RTA Partner Organizations
About the Eagle County RTA:
The proposed Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) formation process is a collaboration between Eagle County, the towns and metro districts in the Eagle River Valley, and the Vail Valley’s business community to discuss the viability of formally working together to fund and provide comprehensive transportation services to the residents, businesses and visitors across our community.
- RTA process will engage other stakeholders—including metro districts, business groups, local employers and employees, nonprofits and community members—to identify the region’s top transportation needs.
- Stakeholders will discuss how an RTA can provide transit and mobility services—as well as support for EGE air services—to meet the workforce, economic and climate goals of our communities.
Regional Collaboration:
This process began in response to regional business leaders wanting better solutions for employees and visitors. Similar areas in Colorado, including the Roaring Fork Valley and Gunnison County, have used RTAs and regional cooperation to fund transit needs and improve their transportation services for local users and visitors.
- Now is the time for Eagle County to work toward collaborative solutions that will increase transit and transportation options, while helping employees get to work safely and visitors to enjoy their Eagle County experience.
- RTA members may decide to ask voters in November 2022 to formally approve the RTA and allow it to have funding through dedicated tax.
