The Nevada Department of Transportation wants public input on the State Management Plan, which defines the administration of federal funding to rural transit services.

Nevada’s local transit services provide more than 5 million rides a year.

Each year, NDOT utilizes nearly $10 million in Federal Transit Administration funds to support local transit, including purchasing more than 400 buses and other vehicles for local transit providers over the past 35 years.

The plan is available online for review and and commenting. Select the “Planning” link under “Public Transit.” Comments may be sent to jmabry@dot.nv.gov. They are due Jan. 11.
