The People's Plan
We’re drafting a new 20-year regional transportation plan to enhance our economic future through the use of flexible funds. Public input will be key.
Overview
RTA Next is a public-input process to develop a new regional transportation plan for the Regional Transportation Authority of Pima County. The current voter-approved, 20-year RTA plan and countywide half-cent sales tax expire on June 30, 2026.

Developing a public-driven regional transportation plan

$1.4 billion
Delivering our promise to you
A new, 20-year regional transportation plan will infuse another $2.3 billion into transportation improvements across the region to meet the demands of our changing demographics. A voter-approved investment of flexible RTA funding will help create a safer, more reliable transportation system to improve regional mobility and accessibility, and to drive economic benefits such as business development and expansion, and new jobs.
RTA members include Pima County, the Cities of Tucson and South Tucson, the Towns of Marana, Oro Valley and Sahuarita, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, the Tohono O'odham Nation and the Arizona Department of Transportation. RTA members take the lead on scheduling, managing and building RTA plan projects throughout the region. The RTA manages the voter-approved plan and RTA revenue fund payments to members as they complete projects.
