Get Involved

Public involvement is an important part of RTA Next plan development. A citizens’ advisory committee, with members of diverse interests geographically representing the region, was established by the Regional Transportation Authority Board to assist with drafting a new 20-year regional transportation plan for board review.

In September 2024, after considering input from the advisory committee and technical experts, the RTA Board approved a draft plan for public review. The RTA is seeking public input from across the greater Tucson region through open houses, in-person and virtual, as well as through stakeholder and one-on-one meetings. Once the public reviews the plan and provides feedback, the RTA Board will consider additional revisions to the plan before placing it on a ballot for future voter consideration. Public comments will be received until the board’s approval of the final plan.

Here are ways you can get involved, submit comments and sign up to receive news and updates on future RTA Next outreach activities:

• RTA Board and committee meetings are open to the public, and notices are posted online a minimum of 24 hours in advance of the meetings.
• The public may submit call to the audience comments as directed in the meeting notice at the top of each posted agenda.
• The public may share feedback on regional transportation priorities at any time at info@RTAmobilty.com.
• Public comments on the draft plan may be submitted through online comment forms and at other RTA-sponsored events.

Public Outreach

The RTA uses a variety of outreach methods to seek feedback from the public. During public review of the draft plan, a variety of materials will be available to help answer questions and to share the transportation and economic benefits of the proposed improvements.

Here are a few examples of outreach methods that may be used:

• Public notices/brochures
• Public meetings – Open Houses (virtual or in-person)
• Community group presentations (Q&A)
• Stakeholder group meetings (Q&A)
• Surveys (Pop up or other survey methods)
