Regional Mobility Authority: Creation to Implementation

One of the purposes of Implementation Project 5-4055-01 was to document the activities and issues leading to the possible implementation of a toll project on Loop 49 in Tyler, Texas. The Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) received interest from several organizations about the purpose and function of a regional mobility authority (RMA). This report documents the formation of the Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority (NET RMA) and the continued support it offers to Loop 49 as its primary project. This report provides details of the enabling legislation and the process of the formation, and offers some lessons learned.
