The Region 8 Regional Transit Authority (RTA) was formed in the 1970’s to improve, consolidate, and coordinate transportation services in the State of Iowa Planning Area 8. This planning area includes Dubuque County (excluding the City of Dubuque), Delaware County, and Jackson County. The RTA contracts with East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) for management services and office space. The RTA Corporate Board is comprised of all of the County Supervisors from Dubuque, Delaware, and Jackson Counties. The Board meets every other month to review the RTA’s budget and general operating policies.
Services:
RTA provides service to the cities and rural areas of Delaware, Dubuque, and Jackson Counties. Many cities have daily service within their city as well as commuting to other cities, while other communities have service several times per week. The RTA schedule can be flexible to meet a consumer’s needs. All of the RTA services are based on the demand of our clients and are open to the general public. RTA vehicles are equipped to accommodate all people, including children, the elderly and people with disabilities.
As a recipient of Federal financial assistance, The Delaware, Dubuque and Jackson County Regional Transit Authority (RTA) does not exclude, deny benefits to, or otherwise discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, or age in admission to, participation in, or receipt of the services and benefits under any of its programs and activities, whether carried out by the RTA directly or through a contractor or any other entity with which the RTA arranges to carry out its programs and activities.
