New Orleans Regional Transit Authority launches transit app
The new Le Pass app allows users to live track New Orleans Regional Transit Authority’s buses, streetcars and ferries, and Jefferson Transit’s buses in Jefferson Parish.
Le Pass seeks to provide riders in new Orleans with a more efficient and seamless transit experience
New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) has released Le Pass as the city’s official transit application, replacing the existing GoMobile app ahead of service changes.
Le Pass seeks to provide passengers with a more efficient and seamless transit experience – trip planner, mobile payment, and real-time information – all from one app.
Streetcars and ferries
The new Le Pass app allows users to live track RTA’s buses, streetcars and ferries, and Jefferson Transit’s (Jet) buses in Jefferson Parish.
The transit application, Le Pass, is free and available to download on Apple and Android devices.
Additionally, Le Pass features service alerts and message notifications to ensure riders have up-to-date information to avoid disruptions on usual routes and plan their journey accordingly. Le Pass is powered by Moovit’s white label app with Token Transit’s fare payment technology.
“The bus routes are a collaborative effort between RTA, our riders, and the community and are a critical step toward improving transit services”
RTA is encouraging riders to download Le Pass in preparation for a bus network redesign that comes into effect on 25 September and will impact almost every route. RTA reports the bus network has not changed since 2004, and the redesign will significantly improve services and offer more equitable access to jobs, education, and other essential destinations.

“We are continuously working to build a world-class transit system – Le Pass and the bus network redesign are examples that demonstrate the agency’s commitment to improving mobility,” said Alex Wiggins, CEO of RTA.
“The bus routes are a collaborative effort between RTA, our riders, and the community and are a critical step toward improving transit services. With increased frequencies, shorter trips and wait times, and expanded bus service in areas that need it most, we’re proud of the upcoming route changes and want to ensure that our riders are prepared ahead of 25 September.”
RTA anticipates the new Le Pass app trip planner features will make the transition easier, but intends to be at many bus stops over the next few weeks, talking to riders directly and helping them navigate through this service change.
To prepare riders’ transition to Le Pass and the upcoming bus route changes, RTA plans to host a new app, new routes open house, at Duncan Plaza, 343 Loyola Avenue on 25 August. Riders and members of the community are encouraged to attend to learn more about Le Pass and the 25 September service changes.
