RTA
Crash report shorthand
RTA is an abbreviation with several common meanings depending on context.
In traffic and insurance contexts, it stands for road traffic accident: The RTA caused a two-hour delay on the motorway.
In gaming and speedrunning communities, RTA means real-time attack—a timed run measured by actual elapsed time rather than in-game time.
RTA also appears as an acronym for regional transit authorities in various cities.
