Show Notes
The Regional Transportation Commission in Las Vegas faces a significant funding shortfall, potentially leading to reduced bus routes, loss of game-day express service, and paratransit riders losing their specialized rides. This crisis is due to over two decades of underinvestment in the system, as costs and demand have surged with the areas growth. The RTC is urging state lawmakers for direct funding and considering a sales tax hike. They plan extensive community outreach to rally support and determine next steps, as voters have recently rejected similar tax increases and transit funding is not eligible for road inflation-tied funding.
