RTC, Partners Celebrate Job Creation, Improved Safety and Reduced Congestion During National Infrastructure Week

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) and partners valley-wide are celebrating National Infrastructure Week. Transportation infrastructure matters because it reduces congestion, improves safety and creates jobs. RTC's community is growing, and its infrastructure needs to grow with it. By 2025, the local population is expected to increase by 35%, from 2 million to 2.7 million, and the annual visitor volume by 26%, from 42.3 million to 53.1 million. 

Let RTC connect you directly with individuals, businesses and organizations who are working to improve construction coordination and hiring new employees thanks to infrastructure projects around the valley, at the following organized event:

Infrastructure Worker Appreciation Day

Show appreciation to construction employees working on local infrastructure projects focused on improving safety and mobility for our residents and tourists.

Who: RTC & NDOT
