It's your plan!
The Regional Transportation Authority, a state-established taxing district within Pima County, is finalizing a draft of a new 20-year regional transportation plan (RTA Next) to enhance our economic future through publicly collected and directed funds.
Public input will be key to directing funds toward transportation priorities across the greater Tucson region to meet your everyday needs.

The RTA will seek voter consideration of a new plan (RTA Next) and a new half-cent sales tax at a future election to continue needed regional transportation improvements. The existing voter-approved, 20-year RTA plan and countywide half-cent sales tax expire on June 30, 2026.

A new 20-year regional transportation plan will infuse another $2.46 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.
