(New Orleans, LA)- Starting this Sunday, October 16th, the Regional Transit Authority in New Orleans (RTA) will be adding special streetcar service between Union Passenger Terminal (UPT) and Harrah's Casino during Saints home games to provide our Who Dat Nation with more access to the Superdome. Service will operate every 20 minutes from 10:00am to 6:40pm.

Many of RTA's bus and streetcar routes provide easy, direct access to Downtown and the areas surrounding the Superdome. See the route maps and schedules, and use the tools on RTA's mobile-friendly website at www.norta.com.
• The Trip Planner helps take you from one address to another.
• The Service Nearby tool tells you which bus and streetcar stops are close by.
• Our Service Alerts page indicates any temporary delays or detours on bus or streetcar lines.

Purchase a Jazzy Pass in advance at local retailers like Walgreens and Unique Grocery for unlimited rides and transfers on all RTA busses and streetcars. To find a Jazzy Pass vendor near you visit us online at http://www.norta.com/Fares-Passes/Jazzy-Pass.aspx

You can also GoMobile by downloading RTA's mobile ticketing app that allows you to purchase and store Jazzy Passes directly on your smartphone. The new Integrated Pass is only available via GoMobile, and it allows unlimited rides on all busses, streetcars, and ferries for only $7 per day.
