Regional Transit Master Plan

The RTA is creating new and better ways to move and connect our community. The RTMP is a vital guide—a realistic roadmap and unified vision—to move people, strengthen transit access, and enhance rider experiences. We coordinate the community discussions and transit projects that bring that vision to life.

Transit Services & Partners

Our services and partners are connecting Southeast Michigan. We’re working together to reimagine transit across Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties.
