On Tuesday, December 5, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) celebrated its 25th anniversary as the transit agency for the Las Vegas Valley.

To mark the occasion, RTC staff spent the day traveling to various locations throughout the transit system in
branded community outreach vehicles to thank customers for riding.

“It may be the anniversary of the transit system, but we wanted to celebrate the people who have made our system successful - our riders,” said Tina Quigley, RTC general manager. “We have achieved a lot of milestones in our 25 years, but I am even more excited for the next 25 years given the unbelievable advancements in technology that will transform transportation, and transit, as we know it.”

Considered one of the younger transit systems in the country, the RTC has grown to include 39 routes with more than 3,400 bus stops, provides more than 64 million passenger trips each year and is ranked as the 15th busiest bus system in the nation by the National Transit Database.
