Electrification

Overview of RTA member recognition program.

Advancing electrification in transportation can benefit the environment and regional economy, lower costs, and reduce maintenance needs.

Consistent with our approved 2025 RTA business plan, RTA has created a initiative to recognize our members that have taken one or more specific actions* to support electrification in transportation. This is an ongoing initiative; we incorporated an initial recognition for members at our RTA annual meeting on January 24, 2025.

Thank you for your support of business leadership and for regional mobility and innovation.
