The Pinal County Board of Supervisors established the Pinal Regional Transportation Authority (PRTA) in 2015 as a public improvement and taxing subdivision of the State of Arizona to coordinate multi-jurisdictional transportation planning, improvements and funding. This organization developed a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that was taken to the voters in a November 2017 Special Election.
Pinal County voters approved the RTP and a 20-year, half-cent sales tax to fund the transportation improvements contained in the plan. However, the structure of the tax was challenged in a 2018 lawsuit and ruled invalid by the Arizona Supreme Court in March 2022.
