Current Projects

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) performs many transportation activities within the Southern Nevada region. As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Southern Nevada, the RTC is helping to create sustainable communities.

Truly sustainable communities support all types of transportation, including walking, biking, and transit. These alternative types of travel are key to reducing congestion in the Las Vegas Valley.

Help Us Beat The Heat

Southern Nevada Urban Heat Mapping Project
This summer, local experts, nonprofits, and researchers will team with citizen scientists to capture temperature and humidity data across our region during a one-day heat mapping campaign. As part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization’s (NOAA) Urban Heat Island Mapping Project, the data will reveal in which neighborhoods it’s hottest in our region and help inform policies and projects that address heat-related health issues, lower the risk of heat stress, and aim to mitigate heat islands.
