The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced yesterday the award of competitive bus and streetcar grants. One was in Nevada! In total, $293M was awarded nationwide, though grant applications totaled $2B. There is a high demand for these intelligent projects which support the Obama administration’s livability initiative.

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada will construct a transit center on a little more than an acre of land located on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus.
