RTA Announces Launch of E-Commerce to Purchase Passes Online
The Regional Transit Authority, RTA, announces the launch of its new e-commerce portal, making the purchase of Jazzy Passes available online.
The new technology was unveiled during the marketing presentation at the RTA Board meeting on Feb. 25, 2014.Riders can use the new e-commerce portal to order and purchase Jazzy Passes online at www.norta.com. Purchases will be delivered directly to customers. Users can also schedule recurring purchases and review their order history by creating a My RTA account or logging into their existing My RTA account. Accepted forms of payment include credit cards, debit cards and e-checks. All orders are subject to a $2.50 convenience fee for processing, shipping and handling. All major credit cards are accepted.
This is another step in an ongoing effort by the RTA Board of Commissioners to improve availability of information that will enhance the rider experience, improve the quality of life for riders and make the transit system more accessible.
Jazzy Passes can still be purchased from RTA Ticket Vending Machines and vendor locations around New Orleans. For a complete list of vendor locations, please visit our website at www.norta.com.
A soft launch period began on Feb. 10, and numerous orders were processed even before the official announcement at the February board meeting. The VTNO Marketing Department is also planning a campaign to assist in further promotion of e-commerce to our riders. This will also be an opportunity to remind the community of all of our great rider tools such as Transit Tracker and Trip Planner to help make riding transit easier.
Moving forward toward festival season, RTA wants to encourage the community to make use of public transportation as an easier, faster and more affordable choice to travel to events in the city. With the anticipated heavy ridership for events such as the French Quarter Festival and the N.O. Jazz and Heritage Festival, we want to remind riders that using our Jazzy Pass is the perfect way to move about with ease. Now, with our new e-commerce portal, purchasing a Jazzy Pass just got even easier.
