Award Description:
Recovery Act funds will be used to invest in public transportation by developing a new transportation center to serve downtown Las Vegas, by constructing a transit center and park & ride facility to serve the US-95 corridor, and by developing bus rapid transit in the Boulder Highway corridor. All three facilities are partly funded by ARRA, partly by other FTA grants, and partly by local sales tax revenues.
The new intermodal transportation center in downtown Las Vegas, which will be formally named the Bonneville Transit Center, will replace a functionally obsolete facility and serve as a hub for bus and Bus Rapid Transit services operated by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. The transit center building will be certified under “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” criteria. The site has good pedestrian access and the transit center will integrates bicycle storage and showers for bicyclists using the public transit system. The Transit Center is located in Congressional District 1 and will cost $17.0 million, of which 33% will come from the ARRA.
The Centennial Hills Transit Center and Park & Ride anchors the first freeway express commuter transit route in the region, using recently completed High-Occupancy Vehicle lanes on US 95 to connect the north-west suburbs with downtown Las Vegas and the Resort Corridor. The Centennial Hills facility integrates transit and carpool operations with adjacent land uses, including a planned new campus of the College of Southern Nevada. The Centennial Hills Transit Center and Park & Ride is located in Congressional District 3 and cost $10.3 million, of which 86% will come from the ARRA.
The Boulder Highway Bus Rapid Transit project includes roadway reconstruction, intersection improvements, installation and integration of electronic information and traffic control facilities, and the construction of shelters and ancillary equipment for Bus Rapid Transit operations in the Boulder Highway corridor. This is the third Bus Rapid Transit route in the region and will provide new commuter options as well as improving transit service through low-income and minority neighborhoods. The Boulder Highway Bus Rapid Transit project is located in Congressional Districts 1 and 3 and will cost $48 million, of which 40% will come from the ARRA. Due to limited local funding, this project could not have been undertaken without the capital assistance provided under ARRA
