Regional mobility
authorities (RMAs) are not directly
accountable to the people of Texas. No voter approval is
required for their creation; no voter approval is
required for the selection of their board members or
staff; no voter approval is required for the selection
and funding of their toll projects; nor is voter
approval required for “conversion,” as it is called in
transportation planner’s language.
