WHAT IS HAPPENING?

On Monday, June 4th, Jefferson Parish Transit and Regional Transit Authority (RTA) reduced and/or eliminated service on many of their most popular bus routes. These cuts--which include eliminating the E1 Veterans connection to the New Orleans CBD via Canal Street, discontinuing the E6 Metairie Local bus line, and significantly cutting service on many other routes on both the East and West Bank--will cause significant harm to Jefferson Parish residents who rely on the bus to access work, school, and other destinations. While these service reductions will hit hardest for the region's poorest and most vulnerable residents, they will also cause economic harm to the region as a whole by cutting access to major retail and employment destinations.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?!

Ride New Orleans (RIDE) is coordinating several volunteer shifts on Monday, June 12th in our continued effort to help riders navigate their new routes. 

SIGN-UP FOR ONE (OR MORE) VOLUNTEER SHIFT AND RIDE WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH DETAILS. 

Please meet outside of Morning Call (5101 Canal Blvd.) at the start of the shift.
