About this file
This document is a legislative bill (Senate Bill No. 426) from Nevada's 83rd Session (2025) that establishes regulatory authority for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), the Nevada Department of Transportation, and local law enforcement agencies within the Lake Tahoe Basin. The bill creates the Lake Tahoe Basin Scenic Byway Corridor Recreation Safety Zone, encompassing portions of U.S. Highway 50, Nevada State Route 28, Nevada State Route 431, and Nevada State Route 207 that connect to recreational destinations or are designated as scenic byways. The legislation authorizes the Department of Transportation and local law enforcement to establish traffic control measures, parking restrictions, and prohibitions within the Safety Zone. Additionally, these entities are permitted to enter into agreements with state agencies, local governments, local governmental agencies, or the Tahoe transportation district to develop public parking facilities, provide parking enforcement, and issue citations or notices of noncompliance.
The bill authorizes the Department of Transportation to establish and collect fees for public parking on certain land within the Safety Zone and to enter into agreements with governmental entities for fee enforcement and collection. Revenues generated from parking fees must be allocated to manage parking in the Lake Tahoe Region, while fines collected from parking violations—with specified exceptions—are designated for parking enforcement operations within the Safety Zone. The legislation provides the statutory framework for inter-governmental cooperation and revenue generation to address recreational safety and parking management challenges in the Lake Tahoe Basin corridor.
