Accountability
The Regional Transportation Authority has a proven track record of accountability on project delivery and financial management of its 2006 voter-approved, 20-year regional transportation plan.
You can count on this same level of accountability with RTA Next:
- The RTA Board will seek citizens’ oversight to monitor project delivery and financial management of your investments
- The RTA will provide project and financial progress reports
- The RTA will publish an annual report to the public in two newspapers before Jan. 1 of each year
- The RTA will be required to undergo state-mandated performance audits every five years and has successfully completed 10-year and 15-year audits of the 2006 plan
- The RTA is an independently governed organization (not the city or county) to develop and manage a regional transportation plan and seek public approval of a sales tax to fund it
The RTA provides significant funding (over $100 million annually) to help meet the region’s overall transportation priorities to support safety, reliability, connectivity and economic vitality.
