In 2030, an agreement was reached between the city of Rosslyn and the PCMTA whereby the metropolitan authority would reimburse the city for its expenditures related to the Tide Light Rail. In return, the city would transfer control of the light rail system to the PCMTA, allowing for its integration into the broader transit network. Consequently, on 1 March 2031, after realigning tracks at the PCLR-RTLR transfer on the Green Line to facilitate through-running, the RTLR was incorporated into the PCLR as the Siren Branch lines. The five RTLR lines—Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple—were re-designated within the PCLR system. The RTLR Green Line was merged with the existing PCLR Orange Line, retaining the Orange Line's color designation, and the RTLR Orange Line was redesignated as the Gold Line. | In 2030, an agreement was reached between the city of Rosslyn and the PCMTA whereby the metropolitan authority would reimburse the city for its expenditures related to the Tide Light Rail.

Rosslyn is served by an extensive network of bus lines that ensures all of its residents have access to the broader metropolitan area, tying the region's cities even closer together. Historically, the automobile was the primary means of transportation for the majority of residents due to focus primarily around the central metropolitan area rather than its peripheries, and as such, Rosslyn is also supported by a comprehensive network of freeways and highways. [[Verona State Highway 80|State Highway 80]] traverses the city, and its proximity to various other state highways provides numerous routes for residents. The Palm Coast Beltway, designated as [[Verona State Highway 40|State Highway 40]], passes just inside the northern city limits and offers direct connections to downtown Sierra, Lynnhaven, the Twin Cities, and central Andina County. | Rosslyn is served by an extensive network of bus lines that ensures all of its residents have access to the broader metropolitan area, tying the region's cities even closer together.
