The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) recently created a plan for implementing a high-capacity transit system that will move people more efficiently between the Medical District in downtown Las Vegas along Maryland Parkway past UNLV and to McCarran International Airport. The goal of this plan is to create walkable, vibrant environments around this transit corridor that are hubs of activity for area residents and visitors.

Please complete the following survey to help us understand what the community values along this Corridor, what improvements are needed, and how the current pandemic may be affecting the way the Las Vegas community lives, works, and plays. For more information about this project, go to Maryland Parkway Corridor TOD Plan website.
