SAVE THE DATES: Join us for transit planning open houses
(Monday, June 24 – Thursday, July 25)
NEW ORLEANS – The Regional Planning Commission (RPC), the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and the Office of Transportation are hosting a series of 11 public meetings in Orleans Parish as part of the transit network redesign project, New Links.
“This project is part of our goal to improve general mobility for our citizens, and is critical to the future of our transit system. Access to transportation is a right, not a privilege, and everyone in our City should be able to get to work in a timely manner by bus, streetcar, ferry or paratransit,” said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. “I look forward to kicking off these public meetings to get input from the public on how the system can be improved, and I am excited about the opportunity this project brings to our citizens.”
New Links is a year-long project to study public transit connectivity in Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard parishes. The goal is to develop recommendations for a network redesign that will ultimately improve the frequency, reliability and integration of public transit across all three parishes. The RPC is leading the study, in partnership with the RTA and Jefferson Transit (JeT), with support from the City of New Orleans.
The 11 public meetings will run from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (See dates below; download flyer here.)
