The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) Streets and Highways (S&H) department is a division of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).  S&H is the department responsible for the day-to-day administration of the funds collected locally through Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax and Sales Tax, including Fuel Revenue Indexing.  We work with our Member Agencies (City of Las Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, City of Henderson, City of Mesquite, City of Boulder City and Unincorporated Clark County) to administer funds for the  design, construction, and maintenance of the surface transportation system.

The RTC concentrates its efforts on regional roadways that service higher numbers of vehicle trips, roadways that provide connectivity between jurisdictions, and across major geographic barriers as shown on the Regional Master Plan of Streets and Highways.  Roadways that carry less traffic and neighborhood roads are not a part of the RTC’s Streets and Highways program.  S&H plays a key role in the development and delivery of critical roadway, trail, and safety projects that enhance mobility for over 2,200,000 residents and over 55,000,000 visitors per year.

During calendar year 2023, S&H paid over 2,500 invoices totaling over $279 million to our Member Agencies and direct payments to contractors and consultants. We originated 44 interlocal contracts for new projects totaling $245 million and closed out 59 contracts totaling $120 million with our Member Agencies. In addition to its administration function, S&H also facilitates three public meetings:

1. Executive Advisory Committee
2. Specifications Subcommittee
3. Uniform Standard Specifications and Drawings Working Group
