Who We Are

We're connecting more people to more places to make life better and create equitable opportunities for all!

The Regional Transit Authority builds and operates regional transit service throughout Jefferson, Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes.  

The RTA is responsible for operating transit services bringing commuters to their jobs, students to their schools, and people to entertainment, shopping, and restaurants.  

The RTA system currently includes five streetcar lines, 30 bus routes, and two ferry routes, plus paratransit services. The RTA moves more than 19 million passengers throughout the system every year. This includes the St. Charles Streetcar Line, our system's most highly traveled line and the longest continually operating streetcar in the country, founded in 1835.
