New Orleans RTA receives an AA- positive long-term rating by S&P Global Inc.

  • January 29th, 2024

NEW ORLEANS – Last week, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) was awarded an AA- positive long-term rating by S&P Global Inc. S&P Global has upgraded the previous outlook from A+ stable to AA- positive, primarily concerning outstanding sales tax revenue bonds. 

There is potential for another upgrade in two years, as S&P Global expresses confidence that rebounded pledged revenues will remain steady, reinforcing robust coverage and liquidity.

The rating also mirrors RTA’s strong to very strong economic fundamentals, derived from a thriving and diverse economy that serves as a dynamic engine for the state.

With historically low volatility in nationwide sales taxes, the agency maintains an overall strong creditworthiness based on sales tax revenue bonds.

###
