About the RTA

The Regional Transportation Authority, an independent taxing district within Pima County, oversees implementation of a 20-year, voter-approved regional transportation plan. The plan is funded by a half-cent excise (sales) tax also approved by Pima County voters in 2006. The RTA's mission is to deliver multimodal transportation projects that improve our region's mobility, safety, environment and economic vitality. To date, the RTA has delivered over $1.4 billion in improvements and services as promised. An RTA Board-established citizens' advisory committee is in the process of developing a new RTA plan for future voter consideration.
