RTA issues statement on the passing of Earline Roth
- July 22nd, 2024
NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority Board of Commissioners and the entire RTA family extend our condolences on the passing of Earline Roth. Ms. Roth represented Orleans Parish on the RTA Board of Commissioners from 1995 to 2019, and she also briefly served on the RTA Special Transit Advisory Board. She was a fierce advocate for so many of our most vulnerable residents, including but not limited to our seniors, people with disabilities, our children, and those most impacted by climate change. We will be forever indebted to Ms. Roth for her service and her passion and wish healing for her family and friends.
