan.
The transition not only signifies a shift in the management structure but also serves as a reset to the core values and culture of the agency, focusing on public service, reliability, and transit equity.
The three new streetcars are equipped with wheelchair lifts at the front and rear of each car. The agency also modified 12 of its streetcar line stops to be ADA compliant.
