Find all details at https://www.rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/schedules-maps/2020-transit-service- change/ LAS VEGAS – The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is experiencing a severe drop in transit funding as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To adjust for this loss in revenue, while continuing to provide critically needed transportation, the RTC is considering making system-wide service changes that would go into effect in fall 2020. The community is encouraged to provide input on proposed changes including route eliminations, routing adjustments and schedule changes during a 60-day comment period. “Our public transportation system is facing the same financial uncertainty that businesses and communities across the country are experiencing when it comes to providing essential services with reduced budgets,” said Francis Julien, RTC deputy CEO. “We know this is a very difficult time for our community as we continue to grapple with so many unknowns, especially as it relates to providing public transportation to our community. So before we make any transit service changes, we need to hear from you. We are making efforts to reach out and provide information in many different ways, and we hope we will get valuable feedback from riders and non-riders alike.” The public comment period will remain open through Friday, August 28.
