LAS VEGAS \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0For the upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday Monday, Jan. 17, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) will operate its fixed route transit system on a Saturday transit schedule. Transit customers can plan their trip using the free and easy-to-use rideRTC app<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Additionally, The RTC will once again be participating in this year\u2019s Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 17, as our community celebrates the accomplishments of this civil rights icon. The parade will be held in Downtown Las Vegas, and is accessible to everyone in the community. Full details about the parade can be found at kingweeklasvegas.com<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Please note that due to an increase in pandemic-related issues and an industry-wide labor shortage, the RTC is experiencing service interruptions throughout our transit system. We understand that our riders daily lives and routines are being impacted and we are encouraging riders to sign up for route-specific text and email alerts, and stay up-to-date on any bus delays using the rideRTC<\/a> app.<\/p>\r\n
