Click to Tweet:<\/a> Transit may be back and better than ever! More service, more routes, more frequency. @RTCSNV opens 45-day comment period to gather community input on system-wide transit service changes. Find all details at rtcsnv.com\/servicechange2021<\/a>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

LAS VEGAS<\/strong> \u2013 As a result of the pandemic, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) has received federal stimulus funding to restore and enhance essential public transit service. The RTC\u2019s proposal includes expanding the current service area, extending routes, increasing bus frequency and introducing new routes and a new on-demand transit service. The community is encouraged to provide their input during a 45-day public comment period from Thursday, April 15, through May 31.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt is critically important that we continue to engage and hear from our community about the transportation services that they need and want,\u201d said M.J. Maynard, RTC chief executive officer. \u201cI am particularly proud that the proposed service changes identified through our On Board plan will provide more equity, connectivity and accessibility to 185,000 valley residents who currently do not have access to transit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

All details of the proposed service changes can be found at rtcsnv.com\/servicechange2021<\/a>. Additionally, service change details will be posted on all transit vehicles and sent to current transit customers. RTC staff will also be out in the community over the next 45 days to engage with individuals around the valley. Dates, times and locations will be announced each week.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The public is invited to share their thoughts about the proposed changes via a brief survey online at rtcsnv.com\/servicechange2021<\/a>. Survey respondents, in person or online, can automatically receive a 24-hour transit pass, or enter for a chance to win a gift card in a weekly drawing. The survey will be open through Monday, May 31.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In addition to being able to provide comment 24\/7 online, the public can also voice their opinion at one of five public meetings:<\/span><\/p>\r\n
