Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County - RTC

🚍 Have you noticed?

The Regional Connector fare dropped to $2 yesterday. Riding between Reno and Carson City now costs less than half of what it used to as part of RTC's new pilot program. Transfers to JAC in Carson City are free. Download the Transit App and plan your $2 ride.

REMINDER! 🚧

The Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County (RTC) will begin construction on the Virginia Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Improvements Project at 7 p.m. Sunday, May 31. Initial work will take place on South Virginia Street between Moana Lane and Hubbard Way.

The project will add bus-only lanes on South Virginia Street from Peckham Lane to Plumb Lane, making service faster and more reliable for riders along one of Reno’s busiest corridors. Additional improvements include water line replacement, ADA-compliant sidewalk and driveway upgrades, drainage improvements and traffic signal upgrades.
