Total project funding of $52.57 million will invest in RTC rapid transit service, improved sidewalks, bike facilities, and major street improvements between 4 th Street Station and Centennial Plaza. Virginia Street Bus RAPID Transit Extension Project: $5.6 million in RTC fuel taxes accomplish preliminary design and obtain Federal Transit Administration environmental and historic resource clearance. The total project estimate of $80 million includes full reconstruction of Virginia Street between Plumb Lane and Liberty Street and several adjacent local streets in Midtown, improvements to extend RTC RAPID service to UNR, eight new RAPID stations, and two new electric buses. The Oddie/Wells Corridor Multi-Modal Improvements project will get started in FY19 with $1.55 million in fuel tax funds programmed for Preliminary Design. The Pavement Preservation program will be fully implemented for the upcoming construction season. Approximately $6.5 million in fuel tax revenue is proposed to provide slurry sealing on select roads to keep those pavements in good condition and corrective treatments to roads with at risk pavements showing advanced deterioration. Projects in the pavement preservation program are selected based on pavement condition data in coordination with staff from Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County. Fuel tax revenue also allows the RTC to continue to implement bicycle and pedestrian improvements in areas of the Truckee Meadows that were identified through the RTC Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. In addition, Traffic Engineering Spot Intersection projects will improve selected regional road intersections within the Truckee Meadows. Attachments

18 June 6, 2018 AGENDA ITEM 7 TO: FROM: Citizens Multimodal Advisory Committee Amy Cummings, AICP, LEED AP Director of Planning SUBJECT: Proposed 2040 Regional Transportation Plan Amendment RECOMMENDATION Receive report on the proposed amendment to the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). SUMMARY The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has identified near-term improvements to I- 80/I-580/US 395 system interchange (Spaghetti Bowl). This Early Action project consists of safety and operational improvements primarily for the eastbound to southbound traffic movement. In order for these improvements to advance, they must be identified in the 2040 RTP, as well as the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). Staff has taken this opportunity to identify other project updates that should be included in the RTP. Other potential changes include extending the proposed widening of Lemmon Drive from Arkansas Street to Chickadee Drive and raising the roadway to include flood mitigation measures, and the widening of North Virginia Street from two to four lanes between Stead Boulevard and Panther Drive. Other changes include removing projects that have some redundancy and updating project descriptions that now have more information available. The attached project table details the proposed changes. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND Staff held a preliminary meeting with the Air Quality Interagency Consultation Group to discuss the proposed changes to the RTP and to determine assumptions for potential air quality impacts. This group consists of representatives from NDOT, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Washoe County Health District Air Quality Management Division, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), and Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency (TMRPA). This group will reconvene to review the results of the travel demand and air quality model analyses when they are completed. It is anticipated that a public comment period for the amendments to the RTP and RTC Board: Ron Smith (Chair) Bob Lucey (Vice Chair) Paul McKenzie Vaughn Hartung Neoma Jardon PO Box 30002, Reno, NV Terminal Way, Reno, NV rtcwashoe.com

19 CMAC Staff RTP Amendment June 6, 2018 Page 2 RTIP will commence in July and staff will seek approval of the amendments in August. In addition to the proposed projects in the RTP, the RTIP amendment is expected to include recently and soon to be awarded Transportation Alternative (TA) and FTA Section 5310 grant-funded projects. These projects are bicycle/pedestrian and transit projects, respectively, and are exempt from an air quality analysis. Attachments
