The New Orleans region is served by seven public transit providers, operating a mix of services ranging from rural demand response to bus, streetcar and ferry service. The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and Jefferson Transit (JET) are the region’s two largest transit operators, and both agencies serve on the RPC’s Transportation Policy Committee.
The RPC works with the regional transit operators to identify capital projects for the region’s various short- and long-term transportation plans and coordinate between the agencies and other transportation stakeholders.
The RPC also conducts comprehensive planning projects and studies for the agencies. Major recent projects include:
“The Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan identifies strategies for meeting the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, limited English proficiency, and those with low incomes.”
