Why Transportation Matters
Transportation and Climate Change
Getting around Clark County using a diversity of efficient, clean, and safe options is crucial to tackling climate change. With each mile we drive using gasoline or diesel, we emit greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) that contribute to climate change. Transportation alone accounts for 36% of all GHG emissions in the County! To reduce emissions, Clark County residents and visitors can rely on more sustainable mobility options like electric vehicles and public transit to decrease the impact of necessary travel.
Leading by Example
Complete Streets Initiative
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) has launched a regional Complete Streets Initiative to promote safer streets and make walking, biking, and transit riding more attractive and accessible. This will include the implementation of new policies and infrastructure upgrades such as protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, bus shelters with more shade, and dedicated transit lanes.
