Goal 4.1: Encourage the expansion and use of multimodal transportation options throughout Clark County
Support efforts to provide faster, cleaner, more frequent, more equitable, and more convenient transit service to and from major destinations within the region through the phased implementation of the High-Capacity Transit network. Align land use and transportation decisions in unincorporated Clark County with recommendations contained in RTC’s On Board Mobility Plan and subsequent implementation documents.
Support efforts by RTC to enhance, redistribute, and/ or expand service hours, coverage, and frequency to maximize access to jobs and housing, make short trips easier, better address the needs of underserved or transit-dependent populations, and connect major destinations in unincorporated Clark County with other destinations throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
Support efforts by the Southern Nevada Transit Coalition (SNTC) to sustain and enhance Silver Rider Transit service for the rural parts of Clark County.
Support efforts by RTC and partners to expand on-demand transit service in underserved areas of Clark County.
Support efforts to explore the future potential for high-speed passenger rail service between Las Vegas and Southern California.
Support the implementation of the Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for Southern Nevada by:
- Planning and implementing incremental improvements to existing roadways and trails in unincorporated Clark County to improve safety and connectivity for all modes, and people of all ages and abilities;
- Prioritizing the installation of pedestrian, equestrian, and high comfort bicycle facilities in areas of unincorporated Clark County that are currently underserved, contain, or are planned for—land uses or transportation facilities that generate high levels of activity, or where “gaps” between existing segments of sidewalks, trails, or bike lanes exist; and
- Adopting stronger, context-sensitive connectivity standards for future development and redevelopment.
Seek opportunities to integrate Complete Streets attributes as part of County infrastructure projects to the maximum extent practicable as a means to reduce traffic congestion, improve air and water quality, and increase the quality of life of residents by providing safe, convenient, and comfortable routes for walking, bicycling, public transportation, and driving.
In coordination with Clark County School District (CCSD), support Safe Routes to Schools programs as a way to reduce vehicular congestion in school zones and create safe and inviting environments for students, families, and staff to walk, bicycle, and use public transportation to travel to and from school.
