NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA)

The RTA will hold a public hearing during its May Riders Advisory Committee (RAC) meeting to receive public comment on proposed service changes taking effect June 1, 2025. The hearing is being held in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires public engagement for major service changes that may affect minority or low-income populations.

The proposed changes include:

Restoration and reconfiguration of the 49 – Riverfront Streetcar, which will operate along the riverfront between Julia Street and the French Market and no longer serve Canal Street or Union Passenger Terminal.

Overnight service reductions on several bus routes, including a reduction in span of service on Routes 91 Jackson–Esplanade and 103 General Meyer that exceeds two hours.

Additional minor schedule adjustments and stop removals on select routes.

Information about all proposed service changes will be available online at www.norta.com and at the meeting. The public is invited to provide comments verbally during the hearing or in writing by May 7, 2025. Written comments may be submitted by email to comments@norta.com, by mail to RTA Service Planning, 2817 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70119, or by phone through Rideline at (504) 248-3900.
