The Regional Transit Authority (RTA), in partnership with the City of New Orleans’ Office of Resilience & Sustainability (ORS) and City Planning Commission (CPC), has been awarded a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning Program grant. The funding, part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s $105 million investment in public transit resilience, will support New Orleans' Equitable Transit-Oriented Communities (ETOC) project. The ETOC planning study aims to support New Orleans’ Climate Action Plan goals and to revitalize underutilized land along the 15-mile East-West Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, which will connect neighborhoods in New Orleans East and the West Bank to the city's downtown area. Funds from the grant will support procurement of a professional consulting team specializing in market analysis, community and economic development, engineering, and public involvement.

The City of New Orleans, through the Office of Resilience and Sustainability (ORS), has been awarded $1.7 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the Communities Sparking Investment in Transformative Energy (C-SITE) program.

The funds will be used to expand the city's Blue Bikes fleet and establish a comprehensive workforce development program, creating new opportunities for residents and supporting New Orleans’ Climate Action Plan goals. This initiative is particularly important for a city like New Orleans, where nearly 1 in 5 households do not have access to their own vehicle.
