The public is invited to attend the remaining Regional Transportation Authority open houses in December and January on the draft RTA Next plan, a $2.46 billion regional transportation plan. Open houses provide the chance to hear a presentation, view plan documents, ask questions, and give input on the 20-year draft plan.
A survey on the draft regional transportation plan also is open through January for public input.
The RTA Next draft plan outlines regional roadway, transit, environmental, safety, ADA, active transportation (bicycle and pedestrian) and arterial reconstruction improvements for the next 20 years in the greater Tucson region.
The input you provide will help the RTA Board to prepare a final plan for a future election. A tentative election date is set for November 2025 for Pima County voters to consider the draft plan and a countywide RTA half-cent sales tax to fund it.
The draft RTA Next plan in brief:
- Roadway corridors – $1.44 billion
- Safety and Active Transportation – $206.8 million
- Transit – $610 million
- Environmental – $25 million
- Arterial roadway reconstruction – $20 million
