Announcement: Municipal Partnership Act Legislation

If the MPA legislation is passed, it would provide the region with another transportation financing tool that can potentially help us close the revenue gap with our peer regions. The RTA continues to work cooperatively and in partnership with our region’s elected leadership, our public transit providers and the far-reaching list of stakeholders across all four-counties that we interact with who are interested in improving transit and mobility across Southeast Michigan.
