Approximately 9,000 customers visit the BTC each weekday, making it an ideal location to provide a variety of social services to transit riders and the nearby community.<\/p>\r\n<p>The BTC is located adjacent to both an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportation.gov\/RAISEgrants\/raise-app-hdc\">area of persistent poverty<\/a> and one of the more densely populated food deserts in the region, making it an ideal location to offer programing that expands access to critical resources and services.<\/p>\r\n<p>In August 2020, the RTC Board adopted the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtcsnv.com\/projects-initiatives\/transportation-planning\/coordinated-transportation-plan\/\">Southern Nevada Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan<\/a>,\u201d which suggested co-locating services at transportation hubs. Providing services at a neighborhood level rather than the regional level reduces travel time and cost; reduces strain on the regional transportation network; and helps to facilitate integration of services amongst providers.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>WHAT: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.rtcsnv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/29140636\/FINA_PopUp-Produce-Markets8x11flyer.pdf\">Fresh Produce Pop-Up Event<\/a><br \/>\r\n<\/strong>In partnership with the Southern Nevada Health District and Veggie Buck Truck, this pop-up market provides access to low-cost, fresh fruits and vegetables at about one dollar per pound.<strong><br \/>\r\nWHEN: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wednesday, April 6, 12:30 to 5 p.m., or until supplies last<br \/>\r\n<\/strong><br \/>\r\n<strong>WHAT: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nevada Homeless Alliance Pop-up Connect Event <br \/>\r\n<\/strong>In partnership with Opportunity Village, the Southern Nevada Housing Authority, Southern Nevada Transit Coalition, Clark County Social Services, and the RTC, this event will connect individuals and families with on-site social services including housing assistance, medical care, employment support, hygiene care and other resources.<strong><br \/>\r\nWHEN: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tuesday, April 19, 9 a.m. to noon<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>WHERE:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Both events take place at the<strong> Bonneville Transit Center, 101 E.
