Rogue Valley Transportation District is a transportation district serving the greater Jackson County, Oregon area.

The Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) was established May 6, 1975 upon the passing of a special election measure allowing the county to establish a transportation district funded by Oregon tax dollars.〔Cited from Mail Tribune Archive dated April 4, 1975 and May 7, 1975. Archive stored on microfilm at Medford City Public Library.〕 Two years later after considerable planning and procurement of funding, the first transit buses took the streets of Medford, with service beginning in July 1977.〔Kirchmeier, Mark (December 11, 1977). "Rogue Rapids Transit wants people out of cars". ''The Oregonian'', p. B12.〕
==History==
The need for creating RVTD arose when its predecessor, a private company named Mount Ashland Stage Lines, went bankrupt and ceased operating in 1974 after having served the Rogue Valley since 1965.〔 Area voters approved the creation of a new public transit district in 1975, but funding for operations was not included, and subsequent requests for authorization of a property-tax increase to fund the service were rejected at the ballot box.〔 The district's board scaled back the original plans by about 35 percent before finally gaining voter approval of operations funding. The service that was inaugurated in July 1977, initially operating under the name, ''Rogue Rapids Transit'', comprised just three buses serving six routes.〔 Initial ridership on the fledging system was better than expected, prompting the city of Medford to agree to purchase three vans for RVTD's use, which were used for a new shuttle service in the downtown area starting in November 1977.〔 The district's bus fleet has since grown to 20 vehicles.
