RTA Committees
The RTA has policy, technical and citizen advisory committees. Most committee recommendations flow through the Executive Director and to the RTA Board. The RTA Citizens Accountability for Regional Transportation (CART) Committee reports directly to the RTA Board.
RTA Citizens Accountability for Regional Transportation (CART) Committee
The CART Committee monitors progress toward implementation of the 20-year RTA plan, approved by Pima County voters in 2006. The committee provides oversight on project delivery and reviews revenue projections and project expenditures. The CART Committee meets twice a year.
RTA Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC)
The CAC provided initial public input on transportation planning efforts for development of the next RTA plan. The CAC collaborated with the RTA Technical Management Committee (TMC) on technical matters during the draft plan development process. The CAC recommended transportation improvement options to the RTA Board for further consideration. On Sept. 26, 2024, the RTA Board approved a draft plan for public input, which was collected via a survey and in-person input from November 2024 through January 2025. Once a final plan is approved, the RTA Board will set a date for a future election. The CAC’s work toward plan development has been completed. No future CAC meetings are scheduled.
RTA Technical Management Committee (TMC)
The TMC is a technical and policy advisory committee that monitors the technical performance of the voter-approved RTA plan and provides input to the RTA CART Committee and CAC. The TMC, which includes technical representatives from RTA member jurisdictions and the private sector, meets as scheduled.
