The transit center will significantly improve connectivity to public transit at UNLV as well as within the surrounding community. The Centennial Express will serve the UNLV Transit Center and provide a direct link to the RTC’s main transit hub, the Bonneville Transit Center in downtown Las Vegas, where riders can connect to other transit routes serving destinations across the valley.
“This project epitomizes the RTC’s commitment to community partnerships,” said RTC GM Tina Quigley. “Having the ability to work with UNLV on a project that will encourage the use of public transit to and from the campus and hopefully, alleviate some of the area’s parking needs is something we are incredibly passionate about at the RTC.”
The UNLV Transit Center is being built with $3.45 million, 80% of which is federally funded by the Federal Transit Administration Bus and Bus Facilities Livability Initiative Grant and 20% funded by a local match made by the RTC.
