The changes are as follows:
Buses and streetcars
Monday through Friday, fixed-route buses and streetcars will operate on a Saturday schedule.
Weekend service remains unchanged.
Paratransit services
Paratransit services will continue to operate as normal.
RTA will be “prioritizing reservations with life-sustaining reservations taking precedence.” The authority is asking riders to limit the number of trips for recreation.

The Chalmette Ferry schedule will remain on the usual schedule.
