The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada received a $258,933,088 grant from the Federal Transit Administration's Federal Transit Capital Investment Grants program (CFDA 20.500) to implement a 12.5-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) project along the Maryland Parkway corridor in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Key activities funded by the grant include construction of 25 branded BRT stations, installation of 7.2 miles of dedicated bus-only lanes, and procurement of 15 hydrogen fuel cell electric buses. The project aims to enhance mobility, improve transit service, and support economic growth in the region by providing faster, more efficient public transportation. Additionally, the grant supports infrastructure improvements such as traffic signal priority, intelligent transportation systems, and pedestrian accessibility enhancements within the project corridor. This federal funding will enable the Regional Transportation Commission to replace an existing bus route and deliver a critical BRT service in the Las Vegas Valley.
