What is a Regional Mobility Authority?
A regional mobility authority (RMA) is a political subdivision formed by one or more counties to finance, acquire, design, construct, operate, maintain, expand or extend transportation projects. These projects may be tolled or non-tolled.
In 2004, the Texas Legislature moved decision-making to the local level through the Texas Metropolitan Mobility Plan, and authorized a Regional Mobility Authority – one of the first five formed in Texas – for Cameron County.
These changes mean that a whole new responsibility for mobility needs and the economics of good transportation planning now reside with our local government, in addition to state level planning. However, this also means that the responsibility for funding mobility needs also rests squarely with citizens of Cameron County.
The CCRMA was established on September 30, 2004. Governor Rick Perry appointed David Allex of Harlingen as the Chairman of the RMA.
CCRMA Mission Statement
The Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority will make significant contributions to a high quality of life by providing residents, businesses and state, national and international visitors with effective, accelerated mobility improvements to encourage economic development in South Texas … from borders to beaches.
The Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority will use local leadership, management and local business resources to build transportation projects sooner – providing alternatives to save time, increasing safety for the local traveling public and creating a more pleasing
destination for business and leisure travelers – all of which support job creation.
The Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority will work in conjunction with local,
state, and federal planning and funding organizations to develop a strategy and plan to generate revenue for maintaining and improving the total transportation system.
CCRMA Vision Statement
The achievement of an efficient, locally-managed world-class regional mobility organization that supports economic development, facilitates life-saving medical and emergency services and promotes the overall quality of life in our region.
