RTC Transit 8-7-2022

Transit Service Change – Sunday, August 7, 2022

In an effort to restore transit service and better serve the valley’s transit customers, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) will operate modified weekday schedules Monday through Friday beginning Sunday, Aug. 7 on all routes.

While the RTC is not yet able to return to full service levels, transit service changes will include increased frequency, updated schedules, and other minor changes in an effort to improve service quality.

At this time, there will be no routing changes – only schedule changes to improve performance. Service updates were prioritized based on the severity of previous service reductions, challenges in staying on time, and overall ridership.
