Prioritizing our future regional transportation commission of southern nevada

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada a $700,000 Project Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 23, 2025, for the "Prioritizing Our Future" initiative. The award, obligated through September 30, 2028, supports regional transportation planning and infrastructure improvements serving the Las Vegas metropolitan area and Clark County. As the designated metropolitan planning organization and transit authority for Southern Nevada, RTC Southern Nevada will utilize this funding to advance transportation planning priorities that enhance regional mobility, safety, and connectivity across the jurisdiction's transportation network.

Given RTC Southern Nevada's established track record in managing federal transportation grants and the program's emphasis on planning, preliminary engineering, and multimodal infrastructure development, this funding likely supports transportation planning studies, safety improvements, pedestrian and bicycle facility enhancements, or preliminary engineering activities that align with the region's comprehensive transportation planning process. The award reflects FHWA's continued investment in regional transportation initiatives that address infrastructure needs for the over 2.2 million residents and 43 million annual visitors to the Southern Nevada region.
