NEW ORLEANS - With severe weather conditions forecasted to move through the region Tuesday night, January 24, into Wednesday morning, January 25, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will temporarily replace streetcar service with bus service beginning at 8 PM today, Tuesday, January 24.

RTA is taking steps to minimize delays and ensure reliability and safety during severe weather. Bus and ferry operations will maintain service as weather conditions allow them to do so safely. If winds are sustained at 35mph, RTA buses will not operate on bridges and overpasses.

Riders should expect service delays during severe weather. All riders are strongly advised to check our website at norta.com/events for postponed public meetings and norta.com/servicealerts or the RTA Le Pass app for up-to-minute service information before starting their trip.
