The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is the public transit, roadway planning and funding, and traffic management agency for the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area, which is home to 2.3 million residents and attracts tens of millions of visitors each year. Despite the severe drop in ridership we experienced during the onset of the pandemic, we still saw 56 million passenger trips in 2020. |
