Letter from the CEO of the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, Lona Edwards Hankins Dear Riders, This has been an extraordinary time for our city, as New Orleans once again displayed How New Orleans Rolls with the Taylor Swift Eras Tour and the excitement it brought. At RTA, we’ve been dedicated to expanding our services to meet the needs of both residents and visitors. We’ve strengthened our transit network, ensuring affordable and accessible options for everyone, especially the tourism workers and culture bearers who keep this city thriving. We’re excited to support our community with free fare initiatives like Roll to the Polls, which offers free rides for the upcoming election to encourage civic participation. Due to existing revenue, we’ve been able to maintain low fares and even implement fare-free days to help New Orleanians reach key destinations, whether it’s work, leisure, or the polls. A permanent funding stream for the Algiers Ferry is a crucial step to transforming our transit, allowing us to make long-lasting improvements that serve both the community and the tourism sector. Making these improvements will help us fulfill our commitment to our riders by addressing our five key priorities: World-Class Ridership Experience Innovation Regional Connections Equity Workforce Development Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, let’s keep New Orleans rolling forward in a way that benefits all. Lona Edwards Hankins

🚍✨ RTA and the City of New Orleans have won a federal grant to boost transit-oriented communities! Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration’s $105M public transit resilience fund, this project will support equitable, sustainable development in New Orleans. “This $950,000 grant will support the alignment of future development with New Orleans’ first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, a 15.1-mile route designed to provide more accessible, reliable, and sustainable transit throughout the city,” RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins said.

According to a survey, 30 percent of transit riders don’t know where to vote and another 30 percent don’t know how to get to their polling station. In New Orleans, 1 in 5 households don’t have access to a car. RTA is making it easier for both. With our “Roll to the Polls,” fares are being waived for all buses, streetcars and ferries on Election Day – Tuesday, Nov. 5! Not sure where to vote? Find your precinct at geauxvote.com and use your Le Pass app to plan your trip. RTA is “How New Orleans rolls”! . . . . . . . . #rolltothepolls #howneworleansrolls #earlyvoting #transitequity #equity #geauxvote #electionday #farefree

Yesterday, CEO Lona Edwards Hankins joined other transit leaders for @rideneworleans’ State of Transit Breakfast and Briefing and a roundtable discussion. This gathering of decision-makers, city leaders, transit riders, and community advocates provided a forum to discuss the investment our transit system needs to best serve riders, and how we can work together to make it happen. CEO Hankins was also joined by Tierrani Clark-Esteen, RTA Transit Road Supervisor; City Councilmember Eugene Green, Chair, Transportation Committee; Greg Nichols, Deputy Chief Resilience Officer, Office of Resilience & Sustainability; Jarred Jupiter, New Orleans educator and civic leader; Lavonte Lucas, Lede New Orleans journalist and youth advocate; and moderator Kelsey Foster, Executive Director, Algiers Economic Development Foundation.

Last week, CEO Lona Edwards Hankins hosted several members of the Mayor’s Office including its Intergovernmental Relations team on a guided tour of our Carrollton Streetcar Barn – home of the century-old Perley A. Thomas streetcar as well as the master craftsmen who make living history happen on our historic St. Charles line. Most of our part components are handcrafted by these employees, starting from the ground up using raw materials. The average tenure of Rail Maintenance personnel is about 15 years, which demonstrates a remarkable level of experience but also presents a challenge to develop the next generation of this vital workforce. . . . . . . @cityofnola #neworleansstreetcars #workforcedevelopment #stcharles #stcharlesstreetcar #perleyathomas #howneorleansrolls
