New Orleans Regional Transit Authority | Company Profile - Revenue, Headcount, Tech Stack, Contacts

The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (NORTA) is a public transit agency established in 1979 to operate bus, streetcar, and ferry services in the New Orleans metropolitan area. It took over operations from the New Orleans Public Service Inc. in 1983 and has since managed a unified transit network with established routes and a single fare structure. NORTA has focused on revitalizing and modernizing services, particularly after Hurricane Katrina, leading to significant increases in ridership and service hours.

The agency operates several streetcar lines, including the historic St. Charles Avenue line, and an extensive bus network that has seen improvements in frequency and service hours. With a fare structure that has remained stable since 1999, its services support the city's urban development, catering to the general public, residents, and visitors.
