About Us

The Joint Regional Transportation Agency (JRTA) is a provincial Crown Corporation that is tasked with addressing transportation issues associated with rapid growth in Halifax and surrounding communities (approximately a one-hour travel time from Halifax).

A key deliverable for the JRTA is the development of the Regional Transportation Plan. The plan will consider all modes of transportation that move people (walking/rolling, cycling, buses, ferries, trains, vehicles), goods (trucks, trains, ships, planes), and the infrastructure (streets, active transportation facilities, highways, bridges, rail corridors, ports - marine, ground, air) needed to make this possible.
