A
Before
we
begin
with
our
agenda
items,
I
would
like
to
briefly
review
how
our
virtual
meetings
will
work.
The
legislative
building
remains
closed
to
the
public,
and
so
all
committee
meetings
will
be
virtually
committee.
Members
staff
and
everyone
else
will
participate
either
through
zoom
or
by
telephone
for
committee
members.
If
you
could,
please
remember
to
silence
your
phones
turn
off
all
your
electronics
during
the
meeting
and
mute
your
microphones
when
you
are
not
speaking
to
minimize
any
background
noise.
A
Please
leave
your
cameras
on
so
that
we
can
maintain
a
quorum
throughout
our
meeting
today
and
please
state
your
name
for
the
record.
Every
time
you
unmute
your
mic
to
speak.
It
helps
us
keep
accurate
records
and
meeting
minutes
for
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
testify
or
present
public
comment.
We
will
have
the
option
to
call
in
or
submit
written
testimony
or
comments.
A
This
can
be
done
online
at
the
page.
For
today's
meeting
on
nellis,
which
is
located
on
the
legislative
website
in
the
same
place,
you
will
find
today's
agenda
members
of
the
public
have
the
option
to
submit
an
opinion
on
bills
online
and
to
sign
up
to
participate
during
the
public
comment
period.
At
the
end
of
today's
meeting,
all
the
materials
submitted
for
a
meeting
will
be
posted
on
the
committee's
page
on
the
legislative
website.
A
A
A
So
our
first
order
of
business
today,
it's
kind
of
an
exciting
order
of
business.
A
A
A
So,
on
behalf
of
the
other
members,
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
the
assembly
committee
on
growth
and
infrastructure,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
this
session
at
this
time.
I
would
like
to
invite
you
to
unmute
your
mic
and
just
say
a
few
words.
If
you
like,
you,
don't
have
to
just
introduce
yourself
to
the
committee.
Thank.
E
As
you
said,
my
district
is
42.
It
is
a
very
fun
district,
so
I'm
really
excited
it's
in
the
heart
of
las
vegas
on
just
west
of
this
strip.
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
serving
on
this
committee.
In
particular.
The
infrastructure
we
rely
on
ensures
our
health
and
safety
of
all
of
our
residents
and
allows
them
to
get
their
necessary
supports
and
services.
My
background
has
included
interacting
with
many
state
divisions
that
fall
under
the
scope
of
this
committee,
and
I
am
pleased
to
see
some
of
our
distinguished
colleagues
that
are
on
the
agenda
today.
E
In
a
professional
capacity,
I
served
in
the
nevada,
transportation,
planning
and
advisory
committee,
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
advisory
committee,
and
I've
worked
closely
with
leadership
from
the
southern
nevada,
regional
transportation
commission,
on
specialized
transportation.
This
committee
is
close
to
my
heart
highways.
Roads
license
plates
traffic
laws,
they're
all
areas
that
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
work
on.
I
do
look
forward
to
learning
lots
more
about
the
areas
that
I'm
not
familiar
with,
but
I
am
excited
to
be
here
on
this
very
fun
committee.
A
Well,
thank
you
and
we
are
very
excited
to
be
working
with
you
so
welcome,
and
now
we
will
welcome
our
presenters,
who
are
all
involved
in
the
badass
transportation
sector.
Members
of
four
different
organizations
have
joined
us
today
to
give
test
presentations
explaining
their
agency's
role
in
nevada's
transportation,
landscape
and
to
answer
questions
from
committee
members.
Our
first
presentation
will
welcome
ms
julie
butler,
who
is
the
director
of
nevada's
department
of
motor
vehicles,
ms
butler,
if
you'd
like
to
begin,
you
have
the
fork.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
julie,
butler
director
of
the
department
of
motor
vehicles,
the
pleasure
to
be
here
today
to
present
before
you
and
give
you
an
overview
of
the
dmv
and
some
of
the
legislation
that
you
might
be
seeing
move
through
your
community.
As
this.
B
F
Yeah
that
happened
yesterday
I'll
just
kind
of
try
to
take
it
slow
and
hope
for
the
best.
Okay,
all
right.
F
F
Yeah
my
stage
name
as
my
staff
is
calling
so
anyway,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
working
but
because
it
doesn't
seem
to
work
okay,
the
department,
the
next
slide
goes
over
the
department's
vision
and
mission,
and
that
can
be
summed
up
in
seven
words,
which
are
identity,
information,
consumer
protection
and
public
safety.
F
The
department
is
comprised
of
seven
divisions
supported
by
the
director's
office.
We
have
1
267
authorized
positions,
the
field
services
division
is
our
largest
division
and
probably
the
one
with
which
you're
most
familiar,
as
that
is
our
customer
division
and
the
staff
that
that
provide
the
operations
support
in
our
field
office
worldwide.
F
B
Excuse
me,
ms
butler,
this
is
judy
and
bps
when
broadcast.
What
we're
seeing
with
your
presentation
is
we're
seeing
the
current
slide
in
the
next
slide,
so
we're
seeing
the
presenter
view.
I
don't
think
that's
what
you
intended
up
at
the
top
of
your
powerpoint
there's
a
little
bar
and
it
says
display
settings
click
on
that.
B
A
B
Okay!
So
if
you
would,
if
your
powerpoint
is
open
and
then
you
would
do
your
screen
share.
F
Great
thanks
for
walking
me
through
that.
I
appreciate
that
okay,
so,
anyway,
back
to
our
overview,
we
do
have
a
regulatory
arm
in
our
compliance.
Compliance
enforcement
division,
motor
carrier
collects
and
distributes
fuel
taxes
on
behalf
of
the
entire
state
and
registers
commercial
vehicles
for
intra
and
inter
state
use.
F
F
But
yeah
the
slides
are
not
advancing
anyway.
I
do
have
members
of
my
leadership
team
here
today
to
answer
any
detailed
questions
that
you
that
you
might
have.
F
We
do
have
18
full
service
offices
and
eight
rural
offices,
rural
county,
assessor
offices,
five
triple
a
offices
and
34.
A
Miss
butler,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
can
hear
us,
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
your
screen
froze
and
we
missed,
probably
the
last
two
minutes
or
of
what
you
said
right
after
you
stopped
sharing
you
kind
of
froze.
F
F
F
F
We
also
receive
a
very
small
general
fund
appropriation
to
support
automatic
voter
registration
and,
finally,
our
department
is
statutorily
capped
in
the
amount
of
highway
funds
that
it
can
receive
and
that
cap
must
stay
under
22
of
the
funds
collected
and
distributed
the
highway
fund,
excluding
full
taxes
that
22
cap
was
increased
27
in
recent
years
to
accommodate
our
I.t
modernization
efforts.
F
B
F
F
Another
36
percent
distributed
highway
fund,
the
maintenance,
administration,
construction
and
improvement
of
nevada's
highways,
and
the
remainder
is
distributed,
as
you
can
see
in
the
pie
chart.
So
moving
on
to
slide.
Eight
I'd
like
to
discuss
the
covid
19
pandemic
and
the
impact
that
it
has
had
on
the
department's
revenue
collection.
F
F
F
F
F
Our
department's
major
budget
initiative
is
focused
on
this
transformation
effort
to
move
most,
if
not
all,
of
our
services
online
over
the
next
four
fiscal
years.
Her
concept
is
patterned
after
the
state
of
california,
dmv
virtual
field
office
and
plans
to
use
the
same
vendors
who
developed
a
proven
solution
for
the
california
dc.
F
In
addition
to
moving
our
services
online,
we
are
also
actively
looking
to
partner
with
industry,
where
it
makes
sense
to
do
so
to
offload
services
where
it
makes
sense,
two
examples
of
that
are
with
drive
schools
and
with
salvage
titles.
Throughout
the
pandemic,
the
demand
for
drive
exams
has
exceeded
the
supply
of
available
drive
examiners
and
appointments.
F
F
So
we
reached
out
to
industry
and
asked
if
they
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
us
on
such
an
endeavor
and
they
are,
and
so
our
staff
has
worked
very
diligently
over
the
past
several
months
to
change
some
regulations
to
allow
for
these
private
drive
schools
to
be
certified
by
the
department
to
administer
privacy
and
we're
in
the
very
final
stage
getting
those
regulations
adopted
I'll
touch
on
salvage
titles,
a
little
more
in
a
bit
moving
on
to
slide
12
for
those
of
you
on
the
money
committees
and
just
for
general
general
awareness
for
the
other
committee
members.
F
We
have
two
budget
bills,
policy
bills
and
one
housekeeping
bill
this
session.
But
we
anticipate
we're
going
to
be
very
busy.
F
Our
first
budget
bill
will
change
the
name
of
our
existing
management
services
and
programs
division
through
the
research
and
project
management
division.
It
will
combine.
G
F
But
we
now
know
that
online
schools
exist,
which
means
you
don't
have
to
have
a
brick
and
mortar
location,
and
so
what
sp
17
would
do
is
recognize
that
we
all.
We
can
also
license
online
driver
training
schools
and
also
make
sure
that
these
businesses
know
that,
in
addition
to
providing
their
their
phys
their
records
physically,
they
can
also
provide
them
electronically.
F
And
senate
bill
29
deals
with
salvage
titles,
as
I
mentioned
previously.
The
pandemic
has
shown
us
that
we
need
to
re-examine
the
way
we
deliver
our
services
and
we
need
to
look
at
what
we're
providing
in-house
and
what
might
make
sense
to
offload
in
partnering
with
industry
and
the
salvage
titles
bill
is
just
one
such
example.
F
In
this
case,
salvage
vehicle
industry
representatives
offered
to
partner
with
the
department
into
in
the
review
and
processing
of
salvaged
titles
department
has
the
authority
to
engage
with
agents
in
other
chapters
of
statutes,
but
not
in
the
chapter
dealing
with
drunken
salvage
vehicles,
industry
representatives
currently
partner
with
dmvs
in
other
states,
for
the
handling
and
processing
of
salvaged
titles,
so
senate
bill
29
would
just
give
the
department
the
authority
to
work
with
these
types
of
companies
for
the
processing
of
these
titles
in
nevada,
and
then
our
final
bill,
which
you'll
be
seeing
at
some
point,
is
a
housekeeping
measure
senate
bill
60
and
that
deals
with
license
plates
special
plates
approved
in
prior
legislative
sessions,
did
not
have
consistent
guidelines
for
plate
design,
development
specifications
and
status
changes.
F
F
Finally,
this
bill
also
deals
with
with
an
issue
of
movement
permits.
So
currently
you
need
a
movement
permit,
excuse
me
or
a
registration.
You
drive
your
vehicle
legally
on
nevada's
highways,
but
what
happens
if
you
buy
your
vehicle
on
a
weekend
and
the
dmv
is
closed.
How
do
you
get
that
movement
from
it?
F
Is
give
individuals
up
to
three
days
to
allow
when
they
buy
a
vehicle
through
a
private
sale
like
after
hours
or
on
a
weekend?
It
would
give
them
three
days
to
come
into
the
dmv
and
get
that
movement
permit
a
little
bit
of
a
grace
period,
so
they
can
take
care
of
their
dnp
business
and,
finally,
on
the
last
slide.
F
Excuse
me
slide
14..
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
the
fact
that
the
department
opened
a
new
office
in
reno
on
november,
2nd
2020,
and
if
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity
visit
that
office,
I
I
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
to
showcase
it
to
you,
because
it
really
is
a
spectacular
office.
It
replaces
our
office
on
goletti
way.
We
also
had
an
office
in
sparks.
F
You
conduct
commercial
driver's
license
transactions,
and
this
is
a
one-stop
shop
or
for
both
those
types
of
transactions
for
non-commercial
and
commercial.
It
features
a
first
in
the
nation,
drive-through
kiosk,
which
is
really
amazing.
We
did
a
lot
of
business
through
for
that
and
it's
just
a
really
beautiful
building
that
we're
incredibly
proud
of,
and
I
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
show
that
to
you.
A
A
F
Thank
you
for
the
question
chairman,
real
marino,
julie,
butler
for
the
record.
We
do
not
anticipate
any
costs
to
change
our
name.
We
don't
we
don't
use
pre-printed
letterhead,
we
just
print
those
it's
a
print
as
you
go
type
of
thing,
and
and
so
we
don't
anticipate
it
costs
to
change
dictionary
or
those
types
in
terms
of
the
the
one
dollar
technology.
F
A
Perfect,
thank
you.
First
up,
I
have
a
list
here.
It
will
be
assemblywoman
peters,
with
her
questions.
H
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
have
a
really
clarifying
question.
I
hope
on
slide
nine,
you
give
a
revenue
breakdown
with
the
percent
decrease
or
increase
over
the
two
fiscal
years,
20
and
21,
and
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
what
line
item
other
highway
funds
is
versus
taxes.
Can
you
just
give
us
a
brief
description
of
those
two
different
entities
and
then
can
you
also
go
into
what
was
the
cause
of
the
99.6
decrease
in
those
other
highway
funds?.
F
Thank
you
for
the
question,
julie
butler
for
the
record.
I
believe
that
this
has
to
do
with
the
conversion
of
the
general
services
tax
commissions
from
the
highway
fund
from
the
highway
fund
to
the
general
fund,
but
I'm
going
to
phone
a
friend
and
I
am
going
to
ask
our
administrator
of
our
administrative
services
division
angela
smith,
lamb,
he's
on
the
call
and
can
answer
that.
F
Question:
okay:
she
apparently
is
not
on
the
call
today.
I
will
get
back
to
you
with
the
exact
answer
for
that
question
and
assuming
peter's
and
but
I
do
believe
it
has
to
do
with
the
transfer
of
those
governmental
services.
Tax,
commission.
H
Maybe
I
think
some
other
folks
may
ask
questions
that
that
I've
got
so
yeah
I'll
touch
base
with
you.
After.
J
Thank
you
very
much,
chair,
danielle,
monroe
moreno.
Thank
you,
miss
butler
for
your
presentation,
and
I
have
a
question
about
your
comment
regarding
online
driving
school
now
earlier
in
your
presentation,
you
mentioned
that
some
of
these
technological
advances
you
all
want
to
implement.
You
are
mirroring
from
the
state
of
california.
F
F
Julie
butler
again
for
the
record,
so
those
are
two
separate
things,
though
senate
bill
17
just
recognizes
that
we
license
drive
schools
and
those,
and
what
this
means
is
that
we
will
license
brick
and
mortar
drive
schools,
but
we
will
also
license
those
that
provide
drive
instruction
online,
and
so
that's
what
that
bill
does
separately
it
through
the
regulatory
process.
F
And
you
know,
unfortunately,
I
just
don't-
have
the
staff
right
now
and
the
appointment
availability
to
make
a
dent.
In
that
I
all
I
can
tell
them,
is
I'm
sorry.
You're
gonna
have
to
wait
your
90
days
until
we
have
an
opening
but
gee.
If
we
license
these
people
to
teach
people
how
to
drive
anyway,
why
aren't
we
just
licensed?
Why
aren't
we
also
extending
that
license
to
have
them
the
capability
of
of
certifying
that
they're
competent
on
the
roads,
which
is
essentially
what
our
our
drive
examiners
do
anyway?
So.
B
F
J
J
My
concern
is
twofold:
whether
or
not
we
would
be
losing
good
paying
government
jobs
to
a
contractor,
an
outside
contractor
for
one
and
secondly,
this
program
would
have
to
be
monitored
and
and
there's
some
type
of
quantifiable
process
to
make
sure
that
things
were
being
done
in
a
manner
that
is
acceptable
to
your
department.
J
F
Thank
you
for
the
question,
julie
butler
again
for
the
record.
We
don't
anticipate
that
we're
going
to
lose
any
jobs
for
by
going
down
this
road
again.
This
is
totally
optional
for
the
customers.
It's
not
required
if,
if
our
customers
want
to
pay,
maybe
get
in
sooner
great,
but
there
are
going
to
be
those
that
can't
afford
to
or
don't
want
to,
and
our
population
is
growing,
particularly
in
the
las
vegas
valley,
and
we
have
seen
just
over
the
past
year.
F
The
number
of
people
coming
in
and
surrendering
their
licenses
from
out
of
state
is
huge,
and
so
you
know
I
don't
I
don't
anticipate
this
is.
This
is
a
supplement
to
rather
than
a
replacement
of
the
department
services
in
terms
of
the
impact
for
staff
to
monitor
we're
already
licensing
the
these
drive
schools
anyway.
F
So
we
think
the
impact
to
do
to
monitor
them
and
make
sure
that
they
are
providing
an
approved
curriculum.
We
already
have
to
approve
that
anyway,
so
we
think
that
any
additional
workload
impact
for
compliance
monitoring
would
be
minimal.
B
J
C
C
I
got
a
couple
questions
as
I've
been
trying
to
get
a
hold
of
you,
but
it's
it's
impossible
almost
to
get
a
hold
of
somebody
at
dmv,
but
I
I'd
like
to
number
one
I'd
like
to
talk
about
sb
29.
I
see
you've
got
a
third
party,
that's
going
to
issue
the
salvage
titles.
C
F
Julie
butler
again
for
the
record.
That
could
be
for
a
variety
of
reasons
that
that
might
happen.
The
department
has
a
system
that
checks
a
national
system,
that
it
checks
before
it
issues
titles,
and
it
could
be
that
that's
how
the
vehicle
was
branded
in
the
past,
and
so
I'm
going
to
actually
turn
this
question
over
to
michael
sanborn
and
yvonne
young
brown
yeah
you're
here
today,
and
you
can
really
delve
into
the
details
and
provide
a
much
better
explanation
than
I.
B
Good
afternoon
april,
sanborn
dmv
for
the
record
so
and
and
thank
you
for
the
question-
assemblyman
ellison
so
essentially
there's
as
the
director
butler
just
stated
that
there
could
be
many
reasons.
But
some
of
the
main
reasons
are
the
fact
that
the
vehicle
was
rendered
non-repairable
to
the
point
where
the
value
of
the
vehicle
is
great
or
the
damage
the
vehicle
is
greater
than
the
value
of
the
vehicle.
C
The
reason
I'm
asking
this
is
because
this
this
vehicle
was
never
inspected
by
the
by
anybody.
It
was
running
great
when
I
pulled
it
out
of
there.
The
only
thing
I
did
do
is
I
restore
vehicles.
So
when
I
got
this
out
of
there,
I
started
tearing
the
thing
apart
and
then
I
show
up
with
the
salvage
title
when
I
hit
a
clear
title
so
that
it
nobody
ever
seen
the
jeep
and
seen
it
with
any
kind
of
bad
damage
or
anything
so
that
just
kind
of
con
confuses
you
know
the
process.
C
So
I
should
have
been
able
to
take
the
title
down
to
dmv,
and
now
I
got
to
go
through
a
process
of
a
salvage
title,
and
I
you
know
salvage
titles
derate
the
vehicle,
so
I'm
hoping
maybe
we
can
get
this
straightened
up,
but
that's
just
one
of
the
questions
I
have
and
then
I'm
glad
you
guys
are
going
to
address
sb60
on
the
license
plates.
C
It's
getting
kind
of
confusing
on
some
of
the
stuff,
but
one
thing
I
do
have
is
for
judy
is:
I
have
a
bill
that
I'm
going
to
run
through
and
I'm
hoping
that
I
can
get
with
you
prior
to
the
session,
so
I've
been
trying
to
contact
you.
So
if
you
can
contact
my
office
here
at
the
legislature,
I'd
like
to
sit
up
and
spend
some
time
with
you.
F
Julie
butler
again
for
the
record
assemblyman
ellison.
I
would
be
happy
to
contact
you
and
also
have
staff
reach
out
to
you
with
regard
specifically
to
your
title
issue.
C
Yeah
judy
thank
you
and
actually
I
could
have
drove
it
down
to
dmv
and
and
had
him
check
it,
but
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
tear
the
thing
apart
and
restore
it,
and
you
know
it's
a
1947
willy
jeep,
so
I
want
this
thing
in
great
shape
when
I
put
it
on
the
highway.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
madam
chairman,.
A
Thank
you
director.
I'm
sure
that
this
will
be
a
very
interesting
conversation
that
youtube
will
have
about
his
skills.
Next
up
in
the
queue
I
have
assemblywoman
brown
may
with
a
few
questions.
Thank
you.
E
Madam
chair,
miss
butler,
thank
you
for
your,
your
very
detailed
presentation.
I
appreciate
that
the
effort
and
the
time
that
you've
spent
my
question
is
relative
to
the
wait
list
that
we're
currently
experiencing
as
a
result
of
the
kovid
19
pandemic
and
the
necessary
shutdowns.
E
Specifically
in
district
42,
we
have
a
very
active
dmv
office
and
often
in
the
mornings
there's
a
huge
line
outside.
I
can
tell
you
that
there
are
several
people
that
I'm
personally
familiar
with
that
have
are
waiting
for
the
90-day
period
and
check
your
calendar
daily.
So
I'm
curious
to
know
what
really
is
the
time
frame?
Do
you
anticipate
for.
E
This
backlog
is
it
hopeful,
I'm
hoping.
F
Julie
butler
again
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question
you
and
me
both
we,
you
know,
there's
there's
not
a
good
answer
for
that,
and
let
me
just
let
me
just
explain
a
little
bit
of
where
the
department
is
at
and
our
our
main
issue.
F
Right
now
is
twofold:
it's
staff
and
then
it's
it's
you
know
shows
on
the
appointments
so
in
in
terms
of
the
staff,
as
you
all
know,
when
the
when
the
pandemic
hit
and
we
had
to
close
our
offices,
our
revenues
absolutely
fell
off
a
cliff
and,
and
so
at
that
point,
the
governor's
office
instituted
a
statewide
hiring
fee.
We
eliminated,
we
were
asked
to
curtail
our
overtime
and,
and
so
we
have
and
then
because
we
can't
spend
more-
that's
in
the
checkbook
well
per
se
constitutionally.
F
We
can't
deficit
bend.
We
in
order
to
meet
available,
protected
highway
fund
revenues.
We
found
ourselves
in
a
position
of
having
to
cut
staff,
and
so
we've
been
holding
physicians
vacant
for
the
last
year
in
order
to
meet
available
projected
revenues,
and
so
the
issue
with
the
reason
you
see
those
long
lines
outside
are
a
combination
of
I've
got
positions
that
we've
got
positions.
We
can't
fill
because
we
can't
spend
more
than
is
in
the
checkbook,
and
then
we've
got
furloughs
again
and
more
than
is
in
the
checkbook.
F
So
I've
got
those
staffing
issues
plus
we've
got
our
regular
issues
of
of
people
are
retiring,
people
are
seeking
other
jobs,
people
people
get
sick,
people
have
had
covet
and
we've
had
extended
absences.
So
it's
it's
really
a
numbers
game.
At
the
same
time,
over
the
past
year,
we've
had
79
900
come
into
nevada
from
out
of
state
and
surrender
an
out
of
state
driver's
license
and
license
plates.
That's
just
the
folks.
We
know
of
that's
not
counting
the
hordes
of
people.
F
You
see
out
there
every
single
day
at
every
one
of
our
offices
that
can't
get
in,
and
then
we
have
the
people
that
make
an
appointment,
but
then
either
they
do
their
business
online
or
they're
able
to
get
in
sooner
by
some
miracle,
and
then
they
don't
cancel,
which
just
pushes
things
out
for
everybody
else.
So
it's
really
a
combination
of
all
of
those
factors
that
that
I
can't
really
provide
a
where's
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
F
I
I
think
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
is
going
to
come
to
our
transformation
effort.
If,
if
funded
and
we're
able
to
move
these
services
online,
I
think
that's
the
only
way
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
survive
in
the
face
of
staffing
challenges
and
the
increase
in
the
population,
particularly
in
the
las
vegas
valley.
E
Thank
you,
I
think
we're
right
along
with
you
relative
to
finding
a
solution.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
have
assemblyman
roberts
next.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
my
question
was
right
in
line
with
the
last
one,
and
but
more
specifically
on
the
the
no
shows,
and
are
you
trying
to
do
anything
specifically
to
curtail
the
no
shows
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
you
could
do
similar
to
a
doctor's
office
or
somewhere
else,
every
every
every
transaction
has
a
fee
whether
they
pay
some
of
that
upfront
for
their
appointment
or
or
whatever.
I
don't.
I
don't
know,
but
are
you
working
for
solutions
or
basically
going
to
wait
or
that
to
move
more
things
online?
F
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Assemblyman
roberts,
julie,
butler
again
for
the
record
we
have.
We
do
not
currently
have
the
the
authority
to
do
like
our
doctors,
like
doctors,
offices,
do
and
charge
for
no-shows.
If
that
is
something
that
the
legislature
has
an
appetite
to
allow
us
to
do,
we
would
I
I
think
that
might
certainly
help
to
curtail
that
sort
of
that
we
continue
to
to
put
out
in
our
media
releases
and
with
our
public
information.
F
F
We
we
have
been
reaching
out,
through
our
public
information
officers,
to
put
messages
on
the
website
and
also
in
the
media
interviews
that
they
give
to
remind
the
public
to
cancel
their
appointment.
F
We
are,
and
you
know
to
the
extent
that
that
individuals
show
up
and
hope
they
can
be
seen
by
dmv
on
any
given
day.
To
the
extent
we
have
cancellations,
we
do
try
to
work
the
public
in,
so
we
don't
just
have
staff
sitting
there
doing
nothing,
and
so
you
know
we're
trying
to
take
a
variety
of
approaches,
but
certainly,
if
that's
something
that
this
body
would
entertain
some
sort
of
no-show
fee
we
take
it.
I
mean
I.
K
Don't
I
don't
know,
that
necessarily
is
the
answer,
but
you
know
if
you
have,
if
you
have
a
50
percent
no-show
ratio
routinely,
then
you
would
be
able
to
take
in
unless
you
hold
that
you
hold
that
appointment
time
vacant,
you
should
be
able
to
process
people
waiting
person
that
much
faster.
But
you
know
I
I
don't,
but
I
I
don't
understand
the
workflow
and
but
anything
anything
to
help
with
that
would
be
great
just
where
you're
going
with
it.
K
A
Thank
you
so
much
roberts
and
I
have
a
question
along
that
line
for
both
the
simulator
robert's
question
and
assemblywoman
brown's
may,
when
you
look
at
those
long
lines,
have
is
the
department
thinking
about
putting
any
new
measures
or
got
into
inclement
weather
when
we
came
up
here
a
week
ago
with
snowing
outside,
but
in
sudden
about
it,
temperatures
can
get
up
to
115
degrees
and
you
have
people
standing
outside.
So
what
will
the
department
do
moving
forward
to
alleviate
those
lines,
especially
during
those
harsh
weather
times.
F
Thank
you
for
the
question,
julie,
butler
again
for
the
record.
So
what
you're
seeing
there
is
really
a
function
of
the
covet
capacity
restrictions,
though
we
throughout
the
past
year,
have
had
to
deal
with
several
complaints
through
the
nevada,
occupational
safety
health
administration
regarding
our
coveted
protocols
and
those
complaints
have
come
in
from
the
public.
They've
also
come
in
from
our
staff
and,
as
a
result,
we've
had
the
osha's
stats
safety,
consultation
and
training
section
through
a
field
service
audit
on
all
of
our
18
offices
statewide.
F
What
scats
has
recommended
is
that,
in
order
to
maintain
the
social
distancing
is
that
we
get
rid
of
the
chairs
in
the
lobby
and
that
we
have
people
standing
outside,
and
we
maintain
that
six
foot
separation
for
us
to
put
the
chairs
back
in
the
lobby.
F
F
So
what
we
have
opted
to
do
is
have
people
wait
outside,
except
if
and
and
we
have
tried
really
hard
to
accommodate
those
with
disabilities
in
the
elderly.
We
do
have
a
limited
number
of
chairs
in
the
lobby
for
that
population,
but
that's
really
the
function
of
the
pandemic
again
long
term
as
we
move
those
services
online,
we're
hoping
that
the
problem
over
time
goes
away
because
you
won't
have
to
come
to
the
office
to
do
your
business.
F
We're
really
looking
forward
to
that
in
the
future
as
part
of
our
transformation
to
allow
a
lot
of
the
services
that
we
provide
to
be
provided
online,
and
so
as
we
move
forward.
A
So,
thank
you
for
that,
but
just
a
follow-up
on
it.
You
know
most
people
arrive
in
a
vehicle,
some
do
arrive
on
a
bus,
but
if
they
arrive
in
a
vehicle
would
there
be
a
way
to
do
a
numbering
system
and
a
person
can
wait
in
their
car
and
the
safety
and
comfort
of
their
vehicle
either
with
the
heater
on
or
air
conditioning
on,
considering
whatever
the
weather
is.
Has
that
thought
gone
through
and.
F
Yeah
julie,
butler
again
for
the
record.
We
do
actually
do
that.
We
have
we
tell
people
when
we
see
them.
We
have
a
through
our
q
system
program
called
mobile
ticketing,
where
we
will
send
the
customer
a
text
message
and
see
when
their
time
is
up,
and
so
we
we
do
tell
them
go
wait
in
your
vehicle.
Go
wait,
go
home
and
come
back
later
when
your
appointment
time.
What
we're
seeing
in
our
offices
is
that
the
customers
are
refusing
to
leave.
F
We
don't
know
that
if,
if
they're
not
trusting
that
that
their
spot
will
be
there
when
they
get
back
or
exactly
what
and
and
tommy
laney
is
our
administrator
of
our
field
services
division
and
is
on
the
call
administrator
laney.
If
you
would,
can
you
add
some
more
details
to
that?
Please.
H
Yes,
for
the
record
tony
laney
administrator
field
services,
division
for
the
nevada
department
of
motor
vehicles.
Thank
you
for
the
question
chair
director
butler
is
exactly
correct.
We
have
two
different
processes
that
we're
using
for
the
offices
for
customers
in
place
of
them
having
to
stand
outside.
We
either
offer
them
the
mobile
ticket
option,
or
we
actually
have
a
paper
ticket
that
will
give
them
if
they're
not
comfortable
using
their
cell
phone
or
simply
don't
have
one.
H
But
we
do
offer
those
two
different
solutions.
Excuse
me
those
two
different
solutions
to
customers,
but
we
are
seeing
where
there's
a
resistance
and
they
just
are
again.
We
don't
know
what
it
is,
if
they're
afraid
to
leave
if
they
have
already
driven
there.
So
they
figure
I'm
just
going
to
stand
here
and
wait
because
they
know
when
they're
going
to
be
seen.
So
it
could
be
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
when
we
first
open
we're
telling
them.
We
can't
see
them
until
two
and
they
will
still
stand
there
and
wait
until
two
o'clock.
A
Interesting,
thank
you.
Welcome.
I
have
two
more
we'll
have
assemblyman
wheeler
and
then
assemblywoman
peters
with
a
follow-up
question.
D
Hey
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
it
miss
butler.
I
get
two
types
of
phone
calls
every
day.
One
is
what's
wrong
with
dieter
and
the
other
one
is
what's
wrong
with
the
dmv
and
you
and
I
have
spoken
during
the
interim
on
some
of
these
things.
But
what
I'm
wondering
is
that
the
main
ones
that
I
get
from
my
constituents
are.
D
Let's
say
we
have
a
registration,
that's
due
in
january,
but
they
can't
get
an
appointment
until
february
or
they
try
to
go
online
and
there's
a
problem
and
their
insurance.
You
say
their
insurance
has
left,
they
say
they
haven't,
and
so
what
can
we
do?
Are
we
finding
people
or
are
we
putting
extra
fees
on
people
who
are
late
anymore?
I
know
at
the
beginning
we
weren't
doing
that
during
the
pandemic,
but
I
think
that's
expired
and
I
just
wanted
to
catch
up
on
that.
D
F
Julie
butler
for
the
record,
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
wonderful
bureaucratic
answer,
which
is
it
depends
in
in
some
cases
where
the
customer
could
have
done
the
registration
online
and
didn't,
and
now
we
find
them
sitting
in
front
of
us
at
a
customer
service
window
and
they
just
for
whatever
reason
didn't
pay.
Yes,
we
might
find
them
because
they
were
driving
their
car,
they
admit
to
our
technicians,
they
were
driving
their
car,
they
just
didn't
register
it
so
yeah.
Sometimes
we
find
them.
F
If
it's
a
case
where
you
know,
maybe
they
switched
insurance
companies
and
somehow
that
we
know
the
department
didn't
get
a
timely
record
of
that
and
it
looks
like
on
their
side.
Their
insurance
lapse.
Yeah,
we'll
take
that
into
consideration
and
waive
that
fine.
So
it
kind
of
just
it
kind
of
depends
on
the
circumstances,
but
you
know
most
people,
particularly
for
just
a
simple
renewal:
there's
really
no
excuse
by
a
you
know:
there
are
legitimately
people
that
don't
have
an
internet
connection,
but
for
most
of
the
population
you
will
see.
F
There's
really
no
excuse
why
they
can't
do
that
transaction
online.
You
don't
need
to
make
an
appointment
for
that.
The
registration
document
and
the
decal
will
arrive
in
the
mail
seven
to
ten
business
days
later.
It
is
active
right
at
the
time
they
pay
for
the
transaction
online.
So,
regardless
of
what
color
their
sticker
is,
if
law
enforcement
runs
them,
it
will
show
on
the
system
that
they've.
D
Okay
yeah:
it's
not
not
not
the
calls.
I've
been
getting
what
I've
been
getting
as
they
can
do
it
online
because
I
don't
know
maybe
they're
putting
in
the
wrong
information.
Whatever
I
did
mine
online.
It
was
fine,
but
and
then
they
try
to
get
a
hold
of
someone
and
they
can't
get
an
appointment
to
get
in
there
for
90
days
or
whatever
and
in
the
meantime
their
registration
is
going
to
lapse
and
they
have
to
drive
the
vehicle
to
get
to
work.
D
Or
you
know
in
in
my
district
to
go
skiing,
which
is
more
important.
B
D
And
but
so
I,
in
that
case
you
know
they
say
they
can't
get
it
done
online
for
whatever
reason
their
fault,
your
fault,
whatever.
Is
that
a
fine.
F
Julie
butler
for
the
record,
we
have
still
been
asking
the
nevada
and
chief
association
to
extend
people
some
grace
recognizing
the
the
issue
that
we're
in
that
they're
they're
legitimately,
are
the
lack
of
available
appointments.
There
are
certain
circumstances
where
legitimately,
if
you,
if
you
buy
your
car,
if
you
buy
a
new
car
from
your
neighbor,
you
can't
do
that
online.
F
We
get
that
there
are
those
those
particular
cases,
but
if
it's
a
car
you've
owned
you've
owned
it
for
the
past
10
years.
There's
no
reason
that
you
need
to
come
in
to
do
that.
So
it
just
kind
of
depends.
It's
a
fluid
situation.
There's
not
really
any
good
answers.
We
need
to
ask
law
enforcement
to
use
their
judgment
and
exercise
some
leniency
and
feel
our
way
through
this
thing,.
D
A
H
Thank
you
chair
and
if
I
could
make
a
comment,
I
think
that
there's
also
an
issue
with
like
folks
trying
to
balance
getting
to
the
dmv
and
also
their
day
job,
and
there
aren't
protections
for
people
and
missing
their
day
job
hours
to
go
to
the
dmv.
So
that's
also
something
to
consider
about
that
time
frame
of
people
either
being
there
not
being
able
to
make
their
appointments.
H
My
question
is
related
to
contracting
out
or
or
licensing
online
entities
for
certifying
drivers.
H
F
K
Sure
jd
decker
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
know
the
department,
so
we've
licensed
drive
schools
drive
instructors
for
a
number
of
years
and
we
do
regular
audits
to
make
sure
that
they're
complying
with
the
training
requirements
that
that
they're
that
are
in
the
nrs
currently,
so
we
we've
got
a
program.
K
That's
relatively
robust
after
the
2019
legislature
granted
us
an
additional
employee
specifically
for
drive
schools,
so
we
think
we're
ready
to
roll
out
a
number
of
different
programs
related
to
drive
schools
and
one
of
them.
It
would
be
an
auditing
function
for
which
someone
mentioned
previously,
where
we
would
have
to
go
out
and
audit
the
the
the
testing
that
the
department
might
contract
out.
But
we
feel
that
we
could
make
sure
that
they
were
up
to
the
standards
that
our
own
employees
use
to
to
certify
drivers.
H
So
I
guess
my
question
kind
of
rounds
into
when
the
dmv
certifies
the
state
takes
on
the
liability
of
saying
this
person
is
qualified
to
be
on
the
road
when
a
a
private
third
party
entity.
Does
that
does
the
state
then
in
licensing
them
to
give
that
to
give
that
certification
take
on
the
liability
or
will
they
have
a
responsibility
to
ensuring
that
drivers
are
actually
road
ready
and
if
something
does
happen
will
be
held
accountable
for
that.
K
Jd
decker
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
We.
We
actually
have
discussed
that
with
the
attorney
general's
office,
the
the
department
will
be
responsible
for
making
sure
that
the
schools
are
required
are
complying
with
the
requirements
for
training
and
testing,
but
all
that
the
department
is
doing
is
certified.
That
they've
met
the
prerequisites
for
being
issued
a
license.
K
We
don't
any
more
than
we
currently
do.
Issuing
a
license
does
isn't
the
state's
testimony
that
this
person
is
certified
to
be
a
good
driver
any
more
than
it
it
would
be
today.
So
if
they
meet
the
requirements
to
obtain
a
license,
then
the
state
would
issue
that
license,
but
they
would
the
individual
driver
or
the
school
would
still
be
liable
for
any
negligence
in
training
or
testing
that
person.
F
And
madam
chair,
if
I
could
circle
back
to
assemblywoman
peter's
question
about
the
other
highway
funds,
I
did
get
clarification
on
that
particular
question:
go
ahead,
director
butler
great!
Thank
you,
julie,
butler,
for
the
record.
F
So
several
legislative
sessions
ago,
the
depreciation
schedule
was
changed
on
the
the
taxes,
the
basic
governmental
services,
taxes
who
and
as
a
result
of
that
depreciation
change,
there
was
a
pot
of
money
that
was
that
was
generated
from
that
and
years
ago,
that
money
used
to
go
to
the
highway
fund
and
then,
in
the
last
legislative
session
2019
there
was
a
legislative
change
who
say:
75
of
that
money
went
to
the
highway
fund
and
25
went
to
general
fund,
then,
as
a
result
of
the
coven
19
pandemic
and
revenues
falling
off
a
cliff
in
order
to
avert
further
devastating
cuts.
F
The
the
31st
special
legislature
special
legislative
session,
diverted
all
of
those
funds
to
the
highway
fund
general
fund.
So
the
reason
for
that
99
drop
is
that's
money
that
used
to
go
to
the
highway
fund
that
25
million
now
only
101
000
went
there,
because
that
money
went
to
the
general
fund
to
offset
those
devastating
cuts
in
the
general
fund,
so
it-
and
this
gets
into
a
larger
presentation.
F
I
made
in
front
of
the
money
committee
last
week
in
our
department's
overview,
but
our
department
department
of
public
safety
department
of
transportation
depends
on
want
that
money
being
there
in
the
highway
fund
to
fund
our
ongoing
operations,
and
our
budget
was
predicated
on
some
of
that
money
being
restored.
So
those
will
be
decisions.
You
know
for
the
for
this
session
of
the
legislature
on
whether
or
not
that
funding
will
be
restored
to
the
highway
fund
and
to
what
extent.
H
F
A
Welcome
well
thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
the
end
of
this
presentation
and
the
discussion
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
and
director
butler
for
presenting
to
us
today,
director
butler.
I
know
there
was
a
lot
of
issues
at
the
beginning
of
your
presentation
and
we
weren't
able
to
get
everything
down
on
the
record.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
send
your
written
comments
to
our
committee
manager
so
that
it
can
be
accurately
put
into
our
our
minutes
for
the
meeting.
A
G
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
having
me
I
am
going
to
share
my
screen
and
for
the
record
I
was.
I
was
tuned
in
at
the
last
session,
and
I
I
all
my
all.
My
tech
was
going
well
until
right
at
director
butler's
last
question
and
I
got
kicked
out
so
hopefully
everything
goes
better
for
me.
We're
all
learning
to
be
patient
with
the
tech
issues.
So
again,
thank
you.
G
To
start,
I
wanted
to
offer
a
brief
refresher
on
who
we
are
as
a
department
at
our
core.
Ndot's
goal
is
to
keep
nevadans
and
visitors
safe
and
connected
wherever
they
may
be,
on
our
vast
transportation
system,
from
cleaning
up
litter,
to
repairing
guardrails,
to
building
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
road
projects
and
cutting-edge
traffic
monitoring
systems
to
responding
to
earthquake,
wildfire,
blizzard
and
other
urgent
events
right
alongside
our
first
responders.
We
truly
do
it.
All.
G
Ndot
is
responsible
for
planning
for
the
planning,
construction,
operation
and
maintenance
of
more
than
14
000
lane
miles
of
highway,
of
which
70
are
located
in
rural
nevada
and
more
than
twelve
hundred
bridges
we
are.
While
we
are
proud
to
be
one
of
the
largest
builders
of
infrastructure
in
the
state.
We
also
recognize
and
embrace
our
role
as
stewards
of
the
environment,
and,
to
that
end,
we
look
forward
to
being
a
key
partner
in
helping
the
state
of
nevada
reach
our
greenhouse
gas
goal
emissions
greenhouse
gas
emission
goals.
G
Our
ndot
is
overseen
by
a
seven
member
board
which
is
chaired
by
the
governor.
We
have
three
distinct
districts.
Each
headed
by
a
district
engineer
shown
on
the
slide
in
front
of
you
district
one
is
primarily
southern
nevada
and
headquartered
in
las
vegas.
District
two
is
in
primarily
the
reno
area,
western
nevada,
headquartered
in
reno
and
district
three
is
in
northeastern
nevada,
headquartered
in
elko.
G
Nevada's
population
grew
more
than
14,
while
the
number
of
licensed
vehicles
or
registered
vehicles
grew
by
21,
while
only
about
19
of
nevada's
roads
are
on
the
state
maintained
system.
This
19
carry
70
percent
of
all
truck
traffic
and
half
of
all
vehicle
traffic.
We
maintain
the
roads
that
get
food,
vaccines
and
other
supplies
to
nevada
families,
and
we
connect
rural
and
urban
communities
alike,
attracting
tourism
and
helping
businesses
expand.
G
We
are
not
just
a
highway
agency,
we're
not
just
roads
and
bridges.
We
are
a
multimodal
system
that
supports
travel
by
pedestrian
rail
bike.
Air
and
bus
ndot
also
manages
the
majority
of
federal
funding
for
nevada's
rural
transit
programs
throughout
the
state.
I
should
focus.
We
have
no
role
in
urban
transit,
just
rural
transit
offering
over
5
million
rides
annually
for
the
disabled,
elderly
and
others
in
rural
nevada.
G
I
mentioned
emergency
response,
so
on
top
of
maintenance.
Our
crews
are
on
the
scene
day
and
night
whenever
there
is
an
emergency
during
wildfires
ndot
often
sets
up
traffic
controls
and
road
closures
as
needed.
We
have
also
supplied
water
tankers
with
operators,
our
operators
sometimes
step
in
to
help.
We
offer
the
use
of
our
fuel
sites
that
are
located
across
the
state
for
emergency
events
to
local
agencies
and
first
responders,
and
we
directly
support
fire
personnel
day
and
night
back
in
june
of
2020
rain,
prompted
a
significant
mudslide
on
state
route.
G
G
Multiple
end
up
maintenance,
crews
from
quinn,
river
or
avada,
and
winnemucca
responded
quickly
and
worked
around
the
clock
to
clear
the
mud
and
rocks
the
prompt
response
by
n-dot
crews
ensured
all
mud
was
cleared
away
and
the
road
was
reopened
in
approximately
two
and
a
half
days
and
in
may
of
last
year,
and
I
had
to
respond
to
the
largest
earthquake
in
the
state
in
over
60
years,
just
south
of
mina
in
nevada
and
north
of
tonopah,
we
were
able
to
re-open
us
95
between
u.s
route,
6
and
state
route,
360
and
elsmaralda
and
mineral
counties
following
the
6.5
magnitude
earthquake
within
actually
earlier
than
spec
and
earlier
than
expected
and
within.
G
I
think
it
was
six
hours
that
we
were
able
to
repair
the
road
and
you
can
see
on
on
this
slide.
There
was
a
significant
cracking
and
actually
you
can't
see
the
differential
settlement,
but
there
was
approximately
a
four
inch
bump
in
u.s
95
at
that
location.
So
we
did
need
to
do
an
emergency
closure
and
repair
to
get
it
functional
again,
so
traveling
public
on
95
could
get
to
where
they
were
going
and
day
to
day.
We
are
there.
National
statistics
show
that,
for
every
minute
a
freeway
lane
is
blocked.
G
Our
freeway
service
patrol
vehicles
which
operate
in
las
vegas
metro
area
and
the
reno
sparks
metro
area
patrol
fixed
re-ray
routes,
helping
to
keep
freeways
clear
by
assisting
motorists
to
remove
stalled
vehicles,
extinguishing
minor
vehicle
fires,
providing
traffic
control
and
safety
at
incident
scenes,
and
sometimes
even
providing
that
very
basic
first
aid.
Prior
to
the
arrival
of
paramedics.
G
We
have
also
worked
together
with
our
traffic
safety
partners
and
traffic
incident
management
coalitions
to
detect,
respond
to
and
remove
traffic
incidents.
Since
2008,
we
have
trained
5
000
of
the
state's
8
000
first
responders
to
implement
safe,
quick
clearance
of
traffic
incidents
and
due
to
our
emphasis
on
traffic
safety,
some
areas
of
las
vegas
have
seen
secondary
crashes
cut
in
half
in
just
five
years,
and
we
do
support
our
rural
communities.
The
majority
of
our
network
is
comprised
of
roads
in
rural
parts
of
the
state.
G
In
fact,
86
percent
of
our
center
line
miles
70
of
our
total
lane
miles,
are
in
rural
nevada
in
2019
ndot
dedicated
over
200
million
dollars
towards
project
in
rural
areas.
This
money
went
to
new
construction
preservation
and
other
projects
and
counties
outside
washoe
and
clark.
While
these
roads
are
outside
our
urban
areas,
they
are
critical
to
ensuring
the
products
we
rely
on
can
get
to
the
stores
and
our
homes
and
ensure
that
we
can
safely
get
to
the
beautiful
parts
of
the
state
that
nevadans
love
to
recreate
in
and
ongoing.
G
Regular
maintenance
prolongs
the
lives
of
these
roads
and
is
cheaper
than
replacement
due
to
deferred
maintenance.
So,
let's
start
getting
into
the
meat
and
potatoes
I'd
like
to
talk.
First
about
our
highway
fund
revenue,
state
highways
maintained
by
ndot
are
funded
primarily
with
highway
user
revenue
and
federal
funds.
I
should
note
that
federal
funds
are
basically
federal
fuel
tax,
that's
collected
at
the
pump,
it
goes
to
the
federal
government
and
then
it
gets
sent
back
to
us.
We
are
fortunate
in
that
we
get
more
money
back
than
we
contribute
as
a
state.
G
G
G
The
majority
of
the
state
highway
fund
finances
department
of
transportation.
Ndot
is
not
supported
by
any
general
funds.
A
significant
amount
of
the
operating
costs
of
the
dmv
and
dps
primarily
highway
patrol
are
also
supported
by
appropriations
from
the
highway
fund,
and
typically
there
are
other
minor
appropriations
or
transfers
to
other
agencies.
G
I
should
note
that
the
federal
aid
is
primarily
fuel
taxes,
but
the
state
revenue
is
only
a
little
bit
more
than
50
percent
fuel
taxes.
So,
overall,
our
fund
is
about
half
fuel
taxes
and
half
other
sources,
as
you
can
see.
That
includes
vehicle
and
other
registration
fees,
motor
carrier
fees,
licensing
fees,
so
it
is
primarily
user
revenue,
but
it's
not
all
directly
linked
to
the
use
of
the
roadway
network.
G
I
wanted
to
touch
for
a
minute
on
highlighting
one
unique
aspect
of
the
revenue
generated
for
the
state
highway
fund.
It
is
constitutionally
protected.
Specifically,
we
are
governed
by
article
9,
section
5
of
the
nevada
constitution,
which
limits
gas
tax
revenue,
user
revenue
as
a
whole
to
highway
expenditures.
Since
enactment
in
the
30s,
this
constitutional
provision
has
been
important
in
ensuring
that
ndot
has
had
sufficient
funding
to
build
and
maintain
the
roads
and
highways.
G
However,
it's
not
without
its
faults.
The
language
has
limited
end
up
from
using
the
funding
towards
operations,
and
we
are
increasingly
becoming
a
more
operations
driven
organization
and
none
of
it
can
be
used
for
transit,
and
while
there
is
a
lot
of
conversation
about
how
we
fund
transit,
urban
transit
is
key
to
our
ability
to
move
everyone
in
nevada
in
a
sustainable,
safe
and
sustainable
way,
and
we
do
need
to
figure
out
how
to
fund
transit
in
the
long
run
all
right.
So,
let's
look
at
how
the
state
highway
fund
is
spent.
G
As
I
mentioned
the
majority
of
it.
It
goes
to
ndot
of
the
1.1
billion
in
fiscal
19,
ndot
spent
929
million,
which
did
include
112
million
of
bond
proceeds
that
were
received
in
fiscal
year,
18.
on
an
annual
basis.
Our
revenues
that
revenues
allocated
the
department
are
typically
close
to
800
million.
G
G
It's
important
to
note
that
the
fluctuations
you
see
in
spending
are
due
to
many
factors,
including
projects
and
their
specific
payment
curves.
Because
of
the
federal
obligation
process,
we
have
to
obligate
our
fully
obligate
our
federal
funding
when
we
go
to
contract
award
the
contract,
but
the
spending
may
occur
over
a
variety
of
years,
so
the
spending
does
fluctuate,
even
though
the
budget
does
not.
G
I
did
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
covid
covet
has
definitely
had
a
negative
impact
on
vehicle
volumes
on
our
roads
and
therefore
the
revenue
generated
for
the
highway
fund.
This
reflects
our
count
stations.
We've
highlighted
a
few
count
stations
across
the
state
to
show
how
significantly
it
has
impacted
our
on
the
travel
on
the
roads.
It
doesn't
exactly
align
with
our
fuel
revenue
simply
because
we
get
different
proportions
from
freight
versus
from
regular
vehicles
and
freight
traffic
has
truck.
G
Traffic
has
remained
strong
throughout
the
pandemic,
but
you
can
see
during
the
first
quarter
of
the
pandemic.
There
was
a
significant
drop
in
driving
across
the
state
and
it
has
not
yet
fully
recovered
while
I-80
and
that's
where
the
count
on
in
elko
is
on
I-80
I-80
had
recovered
during
the
holiday
season.
It
has
fallen
back
a
little
bit.
G
Dmv
is
currently
projecting
for
the
biennium
that
that
fuel
revenue
will
remain
eight
percent
lower
than
actual
fiscal
year
19..
Based
on
our
trend,
our
observations
we
anticipate
this
is
conservative
and
we'll
provide
updates
to
all
the
legislators
as
we
get
updated
information
from
the
dmv
in
our
budget
request.
G
G
You
don't
need
to
do
it
every
month,
but
you
do
need
to
do
it
and
if
we
don't
have
that
as
an
available
resource
to
spend
when
we
need
to
it
allows
that
deferred
maintenance
increases
the
cost
of
the
maintenance
and
preservation
at
a
later
date
significantly
along
that
time
frame.
We've
also
seen
a
significant
growth
in
our
bmt,
our
vehicles,
mild
traveled
across
the
network.
This
slide
shows
vehicle
miles
since
1993
from
2008
to
2018
vehicle
miles.
Traveled
increased
about
30
percent
and
our
projections
indicate
over
the
next
10
years.
G
And
you
might
expect
that
that
makes
sense,
because
our
state
is
growing
and
as
our
state
grows,
there's
more
people
and
they
should
be
and
they're
driving
and
so
bmt
should
naturally
increase.
But
what
we've
actually
found
is
that
vmt
is
out
is
outpacing
growth.
So
if,
if
bmt
was
just
matching
population
it
would
the
curve
would
be
the
same,
but
you
can
see
per
capita
people
are
driving
more
every
year.
G
This
chart
and
I'm
sorry,
I'm
giving
you
a
lot
of
charts
and
I'm
glad
you
have
a
copy
of
the
powerpoint
in
front
of
you.
So
you
can
like
go
back
and
chew
on
them
a
little
bit
and
we're
always
happy
to
answer
questions
later.
If
you
have
them
represent
the
vmt,
so
vehicle
miles,
traveled
versus
highway
fund
revenue
normalized
to
2008
and
really
what
I
want
you
to
see
on.
This
are
the
dashed
lines.
The
dashed
orange
line
on
the
top
and
the
light
blue
dash
line
on
the
bottom.
G
G
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
planning,
since
our
revenue
is
not
keeping
pace
with
our
demands,
we
must
be
as
efficient
as
possible
with
our
resources
ensuring
we're
getting
the
maximum
benefit
to
nevadans
for
years
to
come.
Our
one
nevada
plan
is
a
unified
plan
that
was
completed
in
2018
just
prior
to
the
last
biennium
that
brought
the
entire
state
together
to
establish
goals
on
how
we
should
drive
our
program
forward.
G
The
plan
provides
a
common
foundation
and
shared
policy
framework
for
making
informed,
transparent
and
responsive
transportation
investments
across
the
state.
It
helps
us
be
performance
based
on
future
transportation
projects
that
will
continue
to
best
meet
the
needs
and
goals
of
the
state.
The
final
phase
of
the
ndot,
the
one
nevada
plan,
is
the
step
the
statewide
transportation
improvement
program,
which
is
the
state's
transportation
capital
improvement
plan.
G
I
have
to
take
a
breath
I'm
trying
to
get
through
this
as
much
as
I
can
so
there's
time
for
questions
so
some
major
projects.
I
wanted
to
highlight
some
major
projects
for
you.
I
should
note
that
the
capital
program
in
this
biennial
budget
is
1.8088
billion
dollars
less
than
what's
shown
on
the
slide,
because
the
slide
actually
represents
three
fiscal
years,
so
those
projects
that
have
already
gone
or
are
getting
ready
to
go
this
year,
as
well
as
those
that
may
that
are
anticipated
to
go
into
biennium.
G
But
we
wanted
you
to
be
aware
of
these,
because
these
may
overlap
the
biennium
and
the
spending.
So
I
wanted
you
to
be
aware
of
them.
You
can
see
in
southern
nevada.
A
couple
of
the
projects
are
already
well
underway:
the
I-15
215
interchange
in
the
northeast
valley,
the
centennial,
the
final
phase
of
the
centennial
bowl,
the
northwest
valley,
tropicana,
the
tropicana
interchange
reconstruction
project,
we're
anticipating
that
to
get
going
later
this
year
and
many
others.
G
Investment
in
transportation
not
only
reduces
travel
times,
creates
safer
roads,
improves
quality
of
life
and
provides
million,
but
it
also
provides
millions
of
dollars
in
economic
activity
for
our
communities,
this
federal
fiscal
year
to
date
so
starting
october
1
to
today
our
program
has
added
over
2
thousand
or
supported
two
over
two
thousand
job
years,
and
for
the
last
federal
fiscal
year
ending
in
september
of
2020,
we
were
able
to
support
over
8
600
job
years
in
the
for
for
nevadans.
G
We
have
four
bills.
I
want
to
put
on
your
radar
for
this
legislative
session
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
a
lot
of
detail
on
these,
because
I
know
we're
running
short
on
time,
but
80
12
revises
provisions
regarding
the
qualifications
for
the
deputy
director
and
chief
engineer.
We
found
that
the
current
qualifications
are
too
narrow
and
we
really
wanted
to
broaden
it.
So
we
can
broaden
the
pool
and
increase
the
diversity
of
qualified
application
applicants.
G
G
Aab
53
modifies
the
requirements
for
a
callback
system
on
certain
highways.
We
currently
maintain
a
call
box
system
on
I-15
south
of
south
of
las
vegas.
That
system
is
obsolete.
Our
neighboring
states
have
have
primarily
eliminated
all
of
their
call
box
systems
as
well.
G
The
nature
of
how
we
travel
and
how
we
communicate
has
changed
and
further
we're
concerned
about
the
safety
of
our
of
our
travelers
on
the
roadway
and
making
sure
that
we
provide
a
system,
that's
most
flexible,
so
that
they
can
get
the
information
they
need
and
also
stay
safe
should
they
have
an
emergency
and
the
last
one
is
ab54
which
formalizes
an
advisory
committee
to
study
issues
and
make
recommendations
to
state
and
local
agencies
to
improve
traffic
safety.
This
there
is
an
existing
committee.
G
There
are
two
specific
bills
that
I
wanted
to
put
on
your
radar
that
we
are
tracking
closely
and
have
worked
with
legislators
on
already
one
of
which,
as
we
noted
before.
Oh
I
actually
didn't
know
it
before,
would
be
to
amend
the
state
constitution
to
expand
the
permissible
uses
of
the
state
highway
fund.
G
These
bills
are
critical
and
they're
critical,
also
to
us,
as
as
ndot
and
to
us
as
a
state
and
ensuring
that
our
transportation
system
can
continue
to
meet
the
needs
of
all
nevadans,
and
we
do
truly
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
on
those
bills
and
then,
lastly,
I
do
want
to
talk
to
you
about
our
role
in
the
state's
climate
future
as
nevadan
state
as
nevada's
statewide
transportation
agency.
We
have
to
address
head
on
the
fact
that
transportation
is
the
biggest
contributor
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
the
state.
G
Ndot
currently
serves
as
the
pilot
state
agency
to
develop
policies
and
strategies
to
assess
and
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
within
our
agency,
and
we've
already
identified
numerous
areas
for
emission
reduction
as
part
of
the
state's
climate
action
plan.
It
is,
however,
imperative
that
we
use
this
time
to
think
critically
about
all
potential
outcomes
of
our
ideas.
G
For
instance,
ndot
supports
and
encourages
electric
vehicles
as
a
critical
means
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
We
know
that
is
the
future.
However,
the
reduced
tailpipe
pipe
emissions
that
come
with
increased
vehicle
ev
adoption
is
not
enough
to
meet
nevada's
ambitious
climate
goals.
If
you
recall
my
bmt
slide,
we
are
continuing
to
drive
further
and
further,
and
the
adoption
rate
of
the
evs
just
isn't
fast
enough
to
overcome
that
this
has
been
shown
in
other
states
that
are
a
few
heads
years
ahead
of
us
in
this
ev
space.
G
The
challenging
reality
is
that,
as
I
said,
we're
out
driving
the
benefits
of
evs
additionally,
without
a
way
to
replace
that
lost
tax
revenue
caused
by
the
rapid
transition
away
from
gas
vehicles.
Our
very
infrastructure
that
we're
trying
to
protect
from
the
devastating
impacts
of
climate
change
could
fall
into
disrepair.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
take
a
breath
in
a
quick
drink
of
water.
You
gotta
be
pretty
fast.
I
do
have
four
people
online
for
questions
and
I
am
going
to
start
with
assemblyman
and
my
vice
chair
of
watts.
C
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
sharon.
Thank
you.
Director
swallow
for
the
presentation,
appreciate
it
a
little
bit
more
of
a
comment
now
you
know
when
we
had
a
presentation
on
the
climate
strategy.
Your
department
was
lifted
up
for
its
leadership
in
integrating
greenhouse
gas
reductions
and
climate
considerations
into
your
planning
and
operations.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that
and
for
for
diving
into
that,
a
little
bit
more
at
the
end
of
your
presentation
and
and
noting
some
of
the
dynamics
there,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
add
in
that
particular
area
in
terms
of
some
of
the
key
things
that
you
identify,
that
the
department
is
going
to
work
on
with
regards
to
climate,
both
for
emissions
reduction
and
adaptation,
to
any
any
effects
that
the
changing
climate
may
have
on
your
operations.
G
You
know
one
of
the,
so
we've
identified
a
bunch
of
things
we're
in
the
process
of
determining
how
we'll
roll
them
out
and
implement
them.
One
of
the
key
areas
that
we're
looking
at
is
how
can
we
reduce
the
emissions
on
our
projects,
so
every
construction
project,
all
the
vehicles
arriving
to
the
site,
the
materials
that
are
arriving
the
site?
How
can
we
reduce
the
environmental
impact
of
the
construction
of
the
work
itself?
That
is
a
key
area
that
we
are
looking
at.
G
We
are
looking
at
things
we
can
do
within
our
building
operations
within
our
fleet
because
of
covid.
We,
we
primarily
most
of
our
design
team,
has
been
telecommuting
for
the
duration
of
of
covid
and
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
maintaining
that
to
some
extent
long
term.
We
know
that
we
need
to
get
back,
but
but
to
the
extent
that
we
can
provide
some
flexibility
and
continue
a
partial
telecommuting.
We
are
going
to
be
looking
at
that.
G
I
think
the
key
thing
that
we
all
need
to
be
thinking
about,
though,
is
as
nevadans
as
as
the
dot
I
have.
I
have
very
little
control
over
how
we
all
drive
as
individual
nevadans
and
where
we
choose
to
live
and
work
and
play,
and-
and
that
is
going
to
be
a
really
hard
critical,
though
conversation
that
we
have
across
the
state
with
all
of
our
community
stakeholders
about
how
we
build
our
communities
and
how
we
move
within
them.
C
Thank
you
for
that
and
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
on
this
area
and
I
hope
other
state
agencies
and
departments
follow
your
lead
in
incorporating
some
of
those
elements
into
their
own
plans
and
activities.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
echo
the
sentiments
of
the
vice
chair.
I
have
up
next
and
ellison
and
then
it's
in
the.
C
C
I
really
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
what
you're
doing

to
jackpot
it
the
amount
of
deaths
on
that
road
and
and
no
passing
lanes
and-
and
you
guys
have
done
a
lot
to
help
and-
and
I
can't
tell
you
that
without
it
you
know
it,
it
could
get
worse
and
you've
got
a
great
team,
and
I
can't
thank
them
enough
and,
and
it
might
take
a
few
years
to
get
it
done,
but
at
least
you
know
how
you
eat
an
elephant
one
bite
at
a
time
the
same
thing
here,
so
thank
you
so
much
and-
and
I
can't
thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
director
swallow
for
the
presentation,
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
conversations
about
roadway
funding,
bmt
et
cetera.
I
I
know
you're
looking
to
do
a
do
a
study,
but
what
it
looked
like
was
that
you're
using
data
from
2018
2019,
and
so
my
question
is,
is
is:
do
you
have
any
current
data
moving
forward
so
that
we
can
really
understand
the
impacts
of
the
situation
as
it
currently
exists?.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question.
We
do
monitor
our
bmt
across
the
state
annually,
so
we
just
received
our
2019..
It
does
lag
by
a
year
by
the
time
we
assemble
all
the
information.
We
did
just
receive
the
2019
data
actually
yesterday
morning
and
it
was
too
late
to
incorporate
that
data
into
the
presentation.
G
That
said,
the
study
that
we're
going
to
do
isn't
just
going
to
be
focused
on
nevada.
It
definitely
is
going
to
be
focused
on
nevada
and
the
impacts
to
nevadans,
but
we're
going
to
be
looking
broadly
to
see
where
funding
opportunities
may
lie
and
be
creative
about
that
thinking.
There
are
a
couple
of
states
and
the
scr-3
interim
committee
did
look
at
some
models
that
have
been
implemented
in
utah
and
washington.
G
There's
a
third
model
that
was
considered
from
an
outside
agency,
not
or
from
an
organization
that
nrdc
that
was
being
considered,
but
so
we're
going
to
look
at
all
of
those
we're
also
and-
and
this
is
being
presumptive-
that
the
bill
comes
through.
We're
also
going
to
be
interested
in
hearing
what
the
legislators
think
and
what
our
community
members
think
of
of
those
existing
models.
As
well
as
potential
others,
I
should
note
we're
also
going
to
be
looking
as
we
do.
G
G
In
the
conversation
when
we
evaluate
new
models,
so
we
will
be
using
as
current
of
data
as
is
available,
we
are
going
to
be
surveying
other
states
and
other
agencies
broadly
to
see
what
the
options
are.
We're
going
to
do
a
deep
dive
to
understand
what
the
implications
will
be
in
terms
of
technology
requirements,
cost
requirements
where
it
is
meant
to
be
a
comprehensive
study
to
really
help
shape
and
inform
both
our
community
members
as
stakeholders,
as
well
as
you
as
legislators.
G
K
Thank
you
for
that.
I
just
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
don't
have
any
misrepresented
results
due
to
not
using
the
most
relevant
data,
and
so
it's
it's
often
difficult
in
our
jobs,
to
make
a
a
decision
that
affects
affects
all
of
nevada
if
we
don't
have
the
most
relevant
data
in
the
results
accordingly.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you,
assemblyman
lovett,
and,
seeing
that
we
have
no
more
questions,
I'd
like
to
thank
director
and
your
team
for
the
work
that
you
did
in
putting
this
presentation
together
and
the
work
that
you
did
during
the
interim
with
the
energy
committee
addressing
a
number
of
these
issues.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
members.
A
I
know
it's
a
long
day
and
I
apologize
for
that,
but
we
have
two
more
presentations,
all
of
which
are
important,
so
we'll
be
joined
now
by
members
from
nevada's
two
regional
transportation
commissions
who
have
similar
mandate,
which
is
tailored
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
different
communities
that
they
serve
from
the
regional
transportation
commission
of
southern
nevada.
We
have,
we
will
welcome
general
manager,
mj
maynard
and
she
is
joined
by
angela
torres
castro
chief
strategy
policy
and
marketing
director.
I
Manager,
let
me
share
the
screen
here,
find
this
share.
I
Okay,
is
it
good
to
go?
Everyone
can
see
that
excellent.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair
vice
chair
watson,
community
members,
for
the
opportunity
to
present
you
today,
I'm
going
to
provide
you
an
overview
of
rtc
in
southern
nevada,
who
we
are,
what
we
do
I'll,
also
discuss
our
current
funding
model
and
then
I'll
finish
up
with
a
brief
description
of
our
agency's
priorities.
I
So
we
are
very
unique.
I
think
most
of
you
know
that
we're
the
only
agency
in
the
u.s
to
house
all
these
functions
under
one
umbrella.
We
are
the
public
transit
provider,
we
are
the
mpo,
our
metropolitan
planning
organization.
So
we
work
closely
with
all
the
local
jurisdictions
to
plan
and
fund
all
roadways
here
in
southern
nevada
and
then
we're
also
the
traffic
manager
for
the
entire
region.
I
So
let
me
provide
you
with
a
little
more
insight
on
our
transit
system.
It
is
rtc's
responsibility
to
provide
transportation
for
both
our
residents
and
our
tourists.
The
options
include,
of
course,
our
traditional
fixed
drought
service,
our
bus
system,
paired
transit
service.
We
also
provide
specialized
services
for
our
senior
and
our
veteran
population
of
the
rtc.
Currently
we
operate
38
routes
servicing
more
than
3
000
transit
stops.
I
We're
also
required
to
provide
ada
paratransit
service
within
the
three-quarter
mile
boundary
of
the
fixed
route
service
we
operate
and
maintain
more
than
800
vehicles,
800
buses
and
in
fiscal
20
we
provided
more
than
65
million
passenger
rides
on
our
fixed
shot
service
and
1.4
million
passenger
rights
on
our
paratransit
service,
as
I
mentioned,
we
do
provide
services
to
seniors
and
veterans,
it's
not
mandated
by
law,
but
we
know
it's.
The
right
thing
to
do.
Transportation
is
key
to
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
and
many
seniors
and
veterans
many
times.
I
I
Sorry
about
that,
so
our
transit
operating
revenue
is
primarily
comprised
of
sales,
tax
and
passenger
fares,
and,
what's
unusual
in
this
budget
slide,
is
the
inclusion
of
a
temporary
funding
source?
So
if
you
look
on
the
site,
the
cares
act,
that
is,
the
chronovirus
aid
relief
and
economic
security
act
that
provided
much
needed
revenue
during
the
pandemic
and
I'll
get
into
that
in
the
next
couple
of
slides.
I
We
anticipate
our
budget
projections
will
continue
to
change
and
actually
when
compared
to
actual
so
you
know
this
ongoing
economic
pandemic
has
certainly
impacted
us,
and
so,
as
we
are
currently
working
on
our
fiscal
22
budget,
these
numbers
will
change.
I
So
our
fiscal
21
budget,
transit
operating
expenditures
is
primarily
dedicated
to
contracted
services.
So
you
see
on
the
slide
almost
198
million
dollars
annually.
That's
the
cost
to
provide
the
contracted
services.
Many
of
you
know
we
partner
with
private
sector
contractors
to
provide
the
operations
and
maintenance
of
the
system
so
included
in
this
contracted
cost
is
the
the
cost
to
operate
the
system
to
maintain
the
vehicles,
how
to
maintain
and
clean
bus,
3000
bus
shelters,
fuel
security?
Things
like
that.
I
So
product
cover
19,
we
were
already
facing
our
transit,
our
transit
budget,
we're
already
facing
a
deficit
deficit
going
down
into
the
out
years,
and
the
pandemic
only
exacerbated
that
so
the
orange
bars
represent
the
pre-pandemic
deficit
that
we
were
facing,
as
you
can
see,
six
million
dollars
and
twenty
a
twenty
million
dollar
deficit
in
twenty
one,
a
fourteen
million
dollar
deficit
in
twenty
two
and
a
thirteen
million
deficit
in
23,
and
we
thought
we
were
really.
This
is
going
to
be
tough
stuff
and
then
the
pandemic
hit
and
the
red
bars
represent.
I
The
affects
the
pandemic
and,
as
I
mentioned,
passenger
fares
and
sales
tax
are
the
two
primary
sources
for
transit
funding
and
both
were
significantly
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
and
so
you
know
it
increased
dramatically:
30
million
dollars
it
rose
to
the
deficit
in
20.
54
million
deficit,
now
we're
facing
in
21
an
18
million
dollar
deficit
in
22
and
a
25
million
deficit
in
23..
I
So
we
obviously
we
had
to
do
something
we
had
to.
We
had
to
look
at
our
own
internal
practices
and,
as
we
were,
compiling
our
21
budget,
the
team
did
a
great
job.
We
went
back
and
we
cut
40
million
dollars
from
our
21
budget
that
we're
currently
operating
right.
Now
we
eliminated
and
postponed
capital
project
we
eliminated
postponed
in
some
cases
cut
out
completely
contracts.
We
implemented
a
hiring
freeze,
everyone
from
the
top
down.
We
took
a
pay
cut.
I
We
unfortunately
had
to
lay
off
15
of
our
workforce,
lay
up
in
furlough,
and
then
we
had
to
make
a
very
difficult
decision
in
october
of
20
to
reduce
our
transit
service
by
nine
million
dollars,
but
thanks
to
thanks
to
our
federal
delegation
and
to
the
federal
stimulus,
really
it
came
in
nick
of
time.
So
I
think
many
of
you
know
we
received
the
cares
act
and
then
recently
there,
a
second
stimulus
came
out.
I
It's
called
the
chronovirus
response
and
relief,
supplemental
appropriations,
act
otherwise
known
as
chrisa,
and
both
funding
sources
will
help
the
rtc
address
the
budget
deficit
through
2025
and
I'll
tell
you
that
that
was
probably
christmas
early.
That
was
some
of
the
best
news
that
we
could
receive
as
a
transit
agency.
I
So
although
the
federal
stimulus
will
help
us
address
our
our
deficit,
as
I
mentioned
25,
it's
a
one-time
funding
source
one
time.
So
when
that
funding
source
is
depleted,
we're
looking
at
significant
funding
deficits
in
the
out
years,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
slide
in
fiscal
26
and
27,
we
fall
off
the
cliff
we're
facing
a
44
million
deficit
both
of
those
years.
I
I
We
continue
to
receive
requests
from
both
businesses
and
residents
who
live
in
areas
of
the
valley
that
are
either
underserved
or
not
served
at
all
by
transit,
particularly
in
areas
of
the
the
south,
the
southwest
west,
henderson
and
portions
of
the
northwest
an
in
order,
but
we
also
know
this
is
really
really
important.
We
also
know
that
many
of
our
current
transit
customers
they
need
more
frequent
service,
and
so
in
order
to
make
our
transit
system
more
equitable
right,
many
areas
of
the
urban
core
need
more
service.
I
To
put
this
in
perspective,
there
are
over
176
000
persons
in
the
las
vegas
valley,
without
access
to
a
vehicle,
and
many
in
those
areas
that
are
underserved
by
transit,
fall
within
or
below
the
poverty
line,
and
these
persons
do
not
have
access
to
any
jobs
available
beyond
the
reach
of
the
transit
system,
and
so,
as
an
agency
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
for
funding
wherever
we
can
and
we'll
continue
to
manage
to
our
deficit,
and
thanks
to
the
federal
stimulus
that
I
just
mentioned,
we've
been
able
to
safely
maintain
our
transit
service
and
keep
drivers
employed,
and
this
is
important
to
note.
I
The
specific
intent
of
both
the
cares
act
and
prisa
is
that
transit
agencies
are
being
asked
to
ensure
that
these
funds
are
used
to
do
just
that,
maintain
transit
service
and
avoid
layoffs
and
furloughs
where
possible,
and
so
today,
we've
spent
across
approximately
14
million
dollars
to
institute
safety
measures
on
behalf
of
our
customers,
the
drivers,
the
security
officers
and
our
staff.
Those
safety
measures
include
retrofitting
our
driver
enclosure,
so
the
driver
is
now
fully
in
a
closed
compartment
for
their
added
safety.
I
We
are
we've
implemented
a
real-time
passenger
account
so
that
customers
that
are
riding
transit
can
determine
what's
best,
for
them
is
the
bus
too
full?
Maybe
I'm
going
to
wait
for
the
next
bus
again
thinking
about
their
their
health
and
safety,
we're
installing
ion
air
filters
on
the
vehicles
for
the
air
cleanliness
inside
the
coaches
and
then
we're
implementing
social
distancing
on
our
vehicles
by
adding
a
bus
service
additional
buses
to
limit
the
number
of
customers
that
are
actually
writing
transit.
I
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
plan
to
use
the
remaining
stimulus
funding
to
address
the
ongoing
deficit
and
to
continue
to
maintain
maintain
transit
service
over
the
next
few
years,
and
so
now
that
we've
covered
transit.
Let's
talk
about
planning,
roadway
planning,
so
our
streets
and
highway
revenues
primarily
can
pro
com
comprise
a
motor
fuel
tax
and
fuel
revenue,
indexing
or
fri.
I
So
the
initial
fri
funding
measure
was
made
possible
by
assembly
bill
413
during
the
2013
legislative
session.
As
a
reminder,
a
portion
of
every
gallon
of
gas
purchased
in
clark
county
is
funding
critical
transportation
projects,
creating
jobs
and
really
improving
the
economy
here
in
southern
nevada.
I
The
good
news
is
that
current
trends
point
to
actual
revenues
exceeding
budget
expectations,
as
shown
here
on
this
slide,
and
this
recent
highway
spending
on
roadway
projects
in
fiscal
21
was
budgeted
at
164
million
dollars.
These
funds
are
received
by
the
rtc,
but
slated
for
spending
on
road
work
for
member
jurisdictions.
I
I
We
were
projecting
75.9
million
motor
vehicle
fuel
tax
revenues,
118.2
million
dollars
in
fuel
tax
revenues-
and
you
can
see
here
the
there's
been
a
revenue
decrease
of
about
67.2
million
dollars
in
motor
vehicle
fuel
tax
for
lost
about
eight
little
over
close
to
nine
million
dollars
and
a
we're
now
project
projecting
105.5
million
dollars
in
fuel
tax
revenue
for
loss
of
about
12.7
million,
so
combined
total
loss
right
now
it's
about
20
million,
but
it's
again
we're
seeing
trends,
we're
seeing
more
driving,
that's
occurring.
I
I
I
And
we
know
that
construction
and
infrastructure
projects
are
one
of
the
fastest
ways
to
support
economic
relief
by
getting
work
out
and
providing
good
paying
jobs.
And
so
we
work
in
coordination
with
the
local
governments
to
regionally
plan
and
fund
roadway
projects,
while
the
local
jurisdictions
themselves
they
advertise
award
and
build
roadway
projects
that
are
funded
by
the
rtc.
I
I
In
interest
in
transit
roadways,
I
mentioned
the
rtc
also
oversees
traffic
management,
our
freeway
and
arterial
system
of
transportation,
or
our
fast
division
manages
the
traffic
network
here
in
southern
nevada,
on
behalf
of
the
state
d.o.t,
the
local
jurisdictions
and
fast
works
with
the
jurisdictions
on
traffic
signals,
operations
and
management
to
include
more
than
4200
intelligent
transportation
system
or
its
devices,
and
those
include
traffic
detectors,
traffic
signals
and
cameras
and
the
its
devices
allow
us
to
monitor
traffic,
mitigate
congestion
and
maximize
efficiency
on
the
valley
roadways.
I
Additionally,
there
are
several
roadway
technology
projects
that
are
underway
or
will
be
underway
shortly
then
include
special
event,
coordination,
adaptive
signal
control,
technology,
active
traffic
management
and
smart
work
zones
and
there's
some
really
great
stuff.
That's
coming
out
of
this
fast
division,
using
technology
again
to
really
to
mitigate
congestion,
really
maximize
the
efficiency
of
all
of
our
roadways.
Here
in
southern
nevada,
and
as
I
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
briefly
provide
a
just
a
brief
look
into
our
protease
as
we
head
into
this
new
year
as
an
agency.
I
We
continue
to
seek
and
apply
for
grant
opportunities
to
leverage
federal
dollars
to
help
transportation
and
highway
infrastructure
projects
here
in
southern
nevada.
It
was
a
big
deal,
a
big
call
to
action
for
our
grants
team
to
to
really
streamline
the
process,
and
they
did
a
really
good
job.
I
This
year
we
actually
applied
by
more
than
50
grants
from
a
year-over-year
perspective
and
last
year
because
of
their
efforts,
we
saw
an
additional
10
million
dollars,
come
to
the
rotc
based
on
again
federal
dollars,
we're
going
to
continue
to
collaborate
with
our
agency
partners
with
unlv
community
stakeholders
to
pursue
federal
grants
to
improve
mobility
here
in
southern
nevada
and
really
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
our
fair
share
of
federal
dollars.
I
As
part
of
our
innovative
priorities,
we
are
seeking
bill
language
to
amend,
nrs,
277a
and
377a,
and
it
prohibits
counties
of
populations
more
than
700
000,
to
provide
on-caller,
on-demand
transit
service,
and
that
known
as
microtransit
microtransit
offers
flexible,
routing
and
scheduling.
I
think,
having
microtransit
in
our
mobility
toolbox
would
allow
us
to
enhance
the
customer
experience
and
potentially
provide
service
efficiencies.
I
This
bill
will
allow
for
potential
pilots
in
areas
that
either
don't
have
transit
service
right
now
or
areas
that
may
need
a
different
type
of
transit
service.
We
socialize
this
bill
with
the
southern
nevada
forum.
Many
of
you
know
that
already
the
bill
will
be
presented
to
both
the
assembly
and
senate
senate
growth
and
infrastructure
committee.
I
We
also
partnered
with
lyft
to
provide
cost
efficient
mobility
solutions
through
our
pair
transit
ride
on
demand
program
and
the
workforce
mobility
program
that
enables
employers
to
employ
to
support
first
mile
last
month,
solutions
for
their
employees
and,
to
date,
those
efforts.
Those
programs
have
saved
the
rtc
over
two
million
dollars
and
so
any
time
that
we
can
look
to
technology
or
another
in
a
way
innovative
way
and
look
at
how
we
do
business
and
we
save
money.
I
We
have
a
chance
to
to
take
those
savings
and
and
apply
that
to
our
local
market
in
support
of
our
of
our
local
residents
and
then.
Finally,
we
know
that
sustainability
and
addressing
climate
change
is
a
big
deal.
It's
a
it's
a
federal
state
priority
nationally
and
in
nevada.
The
transportation
sector
is
now
the
largest
contributor
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
though
important
to
note
a
single
occupant
vehicle
is
the
largest
emitter
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
I
In
this
sector
we
began
transitioning
our
fleet
from
diesel
to
compress
natural
gas
back
in
2007,
and
today
our
inventory
of
almost
over
800
buses
we're
at
about
90
of
compressed
natural
gas.
We
are
in
the
process
of
going
out
for
an
rfp
we're
going
to
be
introducing
renewable
natural
gas
into
our
pipeline
in
a
partnership
with
southwest
gas,
and
then
we
received
a
3.8
million
dollar
grant
from
the
us
department
of
transportation
to
deploy
two
hydrogen
fuel
snow
buses
and
install
the
necessary
hydrogen
fueling
infrastructure.
I
We
really
look
forward
to
the
community
to
evolve
our
fleet
again
from
diesel
to
cng
to
potentially
electric
it's
anticipated
this.
The
hydrogen
fuel
cell
electric
buses
will
hit
our
roadways
in
2022
and
then
we've
also
started
the
development
of
a
sustainability
plan
for
our
own
organization
staff.
We've
conducted
research
on
peer
agency
sustainability
plans
to
identify
approaches,
reporting
protocols
and
performance
metrics.
So
the
idea
is
this
plan
will
help
our
organization
define
and
advance
sustainability
through
action
items
in
baseline
performance
indicators,
and
that
is
that
is
my
presentation.
B
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
miss
maynard
for
the
presentation
disclosure
up
until
about
a
month
and
a
couple
weeks
ago,
this
movie
was
my
boss.
So
so
I
I
wanted
to
to
make
sure
that
that
my
question
was
not
seen
as
bias
in
that
in
that
realm.
But
what
one
thing
I
I
this
is
from
a
constituent
point
of
view
with
all
the
construction
that's
going
on
on
the
roadways
both
current
and
planned,
especially
projects
that
are
on
maybe
the
arterial
streets
or
on
the
freeways.
K
I
Mj
made
it
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question,
and
and
by
the
way
it
was
a
it
was.
It
was
great
to
be
assemblyman
levitt's
boss,
so
it's
we
certainly
are
using.
We
we
back
back
in
2012,
we
started
something
called
the
orange
count.
Seen
the
orange
come
partnered
with
waze,
so
that
drivers
that
were
using
that
application
would
be
alerted
to
zones
concluding
where
elaine's
closed,
bios
clones.
That
is
still
happening
today.
I
I
Smart
work
zones
where,
by
way
of
thousands
of
dashboard
cameras
and
artificial
intelligence-
and
we
now
have
a
way
to
go
to
look
in
real
time
by
way
of
this
mobile
application
or
website,
and
you
can
actually
see
where
the
construction
zones
are
happening
and
that's
important
to
note,
because
when
a
project
is
awarded
and
the
general
contractor
then
contracted
the
barricade
company,
they
have
to
follow
a
permitting
standard
by
various
jurisdictions
and,
if
they're
not
so,
for
example,
maybe
they're
only
supposed
to
close
a
lane
from
nine
to
five
midday
to
friday.
I
The
jurisdictions
now
have
a
chance
to
go
in
and
take
a
look
at
if,
in
fact,
that
is
happening.
What's
what's
noteworthy
is
that
the
pilot
was
just
occurring
in
the
city
of
las
vegas.
I
Once
our
board
approves
from
a
pilot
to
a
program,
this
technology
will
be
available
valley-wide
for
your
constituents
as
well.
B
J
It
is
wonderful
to
see
you
miss
maynard.
She
is
actually
still
my
boss.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
am
concerned
about.
B
J
And
would
like
you
to
give
a
little
bit
more
background
on.
Is
this
micro
transit
technology
piece?
Could
you
please
speak
to
us
about
how,
where
you
are
in
this
process,
as
far
as
the
study
or
implementation
of
it,
so
we
can
get
a
better
idea.
I
I
So
it's
a
great
question
microtransit,
as
many
of
you
may
not
be
aware
that
we
actually
had
a
micro
transit
pilot
in
the
strip
area
strip,
las
vegas
strip
and
downtown
area
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
found
that
to
be
the
great
just
a
great
location,
just
the
the
density
of
customers
and
actually
we
discontinued
the
pilot
at
the
six
month
period
because
we
found
out
through
the
nta
that
we
really
couldn't
operate
the
microtransit
system.
I
The
trends
for
that
study
proved
that
they
were
on
the
right
track,
but
I
think
you
may
be
referring
to,
and
I
think
it's
a
very
valid
point
I
think
microtransit
is
that
is
it
just?
Are
you
taking
resources
and
extending
it
to
areas?
Where
does
it
make
sense?
Is
it
what
kind
of
first
model?
Last
week
connection,
I
think
there
right
now
the
artist
has
been
awarded
a
federal
grant
called
the
hope
grant
and
it's
important
to
note.
This
is
a
study.
I
It's
it's
a
study
to
look
at
areas
of
the
las
vegas
valley
that
are,
for
example,
food
deserts
and
are
people
having
a
tough
time
connecting
from
a
food
desert
to
where
they,
where
they
could
live
and
play,
and
it's-
and
I
will
tell
you,
though,
that
it
is
just
a
study:
it's
not
providing
capital
funds
for
microtransacting.
I
That
study
may
show
that
in
those
areas
where
there
are
food,
deserts
and
folks
have
a
tough
time
connecting
to
those
services,
there's
already
quite
a
bit
of
transit
there,
and
maybe
that's
not
the
right
solution.
So
I
think
at
this
point
we're
open
to
looking
at
microtransit
in
areas
where
it
may
it
may
is
it
a
first
small,
last-minute
connection
to
a
transit
center,
it's
a
connecting
transit
to
areas
where
you
know
think
of
an
after-school
program
where
we're
some
kind
of
shuttle.
I
I
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
possibilities
that
microtransit
will
work,
but
I
I
want
the
community
to
be
assured
that
equity
is
going
to
be
at
the
root
of
all.
We
do
and
we're
going
to
ensure
that
whatever
micro
transit
pilot
we
are
allowed
to
to
look
at
every
thing
that
we
do
in
transit
is
going
to
start
with
the
equity
question.
I
J
Thank
you
miss
maynard
chair,
monroe
mourinho.
May
I
have
a
follow-up
question
please,
of
course
thank
you.
J
One
of
the
things
that
I
heard
from
the
swallow
in
her
presentation
was
the
increase
in
drive
miles
that
we
still
see
every
time.
There's
a
development
we're
seeing
increases
in
in
rider
driven
miles.
What
is
the
rtc's
plan
or
process
for
trying
to
get
people?
J
I
mean
it's
tough
with
covid,
but
if
we're
thinking
post
covered
behavior
about
increasing
our
ride,
sharing,
maybe
using
vans
or
other
things
to
cut
down
on
vehicle
miles,
driven
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
one
of
course
get
people
off
the
roads
and
to
reduce
carbon
monoxide,
and
I'm
just
concerned
that
we're
we're.
We
might
be
missing
some
opportunities
and
I'd
like
to
hear
what
your
thoughts
are
on
that
and.
I
Great
question:
thank
you
for
the
question
mj
for
the
record.
Well,
I
agree
with
you.
First
and
foremost,
the
way
to
reduce
vehicles.
Travel
is
is
to
have
another
option
for
those
folks
that
are
driving
your
car,
and
that
means
that
your
transit
system
has
to
be
able
to
compete
in
some
way
with
that
single
occupant
vehicle
trip.
Unfortunately,
you
know
we
received
three
eighths
of
a
percent
of
public
support.
If
you
will
for
transit
here
in
southern
nevada,
we
run
very
lean.
I
It's
very
it's
a
very
skinny
model
compared
to
our
peers
in
the
rest
of
the
united
states,
and
so
we
do
look
for
opportunities
to
think
individually
to
think
creatively
I'll.
I
will
tell
you
that
from
fiscal
12
through
fiscal
19,
we
added
29
more
service
hours
into
our
service,
but
we
didn't
do
that
by
scrolling
the
system,
because
there
was
such
a
need
for
more
frequency
in
the
urban
park,
the
folks
that
rely
on
transit.
I
They
are
the
ones
that
should
have
the
least
harm,
and
so
whether
it's
looking
at
a
partnership
with
lyft
to
provide
service
that
will
save
the
agency
money
when
we
save
the
agency
money,
we
can
use
that
funding
again
for
areas
of
our
value
that
again,
folks
that
have
no
other
options
to
move
about.
There
can
be
accepted
transit,
but
I
think
it
at
some
point:
public
transit
is
part
of
the
sustainability
solution
and
ensuring
that
public
transit
is
is
such
that
people
want
to
write
it.
I
It's
frequent,
it
takes
them
where
they
need
to
go,
that's
where
we
need
to
get
to,
and
I
think
we
have
to.
We
have
to
ensure
that
we
may
remain
relevant
and
we're
always
following
what
the
consumer
demanded.
You
know
we
we
do
interviews,
we
have
free,
wi-fi
or
buses,
and
we
ask
them
questions
every
every
other
month.
Just
how
are
we
doing
and
are
you
taking
transit
to
work?
I
I
think,
whatever
decision
we
decide
to
do
in
public
transit,
the
first
thing
we
need
to
do
is
get
with
our
community
and
find
out
what
they
need
and
find
out
the
key,
and
we,
you
know,
certainly
have
done
that
with
the
onboard
process.
We
understand
how
long
term
future
mobility
looks
like,
but
whatever
we
do,
whether
it's
implementing
smaller
buses
entering
a
micro
transit
pilot
partnering
with
another
technology
company,
we're
always
good
at
we're,
always
going
to
ask
the
customer.
H
Oh,
I
feel
like
I
have
to
get
up
out
of
my
chair
to
to
have
this
question.
Thank
you.
So
my
question
is
regarding
the
data
related
to
showing
people
where
construction
activity
exists
in
the
in
the
bay
in
the
area
and
in
the
bay
area.
It
just
shows
up
on
google,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
contract
service
that
they
have
with
google
or
if
google
is
just
so
integrated
within
the
bay
area
that
they
just
have.
You
know,
have
enough
people
around.
H
They
know,
but
I'm
curious
if
you
guys
looked
into
that
as
well.
It's
just
so
so
universal
to
use
google
maps
and
then
the
other
question
I
had
related
to
data.
If
you
don't
mind
is
I
know
when
I
use
lyft
in
las
vegas,
I
often
do
the
ride
sharing
option,
which
means
we
have
more
than
one
trip
in
the
same
vehicle
and
I'm
wondering
if
they
have
data
that
they
could
share
with
you.
That
would
show
you
where
hot
spots
are
for
how
or
where
people
are
asking
for
that
service.
I
Great
questions,
thank
you
for
them,
mj,
for
the
record,
so
I'll
have
to
check.
I
don't
know
at
the
top
of
my
head.
If
to
have
google
place
your
construction
zones
on
their
platform
that,
if
that
is
something
that
is
just
part
of
what
they
do,
if
there's
a
cost
of
that,
what
you
are
describing
is
exactly
what
we
have
with
our
apprenticeship
ways,
and
we
know
we
have
a
lot
of
usage,
but
I
think
to
your
point,
a
lot
of
folks
with
their
their
apple
phone.
I
The
google
maps
is
right
there
and
they
do.
They
do
refer
to
google
maps,
so
I
will
get
back
to
you
on
that
particular
question.
As
far
as
data
from
the
tnc's,
that's
so
we
we
receive
no
data
from
the
rtcs,
except
for
the
the,
for
example,
the
workforce
mobility
plan
that
we
have.
We
know
how
many
folks
took
a
trip
from
our
last
bus
stop
to
the
front
door
of
their
place
of
employment.
I
They
don't
share
a
lot
of
data.
The
data
that
they
do
share,
I
think,
goes
to
the
nta,
and
so
we
don't.
I
really
can't
answer
the
question,
because
that's
that's
not
a
piece
of
information
that
we
are.
We
have
access
to.
H
That's
really
good
to
know,
because
you
did
say
that
you
have
contracting
with
them
to
provide
riot
sharing
service
right.
So
it's
an
interesting
piece.
I
wonder
if
we
could
kind
of
fill
that
gap
in
and
see
if
they
would
share
some
of
that
data
and
then,
with
regard
to
the
additional
piece
getting
back
to
us
on
google,
would
you
just
share
that
with
staff
to
make
sure
we
all
have
access
to
that?
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
peters,
for
those
questions
and
I'd
like
to
thank
our
presenters
for
the
overview
and
that
we
have
no
more
questions
in
cues.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
the
information
today
and
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
day.
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Let
me
get
this.

Good
afternoon,

today,
are

amy
cummings
and
director
of
public
transportation.
Mark
maloney,
we're
very
appreciative
of
and
thankful
for
this
opportunity,
and
particularly
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Your
patience
and
attention
is
much
appreciated.
L
This
afternoon,
I'd
like
to
familiarize
the
committee
with
our
organization
demonstrate
how
we
hope
to
be
a
significant
supporter
of
the
legislators.
Effort
to
address
critical
infrastructure
needs
actions
to
address
climate
change
and
strategies
to
ensure
we
have
a
balanced
transportation
system
to
benefit
our
citizens
in
the
state
of
nevada.
L
Our
organization
has
been
in
existence
for
about
56
years
and
I
can
proudly
say
we're
an
organization
that
models
regional
cooperation,
solving
community
problems.
We
have
five
local
officials
that
provide
our
oversight
policy
direction
and
director
swallow
is
a
ex-officio
member.
L
So
much
like
rtc
southern
nevada,
we
provide
mpo
metropolitan
planning,
organization,
services,
public
transportation
and
engineering
and
construction,
as
director
maynard
pointed
out
that
we
we
actually
are
unique
nationally.
There
aren't
very
many
organizations
that
have
all
three
of
these
functions,
so
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
create
a
unity
of
purpose
and
assure
maximum
response
in
our
coordinated
response
to
transportation
issues.
L
We
all
know
that
the
transportation
sector
of
our
economy
is
a
significant
contributor
to
greenhouse
gases
and,
as
we
move
to
develop
strategies
and
actions
to
address
climate
change,
I
would
offer
that
rtc
washoe
has
been,
and
will
continue
to
be,
a
significant
player
in
the
effort
to
reduce
the
impact
of
automobiles
in
our
environment,
and
we
are
well
suited
to
the
system
addressed
in
climate
change.
L
L
L
L
It's
fixed
in
the
sense
of
capital
required
to
construct
a
significant
and
not
easily
replicated
this
route
in
combination
with
the
fourth
and
crater
represents
an
investment
both
federally
and
locally
of
about
150
million
dollars.
So,
as
I
just
said,
this
is
very
difficult
to
replicate
this
in
our
community
in
other
locations.
L
What
what
is
needed
is
to
effectively
address
climate
change
and
optimize
significant
public
investment
in
our
brt
system
is
to
find
ways
to
bring
people
to
the
system.
In
other
words,
as
I
pointed
out,
we
have
a
very
large
investment
and
we
need
to
find
ways
to
bring
people
to
it.
It's
very
difficult
to
move
fixture
out
to
people.
We
need
to
figure
out
strategies
as
we
deal
with
our
affordable
housing
crisis,
to
bring
people
closer
in
to
ride
our
transit.
L
L
Sorry
gotta,
of
course,
they're.
Okay,
that
means
that
bringing
traditional
fixed
route
to
people
is
posh
prohibition
in
the
long
term,
and
it's
also
highly
non-productive.
The
method
of
public
transit
has
the
most
potential
to
connect.
People
need
in
our
communities
by
using
microtransit
we've
implemented
what
we
call
our
flex
ride
service,
which
marries
mass
transit
side
of
public
transit
with
the
demand-based
desires
of
the
public
to
write
a
more
scalable
response.
L
The
new
method
has
shown
success
in
several
sub-areas,
and
our
community
has
learned
how
we
can
integrate
this
into
our
fixed
route
system
to
meet
people's
demands.
I
would
point
out
that
not
every
place
is
successful
at
microtransit
is
what
we're
finding,
but
it
gives
us
a
tool
to
really
test
our
community.
L
L
L
In
addition
to
answering
the
climate
change
challenge,
we
also
are
actively
pursuing
actions
to
address
equity
and
environmental
justice.
We're
doing
this
by
actively
targeting
some
of
our
established
neighborhoods,
where
we
work
on
improvements
to
benefit
safety,
particularly
with
for
residents
by
adding
sidewalks,
crosswalks
and
other
pedestrian
enhancements.
L
L
This
past
year,
federal
support
has
increased
significantly,
particularly
in
the
area
of
funding
operations
for
transit
prior
to
the
pandemic.
The
federal
government
did
not
fund
operations
and
solely
kept
their
contributions
to
capital
and
bus
maintenance,
so
this
particular
change
in
funding
is
critical
to
us
and
what
the
future
holds
will
be
telling
our
ability
to
meet
the
transit
needs
of
our
community.
L
As
far
as
how
we
spend
our
resources,
you
can
see
from
this
graphic
that
most
is
spent
on
transit
and
roadway
preservation
and
mobility.
With
a
smaller
position.
This
portion
two
roadway
projects
in
looking
at
our
major
funding
source
fuel
tax.
It
is
important
to
acknowledge
the
foresight
of
the
legislature,
starting
in
2003
and
the
desire
of
the
voters
to
approve
an
indexing
of
our
fuel
tax.
This
indexing
has
allowed
us
to
maintain
our
ability
to
fund
our
system
in
response
to
ever
increasing
prices.
L
I
might
point
out,
however,
that
the
pandemic
is
exposed.
Much
like
you
heard
from
director
swallow
the
risk
of
this
funding
source
for
the
first
time
since
the
indexing
was
implemented.
Fuel
tax
has
gone
down
year
over
year.
In
absolute
terms,
and
in
fact,
this
past
year
we
were
six
million
under
budget
from
what
we
had
projected
based
on
tax
revenues,
revenues
that
we
had
received,
which
results
in
reducing.
Of
course,
our
ability
to
respond
to
our
community
needs
as
far
as
impact
on
local
state
economy.
L
I
prepared
this
slide
to
show
in
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2020
that
we
directly
resulted
in
our
our
expenditures
directly
resulted
in
about
1700
jobs
in
our
community.
L
And
the
last
point
I
wanted
to
mention
is
the
important
work
of
scr3
subcommittee,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
chair
for
allowing
us
to
participate
in
that
effort,
and
we
are
looking
very
much
forward
to
working
with
the
committee
to
see
how
we
can
address
what
is
a
pending
and
critical
need
to
talk
about
how
we
replace
fuel
tax.
So
with
that,
I
will
conclude
and
we
will
be
available
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
thank
you
for
your
work
and
the
interim.
With
these
conversations
we
tried
to
get
through
that
in
the
interim
on
the
energy
committee.
I
know
that
there's
a
few
people
that
have
a
question,
I'm
not
sure.
If
assemblywoman
summers
armstrong
wants
to
go
first
or
assemblywoman
peters,
but
either
one
of
you.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
chandra.
Summers:
armstrong
assembly
district
six.
I
thank
you,
mr
thomas,
for
your
presentation
and
I
just
sort
of
cued
in
on
something
that
you
said,
which
was
that
you
had
received
federal
funding
and
you
were
able
to
use
it
for
operations.
Did
I
hear
that
properly.
J
Okay,
if
I
might
follow
up
with
that
I'd
like
to
know,
do
you
believe
that
this
is
a
trend
that
will
continue,
or
is
this
just
during
this
pandemic?
Well,.
L
It
looks
like
the
most
recent
conversations
at
the
federal
level
they're
going
to
continue
to
provide
money
for
operations,
so
we
have
our
fingers
crossed.
But
you
know
it's
it's
a
question.
I
can't
really
answer
very
well
women
because
you
know
really
is
depending
on
the
federal
budget
and
what
they
do
in
dc,
but
certainly
we're
lobbying
to
keep
that
money
available
for
operations.
L
So
I
think
assemblywoman
summer
are
strong.
The
the
biggest
benefit
is
going
to
be
that
it'll
keep
us
from
having
to
reduce
service
and
actually
help
us
get
people
on
the
bus,
because
you
know
we
all
know
that
it's
a
very
demand
oriented
customer
that
we
have
right
now
and
the
challenge
with
transit
is
we
have
to
get
people
to
change
their
behaviors
and
patterns
to
use
what
is
a
fixed
system
and
so
to
the
extent
we
can
get
this
kind
of
money.
L
It
allows
us
to
run
our
buses
more
frequently,
which
means
we
get
more
people
to
ride
the
bus.
So
I
would
say,
that's
probably
the
best
benefit
biggest
benefit.
It'll
allow
us
to
run,
for
example,
10
minute
routes
which
will
increase
people
riding
the
bus,
and
if
we
lose
that
money,
then
our
answer
is
to
cut
back
much
like
what
had
to
happen
in
rtc
southern
nevada,
where
the
service
is
reduced,
which
then
results
in
less
people
being
able
to
make
those
critical
trips,
as
well
as
the
productivity
of
those
routes,
go
down.
H
Yes,
please
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
because
I
feel
like
maybe
I
missed
it.
Did
you
say
that
those
federal
dollars
were
related
to
coveted
funds
or
were
those
separate
from
the
covet
dollars
that
came
into
the
state.
L
So
we
got
a
direct
allocation
that
was
tied
to
the
pandemic,
but
it
wasn't
your,
I
think,
what
most
people
think
of
as
cares
covet
money.
It
was
specific
money
that
went
to
fta
which
could
be
then
allocated
to
based
on
a
formula
that
was
predetermined
to
the
local
transit
agencies
of
a
certain
size.
So
it
was
cares
money,
but
it's
not
the
cares
money.
They
went
to
the
state
or
local
government.
H
Great
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
and
then
my
other
question
is
more
of
a
follow-up
question.
If
you
don't
mind,
following
up
with
staff
on
this
slide,
that
shows
your
greenhouse
gas
emission
reductions,
it's
only
for
2020
and
I'm
just
curious
what
that
looks
like
compared
to
maybe
2019
if
you
were
collecting
that
data.
So
if
you
have
that,
would
you
mind
compiling
it
and
sending
it
to
staff
to
distribute?
Please
be
glad
to.
L
H
A
All
right
members
that
brings
us
to
our
last
item
on
our
agenda
and
that
will
be
public
comment
so
at
this
time
I'll
give
our
bps
staff
an
opportunity
to
see.
If
we
have
anyone
waiting
for
public
comment.
As
a
reminder,
you
can
register
online
to
either
speak
to
the
committee
by
phone
on
the
webpage
for
today's
meeting
on
nellis
located
on
a
legislative
website,
you
will
see
buttons
allowing
you
to
submit
your
online
opinions
or
participate
in
writing
or
by
phone.
B
D
D
They
have
been
absolutely
phenomenal
in
working
with
my
folks
through
the
pandemic
in
nevada,
92
percent
of
all
our
freight
is
delivered
by
truck
and
while
everything
was
closed,
while
we
had
rest
stops,
closing
around
the
country,
ndot
kept
them
open.
Dmv
still
had
their
operations
available
for
our
people
to
be
able
to
get
their
permits
to
be
able
to
get
their
folks
in
to
get
driver's
licenses
and
to
be
able
to
continue
truck
driving
schools
operating.
D
A
A
Awesome
well
well.
That
concludes
this
meeting.
For
today,
I'd
like
to
thank
our
presenters,
the
committee,
our
broadcast
staff
and
the
members
of
the
public
who
have
joined
us
virtually
here
today.
Our
next
meeting
of
the
assembly
committee
on
growth
and
infrastructure
will
be
thursday
february
11
at
1
30..
We
will
have
several
presentations
from
agencies
involved
in
nevada's
transportation
and
energy
sectors,
and
with
that
this
meeting
is
adjourned,
and
I
wish
you
all
a
wonderful
day.
