RTC

Pedestrian safety has been a high priority for the RTC and its regional partners. Sadly, there are too many crashes that cause pedestrians to get hurt or killed.

The RTC is making great progress on the Virginia Street Project in Midtown.

The multimodal improvement project will revitalize the 3.2-mile corridor by creating a more-livable, safer and vibrant community on Wells Avenue, beginning at the I-80 ramps in Reno and continuing on Oddie Boulevard to Pyramid Way in Sparks.

The goal of providing this FREE service is to make it easy for people to get to their celebration destinations, to work, or to get home when celebrating on New Year’s Eve.

You’ll see a lot of sidewalk and concrete work being done these next few months.

Help people in need in our region this holiday season by helping RTC Stuff A Bus with food items on Thursday, December 12.

The RTC invites everyone to a community meeting on Thursday, December 12 from 5-7 p.m. at the McKinley Arts & Culture Center.

The RTC is your free RIDE to Pride this weekend. The RTC is offering free transit rides all day this Saturday, July 27, to help people get to and from Northern Nevada Pride festivities.

Construction has been underway for the past month, and the RTC is right on schedule. The RTC has multiple crews working throughout the corridor to help expedite construction operations.

During the last year, the RTC opened the SouthEast Connector – easing congestion on the Spaghetti Bowl, and also completed the 4th Street/Prater Way Bus RAPID transit project.

This program is open to any UNR or TMCC student, faculty member or staff member with a UNR or TMCC ID.

California is open to two-way traffic until about mid-July. After that, there will be a full California/Keystone intersection closure so crews can finish the improvements before Reno High School starts back up again.

The RTC has a strategy to help make construction a little easier on the businesses in Midtown.

The project will include the study of multimodal transportation and the roadway operations in the area surrounding and within the UNR campus.

There are new 40 locations with green bike lanes, and you’ll see them all over our community.

From casual group rides to community meetups, there’s something for everyone during bike Month.

Transit passengers’ bus stop times may be slightly different after the service change.

The project will increase safety in the area and benefit drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users.

The RTC has replaced 21 of its older-model diesel buses with electric buses and its fleet is now one-third electric.

NDOT will install flashing pedestrian crosswalk signals and make other improvements on West Second Street between Kietzke Lane and Keystone Avenue.

Even though the rest of the project is back open to two-way traffic, drivers can still expect to see possible lane closures and traffic shifts as utility companies connect utilities throughout the corridor.

As the RTC makes this corridor safer and more inviting, they will be adding things like wider sidewalks, bike lanes, and even new landscaping features.
