The NTA

NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd. is the company responsible for the design and construction of a mass transit system for the Tel Aviv metropolis. NTA is a government company founded in 1997 for the purpose of providing appropriate solutions for the metropolis' transit problems. NTA is leading a cultural-national revolution in the field of transportation through construction of the main public transportation system of the Gush Dan region. This mass transit system is the largest and most complex transportation project ever executed in Israel. The Red Line will be the first of a network of Light Rail Transit (LRT) to be operated by NTA. This line represents part of a comprehensive plan to improve the welfare and quality of life of Israel's citizens. In 2010, the government passed a decision to transfer responsibility for execution of the project to NTA. Pursuant to the government decision, NTA began extensive recruitment of professionals in the fields of engineering, design, and infrastructure for purposes of the project.
