Data Driven Insights

Rekor
Rekor improves safety and efficiency on freeways and major arterials by compiling traffic data from Waze and analyzing historical trends to provide real-time insight into the location of incidents and predict where dangerous conditions or congestion may occur. This technology enables faster validation and response to roadway events, as well as more efficient deployment of traffic patrol and abatement resources to help prevent incidents.

Enhancements implemented in June 2025 expanded integration with HAAS, enabling FAST to deliver over 1.2 million in-vehicle notifications for crashes, vehicle fires, road closures, and roadway hazards. These notifications are delivered directly to drivers in connected vehicles, including Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and additional manufacturers such as Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati, significantly improving real-time situational awareness and roadway safety beyond traditional infrastructure.

Improving Safety & Reducing Congestion

Smart Work Zones

Dynamic Signal Operations
Dynamic Signal Operations include a range of advanced operations and timing approaches such as adaptive splits, traffic responsive operations, and Adaptive Signal Control (ASC). The RTC recognizes the benefits of dynamic signal operational strategies to improve traffic flow and reliability. RTC has piloted adaptive signal timing on Eastern Avenue in partnership with the City of Henderson and Clark County to test the ability of adaptive traffic signal control technology and evaluate the performance. The technology was deployed along a busy stretch of Eastern Avenue between Beckler Drive and Pebble Road to determine the capabilities and limitations of an adaptive traffic control system. RTC is exploring various Dynamic Signal Operation strategies to enhance signal timing options for Southern Nevada's dynamic roadway system.

Connecting People to Services

Shared Mobility

The RTC partnered with ride-sharing company Lyft on a first-mile/last-mile program to help employees of a warehouse located in an area not served by transit. Employees can hail a Lyft from 13 designated transit stops served by six transit routes and get a ride to the warehouse. The RTC subsidizes $1 per trip, and the employer pays for the remaining balance for each employee trip to and from the designated bus stops. The Workforce Mobility Program makes transportation more cost-effective and jobs more accessible.

Innovation Grants

GoMed
The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded a $5.3 million grant to the RTC and City of Las Vegas to deploy an autonomous circulator between downtown Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Medical District. This federal demonstration project will connect some of Southern Nevada’s most vulnerable populations, including elderly residents and persons with disabilities, to key facilities and vital services like healthcare, education and employment. Users will experience autonomous and connected vehicle service, innovative pedestrian safety devices and smart transit shelters intended to enhance safety and improve quality of life.

Low or No Emission
A $3.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation allows the RTC to deploy two hydrogen fuel cell buses and installed accompanying hydrogen-fueling infrastructure. The RTC estimated the project will cost $6 million, with a 65% federal and 35% local split. With the estimated 18-month wait time to procure hydrogen fuel cell buses, it is anticipated the vehicles will hit Las Vegas Valley roads in 2023.

Mobility for All
The Federal Transit Administration awarded $128,624 to the RTC to educate the community about transportation options and available technology. The grant will fund a mobile training lab to bring RTC mobility trainers and resources to members of the community, including veterans, persons with disabilities and low-income populations. The vehicle retrofit is expected to be completed and ready to deploy June 2023.

Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Grant
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration awarded $6 million in federal funding to the RTC, the Nevada Department of Transportation, and its partners for the expansion of emerging technologies along a five-mile stretch of U.S. 95 to mitigate traffic congestion and enhance road safety. Some technologies that will be deployed along U.S. 95 include wrong-way sensors that alert drivers immediately if they’re traveling in the wrong direction; occupancy detection sensors in HOV lanes that collect data to reduce congestion and emissions; and overhead signs that warn motorists about incidents, speed reduction and lane closures ahead to mitigate crashes resulting from sudden braking.
