Who We Are
The Hidalgo County Regional Mobility Authority (HCRMA) is an independent government agency established in 2005 by the Texas Transportation Commission and the Hidalgo County Commissioners Court to accelerate transportation projects in Hidalgo County. Guided by a local board of directors, the HCRMA focuses on advancing mobility solutions that address local needs, improve quality of life, and support economic growth for the region’s residents.
What is an RMA?
A Regional Mobility Authority (RMA) is a local transportation authority that can build, operate, and maintain toll roads along with other transportation projects. The Texas Legislature authorized the creation of RMAs in 2001 under Senate Bill 342.
Overseen by a seven member board of directors, an RMA brings local leadership to the local issues impacting our transportation network.
RMAs provide a new, more flexible way to construct critical mobility improvements by allowing the use of local dollars to leverage revenue bonds.
Individual or multiple counties can form an RMA to address local transportation needs more quickly than would be possible under traditional methods, and excess revenues can be used for other transportation projects in the area.
