Planning
Designated under federal law as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the RTC is responsible for overseeing the transportation planning process for Southern Nevada. In addition, the RTC directs funding generated from various local, state, and federal funds for transportation purposes.
The MPO is also designated as the core administrator of the Regional Plan, Southern Nevada Strong, through the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition. In this role, the MPO supports the agencies that implement the plan and promotes the plan vision. For more information about the regional plan, go to sns.rtcsnv.com.
