The RMTA receives no federal or state tax dollars.

Revenues from the adjusted tolls will go toward future maintenance and capital improvement projects to better serve RMTA’s customers. Since 2008, operating and maintenance expenses have increased by 23.3 percent as a result of rising prices of materials such as concrete, asphalt and steel.

It is estimated that continued maintenance and capital improvements to the Expressway System for the next 6 years will reach

$96.3 million.

The RMTA has remained committed to continually investing in the Expressway System to meet your evolving needs.

Additional revenue will enable RMTA to continue improving your commuting experience with:

Upgraded infrastructure to offer safe travel including strengthened bridges and smooth roads

Advanced Technology to implement enhanced E-ZPass efficiency

Improved signage, lighting and surveillance systems for overall safety

Driving the RMTA Expressway System is a choice. Therefore, we strive to be a safer and faster form of travel around the Richmond metropolitan community than the alternatives.
