Welcome to the Regional Transportation Authority

The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) offers Middle Tennesseans transportation solutions. The mission of RTA is to offer the citizens of Middle Tennessee choices and alternatives on how they commute to work each day and to coordinate local regional transportation services. By maximizing federal, state, and local funds with fares, RTA provides and/or manages regional commuter bus service, hundreds of vanpools and carpools, and Tennessee’s first commuter rail service, the RTA Music City Star.

As Middle Tennessee grows, RTA will continue to provide commuters with comfortable, convenient, and affordable alternatives to the stress and high cost of commuting to work alone. An additional benefit, as traffic improves so does air quality. On-road vehicle emissions contribute significantly to air pollution.
