The Streets and Highways (S&H) department of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) was created in 1965. S&H is the department responsible for the day-to-day administration of the funds collected locally through Sales Tax and Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax, including Fuel Revenue Indexing. We work with our Member Agencies (City of Las Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, City of Henderson, City of Mesquite, City of Boulder City and Unincorporated Clark County) to administer funds for the design, construction, and maintenance of the surface transportation system.

The RTC concentrates its efforts on regional roadways that service higher numbers of vehicle trips, roadways that provide connectivity between jurisdictions, and across major geographic barriers as shown on the Regional Master Plan of Streets and Highways. Roadways that carry less traffic and neighborhood roads are not a part of the RTC’s Streets and Highways program. S&H plays a key role in the development and delivery of critical roadway, trail, and safety projects that enhance mobility for over 2,337,000 residents and over 43,000,000 visitors per year.

The current Capital Improvement Program for RTC-funded roadway and trail projects consists of 256 projects that are programmed by our Member Agencies from fiscal year 2026 to fiscal year 2035 and is valued at $1.42 billion. During calendar year 2025, there were 191 active interlocal contracts (102 in construction and 89 under design). S&H paid over 2,100 invoicing totaling over $347 million to our Member Agencies. In addition to its administration function, S&H also facilitates three public meetings:

1. Executive Advisory Committee
2. Specifications Subcommittee
3. Uniform Standard Specifications and Drawings Working Group
