A
E
Yes,
hello,
my
name
is
kimberly
glass.
I
have
lived
in
redone
nevada
since
2014..
E
I
have
been
disabled
since
first
and
use
rtc
access
carrier
transit.
My
public
comment
is
specifically
regarding
this
service
for
elderly
and
disabled
consumers.
E
I
have
a
lot
to
say,
and
it's
gonna
take
more
than
three
minutes,
so
I
offer
my
contact
information.
I
sent
it
to
the
email
I
was
invited
to.
If
anybody
wants
to
further
discuss
the
main
thing
is
last
april
2021
I
suffered
a
very
severe
accident
due
to
access
not
providing
door-to-door
service
like
they
state
they
do,
and
I
can
tell
you
they
do
not,
along
with
a
lot
of
other
untruths
or
falsifications
the
way
they
handle
their
consumers
is
borderline,
inhumane
and
inconsiderate.
E
Upper
management
and
people
at
rtc
seem
to
care
about
the
issues
that
me
and
my
peers
are
facing.
It
is
actually
kind
of
a
liability
because
some
of
the
individuals
have
had
accidents
and
incidents
like
mine.
I
fractured
numerous
bones
last
april
and
I
still
suffer
consequences.
E
I
rely
on
access
to
get
too
many
things,
doctor's
appointment
primarily
and
some
of
the
times.
I
don't
even
make
it
on
time,
and
I
know
I'm
not
the
only
one
that
faces
that,
so
I
feel
there's
a
lot
to
be
discussed
in
regards
to
this
service.
I
feel
that
we
should
have
better
services
and
have
someone
hear
our
voices
and
the
concerns
that
we
have
as
consumers
it's
money
motivated,
and
I
don't
feel
that
they
take
into
account
the
consumers
that
they
serve.
E
So
I
will
close
with
that
and
I
hope
that
I
get
contacted
by
a
few
of
the
people
interested
in
maybe
hearing
more.
I
have
worked
in
transportation
for
many
years
and
I've
offered
my
help
in
training,
their
drivers
for
disability
awareness,
and
I
have
not
yet
been
taken
up
on
that
and
I
offered
the
service
for
free
so
that
just
further
attests
to,
I
feel
the
lack
of
care
in
serving
the
community
in
a
humane
manner.
E
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
look
forward
to
having
further
discussion
about
this
issue.
E
E
I
represent
the
disability,
aware:
disability,
peer
action
coalition
and
kimberly
glass.
The
prior
caller
is
part
of
our
our
peers,
and
I
do
I
echo
a
lot
of
what
she
said
agree
of
100
percent.
E
It
says
on
the
agenda
on
their
presentation
for
rtc
that
they're
door-to-door,
when,
in
fact
under
regulations,
if
there's
a
step
going
up,
even
a
curb,
the
drivers
are
not
allowed
to
take
that
step
to
open
a
door
to
a
customer
who
is
not
an
ambulatory
or
or
maybe
ambulatory
or
not,
but
they're
not
allowed
to
do
that.
E
So
it's
kind
of
you
know
oxymoron,
because
there
are
steps
going
down
the
bus,
so
I
don't
know
how
they
do
that
they
were
required
to
do
that
and
also
they
are
not
allowed
to
help
a
lot
of
disabled
folks
and
people
who
are
elderly
using
the
pair
transit,
and
I
sat
there
and
I
hear
them
because
I'm
truly
blind,
I
hear
them,
they
don't
allow.
E
The
drivers
are
not
allowed
to
help
a
woman
with
or
a
man
with,
their
groceries,
which
is
kind
of
you
know,
defeats
the
purpose
of
paratransit
and
when,
before
strike
started
or
during
the
strike,
a
lot
of
people
with
disability.
E
Chairwoman
monreno
were
left
out
for
three
hours
waiting
for
the
bus
and
we
found
out.
The
reason
is
because
rpc
had
our
access,
ada
train
the
driver,
go
on
flex
and
and
and
serve
the
general
public,
while
disabled
people
who
goes
through
a
certification,
we're
left
in
the
heat
or
the
cold
and
and
we're
late
for
their
dialysis,
some
of
them
set
in
their
diapers.
E
E
E
E
We
do
want
to
bring
our
kids
to
school
work
and
our
doctor's
appointment
right
now
with
the
school
district,
no
buses,
some
of
us
are
stuck
and
and
administrator
bill.
Thomas
eliminated
some
of
the
route.
So
now
the
paratransit
cannot
service
those
areas
because
the
rtc
right
are
not
are
not
serving
those
areas,
so
that
really
leaves
us
in
a
bind.
E
So
please
hear
us:
there
are
arp
money
out
there,
use
them
and
help
this
commit
committee
community,
be
more
inclusive
and
accessible
and
adequate
right
for
all,
because
we
do
matter,
we
do
matter
as
a
person
with
disability
because
we're
trying
our
best.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
god
bless
you
guys
and
appreciate
all
you
do.
Chairwoman
in
your
committee
take
care.
E
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
as
I
said,
we
will
have
another
section
for
public
comment
at
the
end
of
today's
meeting,
so
we
will
close
that
agenda
item
and
we'll
move
on
to
the
third
agenda
item
on
our
agenda.
For
today,
which
is
the
approval
of
the
minutes
members.
D
A
A
We're
going
to
take
things
just
a
little
out
of
order
due
to
some
scheduling
conflicts.
Today
I
apologize,
but
we
do
try
to
accommodate.
We
know
that
everyone
has
a
work
schedule
and
sometimes
our
schedule
will
conflict
with
that.
So,
instead
of
going
to
agenda
item
four,
we
are
going
to
jump
to
agenda
item
seven
and
for
those
of
you
that
came
before
seven,
I
apologize
be
patient
with
me
today,
as
we
get
through
this
we're
our
agenda
item.
A
Seven
is
a
presentation
on
the
motor
carrier,
transportation
and
safety
in
nevada
commercial
vehicles,
as
we
all
know,
play
an
important
role
in
the
nation.
We've
seen
the
importance
as
we
go
through
this
pandemic
and
coming
out
of
this
pandemic
situation
and
it's
important
for
nevada's
economy.
A
Large
trucks
move
billions
of
tons
of
goods
each
year,
the
daily
uninterrupted
flow
of
goods
and
services
and
passengers
throughout
the
country
and
our
state
are
made
possible
by
the
safe
and
efficient
delivery
of
goods,
services
and
passengers.
Today's
presentation
will
provide
more
information
on
motor
carrier,
transportation
and
safety.
We
have
mr
paul
enos,
the
chief
executive
officer
with
the
nevada,
trucking
association,
and
I
believe
mr
bill
fins
miller
with
the
federal
motor
carrier
administration,
the
u.s
department
of
transportation
and
they'll
make
the
presentation
so.
Gentlemen.
H
Madame
chair
very
nice
to
see
you
on
zoom
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
I
am
paul
enos,
I'm
ceo
of
the
nevada,
trucking
association,
and
very
pleased
to
be
before
you
today,
virtually
presenting
with
my
good
friend,
and
you
know,
somebody
who
I
like
to
call
my
partner
in
safety
here
in
the
state
of
nevada
bill
bensmiller,
who
is
the
administrator
for
nevada,
federal
motor
carrier
safety
administration,
he's
going
to
be
presenting
some
some
data
and
some
statistics,
as
we
move
forward
through
this.
H
So
real
quick
just
want
to
give
everybody
kind
of
a
quick
reminder
of
the
trucking
industry
in
nevada.
Madam
chair,
I
really
appreciate
you
your
your
opening
about
the
industry.
I
love
it
when
there's
other
people
talking
about
the
essentiality
of
our
industry
and
you
know,
unfortunately,
I
think
that
it
has
come
to
the
forefront
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
not
because
we're
doing
things
right,
but
because
of
world
events
that
put
a
lot
of
challenges
on
our
supply
chain
here
in
the
silver
state.
H
H
H
Most
of
our
most
of
our
drivers
are
men.
92
percent
of
our
drivers
are
men,
but
we
have
made
some
strides
of
late.
We
have
doubled
the
amount
of
female
drivers
we
have
had
over
the
last
decade.
We
were
four
we're
now
at
eight
percent,
so
we're
we're
making
some
progress
there
and
you
know
for
us,
as
an
industry,
doesn't
matter
what
you
look
like.
What
your
background
is
where
you're
born
what
your
religion
or
sexual
orientation
is
as
long
as
you're.
H
Coming
with
that
attitude
of
safety,
that's
important,
and
it
is
interesting
we
do
find,
especially
in
the
younger
drivers.
Some
of
our
women
drivers
are
the
safest
ones
out
there
on
the
road.
They
they
don't
take
a
lot
of
unnecessary
risks.
So
we
are
really
trying
to
do
some
more
outreach
to
get
more
female
drivers
in
the
cab,
something
that's
very
important
to
us.
Where
are
we
traveling
we're
we're
sharing
the
roads
with
everybody
with
everybody
else,
all
motorists
in
the
state
of
nevada
on
the
47
731
miles
of
public
road?
H
We
can
do
a
lot
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
our
trucks
are
safe
and
our
drivers
are
safe,
but
when
we're
out
there
on
the
road,
just
like
all
of
us,
we
can,
you
know,
make
sure
we're
not
distracted.
Make
sure
that
our
that
our
tires
are
are
full
and
that
our
vehicles
operating
properly,
but
we
don't
always
have
control
of
what
everybody
else
does
out
there
on
the
road
and
that's
one
of
the
that's
one
of
the
issues
that
we
have
in
our
industry
here
in
nevada.
H
We
have
seen
this
number
go
up
fairly
tremendously.
Over
the
last
few
years,
we
have
7602
carriers
in
the
silver
state,
and
this
this
data
comes
from
the
federal
motor
carrier
safety
administration.
This
is
every
entity
with
the
dot
number
about
31
000
little
over
31
000
drivers
and
over
28
000
vehicles
that
are
registered
here
in
nevada.
H
Most
of
those
folks
are
crossing
state
lines.
48
117
are
crossing
state
lines,
2615
just
stay
within
just
within
the
the
state
of
nevada,
and
you
know
in
terms
of
what
do
those
operations
look
like
trucking
companies
here
in
nevada
are
overwhelmingly
small,
as
you
can
see
in
this
graph,
the
lion's
share
is
under
10
trucks.
4033,
I
think
we're
about
it's.
Almost
60
percent
of
our
trucking
companies
in
nevada
are
one
truck
operators,
so
very
very
small
operations
and
most
of
those
folks
are
for
higher.
H
We
do
have
220
that
just
haul
their
own
freight.
So
that's
you
know
if
you
think
about
that.
That's
mcdonald's,
hauling
for
mcdonald's
or
walmart
hauling
for
walmart,
or
you
know,
construction
company,
that
is,
that
is
hauling
their
own
product
and
in
terms
of
the
type
of
the
the
type
of
carriers,
and
you
know
you
can
have
some
different
classifications.
H
You
know
most
of
our
folks
here
in
nevada
hall,
for
eight
seventy
three
hundred
fifty
two.
We
have
a
few
passenger
operations
250
and
in
terms
of
the
big
buses
17
with
55
household,
good
movers
that
are
registered
right
here
in
the
silver
state
and
here's
that
five
year
trend
that
I
was
talking
about
in
2017.
We
are
just
under
5
000
motor
carriers.
H
You
have
seen
this
proliferate
over
the
course
of
a
year
and
we'll
talk
a
little
later
about
where
we're
seeing
some
of
this
proliferation.
You
know
what
what
types
of
trucking
operations
we
are
seeing.
We
are
seeing
spring
up
and
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
of
a
a
safety
gap
that
we
have
that
we
have.
Unfortunately,
you
know
in
terms
of
fleet
size
once
again,
this
just
shows
you
those
power
units,
that's
that
4537.
H
Those
are
the
carriers
with
only
one
truck
operation.
So
in
nevada,
the
trucking
industry,
while
we
have
very
big
carriers
that
operating
here
most
of
our
folks
are
small
one
thing
that
all
our
folks
have
in
common
is
every
day
when
they
get
out
and
they
get
into
that
truck
they're
doing
a
a
checklist.
They
are
they're.
H
Looking
at
the
truck
making
sure
that
everything
is
functioning
properly,
you
have
what
they
call
a
daily
vehicle
inspection
report,
so
they're
looking
at
the
air
compressor
the
air
lines,
the
brakes,
the
the
batteries,
the
steering
and
the
windshield
wipers.
So
just
like
a
pilot
will
sit
down
before
before
they
decide
to
take
that.
Take
that
plane
up
into
the
air.
A
truck
driver
is
doing
the
same
thing
before
they
go
out
there
on
the
road,
and
that's
really
one
of
the
one
of
the
best
things
we
can
do
for
safety.
H
You
know
this
kind
of
technology
provides
that
safety
cushion
for
our
drivers.
Cameras
cameras
have
become
extremely
important
for
our
industry
in
the
last
few
years
for
us
not
just
to
monitor
the
driver,
but
for
us
to
see
what's
going
on.
What's
going
on
around
us,
I
was
having
lunch
with
one
of
my
members
the
other
day,
and
there
was
a
hard
break
with
one
of
his
truck
drivers
in
the
bay
area.
H
He
was
able
to
pull
it
up
on
his
phone,
see
what
had
happened
that
gives
us
the
ability
to
manage
folks
remotely.
If
you
know
this
was
an
incident,
and
in
this
case
it
wasn't
where
the
trucker
reacted
poorly,
you
know
you
can
bring
him
in.
You
can
provide
coaching.
This
was
one
where
he
absolutely
had
to
do
it,
so
you
know
he
he
gets.
H
He
gets
a
kudos
and
of
course,
the
last
thing
anybody
wants
is
a
driver
to
be
tired,
while
they're
moving
80
000
pounds
down
the
road
since
2017,
we
have
been
required
to
have
electronic
logging
devices
in
every
single
truck
that
monitor
when
a
driver
is
on
duty
when
they
are
when
they
are
taking
a
break
when
they
are
being
loaded.
H
H
We
get
pulled
over
roadside
to
the
to
the
highway
patrol
and
well-
or
I
should
say,
the
nevada
state
police
now,
two
of
our
most
essential
partners
in
safety,
federal
motor
carrier
safety,
administration
and
the
nevada
state
police,
which
I
think
they're
still
calling
the
highway
patrol
internally,
but
they
are
out
there
making
sure
that
our
trucking
companies
that
are
drivers
are
are
doing
the
right
thing.
H
H
Have
they
got
a
ticket
where
they
have
to
say,
hey
you,
you
cannot
move
forward
until
you
do
something
different
so
for
this
company,
11.8
percent
of
their
violations
were
out
of
service,
so
compare
that
with
21.1
to
the
national
average
0.2
drivers
out
of
service,
so
this
company
is
actually
performing
better
than
a
lot
of
their
compatriots
all
over
the
country.
H
Those
scores
are
determined
on
seven
factors
that
they
call
the
the
basic
scores
where
they
do
an
analysis
based
on
roadside
inspections
based
on
citations,
based
on
when
somebody
pulls
into
a
port
of
entering
gets
inspected.
How
are
they
doing
in
terms
of
unsafe
driving?
Are
they
speeding?
Are
they
making
unsafe
lane
changes?
You
know.
Are
there
things
that
are
going
to?
H
H
We're
going
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
lately,
but
every
truck
driver
is
required
to
pass
a
drug
test
and
they
are
enrolled
in
a
drug
testing
consortium.
So
even
if
you
have
one
truck,
you
have
to
be
in
a
consortium
that
can
call
you
up
anytime
for
a
random
drug
test
and
then
hazmat
and
driver
fitness
is
the
driver
properly
qualified.
Do
they
have
their
medical
medical
card?
H
Anybody
can
look
this
data
up
on
any
carrier,
and
so
we
can
take
a
look
at
this
carrier.
Here's
their
violations-
this
is
on
this-
is
on
unsafe
driving.
You
have
a
driver
that
was
speeding
or
violating
the
lane.
You
know
not
supposed
to
travel
in
a
particular
lane.
H
H
I
love
this
chart
because
it
shows
the
partnership
that
we
here
in
the
state
of
nevada,
have
with
a
high
patrol
that
number
that's
just
a
little
over
one.
That
is
the
number
of
violations
versus
clean
inspections,
because
in
terms
of
truck
safety,
the
relationship
we
have
with
the
nevada
high
patrol,
it's
a
carrot
and
stick.
H
If
you
are
a
good
carrier
who
doesn't
have
any
violations
they'll
give
you
a
clean
ticket
if
they
find
a
violation,
they
give
you
a
citation,
and
you
can
see
here
in
the
silver
state
our
high
patrol
gives
out
as
many
clean
inspections
as
they
do
violations.
So
I
really
like
that
number
that
helps
display
the
partnership
that
we
have
where
they're
rewarding
those
folks
that
are
safe.
H
We
did
see
a
big
spike
at
the
pandemic
when
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
getting
all
the
freight
we
needed
to
get
into
our
grocery
stores.
You
know
from
meat
to
toilet
paper
to
to
ppe
and
we
had
that
that
violation
to
inspection
number
pop
up
really
high
the
highest
we'd
ever
seen
it,
and
that
was
because
they
were
looking
for
those
folks
that
there
were
issues
with
their
vehicle
where
they'd
be
writing
a
citation,
so
they
weren't
doing
as
many
clean
inspections,
and
we
can.
H
We
can
all
understand
why
now
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
my
good
friend,
mr
bensmiller,
the
nevada
administrator
administrator
for
the
federal
motor
carrier
safety
administration,
who's,
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
crash
data
that
we've
seen
with
trucks
over
the
last
few
years.
Bill.
I
Thanks
paul
for
the
record
bill,
bins-miller
division,
administrator
for
federal
motor
carrier
safety
administration-
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
participate
today
and
share
some
of
the
information
through
paul.
Mostly
you
can
see.
I
won't
go
over
this,
but
you
can
see
and
we've
seen
increases.
I
I
We
provide
about
four
million
dollars
a
year
in
safety
funding
for
commercial
motor
vehicles
for
those
types
of
opportunities
for
them
they're
our
main
partner.
We
have
a
few
other
people
that
we
provide
funding
to
such
as
reno
police
department
and
some
other
people
that
have
safety
programs
for
commercial
motor
vehicles.
This.
This
is
an
increase
in
funding,
along
with
the
increase
in
the
number
of
fatals
we're
seeing
and
the
number
of
crashes
that
we're
seeing.
I
Luckily,
the
infrastructure
bill
that
was
just
passed
by
congress
has
a
lot
of
increases
for
for
the
states.
To
give
you
an
example,
in
2000
2021,
we
were
providing
about
2.5
million
dollars
to
the
state
of
nevada
for
these
types
of
safety
programs,
and
this
year
in
2022,
that's
risen
to
about
4.1
million
dollars.
I
This
is
just
a
chart
that
shows
you
some
of
the
freight
volume
that
goes
through
the
state
of
nevada
paulino's
uses
this
all
the
time,
a
lot
of
his
presentations
and
comes
out
of
freight
waves.
It
shows
the
increase
in
some
of
the
freight
volume
versus
the
vehicle
miles
traveled
in
the
states,
and
it's
just
a
representation
to
show
that
there's
somewhat
of
a
correlation
between
these
things.
Obviously
most
people
would
agree.
I
I
This
is
kind
of
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
that
it
it
shows
that
obviously
most
of
the
crash
stats
will
come
out
of
clark
county.
I
So
we
try
to
do
as
many
safety
programs
with
the
state
of
nevada
and
funding
opportunities
for
things
that
you
might
have
seen
in
the
news,
such
as
like
the
the
safe
driver
programs
and
the
the
officer
in
the
cab
of
the
of
the
commercial
vehicle
and
they'll
have
outriders
with
the
nevada
highway
patrol
that
will
look
for
safety,
moving
violations
around
trucks
and
things
of
that
nature
and
outreach
events
that
we
do.
I
This
will
this
is
a
chart
that
will
show
you
that
we
actually
have
domicile
carriers
in
other
states,
such
as
california,
texas,
utah,
arizona
and
those
carriers
are
domiciled
in
those
states,
but
they'll
come
into
nevada
and
they
actually
get
involved
in
a
crash,
so
the
nevada
state,
police
and
us
and
paul.
We
can
have
all
these
safety
programs,
but
we
are
trying
to
find
ways
to
approach
these
carriers
that
are
from
out
of
state
that
come
into
nevada
and
actually
experience
crashes
here
and
we're
trying
to
influence
them
as
well.
I
This
will
show
you
some
of
the
national
trends
as
far
as
work
zone
safety
involving
commercial
vehicles,
seat
belts,
vehicles
under
26
000..
This
is
something
that
paul
and
I
would
like
to
bring
up
to
you.
Is
that
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
some
of
these
smaller,
what
we
call
hot
shot,
type
trucking
companies
that
will
come
through
nevada.
I
They
may
be
carrying
some
type
of
smaller
freight
that
that
has
been
purchased
over
the
internet
that
they
bring
in,
and
then
we
we
see
that
there's
a
mixed
bag
of
safety
involved
with
those
carriers,
the
smaller
carriers
and
maybe
there's
not
the
same
level
of
training
for
the
drivers
and
the
same
amount
of
drug
and
alcohol
testing.
Things
of
that
nature,
so
we're
kind
of
actually
seeing
an
increase
in
those.
I
As
far
as
at
the
very
bottom,
you
can
see
that
we're
experiencing
a
huge
surge
in
new
registrations.
I'm
sure
you've
heard
this
from
the
nevada
department
of
motor
vehicles
as
well,
but
our
inventory
has
increased
almost
three
times
the
amount
at
this
current
date.
This
slide's
a
little
bit
old,
but
our
inventory
used
to
be
about
four
400
or
so
of
these
at
any
given
time
and
recently
we're
seeing
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
1200
of
these
things
at
any
given
time
of
new
people
wanting
to
get
into
the
industry.
I
And
typically
these
are
most
the
larger
percentages.
They're,
mostly
the
smaller
type
vehicles,
hot
shot
vehicles
that
we
were
talking
about.
I
Again,
this
is
just
the
increase
in
registered
carriers
that
we
see
here
in
nevada,
which
also
will
this
chart
actually
shows
that
our
crashes
at
the
bottom
was
was
actually
decreasing,
but
that's
actually
on
the
move
upwards.
So
if
we
included
some
of
the
new
data,
it
would
show
that
that's
kind
of
trending
upward,
but
we're
actually
doing
well
as
far
as
increase
of
registered
companies
and
then
lowering
of
the
commercial
accidents
next
slide
poll.
I
I
Obviously,
we
go
after
high-risk
companies
that
have
data
that
shows
that
they're
high
risk,
even
if
they're
from
another
state
that
I
can
contact
another
one
of
my
counterparts
in
another
state
and
we
can
do
some
compliance
enforcement
activities
on
them.
I
We
do
regular
zoom
meetings
with
paul's
group,
nevada,
trans
trucking
association,
and
we
do
it
with
others
safety
partners.
We
do
a
lot
of
conventions
and
outreach
down
in
las
vegas.
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
other
people
do
too,
but
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
national
approach
down
there.
I
We
have
grants
with
nevada
state
police,
reno
police
department.
We
we
do
a
lot
of
partnerships
with
california
highway
patrol,
where
that
makes
sense
for
us
to
do
that
again.
I'll
mention
the
badge
on
board
program,
which
is
where
we
use
a
partial
vehicle.
State
police
goes
out
and
looks
for
safety
violations
around
the
vehicle
and
has
video
cameras
and
and
either
does
enforcement
or
stops
people
and
does
an
education
with
the
with
the
driver.
I
Also,
we
have
this
another
opportunity
that
we
have
as
household
goods.
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
you
have
heard
a
lot
of
the
complaints
that
have
come
about
from
a
lot
of
the
people
moving
across
the
country.
H
H
While
they're
driving
prior
to
2020,
a
truck
driver
could
have
a
positive
drug
test
and
go
down
the
street
and
get
another
job
from
another
trucking
company,
a
drug
and
alcohol
clearing
house,
something
that
we
advocated
for
for
a
long
time
finally
went
into
effect.
So
anytime.
There
is
a
positive
drug
test
that
goes
to
the
federal
motor
carrier,
safety,
administration,
drug
and
alcohol
clearing
house,
and
that
driver
cannot
return
to
work
until
they
have
completed
a
return
to
duty
status.
H
So
out
of
the
positive
drug
tests
that
that
we
have
seen
or
the
the
positive
tests
82
percent
of
them
are
for
drugs.
So
we're
not
seeing
a
lot
of
alcohol.
It's
mostly
it's
mostly
violations
for
controlled
substances
and
what
we
are
seeing
in
terms
of
the
controlled
substances
where
we've
seen
the
greatest
number
of
people.
Testing
positive
is
on
the
on
the
marijuana
side,
so
over
60
500
drivers
could
not
drive
because
they
tested
positive
for
marijuana.
H
You
know,
unfortunately,
we
still
see
cocaine.
We
still
see
methamphetamine,
but
the
nice
thing
about
this
is
this
drug
and
alcohol
alcohol
clearing
house
has
taken
81
000
drivers
that
were
impaired
that
were
using
off
the
road.
Now
you
had
over
a
hundred
thousand
hundred
and
four
thousand
almost
hundred
five
thousand
drivers
with
a
violation:
those
drivers
after
they
complete
a
return
to
duty
process
where
they
have
to
go
to
a
dot.
Certified
substance
abuse
program
can
start
driving
again,
but
only
until
you've
completed
that
program.
H
Now
truck
driver
shortage
is
something
that
we
hear
a
lot
about
in
the
news
you
know
as
part
of
this
overall
supply
chain
issues.
80
000
drivers
is
short,
is
the
number
that
we
typically
cite.
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
that
this
is
the
whole
problem.
H
I
actually
think
we're
getting
these
drivers
out
of
the
industry
is
actually
a
good
thing,
because
you
know
for
safety.
We
don't
want
folks
that
are
impaired
out
there,
but
it
is
causing
you
know.
It's
one
of
the
factors
that's
causing
the
truck
driver
shortage
that
we
see
today.
When
you
look
at
nevada
nevada,
we
have
1132
drivers
that
are
no
longer
driving
because
they
couldn't
pass
a
drug
test.
Once
again,
I
I'll
tell
you
that
is.
That
is
a
good
thing.
H
Bill
talked
about
the
hot
shots.
Now,
what
is
a
hot
shot?
Trucking
company,
a
hot
shot,
trucking
company
is
somebody
with
a
big
pickup
and
a
trailer,
and
they
move
everything
from
cars
to
boats
to
hay.
To
you
know,
as
bill
mentioned,
they
could,
they
could
be
in
e-commerce
and
over
the
last
few
years
I
get
two
calls
a
month
from
people
calling
me
asking
me:
hey
do
I
have
to
be
regulated
by
the
federal
motor
carrier
safety
administration?
Do
I
have
to
get
a
dot
number?
H
H
All
of
the
things
that
you
typically
would
be
regulated
under.
We
don't
regulate
you
until
you
get
to
26
000
pounds
and
bill
can
talk
about
this
here
in
a
second
we
have
seen,
unfortunately,
those
accidents
increase.
We
did
see
this
fairly
horrific
accident
now
this
was
that
type
of
carrier.
This
was
on
spooner
summit
in
november,
carrying
a
boat
down
from
the
lake.
H
This
carrier
was
crossing
state
lines,
they
were
regulated,
but
I
think
seeing
these
kind
of
accidents
with
these
types
of
configurations-
and
I
went
to
my
board
of
directors
back
in
december
and
we
had
a
conversation.
H
Should
we
look
at
bringing
that
number
down
marrying
it
to
the
the
feds
going
down
from
26
000
to
10
000
pounds?
Now,
potentially,
you
could
capture.
You
know
people
who
are
you
know
landscaping.
Companies
who
are
you
know
just
kind
of
moving
their
things
around,
but
I
will
say
if
you
are
a
for
hire
entity
if
you're
holding
yourself
out
there
to
transport
to
to
transport
freight-
and
you
are
in
that
realm
between
ten
thousand
and
twenty
six
thousand
pounds.
H
I
do
think
there
is
a
place
for
some
regulation
there
that
makes
sense
bill
I'll.
Let
you
speak
to
some
of
these
incidents
that
we've
seen.
I
All
I
would
add
paul
is
that
this
specific
picture
that
most
of
you
are
aware
of
this
happened
south
part
of
carson
city,
the
nevada
state
police
and
the
d.a
here
is
prosecuting
criminal
charges
on
the
driver.
Obviously,
people
have
seen
that
in
the
news,
but
we
were
able
on
the
federal
side
to
this
was
a
company
out
of
florida,
a
marine
hauler
out
of
florida
that
took
this
load.
I
It
was
a
young
man
in
a
ford
f-350,
and
this
this
boat
up
in
lake
tahoe
was
extremely
large
and
very
heavy
and
didn't
have
the
right
braking
system.
We
were
able
to
prosecute
this
collect
the
data
from
the
nevada
state
police
and
we
were
able
to
prosecute
this
company
down
in
florida
and
we
helped
help
them
down
in
that
southern
service
center
to
take
them
to
federal
court
and
prosecute
them
as
a
company.
I
I
Some
of
us
were
involved
in
that
and
we
were
able
to
go
after
that
driver,
but
that
driver
was
a
driver
that
had
passed
problems
with
drugs
and
it
came
out
of
the
news
and
then
this
person
left
a
larger
company
that
had
good
safety
programs
and
went
into
this
smaller
e-commerce
company.
That
was
delivering
smaller
packages.
And
then
you
could
see
the
the
chain
of
events
that
happened,
which
were
horrible
and
unfortunate
and
we're.
I
Correct
correct
so
we're
seeing
a
uptrend
in
those
type
of
crashes
and
it's
it's
it's
a
big
challenge
for
all
of
us.
So.
H
And
madam
chair,
that
is
all
I
have.
I
wanted
to
be
respectful
of
your
time,
but
you
know
you
can
see
as
an
industry,
we
are
very
serious
about
safety.
It
is
something
that
that
we
are
concerned
with,
and
you
know
we.
We
are
an
industry
that
spends
10
billion
dollars
a
year
in
terms
of
technology
in
terms
of
training.
H
This
is
the
last
kind
of
thing
we
want
to
see
happen,
and
I
hate
ending
it
like
this,
but
unfortunately
this
can
tend
to
be
somebody's
somebody's
reality.
When
folks,
don't
do
the
right
things
you
know
when
when
they
don't
have
the
proper
equipment
when
they
don't
have
trailer
brakes,
you
know
when
they
aren't
doing
those
kind
of
inspections
or,
as
bill
stated,
you
know
not
in
that
drug
testing
consortium.
H
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
got
a
couple
questions.
I
noticed
yesterday
that
the
amount
of
trucks
on
the
highway
was
more
than
ever
seen,
so
it
looks
like
they're
really
getting
out
there
and
moving
a
lot
of
product
across
the
state,
but
that's
probably
the
most
trucks
I
ever
seen
on
I-80
at
one
time.
B
B
H
Dor,
madam
chair,
through
you
too
assemblyman
ellison.
Well,
hey!
I
love
it
when
you're
speaking
about
my
hometown,
john,
I
I
always
love
getting
a
question
from
a
fellow
elko
high
school
alumni
as
well
so
good
to
hear
your
voice.
Buddy
demand
is,
it
is
not
the
highest
it's
ever
been,
but
historically
we're
experiencing
demand
in
this
time
of
year
that
we
hadn't
seen
before
the
pandemic
started.
That
demand
has
remained
elevated.
So
there
is
still
a
tremendous
amount
of
freight
demand
out
there.
You
know.
Is
it
e-commerce?
H
Is
it
hey?
People
still
aren't
traveling,
so
they're
spending
money
on
things.
You
know,
I
think
it's
there.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
and
you
know
typically,
when
you
see
trucks
out
there,
that
means
the
economy
is
doing.
Well.
I
have
the
fuel
prices
here
behind
me.
As
you
can
see,
I
mean
I
know:
that's
caused
a
little
bit
of
a
a
crimp
and
some
activity
and
I
think
we
could
see
some
of
this
stuff
slow
down
with
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
fuel
prices.
H
I
don't
know
the
truck
passingly
you're
speaking
about
on
93
john,
but
I
do
know
truck
driving
truck
passing
lanes.
You
know
golconda
or
immigrant
summit
on
on
I-80,
when
I'm
on
my
way
back
to
back
to
elko
are
a
great
thing.
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
our
friends
at
ndot
who
have
a
freight
program.
They
have
a
freight
advisory
committee.
We
talk
about
these
kind
of
projects,
whether
it's
truck
parking
or
truck,
climbing
or
truck
passing
lanes
that
that
makes
sense.
B
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Just
real
quick,
I'm
I'm
wondering
mr
enos.
I'm
sorry,
senator
pat
spearman,
mr
you
know
say,
have
you
all
looked
anything
anything
with
mysteries
with
respect
to
what's
going
on
in
ukraine
and
the
cost
of
fuel
that
would
be
number
one
and
then
number
two.
It
appears
that
there
is
an
appetite
on
y'all's
part
to
look
at
some
type
of
regulation
between
the
10k
and
the
26k
period.
J
H
For
the
record,
paul
enos
nevada,
trucking
association
through
you,
madam
chair
to
senator
spearman
ukraine,
we
have
seen
the
cost
of
fuel
skyrocket
over
the
last
few
days.
You
can
kind
of
see
here,
maybe
see
I
got
a
bit
of
a
glare.
So
this
right
here,
that's
the
that's
the
invasion
in
into
ukraine,
so
you
can
see
that
fuel
prices
have
gone
up
tremendously,
just
in
this
small
period
of
time,
so
yeah
that's
definitely
had
an
impact.
H
You
know
we've
been
experiencing
fuel
prices,
you
know
increase
over
the
last
few
years.
I
was
on
the
phone
with
one
of
my
members
yesterday,
who
told
me
57
of
his
rate
today
is
tied
up
in
a
fuel
surcharge,
so
we
are
seeing
an
impact
on
the
industry.
H
A
lot
of
that
is
backward
looking,
so
you
can
end
up
having
cash
flow
problems
when
you're
putting
out
a
tremendous
amount
to
buy
fuel.
For
for
that
rig,
so
you
know
it
is
definitely
causing
causing
a
bit
of
an
impact
for
us
today.
H
The
price,
as
well
as
the
speed
of
that
price,
is
probably
what
we're
having
where
we're
having
the
the
bigger
impact.
You
know
in
terms
of
a
tiered
system
yeah.
This
is
something
that
I
I
have
looked
at
and
want
to
have
some
more
conversations
about.
I
know
the
state
of
colorado
when
they
decided
to
go
down
from
26
000
pounds.
They
said,
let's
go
to
16
and
there
was
some
reasoning
and
rationale
behind
that
because
they
didn't
want
to.
H
You
know,
hit
everybody
with
the
with
a
landscape
truck,
and
you
know
those
aren't
the
folks
that
I
wanna
I
wanna
hit
either,
but
I
think
definitely
for
somebody
who's
holding
themselves
out
as
a
transportation
company.
As
a
transporter,
you
know,
even
if
it's
just
within
the
state
of
nevada,
once
you've
hit
that
10
000
pound
level.
H
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you,
mr
enos,
for
the
presentation,
and
I
always
appreciate
when
folks
bring
kind
of
emerging
issues
to
our
attention.
One
thing
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
provide
a
little
bit
more
information
about,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
you
sharing
some
of
these
stories.
G
Of
course,
that
you
know
there
was
media
attention
around
the
that
crash
in
colorado
that
I
think,
got
a
lot
of
people's
attention
and
you
know,
and
I've
seen
some
of
the
safety
systems
that
have
been
put
into
place
in
the
trucking
industry
and
they
are
they're
really
impressive.
Frankly,
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
that
inspection,
that
drivers
do
on
their
vehicles
and
then
and
then
kind
of
how
that's
how
some
of
the
safety
checks
are
are
independently
verified
as
well.
H
So
you
know
every
driver
is
required
to
go
and
do
an
inspection
of
their
vehicle
every
day.
You
know
where
we
do
get
that
independent
evaluation
is
when
they
are
pulled
over
roadside
or
they
do
it
pull
into
a
port
of
entry
in
nevada.
We
don't
do.
We
don't
have
ports
of
entry
here,
but
we
have.
We
do
have
trucks,
truck
check
stations
that
do
get
open.
We
do
random
checks
and
we
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
roadside
enforcement.
H
That
only
accounts
for
less
than
three
percent
of
all
truck
crashes.
Where
there's
a
vehicle
maintenance
issue.
I
am
really
proud
of
the
job
that
our
nevada
state
police,
tough
one
for
me
to
say:
oh
I'm,
sorry
for
the
record,
paul
enos,
nevada,
trucking
association.
If
I
didn't
say
that
before
I
really
appreciate
the
job
that
our
state
police
do
being
out
there
on
the
road
looking
for
those
things
that
cause
the
lion's
share
of
crashes
and
that's
unsafe,
driving
behavior.
H
So
if
somebody's
speeding,
if
somebody
is
moving
in
and
out
of
lanes
or
they're,
changing
lanes
erratically,
that's
where
nevada
high
patrol
really,
I
think,
does
a
phenomenal
job
most.
The
citations
that
we
see
occur.
I
think
81
are
on
the
road.
So
to
me
you
look
at
our
numbers
compared
to
other
states.
You
look
at
the
crashes
that
we
have.
You
know.
I
think
our
our
industry,
as
well
as
our
regulatory
and
enforcement
side,
does
a
pretty
great
job
of
verifying
folks
are
doing
the
right
things.
H
A
Thank
you
and
before
I
let
you,
gentlemen,
go.
I
either
mr
enos
or
mr
vince
miller.
The
last
few
weeks
I've
seen
some
ads
for
new
drivers
for
high
school
students.
We
can
you
talk
about
that?
How
young
is
too
young
to
be
a
driver
and
is
there
any
additional
training
that
would
be
involved
in
in
the
instruction
process,
because
these
young
drivers
would
have
less
time
behind
the
wheel
of
any
vehicle
before
getting
behind
the
wheel
of
a
diesel
truck.
H
So
through
you
for
you
to
you,
madame
tear
for
the
record,
paul,
enos,
nevada,
trucking
association,
so
part
of
the
infrastructure
and
jobs
act,
allows
for
a
pilot
program
for
3
000
drivers
to
be
able
to
cross
state
lines.
Now
today,
right
here
in
nevada,
you
can
be
18
years
old
and
you
can
get
your
cdl
and
you
can
go
all
the
way
from
laughlin
to
jackpot
arena
to
vegas
and
you're
fine,
but
that
same
driver
could
not
go
from
las
vegas
to
kingman
arizona.
H
So,
right
now
we
have
drivers
who
are
moving
in
trust
state
within
the
state
who
are
in
that
18
to
20
year
old
realm
part
of
what
we
did.
This
was
called
the
drive
safe
act
and
we're
working
with
our
friends
at
the
federal
motor
carrier,
safety
administration
and
they
are
still
working
on
the
regulations,
but
there's
a
couple
requirements
to
be
one
of
these
drivers
in
this
3000
pilot
program.
H
That
truck
is
required
to
have
all
of
that
safety
technology
cameras
for
collision
mitigation
braking.
So
there
are
more
stringent
requirements
for
that
truck
and
that
driver
in
that
18
to
20
year
realm.
The
driver,
the
the
driver
trainer,
has
to
be
at
least
26
years
old
has
to
have
five
years
of
a
clean
driving
record
no
accidents.
H
One
of
our
members
has
a
truck
driving
school,
just
opened
it
on
rancho,
and
it
actually
has
a
beautiful,
simulator
and
I'll
invite
anybody
on
this
committee.
If
you
want
to
go
on
over
to
the
building
and
see
this
is
pretty
amazing,
the
simulator
I
used
to
say
it
costs
more
than
a
truck,
but
I
don't
think
I
can
say
that
today,
because
we've
seen
truck
prices
increase
too
200
000
bucks
for
the
simulator,
where
you
have
people
getting
some
experience
before
they
get
in
that
truck.
H
So
you
know
that
that's
the
that
is
the
the
nice
thing
about
a
simulator.
There
was
a
19
year
old,
19
year
old,
young
man
and
a
20
year
old
young
lady,
the
young
lady,
was
in
hotshot.
She
was
getting
her
cdl
because
she
wanted
to
be
a
hotshot
driver.
She
already
had
her
ford
f-350
pickup
ready
to
go.
It
made
me
so
happy
to
see
serious
people
at
that
age
who
had
a
plan,
and
you
know
these
were
people
when
you
when
you
meet
them
absolutely.
H
I
trust
them
to
to
drive
me,
so
it
does
take
a
different
mentality
to
be
a
truck
driver.
It's
not
the
easiest
job
in
the
world.
We
don't
take
everyone,
as
as
you
can
see,
but
I
was
really
happy
to
see
folks
in
that
in
that
young
age
range
who
were
getting
their
nevada,
their
nevada
cdl
to
be
able
to
you,
know,
get
into
a
career
which
really
is
still
one
of
the
fastest
ways
into
that.
H
Middle
class
strata
is
to
get
a
cdl
and
you
know
to
to
be
able
to
have
a
career
and
make
a
living
for
you
and
your
family,
and
it
actually
really
made
me
proud
to
see
young
people
doing
that.
A
Thank
you
for
so
much
for
filling
me
in
on
all
that.
It
was
kind
of
scary
when
you
heard
it
on
the
news.
So
thank
you.
Hopefully,.
A
H
We'll
do
it,
and,
and
also
madam
for
the
record,
paul
enos,
nevada,
trucking
association,
I'll
invite
anybody
in
southern
nevada
or
if
you
want
to
come
down
to
southern
nevada
on
april
23rd,
we
are
going
to
be
having
our
truck
driving
championship.
That
is
on
a
saturday.
H
You
can
see
what
the
best
drivers
right
here
in
the
silver
state
are
doing:
they're
required
as
part
of
their
test,
there's
a
written
test
that
they
know
all
the
rules
and
regulations
and
highway
safety.
There
is
a
test
in
terms
of
inspecting
that
vehicle
to
make
sure
it's
roadworthy,
and
then
we
have
a
skills
course.
So
we
have
the
drivers
go
around
a
skills
course.
You
know
everything
from
you
know
how
tight
they
can
make
a
corner
to
to
backing
up.
H
So
I
am
open
invitation
to
anybody
on
the
growth
and
infrastructure
committee
to
come
and
take
a
look
at
this.
It's
going
to
be
at
axt
transportation
and
we'll
we'll
go
ahead
and
send
that
out
to
everybody
on
the
committee,
but
love
to
have
you
down
there
and
we
may
not
get
you
driving
a
truck,
but
we
can
at
least
get
you
in
one
to
see
what
see
what
it's
about.
A
And
with
that,
we
will
close
that
agenda
item
and
we
will
go
back
to
the
top
of
our
agenda
agenda
item
number.
Four:
we've
invited
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
to
provide
to
the
committee
with
an
update
of
the
status
of
select
bills
that
were
passed
during
the
2021
session,
transfer
transformation
efforts
currently
undertaken
by
the
department
and
issues
that
may
come
up
before
the
2023
legislature.
A
K
Good
morning,
chair
monroe,
moreno
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
I
am
tonya
laney,
I'm
the
deputy
director
of
the
nevada
department
of
motor
vehicles.
You
did
get
our
list
of
attendees
correct.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
thank
you
for
letting
us
make
this
presentation
to
you
today.
K
K
The
dmv's
vision
is
a
national
leader
in
dmv
services.
Our
mission
is
to
provide
efficient
motor
vehicle
solutions
for
the
identification,
licensure
and
protection
of
all
we
serve.
We
have
more
than
1200
employees
and
eight
divisions.
The
dmv
collects
1.5
billion
in
revenue
and
conducts
5.7
million
transactions
yearly.
We
are
funded
through
highway
fund
appropriations,
fees,
transfers,
cost
allocations,
reimbursements
and
commissions.
K
L
L
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
background
on
our
current
it
system,
which
is
a
cobalt
mainframe
application.
It
is
18
years
old
and
it's
at
capacity
for
changes.
It
is
unable
to
continue
tracking
and
distributing
the
revenue.
We
collect
no
longer
able
to
meet
the
growing
demands
of
the
public
and
makes
it
difficult
for
us
to
deliver
modern
enhancements
or
respond
to
federal
and
legislative
mandates,
which
is
often
reflected
in
the
large
fiscal
notes
that
we
submit
each
legislative
session.
L
The
remaining
costs
are
estimated
at
55.3
million
for
the
2425
biennium
for
a
total
project
cost
over
the
four
years,
estimated
at
114.9
million.
This
will
transform
the
nevada
dmv
into
a
21st
century
organization
that
offers
its
services
online,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
things
this
will
do
for
us
and
our
customers
on
this
slide.
It
will
allow
us
to
digitize
our
I.t
platform
in
a
secure
environment
comprised
of
business
functionalities,
which
include
financial
and
case
management,
capabilities,
customer
relationship
management
and
business
analytics.
L
The
dte
roadmap
will
outline
the
order
for
each
dte
initiative,
some
of
which
will
be
conducted
in
parallel.
We
will
tackle
work
streams,
for
example,
titles
or
driver's
license
in
parallel,
maximizing
use
of
our
dte
resources
and
by
the
end
of
the
four-year
program
most
of
our
transactions
will
be
online.
In
april,
we
will
begin
execution
of
the
roadmap.
L
One
project
was
prioritized
the
dmv
compliance
enforcement
divisions,
case
management
system
replacement,
which
has
already
begun
and
will
take
approximately
six
months
to
complete
and
and
will
be
brought
online
onto
the
salesforce
platform.
All
other
active
projects
are
moving
forward.
Project
tools
have
been
implemented,
training
paths
and
materials
are
being
finalized
and
staff
is
being
onboarded.

Hello
committee,
sean
sever
from
the
dmv
and
just
as
a
reminder,
I'm
always
available
when
you
have
a
dmv
question
or
need
help
with
a
constituent
so
last
session
we
were
tracking,
almost
200
bills
and
we
had
about
30
of
them.
We
needed
to
implement
at
the
dmv.
M
We
prioritized
them
combined,
some
of
them
and
most
of
the
required
work
on
them
is
complete.
So
I'm
going
to
share
some
updates
today
on
the
top
10
major
bills
that
that
came.
Our
way
first
was
sb
219,
which
required
the
dmv
to
reinstate
drivers
for
non-payment
of
court
fees,
and
this
was
the
most
challenging
bill
from
the
2021
session
that
we
needed
to
implement.
M
We
identified
tens
of
thousands
of
records
that
were
potentially
eligible,
many
of
which,
which
were
very
complicated
and
had
multiple
suspensions
and
to
avoid
putting
more
of
a
load
on
our
old
it
system.
It
was
decided
to
move
forward
with
this
project
with
the
manual
process
and
I'm
happy
to
report
the
dmv
driver's
license
assessment
team.
We
call
them
d-lab
worked
very
hard
in
a
short
amount
of
time
to
reinstate
nearly
9
000
individuals
in
nevada.
M
A
b
116
which
changes
minor
traffic
violations
from
criminal
to
civil
offenses
doesn't
take
effect
until
january
1st
2023
and
the
dmv
is
participating
in
a
work
group
that
will
help
determine
what
violations
will
be
affected
once
those
are
determined.
The
dmv
will
need
to
make
programming
changes
to
accommodate
these
modifications.
M
Assembly
bill
349
closes
the
classic
car
emissions
loophole,
which
will
prevent
people
from
saying
their
old
vehicles
at
classic.
To
avoid
the
emission
test
requirement
in
nevada's
largest
counties,
it
requires
classic
car
owners
to
obtain
and
obtain
insurance
that
is
designed
specifically
for
classic
and
antique
vehicles.
M
M
We
have
also
changed
the
admission
requirement
for
a
new
car
from
three
to
four
years
and
we
have
a
regulations
hearing
on
monday
on
this
actually
senate
bill.
389
deals
with
peer-to-peer
car
sharing,
which
is
much
like
an
airbnb
for
vehicles
where
you
can
rent
your
vehicle
out
to
someone
much
like
you
do
with
a
house
or
apartment.
M
M
Sb29
was
a
dmv
bill
that
allows
third
party
companies
to
process
salvage
titles
for
the
dmv
private
industry
came
to
us
during
the
pandemic
when
we
were
shut
down
and
offered
to
help
us
process
salvage
titles.
We
are
still
working
on
implementing
this
bill
and
the
goal
is
to
make
participating
companies
into
many
many
dmv
offices,
much
like
you'd,
see
at
a
triple
a
office
where
they
can
only
process
and
print
salvage
titles.
M
Ab-188
was
the
bill
that
moved
the
duties
of
the
nevada
legislative
special
license
commission
over
to
the
dmv.
In
implementing
this
project,
the
dmv
is
trying
to
keep
the
same
format
that
the
legislative
committee
followed.
We
have
formed
a
committee
that
will
meet
once
a
year
and
other
times
as
necessary.
M
We
have
also
concluded
or
conducted
a
couple
mock
meetings
that
went
very
well
and
once
we
have
our
first
official
first
official
meeting,
which
will
be
sometime
in
april.
This
project
will
be
complete
as
well
and
senate
bill
60
allowed
the
dmv
to
streamline
our
special
plate
process
and
change
the
out-of-state
movement
permit
period
from
15
to
30
days,
which
was
a
friendly
amendment
added
by
the
nevada
franchise,
auto
dealers
association.
M
M
Our
last
two
are
sb
163,
which
created
the
divine
nine
license
plate
which
honors,
nine
black
fraternity
and
sorority
organizations,
known
as
the
divine
nine
this
plate
has
been
designed.
However,
the
dmv
cannot
move
forward
on
this
project
because
the
organizations
have
not
registered
with
the
state
controller's
office,
which
is
preventing
the
dmv
from
setting
up
the
accounts
where
the
funding
is
distributed,
and
then
ab123
creates
a
charity
organization
for
the
golden
knights
special
plate.
M
So
now
I
briefly
want
to
touch
on
some
issues
that
may
come
up
for
the
2023
legislative
session.
M
The
first
one
is
the
dmv
would
like
to
eliminate
the
tier
system
that
goes
along
with
our
special
plates
process
prior
to
2003.
The
only
way
for
a
charity
to
get
a
specialty
license
plate
was
through
a
legislative
action.
M
Then,
in
2003
ab-358
established
the
commission
on
special
license
plates,
which
was
charged
with
recommending
approval
of
special
plates
prior
to
the
dmb.
Designing
and
distributing
the
plates
applications
were
accepted
from
an
established
non-profit
organization
registered
with
the
nevada
secretary
of
state.
The
legislature
initially
placed
a
cap
on
the
number
of
specialty
plates
at
25..
M
M
M
M
The
dmv
needs
the
ability
to
refuse
drive
tests
after
a
certain
number
of
failures.
This
is
based
on
real
life
experiences
of
staff,
who
have
seen
one
person
in
particular
fail
their
drive,
drive
test
10
times
and
then
some
federal
motor
carrier
safety
administration.
Audit
findings
may
require
the
dmv
to
change
statutes
around
commercial
drivers,
licensing
and
commercial
motor
vehicle
safety.
K
K
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
for
giving
the
opportunity
to
ask
a
question,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
for
their
efficient
implementation
of
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
we
created
and
legislation
that
we
passed
in
the
last
session
and
and
for
an
update
on
their
modernization
efforts.
I
think
that
that's
going
to
help
serve
nevadans
very
well.
D
I
I
have
a
question
around
just
some,
some,
not
necessarily
around
your
presentation
this
morning,
but
just
an
issue
that
has
come
to
light
on
how
the
offices
are
working
around
the
state.
I
had
a
nevadan
approaching
me
about
going
up,
making
an
appointment
to
get
some
some
services
from
dmv
at
their
ely
office
and
driving.
D
You
know
four
and
a
half
hours
to
that
office,
then
when
they
found
out
that
that
that
person,
that
nevadan
was
a
southern
nevadan,
the
ely
office
club
canceled
their
appointment
and
cited
a
policy
that
the
dmv
has
in
place
where
rural
offices
are
not
to
serve
southern
nevadans.
D
And
so
I
I'm
wondering
how
that
policy
was
created,
not
through
statute,
but
was
it?
Was
it
a
a
any
sort
of
a
administrative
code?
Is
that
something
that
was
brought
before
put
into
place
as
a
code
brought
before
ledge
commission,
or
is
that
just
kind
of
an
arbitrary
policy
statement?
And
then
my
second
part
of
that
question
is:
do
the
southern
nevada
offices
have
that
same
policy
in
place
where
they
would
not
serve
a
rural
nevada.
K
K
A
great
example
would
be
primarily
our
drive
test
and
written
testing.
There
has
been
a
long-standing
misconception
that
if
you
take
your
drive
test
in
a
rural
location
such
as
ely
that
it's
going
to
be
easier
to
pass
than
it
is
to
take
that
test
to
the
metro
location,
and
so
we
very
quickly
started
to
see
that
our
rural
offices
were
serving
primarily
metro
area
customers
and
not
able
to
take
care
of
the
local
jurisdiction
that
didn't
have
another
office
to
go
to.
K
But
are
the
rules
reversed?
No,
our
metro
offices
will,
if
you
make
an
appointment,
it
doesn't
matter
what
area
you
live
in
nevada.
We
will
see
you
but
again
that
rule
was
made
internally
to
protect
our
smaller
communities
that
were
seeing.
You
know
60
90,
120,
day
weights,
because
there
were
individuals
from
the
metros
taking
up
the
spaces
in
those
smaller
offices.
D
I
appreciate
how
that
could
could
over
you
know,
tax
our
smaller
offices,
but
I
mean
I
60
90
120
day
weights
are
common
in
southern
nevada
as
well,
and-
and
you
know
I
last
time
I
visited
dmv,
it
was
quite
a
wait
and
you
know
to
be
on
to
be
expected.
I
mean
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
the
state
and
we're
you
know
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
I
did
not
ask
the
person
in
front
of
me
what
kind
of
nevada
they
were.
D
I
just
assumed
that
they
were
a
tax
paying
nevadan
like
I
was.
That
was
trying
to
get
service
from
a
state
tax
funded
program,
and
so
I
I
would
well
while
I
completely
understand
the
the
issue
that
you're
trying
to
address.
D
I
I
think
that
this
might
not
be
the
best
policy
and-
and
I
can't
imagine
how
frustrated
I'd
be
after
spending
nine
hours
of
my
day,
driving
through
beautiful
lincoln
county
and
up
into
ely
from
southern
nevada.
How
frustrated?
I
would
be
that
that
office
took
an
appointment
and
then
canceled
the
appointment
when
I
got
there
when
it
seems
as
if
that
was
the
only
nevada
in
that
office
looking
to
get
service
that
day,
and
so
I
understand
what
the
intent
here
is.
D
But
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
some
modifications
to
that
policy,
and
I
can't
even
imagine
the
uproar
that
I
would
get
from
some.
You
know
of
my
my
colleagues
in
rural
nevada
if,
if
their
constituents
were
turned
around
after
driving,
you
know
four
five
ten
hours
to
seek
service
in
a
southern
nevada
office,
and
so
I
I
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
the
solution
is.
But
I
would
love
to
have
a
conversation
on
modifying
that
policy.
K
Sheriff
I
may
respond,
thank
you
again,
tonya
laney
for
the
record
deputy
director
of
nevada
department
of
motor
vehicles.
I
do
thank
you
for
bringing
this
concern
forward.
K
The
transaction
in
person
or
we
need
to
see
touch
feel
the
documentation
that
they
that
they
have
to
do
their
transaction.
We
do
think
the
transformation
is
going
to
free
up
a
lot
of
resources
to
allow
our
staff
to
better
serve
the
customers
that
do
have
to
come
in.
I
I
apologize
on
behalf
of
the
agency
that
the
customer
ran
into
that
situation,
especially
if
they
were
the
only
one
in
office.
D
B
Thank
you,
madam
chairman,
and
I'm
glad
mr
brooks
brought
this
up.
Thank
you
senator
we're
having
the
same
problems
in
in
elko
people
from
wendover
and
and
and
around
the
areas
I
mean
it's
months
to
get
in
there.
B
I
had
a
woman
that
drove
all
the
way
to
elko
10
times,
and
I
think
they're,
probably
the
same
woman
that
flunked
her
test
every
time
but
yeah
she
could
drive.
She
understood
that
the
problem
is
her.
English
was
not
very
good.
She
was
a
filipino
and
that
created
a
problem.
B
K
Yes,
after
you,
madam
chair
again
tonya
lady
deputy
director
for
nevada,
dmv,
assemblyman
ellison,
we
did
come
forward
with
some
language
change,
a
last
legislative
session
that
does
allow
us
to
start
creating
a
a
privatized
third
party
testing
for
non-commercial
driver's
licenses.
K
A
K
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
again,
tonya
lainey
for
the
record.
I
will
try
my
best
to
answer
it
and
then,
if
I
don't
have
it,
I
know
that
shawn's
got
my
back.
Yes,
my
understanding
is
that
we
have
worked
very
closely
with
the
different
subsidiaries
in
the
divine
nine
organization.
K
I
mean
that
they
have
had
a
constant
communication
and
give
been
given
very
clear
instructions
on
what
they
need
to
do
to
move
forward,
and
then
I
don't
know
if
sean
has
a
more
of
an
update
than
that,
but
we
have
worked
very
closely
with
them.
M
Yeah
sean
sever
with
the
dmv
we
have
worked
closely
with
them
and
and
we
could
even
we
even
offered
to
walk
them
through
the
process
on
how
they
register
so
yeah.
That's
that's
really.
The
only
thing
that's
holding
up
us
implementing
this
bill.
A
M
We're
not
sure
sean
seber
from
the
dmv
for
the
record,
we're
not
sure
yet
chair
we're
gonna
kind
of
do
some
research
on
that,
but
we
have
had
an
individual
do
ten
and
what
happens
is
a
lot
of
times
they're,
just
kind
of
learning
how
to
drive
through
us
and
we'd.
Rather,
you
know
it
just
eats
up
a
tremendous
amount
of
our
time,
so
yeah
we'll
land
on
a
good
figure
when
we
bring
something
forward,
we're
not
even
sure
we're
going
to
bring
this
forward.
M
It's
just
an
idea
at
this
time,
but
just
sharing
some
problems
we're
having
right
now.
K
Madam
chair,
if
I
may
elaborate
a
little
bit
further
yes
tonya
lainey
for
the
record,
we
do
once
we
get
to
three
failures.
We
do
recommend
that
that
customer
go
through
a
driver
training
course
before
coming
back
to
the
dmv,
because,
as
sean
stated,
we
do
see
occasionally
that
that's
exactly
what
happens,
they
will
actually
be
coming
to
the
dmv
to
learn
how
to
drive
versus
coming
to
get
their
driving
ability
tested.
K
So
we
do
make
those
recommendations,
and
it
is
a
very
small
group
of
individuals
that
we
do
see,
that
through
getting
that
training
and
then
coming
back
to
the
dmv.
Still
just
do
not
have
the
skills
necessary
to
obtain
a
driver's
license,
but
we
do
take
every
step
we
can
to
try
and
get
them
educated
before
we
bring
them
back
in
and
test
them
again.
J
J
One
of
the
things
that
happened
when
we
did
the
bill
was
the
requirement
for
the
local
chapters
and
for
some
of
them
they
have
not
received
permission
from
the
national
chapter
to
accommodate
what
the
law
says,
and
so
they
have
been
trying
to
find
out
how
they
might
be
able
to
do
that
and
at
the
very
least
last
last
last.
Ditch
effort
would
be
to
try
to
come
back
next
session
and
change
that
so
that
that
it
will
accommodate
the
various
levels
of
quote
government
in
each
of
those
organizations.
J
So
most
of
them
have
permission.
They
can
already
do
it
from
an
autonomous
standpoint.
They
can
already
go
and
register,
but
then
there
are
some
who
have
to
go
through
their
national
office
before
they
can
do
that,
and
so
that's
where
the
hold
up
is-
and
it's
just
trying
to
trying
to
get
the
national
offices
to
reconcile
what
the
law
here
in
nevada
says.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
members.
Any
other
questions,
all
right,
cnn.
I
thank
you
both
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
information
and
the
updates
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
day.
Thank
you
awesome.
So,
moving
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
it's
a
presentation
on
the
federal
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
by
the
national
conference
of
state
legislatures,
also
known
as
ncsl.
A
As
you
know,
president
biden
signed
the
bipartisan
1.2
trillion
act
into
law
on
november
15
2021,
president
biden
noted
it
would
rebuild
our
roads,
bridges
rails,
expand
access
to
clean
drinking
water,
ensure
that
all
americans
have
access
to
high-speed
internet
and
to
consider
the
climate
we
have
mr
ben
hush
from
with
us
from
ncsl
and
we'll
provide
an
overview
of
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
and
how
it
affects
nevada.
Welcome
to
our
committee,
you
can
get
started
whenever
you
want.
N
N
Everything-
okay
on
the
av
great
so
good
morning,
it's
afternoon
here
but
good
morning,
for
those
of
you
in
nevada.
My
name
is
ben
hush
and
I
am
the
federal
affairs
council
for
the
natural
resources
and
for
natural
resources
infrastructure
here
at
the
national
conference
of
state
legislatures.
I'd
like
to
thank
both
chair,
monroe,
moreno
and
vice
chair
harris
for
inviting
me
to
brief
you
all
on
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
or
the
iija.
N
So
the
iija
is
a
voluminous
piece
of
legislation
over
2500.
I
think
it's
almost
it's
just
around
2700
pages,
so
I'm
here
today
to
talk
with
you
about
some
of
the
key
provisions
relating
to
transportation
and
energy,
but
the
bill
also
has
provisions
on
four
other
kind
of
core
areas
of
infrastructure,
so
water,
broadband,
cyber
and
disaster
mitigation.
N
Before
I
kind
of
get
into
the
nitty-gritty
of
the
bill,
I
I
wanted
to
share
what
I
think
at
least
there
are
a
few
helpful
resources
on
the
bill.
So
the
first
link
you
can
see
at
the
top.
The
guidebook
that
was
put
out
by
the
white
house
is
actually
itself
nearly
500
pages
long,
but
is
actually
a
really
good
resource
for
a
very
quick
overview
of
every
program,
I'm
kind
of
organized
by
by
different
issue
area.
N
There
are
a
ton
of
resources
online
from
the
us
department
of
transportation,
and
I
you
know
just
do
want
to
commend
them
on
everything
that
they
have
put
out
to
helpful
to
help.
Folks,
like
me,
and
legislators,
like
yourselves
to
better
understand
the
bill
and
two
links
at
the
bottom
are
just
summaries
that
ncsl
staff
have
put
together.
So
if
you're
looking
for
you
know
my
presentation
in
a
bit
more
concise
but
visual,
you
can
click
on
those
links
as
well.
N
So
before
I
get
to
the
transportation
details
of
the
bill,
I
think
it's
important
to
maybe
set
a
bit
of
a
baseline
and
provide
some
background
on
kind
of
how
existing
federal
funding
for
surface
transportation
works.
I
apologize
that
this
is
a
repeat
for
some
folks,
but
generally
the
federal
government
attempts
to
pass
multi-year
transportation
authorizations
that
cover
the
gamut
of
transportation
modes.
You
have
surface
water,
aviation
and,
of
course,
surface,
which
includes
roads.
Transit
rail
is
significantly
larger
than
those
other
two.
N
Now
these
authorizations
then
provide
appropriations
on
an
annual
basis
so
for
surface
transportation.
N
The
la
congress
last
passed
a
five-year
bill
in
2015,
known
as
the
fixing
america
service
transportation
act
in
2020
congress
extended
that
for
another
year,
when
it
wasn't
able
to
reach
an
agreement
on
a
reauthorization
but
back
to
the
iija,
as
you
may
remember,
the
bill
was
put
together
really
solely
by
the
senate
and
was
actually
then
approved
without
changes
by
the
house.
So,
unsurprisingly,
the
infrastructure
bill
kind
of
fully
incorporates
the
senate's
version
of
a
transportation
reauthorization
that
the
senate
committee
of
jurisdiction
had
previously
approved
in
the
spring
of
2021..
N
Now,
if
I
can
just
kind
of
summarize,
like
sum
up
the
transportation
portion
of
the
iija,
it
is
a
very
strong
bill
for
states
and
I'll
get
into
details
of
this
in
a
second,
but
it
provides
a
significant
percentage
of
its
fundings
of
its
funding
through
formulas
to
states,
rather
than
say,
competitive
grants,
two
states
or
competitive
grants
to
local.
However,
there
are
a
number
of
new
competitive
grants,
but
when
you
look
at
the
total
funding
for
those
competitive
grants,
they
are
considerably
less
than
the
formula
programs
for
states.
N
Okay,
let's
get
to
the
numbers
so
on
the
right
side
of
this
chart.
Hopefully
you
can
see
or
on
the
right
side
of
the
slide,
you
can
hopefully
see
a
chart
from
an
organization
called
federal
funds,
information
for
states
which
gives
a
state-by-state
total
for
the
federal
aid
highway
program.
Now
the
federal
aid
highway
program
is
made
up
primarily
of
a
of
a
few
core
programs
that
provide
funds
to
states
through
formulas
and
the
federally
highway
program
is
kind
of
what
congress
reauthorizes.
N
When
I
was
talking
about
kind
of
reauthorizations
every
few
years
or
so,
and
these
formula
funds
are
provided
to
states,
you
know
generally
through
reimbursement
with
each
of
these
kind
of
core
programs
having
a
slightly
different
goal,
though
there
is
some
overlap
and
states
can
transfer
some
funds
from
one
program
to
the
other,
but
why
I
really
like
this
chart
is:
it
shows
how
significant
an
increase
in
federal
funds
that
states
are
going
to
get
for
their
through
the
federal
aid
highway
program.
N
N
However,
what
this
chart
doesn't
include
are
some
of
the
new
formula
programs
that
are
outside
of
the
federal-aid
highway
program,
but
were
included
in
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs.
Act
such
as-
and
you
may
have
heard
of
this-
a
new
40
billion
dollar
bridge
repair
and
replacement
program.
N
The
amount
that
nevada
get
will
get
is
going
to
be
based
on
the
condition
of
your
bridges
and
how
many
of
them
are
in
a
state
of
repair
will
determine
the
amount
that
a
state
receives
to
either
rehab
or
replace
those
bridges.
An
important
thing
to
know
is
that,
regardless
of
you
know,
if
a
state
has
zero
bridges,
there
is
a
minimum
amount
that
a
state
will
get
every
year,
45
million
dollars
per
year
or
225
million
dollars
over
the
course
of
the
bill.
N
Now
the
key
takeaways
that
I
want
to
highlight
from
the
formula
part
that
the
details
of
the
competitive
program
have
not
actually
been
released
yet,
but
of
the
formula
part,
it's
important
to
look
at
bridges
from
what
is
known
as
an
on
system
or
off
system
point
of
view,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is,
is
the
bridge
on
the
national
highway
system
or
is
it
off
the
national
highway
system?
And
the
reason
that's
important
is
for
bridges
that
are
on
the
national
highway
system.
N
These
federal
funds
can
be
used
to
cover
80
of
a
project's
cost,
whereas
if
a
bridge
is
off
the
national
highway
system,
these
tend
to
be
more
local,
sometimes
even
county
or
township
owned
bridges.
Federal
funds
can
be
used
to
cover
100
of
the
project's
cost,
so
the
federal
government
is
clearly
trying
to
incentivize
states
to
spend
a
you
know
more
of
the
funds
on
some
of
the
smaller
locally
owned
bridges,
more
so
than
bridges
on
the
national
highway
system
itself.
N
So,
in
addition
to
the
new
bridge
program,
the
bill
also
includes
you
may
have
heard
a
five
billion
dollar
national
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
formula
program.
The
acronym
for
this
is
now
known
as
nevi.
As
I'm
sure
everyone
knows,
everyone
loves
a
good
acronym.
So
if
you
hear
me
saying
debbie,
I
am
referring
to
the
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
formula
program.
N
So
the
key
thing
to
understand
about
this
is
it
is
a
five
billion
dollar
program.
It's
a
little
bit.
You
know
on
an
annual
basis.
You
would
think
five
year
bill
five
billion
dollars,
one
billion
dollars
a
year.
It's
actually
a
little
bit
less
this
year,
the
the
bill
provided
a
few
hundred
million
dollars
to
the
u.s
department
of
transportation
itself
to
actually
set
up
the
program.
N
But
generally
then,
in
the
out
years,
it's
a
billion
dollars
a
year
for
this
program,
uscot
issued
a
guidance
document
for
this
new
program
about
a
month
ago.
Now,
at
this
point,
the
key
things
to
take
away.
N
There
are
any
projects
that
are
funded
with
these
funds
have
to
be
public
chargers;
they
obviously
can't
be
private,
but
although
they
can't
be
private,
the
projects
can
incorporate
the
private
sector
to
either
build
operate
or
even
maintain
the
chargers
and
federal
funds
will
cover
80
percent
of
a
project's
cost,
but
the
program
does
allow
if
a
state
wants
to,
or
it
can
reach
an
agreement
with
a
private
sector
entity
for
that
private
sector
to
cover
the
20
non-federal
share
cost,
so
that
was
kind
of
a
you
know,
a
big
thing
with
this
program
a
couple
other
new
state
formula
programs
I
want
to
mention,
though
the
rules
or
guidance
has
not
actually
been
released,
there's
a
new
formula
program
that
is
geared
towards
you
know
what
I
will
just
say
are
surface
transportation,
infrastructure
resiliency,
and
that
is
the
protect
program.
N
N
So
when
you
combine
the
formula
bridge
program
with
these
additional
bridge
programs,
you
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
what
nevada
is
going
to
get
as
a
minimum.
From
this
bill.
Now
I
say
minimum
because
once
we
receive
more
details
on
all
the
new
competitive
programs,
obviously
the
state
dot
will
be
able
to
apply
for
those
depending
upon
certain
eligibilities.
N
Okay,
public
transit,
so
the
primary
point
I
want
to
leave
you
all
with
is
kind
of
both
the
scale
of
the
investment
with
40
billion
of
the
90
billion
in
in
total
investment
in
the
bill
being
new,
but
also
the
fact
that
90
billion
dollars
is
the
largest
ever
investment
in
public
transit.
N
However,
for
states
it's
important
to
know
that
much
of
the
federal
funding
for
public
transit
operates
on
a
federal
to
local
structure
versus
highways.
That
is
much
more
geared
towards
federal
to
state,
so
the
chart
on
the
right
hand,
side
provides
all
of
the
public
transit
funds
that
will
go
to
nevada,
but
not
necessarily
the
state
of
nevada.
N
So
there
are
so
las
vegas
has
will
receive
federal
public
transit
funds
kind
of
irrespective
of
the
state,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
this
highlighted
on
the
left-hand
side,
where
you
can
see
those
programs
that
are
significant.
You
know
the
local
programs
are
significantly
larger
than
those
state
formula
programs.
N
So
similar
to
public
transit,
the
amount
of
funding
for
passenger
rail
is
substantial
66
billion
dollars
in
total,
with
a
slight
preference
for
the
national
network
versus
you
know
what
is
known
as
the
northeast
corridor.
Now
of
the
66
billion
dollars
included
in
the
bill,
amtrak
itself
would
receive
22
billion
dollars
directly.
N
The
other
kind
of
very
large
pot
is
a
36
billion
dollar
competitive,
prop
competitive
pot,
known
as
the
federal
state
partnership
for
inter-city
passenger
rail
grants.
Now,
amtrak
itself
can
apply
for
these
grants,
but
so
can
states
so
can
local
governments
so
can
regional
governments
so
about
half
of
the
total
funds
is
available
for
states,
but
it
is
competitive
versus
formula.
There
is
also
another
five
billion
dollar
competitive
grant
program
that
is
primarily
focused
on
rail
safety,
infrastructure.
N
So
the
last
two
items,
I'll
mention
fairly
quickly
aviation
was
another
area
to
receive
funding
in
the
bill
about
15
billion
dollars
through
faa's
airport
improvement
program.
This
is
aviation
infrastructure
that
is
generally
focused
on
non-terminal
infrastructure
at
airports,
whereas
there
is
a
five
billion
dollar
program
for
airport
terminal
development
projects,
there's
also
another
5
billion
for
aviation.
Excuse
me
for
federal
aviation
administration
facilities
for
water
transportation
infrastructure,
which
is
you
know,
an
area.
I
realized
not
that
important
to
nevada,
but
I
just
want
to
mention
it.
N
The
inland
waterway
system
will
receive
about
nine
and
a
half
billion
dollars,
most
of
that
flows
through
the
army
corps
of
engineers
and
then
there's
an
additional
six
billion
for
ports
of
entry
split.
You
know:
60
40
for
land,
ports
versus
water,
ports.
N
All
right,
so
I'm
going
to
transition
now
over
to
you
know,
energy
provisions.
The
bill
covers
a
number
of
areas
within
energy
infrastructure
and
I'll
get
to
those
in
a
second.
But
what
I
want
to
start
with
is
actually
a
provision
in
the
bill
is
not
a
funding
provision
and
there
is
a
section
in
the
bill
that
would
actually
reduce
state
authority
when
it
comes
to
electric
transmission
infrastructure,
siting
that
would
potentially
allow
the
federal
energy,
regulatory
commission
or
ferc
to
overrule
a
state's
decision.
N
If
the
u.s
department
of
energy
determines
that
a
transmission
line
is
actually
part
of
the
national
interstate
electric
transmission
corridor,
I'm
trying
to
use
the
technical
terms,
even
though
I
know
sometimes
they
can
be
a
bit
long-winded.
Now.
Thankfully,
a
commissioner
on
the
federal
energy
regulatory
commission
actually
said,
maybe
about
two
months
ago,
that
the
commission
is
unlikely
to
make
use
of
that
authority
to
overrule
states,
but
nonetheless,
the
potential
for
that
still
exists
now
moving
on
to
kind
of
the
dollars
of
when
it
relates
to
energy
infrastructure.
N
So,
on
the
transmission
front,
the
bill
would
authorize
a
fairly
small
amount,
but
about
10
million
dollars
per
year
for
electricity
transmission,
but
it
would
also
authorize
two
and
a
half
billion
dollars
in
loans
and
that's
generally
because
energy
infrastructure,
at
least
on
the
transmission
side,
tends
to
flow
through
the
private
sector
more
directly
for
states
the
bill
provides
a
one-time,
500
million
dollar
award
for
the
department
of
energy's
state
energy
program
and
I'll
I'll
talk
about
that.
More
specifically.
N
In
a
second
now
500
million
may
sound
small,
especially
kind
of
given
some
of
the
billion
dollar
totals
that
I
had
mentioned
when
I
was
talking
about
transportation,
but
I
want
to
put
this
in
perspective
that,
prior
to
this
bill,
the
annual
appropriation
amount
for
this
project
was
generally
around
50
million.
So
this
is
a
substantial
increase,
even
though
you
know
it's
considerably
less
than
say
what
nevada
might
get
from
the
federal
highway
administration.
N
One
new
state
energy
infrastructure
formula
program
that
the
bill
establishes
is
a
new
formula
program
for
electric
grid
resiliency,
that's
primarily
aimed
at
helping
to
prevent
outages.
It's
authorized
at
two
and
a
half
billion
so
500
million
per
year,
but
we
are
actually
still
awaiting
further
guidance
from
doe.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that,
for
any
projects
that
are
funded
with
these
funds,
it
would
require
a
15
state
match.
N
Staying
kind
of
you
know
for
states,
states
will
receive
three
and
a
half
billion
for
their
weatherization
assistance
programs
and
500
million
for
state
likhi
programs,
but
I'll
return
to
those
in
a
second.
However,
unlike
transportation
for
energy
infrastructure,
the
majority
of
the
funding
in
the
bill
is
actually
directed
at
research
and
development.
N
It
provides
six
billion
dollars
for
research
into
carbon
capture,
eight
billion
dollars
for
research
and
demonstration
for
hydrogen,
and
just
over
three
billion
for
advanced
nuclear
reactors
and
just
real
quick
in
addition
to
that
three
billion
there's
also
a
six
billion
dollar
pot
to
help
fund
and
maintain
the
country's
existing
fleet
of
nuclear
nuclear
reactors
and
just
to
kind
of
put
that
in
perspective,
that
fleet
of
reactors
provides
about
19
percent
of
total
electricity
production
in
the
country
and,
of
course,
since
they're
nuclear
zero
carbon
emissions.
N
Now
I'm
going
to
leave
aside
the
issue
of
the
waste
that
goes
with
that,
because
that
is
a
I
realize,
a
very
different
conversation,
but
going
back
to
the
state
energy
program.
N
The
reason
I
bring
this
up
is
obviously
because
it
is
both
a
substantial
increase
in
what
a
state
normally
receives,
but
also
because
it's
one
of
the
few
formula
programs
that
runs
through
the
department
of
energy,
the
state
energy
program
you
know,
generally
provides
funding
for
technical
assistance
to
states
to
enhance
energy
security,
advanced
state-led
energy
initiatives.
You
know,
and
just
what
I
would
say,
is
kind
of
maximizing
the
benefits
of
decreasing
energy
waste.
N
N
On
weatherization
and
light,
so
the
pro
the
weatherization
assistance
program
aims
to
provide
funds
to
states
to
help
reduce
energy
costs
for
low-income
households
by
increasing
the
energy
efficiency
of
their
homes
on
providing
it
provides
funds
to
all
50
states.
N
Similarly,
the
laggy
program
or
the
low
income
housing
energy
assistance
program,
which
is
technically
administered
by
the
us
department
of
health
and
human
services,
but
obviously
it
focuses
on
energy
bills
and
it
provides
funds
to
low-income
households
to
help
reduce
the
cost
of
their
monthly
energy
bills.
N
So
this
is
just
a
quick
summary
of
the
funding
that
we
know
at
this
point
that
nevada
will
get
as
it
relates
to
energy
infrastructure.
We
are
still
waiting
on
allotments
of
laheep
and,
as
I
mentioned,
that
transmission
that
new
transmission
formula
program
I
haven't
mentioned
the
energy
efficiency
revolving
loan
fund.
But,
as
you
can
see,
it's,
you
know
generally
considerably
smaller
than
some
of
the
other
programs,
but
it's
generally
geared
towards
providing
funds
to
states
to
kind
of
start.
A
revolving
loan
fund
aimed
at
energy
efficiency
projects.
N
N
So
to
answer
that,
I
often
you
know
use
the
analogy
of
how
different
the
iija
is
than
the
american
rescue
plan,
which
was
passed
or
which
was
passed
in
march
of
2021,
and
that's
because
the
american
rescue
plan
states
essentially
got
a
bucket
of
money
with
the
question
of
how
best
to
spend
it
was
left
up
to
each
state
with
the
infrastructure
law,
a
large
majority
of
the
funds
are
coming
through
existing
channels,
meaning
many
of
these
programs
have
been
in
place
prior
to
the
bill,
but
what
the
bill
did
was
it
substantially
increased
the
amount
of
funding
that
those
programs
got
now?
N
This
is
especially
true
for
transportation,
where
the
federal
aid
highway
program
was,
you
know,
has
existed
for
many
years,
and
many
of
the
programs
that
received
funding
through
this
infrastructure
law
were
have
been
around
for
years
now.
The
other
big
difference
is
that
for
transportation,
the
funds
are
generally
provided
on
a
project
by
project
basis,
so
a
stake
can
access
a
bucket,
but
they
are
generally
reimbursed
on
a
project
by
project
basis.
N
N
D
J
If
you
have
to
remember
that,
sometimes
the
the
raise
the
hand
piece
doesn't
work,
but
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I
have
just
a
couple
questions
because
I
know
when
the
bill
was
first
being
discussed
and
deliberated
in
congress.
We
weren't
in
the
middle
of
ukraine
and
we
were
not
re
in
the
middle
of
a
geopolitical
environment
that
virtually
we
have
no
control
over.
J
So
first
thing
I
want
to
ask
is
when
you
talked
about
talked
about
infrastructure
for
electrification,
and
then
I
saw
I
think
in
three
sides
before
the
last
one
there's
like
eight
billion
for
hydrogen,
is
there
any
wiggle
room
for
other
other
opportunities
with
respect
to
renewable
energy
resources
that
we
might
be
able
to
to
access
or
might
be
able
to
lay
the
foundation
to
access
in
the
next
round?
So
that's
number
one.
N
Sure
do
you
want
me
to
respond
now,
or
did
you
want
to
ask
all
the
questions
at
once?
Well,
I.
N
I'm
happy
to
respond
okay,
so
on
the
renewable
question
I
would
say,
the
bill
is
a
bit
more
focused
on
in
the
energy
sector.
Not
so
much
on.
You
know
renewable
when
it
comes
to
say
solar
and
wind.
N
Now,
that's
not
to
say
that
there
won't
be
funding
for
research
and
development
of
more
advanced,
say,
solar
panels
or
wind
turbines,
but
I
would
say
that
it
was
not
say
a
focal
point,
as
we
saw
would
say,
the
billion
dollars
for
hydrogen
or
the
three
billion
dollars
for
advanced
nuclear
reactors
now
on
the
kind
of
within
the
transportation
bucket,
the
five
billion
dollars
for
the
ev
charging
infrastructure
program
is,
you
know,
unlike
anything
we've
seen
on
a
federal
scale
in
terms
of
federal
dollars
for
electric
vehicle
charging.
N
Now
you
know,
of
course,
just
because
it's
an
eb
doesn't
mean
it's
powered
by
renewable
power,
but
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
a
ice
vehicle
or
an
internal
combustion
engine
vehicle
is
definitely
not
powered
by
renewable.
J
So
so
the
the
next
one,
the
next
one
would
be
when
I
started
talking
about
other
options
when
the
president
was
in
michigan
and
he
drove
the
jeep,
I
think
it
was
a
hydrogen
fuel
cell
jeep,
and
he
mentioned
the
fact
that
our
dependency
in
china,
I
think
we've
got
70
to
75
percent
of
our
lithium
comes
from
china.
That
could
really
compromise
all
of
the
plans
that
we
have
moving
forward
with
evs.
N
So
I
would
maybe
take
a
bit.
My
answer
is
going
to
be
a
bit
broader
than
this
bill,
because
I
would
say
you
know.
Within
the
past
few
months
we
have
definitely
seen
a
number
of
announcements
from
the
administration
that
are
really
looking
to
develop
a,
I
think,
a
better
word,
but
can't
think
of
one
of
them.
I
had
a
home-grown
supply
chain
for
battery
production,
so
not
only
the
batteries
themselves,
but
also
the
materials
that
go
into
the
batteries.
You
know
the
the
drive
to
create
that
kind
of
you
know.
N
National
supply
chain
has
given
rise
to
a
conversation
around
kind
of
climate
versus
conservation
and
balancing.
You
know
the
the
need
to
build
up,
or
you
know,
in
some
cases
build
up.
In
some
cases,
inc
increase
the
supply
chain
of
those
materials
versus
conserving
certain
lands
where
those
materials
may
be
able
to
be
mined.
So
I
you
know
it's,
I
would
say
it's
an
ongoing
conversation.
N
I
do
think
to
your
point,
though.
Certain
world
events
of
the
past
two
weeks
have
kind
of
changed.
The
calculus,
for
you
know
maybe
how
dependent
we
are
or
don't
want
to
be
going
forward.
J
And
the
last
thing
would
be:
you
mentioned
grid
resiliency.
Does
that
include
distributed
generation?
J
Could
you
say
that
again
you
mentioned
you
mentioned
that
some
of
it
is
for
grid
resiliency
and
the
question
would
be:
does
that
include
distributive
generation?
We
had
a
bill,
I
want
to
say
it
was
in
2017
that
was
requiring,
that
to
start
being
implemented
by
our
by
iowa
youth.
Sure.
N
So
that
program
we
actually
haven't
got
at
least
I
have
not
seen
the
details
from
doe.
It
is
one
of
the
new
programs,
but
with
that
said,
I
would
be
very
surprised
if
an
eligible
use
of
those
funds
was
not
for
distributed
generation
projects.
I
I
don't
want
to
say
with
100
certainty,
but
I
think
to
your
point.
You
know
they
tend
to
line
up
very
closely
together.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
the.
D
Question
I
have
been
in
your
in
your
presentation.
You
talked
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
guidelines
that
have
come
out
and
I
wasn't
aware
of
them.
I
know
that
we
we
have
six
separate.
F
Categories
of
money
that
coming
into
the
state
that
will
be
in
different,
you
know
buckets
right.
Broadband.
D
For
one
I
was
told
that
perhaps
the
guidelines
for
broadband
don't
come
out
till
may.
I
was
surprised
when
you
said
that
one
of
the
guidelines
that
already
come
out
about
a
month
ago-
I
was
not
aware
of
that.
Could
you
tell
us
the
timelines
for
some
of
those
that
you
do
know
about.
N
Sure,
sorry,
so,
the
month
ago
was
in
reference
to
the
electric
vehicle
charging
program.
I
apologize
if
I'm
confused
there.
Okay,
broadband,
the
broadband
guidance
to
my
knowledge
has
not
been
released
yet
and
is
probably
going
to
be
a
bit
longer.
Even
though
it's
and
broadband
is
not
my
area
of
expertise,
but
it
is
a
huge
amount
of
money.
I
think
it's
like
42
and
a
half
billion
dollars
for
states,
but
we
are
still
awaiting
got
a.
N
We
are
still
awaiting
a
number
of
things
when
it
comes
to
broadband,
but
to
your
point,
to
the
larger
question
about
guidance
for
new
programs.
So
I
apologize
in
advance
if
this,
if
my
answer
is
a
bit
confusing
so
going
back
to
the
bill
itself
and
when
the
bill
was
signed,
the
bill
did
two
things:
it
authorized
programs
and
to
be
appropriated
at
a
future
date
by
congress.
Certain
programs
were
authorized
and
then
needed
to
wait
on
future
appropriations
separately.
The
bill
provided
appropriations
in
other
areas.
N
So
any
program
that
was
authorized,
even
if
that
authorization
was
a
substantial
increase
over
the
past
year,
because
it
was
authorized
and
not
appropriated,
it
has
not
received
those
additional
level
of
funds
and
also
it
was
not
able
to
put
out
guidance
about
that
new
level
of
funds.
Now
I
say
that
in
that
we
expect
congress
to
pass
an
appropriations
package
later
this
week
for
fy2022.
N
So
I
will
I
am
you
know
I
am
expecting
there
to
be
a
number
of
announcements
about
the
new
programs,
especially
on
the
transportation
side.
Where
you
have,
I
think
it
was
in
the
area
of
like
20
plus
new
programs
to
a
number
of
announcements.
You
know
announcing
how
to
apply
for
those
funds,
the
rules
and
the
guidelines
for
how
to
spend
those
funds.
B
D
And,
for
example,
and
I
go
back
to
the
broadband-
they
believe
that
they're
looking
at
towards
the
end
of
may
that
this
is
just
tentative.
That's
right!
I
just
want
to
get
an
idea
from
you.
You
know.
N
N
The
issue
that
they
are
running
into
is
that
the
they
have
to
redo
the
maps
of
where
broadband
service
isn't
where
it
is
and
where
it's
say
provided,
but
it
is
not
at
certain
speeds
and
the
older
maps
have
proved
incorrect
in
a
number
of
instances,
and
so
that
is
kind
of
step
one
and
then
step
two
would
be
kind
of
related
to
the
funds.
N
Two
states
to
you
know
build
or
undertake
is
a
better
word
undertake
projects
in
the
areas
that
don't
have
service
or
have
lower
levels
of
service.
F
D
N
Sure
so
I
would
say
so.
You
know
I'll
start
with
transportation,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
just
how
much
of
the
bill
is
transportation
funding.
So
almost
half
of
the
bill
is
transportation
funding
and
thankfully,
on
the
transportation
side,
much
of
that
funding
is
through
existing
for
is
through
existing
programs.
Now
the
bill
does
create
a
number
of
new
programs,
but
the
total
dollar
amount
of
those
programs
is
significantly
smaller
than
the
programs
that
already
exist.
N
So
the
rules
around
eligible
uses-
all
you
know,
already
exist,
I'm
happy
to
talk
with
you
offline.
If
you
have
any
kind
of
specific
project
questions
and
the
same
goes
for
you
know
the
water
or
environmental
funding.
A
lot
of
those
funds
are
coming
through
state
revolving
fund
programs
that
the
epa
environmental
protection
agency
administers
and
those
revolving
funds
have
been
around
before
this
bill.
N
So
most
of
the
funding
that
is
going
to
states
is
actually
coming
through
programs
that
already
exist,
where
there
isn't
as
much
of
a
need
for
say,
new
guidance
or
new
rules.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chairman.
I've.
I've
got
a
couple
if
I
can
now
make
them
real
short
airport
right
now.
The
some
of
the
rural
airports
cannot
get
the
funding
so
they're
losing
the
it's,
not
the
aip
grants,
but
it's
actually
losing
the
companies
to
come
into
rural
nevada
that
supply
aircraft
influence.
It's
like
sky
west
used
to
fly
into
salt
lake
elko
torino.
Then
they
cut
the
reno
off.
B
B
N
Sure
so,
on
the
patient
side,
two
things
I'll
say
so
I
think
you're
referring
to
the
essential
air
service
program.
That's.
B
N
I
don't
believe
there
was
any
funding
for
that
program
in
this
bill,
but
on
the
aip
program,
just
to
maybe
put
it
in
perspective.
So
you
know
over
the
you
know
the
past
kind
of
few
years.
The
average
annual
level
of
funding
for
that
program
is
just
over
three
billion
dollars.
This
bill
alone
provided
15
billion
dollars.
N
So,
while
I
can't
say
for
sure
that
one
of
those
airports
that
you
mentioned
would
receive
funding
through
the
aip
program,
it's
much
more
likely
that
a
significantly
larger
number
of
airports
will
receive
funding
through
the
aip
program,
just
based
on
the
amount
of
funding
provided
by
the
bill.
B
So
I
don't
know
if
it's
because
of
the
airlines
can
get
pilots
or
if
the
airlines
cost
of
fuel
or
or
insurance.
I
have
no
idea,
but
I
know
that
they
had
a
big
meeting
in
elko
last
night
and
I
missed
it.
So
maybe
I
can
get
that
back
and
get
it
to
you,
madam
chairman,
and,
and
you
can
send
that
forward
or
something,
but
that
creates
a
real
problem
for
one
half
of
the
state.
B
They
can't
get
the
planes
in
and
can't
get
the
people
in
and
out
and
driving
in
the
wintertime
makes
it
almost
impossible
sometimes
get
into
some
of
these
passes.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
then,
if
you
could
hit
on
the
lithium
and
I'll
I'll
log
off.
N
Sure
so
I
would
just
kind
of
refer
back
to
what
I
had
kind
of
said
a
little
bit
previously.
N
Just
that
you
know,
I
I
to
senator
spearman's
question
about
world
events,
impacting
the
potential
need
for
developing
a
more
homegrown
supply
chain,
and
I
you
know,
I
do
think
that
that
increases
the
likelihood
of
that,
but
it
is
kind
of
part
of
a
more
national
conversation
around
balancing
the
need
for
conservation,
while
balancing
kind
of,
alongside
with
the
materials
that
go
into
you,
know
the
batteries
that
power
electric
vehicles.
I
don't
know
that
I
can
say
anything
more
specific
than
that
other
than
that.
You
know
it
is.
N
You
know,
a
cost-benefit
question
of
which
the
kind
of
equation
itself
has
been
substantially
altered
in
the
past
two
weeks,
based
on
world
events.
A
A
Thank
you.
I
have
next
up
silly
man
miller
and
then
I
believe,
senator
brooks.
D
Thank
you,
chairman
moreno.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
just
have
a
question
regarding
the
transmission.
The
the
transmission
lines
in
the
potential
federal
oversight
or
overrule
of
you
know,
what's
happening
within
the
state.
In
that
regard,
we
have
our
green
link
transmission
project
that
is
coming
up.
D
Is
that
something-
and
this
might
not
be
a
specific
question
for
the
presenter-
it
may
be
something
that
someone
else
on
the
call
can
answer
for
me,
but
would
our
green
league
project
then
be
subject
to
that
potential,
federal
oversight
of
being
able
to
overrule
or
change
our
proposed
plans.
N
So
I
will
just
jump
in,
I
don't
know
specifically,
but
I
can
definitely
look
into
it
and
follow
up
with
you.
What
I
want
to
point
out-
and
I
didn't
mention
this-
my
presentation
is,
though,
that
kind
of
preemption
provision
was
in
the
bill.
N
It
was
essentially
in
response
to
back
in
2005
congress
thought
that
they
had
passed
a
provision
that
did
what
they
just
did,
but
a
court
case
then
ended
up
telling
them.
They
didn't
actually
pass
that
preemption.
So
this
is,
it
was
a
response
to
an
issue.
That's
been
around
for
almost
two
decades
now
you
know,
I
would
generally
say
it
doesn't
sound
like
there
is
that
much
of
a
desire
at
this
point
I
think
it
is.
N
It
was
an
attempt
by
congress
to
give
federal
energy
regulators
a
tool
should
they
need
it
at
some
point
in
the
future,
but
assemblyman
miller
I'll
follow
up
with
you
offline,
and
we
can
chat
about
the
specific
project
you
mentioned.
Thank
you.
D
My
question
is,
is
regarding
infrastructure
banks
and
at
the
federal
level,
but
the
state
infrastructure
bank
that
we
have
and
other
states
have
similar
most
of
this
funding
is
is
very
formulaic,
goes
into
existing
programs
based
on
population
and
some
other
things,
but
some
of
it
seems
to
be
a
little
discretionary
and,
and
it
is
our
infrastructure,
banks
and
other
states
being
used
as
ways
to
kind
of
catch
the
money
and
then
leverage
it
for
other
investment
and
other
stacks
of
of
capital
that
can
be
applied
to
projects.
D
Is
that
something
other
states
are
doing
and
with
some
of
the
or
will
they
be
doing?
I
guess.
N
N
One
thing
I
mentioned
a
few
times
in
different
programs
was
the
idea
of
kind
of
you
know
what
the
federal
share
of
a
project
would
be
so
80
of
a
project
federal
funds
could
be
used
for
20
had
to
be
non-federal,
so
you
know
sometimes
that
can
be
a
state's
infrastructure
bank
covering
that
sometimes
it
can
be
other
state
funds.
Sometimes
it's
local
funds.
N
N
So
what
I
would
say
is
that
you
know
the
use
of
an
infrastructure
bank
you
know,
could
potentially
increase
the
number
of
projects
undertaken.
But
I
wouldn't
say
it's:
you
know
the
the
funds,
as
you
talk
about,
are
kind
of
geared
towards
the
state
and
whether
or
not
the
state
wants
to
make
use
of
those
federal
funds
for
a
project
is
up
to
the
state
state
d.o.t,
as
guided
by
the
legislature
and
the
governor.
A
All
right
see
none!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
presentation.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
today
and
members.
That
brings
us
up
to
our
last
presentation
of
the
day
and
it
is
going
to
be
three
in
one,
so
lucky
you
so
because
of
that
we
are
making
great
time,
but
I'm
going
to
give
us
a
10
minute
break.
I
have
12
18
on
my
clock,
so
if
you
can
get
back
here
at
12,
28
and
we'll
start
with
that,
last
presentation.
A
Okay
and
we
are
back,
I
hope
everyone
got
a
quick
bite
to
eat,
to
stretch
their
legs
and
all
that
our
next
and
last
agenda
item
for
presentations
is
a
presentation
by
the
department
of
transportation,
the
regional
transportation
commission
of
southern
nevada
and
the
regional
transportation
of
washoe
county.
A
These
agencies
will
provide
an
overview
of
the
current
transportation
infrastructure,
maximum
maximizing
transportation,
funding
safety
initiatives,
their
operations
during
the
covet
19
pandemic
and
emerging
transportation
and
infrastructure
issues,
and
first
up
we
will
have
nevada's
department
of
transportation,
and
we
have
director
swallow
from
nevada
department
of
transportation
joining
us.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
with
us
today
and
the
floor
is
yours.
C
Good
morning,
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
real,
quick
here
and
just
say
thank
you
so
much
for
chairman
roma
moreno
for
facilitating
inviting
us
and
facilitating
these
conversations
and
two
hard-working
lcv
staff
who
actually
make
sure
that
we
get
you
all
the
information
you
need,
whether
it's
at
these
meetings
or
afterwards,
when
we
need
to
follow
up.
So
I
just
thank
you
so
very
much
and
also
thank
you
for
that
10
minute
break.
I
was
able
to
get
some
nuts
in
me
so,
like
I
don't
like
pass
out,
so
thank
you.
C
I
today
I'm
going
to
focus
on.
I
know
you
said
what
we're
generally
focusing
on
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
summary
of
the
funding
coming
our
way.
Of
course,
I'm
going
to
do
a
brief
overview
of
endot
just
again,
so
you
know
where
we
are.
What
we've
been
what's
changed
a
little
bit,
some
summary
of
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
safety.
C
So,
let's
get
started,
as
you
know.
I
think
you
all
know
this,
and
that
is
responsible
for
the
planning,
construction
operations
and
maintenance
of
5400
centerline
miles
of
roads
and
highways
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
over
1
000
bridges
throughout
the
state.
It's
about
15,
14,
15
000,
lane
miles,
but
5400
centerline
miles.
We
are
made
up
of
about
1800
construction,
pre-construction
planners
administrative
personnel,
maintenance
and
other
team
members
who
help
contribute
to
our
program
each
and
every
day.
C
So,
let's
look
at
our
funding
briefly,
just
as
an
update
and
before
I
get
into
some
of
the
challenges.
So
as
you
look
at
this,
this
funding
is
our
fiscal
year
2021.
As
we
close
fiscal
year
2021.,
it
was
still
an
odd
year
fiscal
year.
2021
was
the
bulk
of
the
pandemic,
so
these
numbers
are
lower
than
what
we
would
normally
and
have
anticipated
for
fiscal
year
2021..
C
As
you
know,
our
highways
are
that
we
that
we
design
and
build
and
maintain,
are
primarily
funded
with
highway
user
revenue
and
federal
funds,
and
those
federal
funds
are
primarily
highway
user
revenue
as
well
they're,
primarily
gas
taxes
and
registration
fees.
They're
collected
the
taxes
and
fees
collected
by
the
federal
government
are
then
placed
in
the
federal
highway
trust
fund
and
the
federal
government
accounts
for
about
a
third
of
our
overall
revenue
and
the
and
the
remainder
is
state
resources.
C
C
The
state
highway
fund
is
a
special
revenue
fund
established
to
account
for
the
receipt
and
expenditure
of
dedicated
highway
user
revenue.
The
majority
of
the
state
highway
fund
funds,
the
nevada
department
of
transportation
and,
unlike
the
federal
highway
trust
fund
and
many
other
state
agencies,
ndot,
is
not
supported
by
general
fund
at
all.
A
significant
amount
of
the
operating
costs
of
dmv
and
dps,
primarily
state
highway,
patrol
or
state
patrol
nevada,
state
police,
we're
all
learning
the
new
words.
C
C
It's
important
to
note
that,
as
ben
mentioned,
we
are
on
a
reimbursement
basis
with
the
federal
government,
so
that
fluctuates
based
off
of
our
project,
delivery
and
project
expenditures
and
that's
different
than
obligations
which
I'll
talk
about
here
in
a
slide
or
two
and
roughly
323
million
of
the
total
is
actually
directly
fuel
taxes,
whether
it
is
gas
taxes
or
special
fuels,
and
that's
roughly,
if
you
include
the
federal
funding
it
ends
up
being
a
roughly
52
percent
of
our
total
revenue
is
fuel
is
fuel
taxes
and
then
I
should
note
that
in
fiscal
year
2021
there
was
a
one-time
redirection
of
the
gst
to
the
general
fund
due
to
the
covet
impacts.
C
The
legislature
took
that
action,
recognizing
that
that
revenue
was
going
to
that
revenue.
Redirection
was
going
to
be
offset
by
cares,
act,
funding
so
cares
act.
Funding
did
help
offset
that
and
then,
in
addition
to
the
above,
ndot
received
842
000
in
fiscal
2021
to
in
federal
cares
act,
reimbursement
for
cobit
related
expenditures.
This
had
to
do
with
the
cleaning
and
the
safety
protocols
that
we
had
to
put
in
place
to
keep
our
team
functioning
and
moving
forward.
C
There
was
an
additional
21.8
cares:
act,
funding
for
rural
transit,
that's
entirely
a
pass-through
from
our
program
and
then
a
little
bit
later
I'll
talk
about
one
other
bucket
of
relief
funding
that
we
got
late
in
federal,
late
in
calendar
year
2021,
and
how
what
we're
looking
at?
C
How
we're
looking
at
spending
that
okay,
so
then
you'll
see
how
we
spend
that
money
majority
of
it
is
ndot
a
little
bit
to
nevada,
state,
police
and
dmv,
and
just
a
note
in
comparison
to
other
states,
we
are
very
efficient
in
how
we
allocate
our
resources
in
2020,
the
usa
today
ranked
nevada
as
having
the
best
overall
transportation
infrastructure
in
the
country
and
that
that's
not
just
ndot.
That's
all!
That's
the
locals.
It's
the
transit!
C
It's
everything,
despite
spending
less
per
license
driver
than
all,
but
four
states,
so
we're
very
efficient
in
how
we
allocate
our
resources.
C
As
we
look
at
this,
this
is
how
that
concept
of
obligations
versus
reimbursements
on
an
annual
basis.
How
much
we
spend
goes
up
and
down
that's
the
table.
You
can
see
on
the
left
and
roughly
76
over
the
last
10
years.
Roughly
76
percent
is
going
towards
construction
and
engineering
17
towards
maintenance
and
operations
and
equipment,
and
then
a
7
towards
administration
and
support
services.
C
That's
our
regular
federal
highway
obligations
and
you
can
see
it
stays
pretty
stable
and
we
do
obligate
all
of
our
federal
dollars
every
year
and
the
gold
number
on
top
of
that.
That
actually
reflects
the
extra
money
or
extra
obligation
authority
that
we're
given
and
we
haven't.
Federal
highways
has
a
process
by
which,
in
august,
if
there's
additional
funding
available
to
be
obligated
across
the
nation,
they
redistribute
that
funding
to
organizations
dots
that
have
the
capacity
to
still
deliver
and
obligate
projects
in
that
federal
fiscal
year.
So
it's
like
a
one
month
process.
C
C
That's
what
I
was
mentioning
some
additional
federal
covid
funding
that
we
received
to
ensure
that
we
could
deliver
our
program
and
that
was
70.4
million
dollars
provided
to
ndot,
with
an
additional
19
million
that
went
distributed
between
las
vegas,
reno,
south
and
south
lake,
and
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
we
fully
obligate
all
of
that
funding
as
well.
C
The
big
question
and
I'll
touch
back
on
this
when
I
get
into
the
iija
as
well,
is
how
do
we?
How
do
we
prioritize
our
projects?
We
have
a
data
driven
prioritization
process
that
was
approved
in
concert
with
a
stakeholder
engagement
across
the
entire
state
in
2018.
C
It
has
these
six
goals
and
we're
really
looking
at.
How
do
we,
you
know,
enhance
the
safety
by
really
making
sure
the
system
itself
is
safe,
preserving
our
infrastructure,
optimizing
mobility,
making
sure
people
can
get
to
where
they
want
to
go
in
the
most
efficient
manner,
recognizing
the
economic
development
opportunities
that
are
associated
with
the
transportation
system,
while
considering
the
sustainable
and
sustainability
impacts
of
our
communities
and
the
impact
of
transportation
on
sustainability.
Really
thinking
through
that,
and
then
how
do
we
make
sure
everybody
is
connected
to
where
they
want
to
go?
C
This
is
a
it's
a
long
process.
We
go
through
it
every
year
to
develop
our
annual
work
program
and
on
a
four-year
basis,
we
develop
our
state
transportation
improvement
plan,
which
is
in
coordination
with
the
local
mpos.
They
do
local
mpos.
So
the
rtcs
both
do
a
a
regional
transportation
improvement
plan
that
feeds
up
into
hours
and
we
worked
and
we
update
that
roughly
every
two
years.
So
it's
a
long
process.
C
We
also
look
at
pro
needs
way
further
out
than
that
four
year
process,
because
some
projects
require
a
lot
more
work
than
a
four-year
timeline.
Would
give
you
all
right.
So,
let's,
let's
talk
about
our
infrastructure
a
little
bit,
we
have
we're
very
fortunate.
We
have
the
best
bridges
in
the
country.
This
is,
I
think,
eight
years
running
in
a
row
this
year
we
were
tied
in
a
three-way
tie,
but
we
are
generally
always
at
the
top
of
that
list
and
we're
very
fortunate.
C
I
think
that
is
in
part,
because
our
bridges
are
still
very
young,
and
so
we
recognize
that
we
have
a
preservation
shortfall
exceeding
200
million
dollars,
and
we
also
know
that
as
a
fast
growing
state,
we
need
to
continue
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
build
the
new
infrastructure?
That's
needed,
as
our
communities
continue
to
grow
when
you
combine
the
capital
needs
with
the
preservation
needs.
It's
our
shortfall
on
an
annual
basis
is
over
500
million
dollars.
C
That's
roughly
equivalent,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
to
the
fuel
taxes
collected
for
our
program,
it's
roughly
80
percent
of
our
capital
program,
and
we
know
that
that
that
shortfall
is
only
going
to
continue
to
grow
related
to
some
of
these
challenges.
I'm
going
to
be
mentioning
shortly.
I
should
note
that
we
are
increasingly
required
to
spend
our
money
on
preservation.
C
C
Our
population
is
growing,
which
is
fantastic,
we're
one
of
the
states
that
really
is
benefiting
from
a
fast
growing
population,
but
our
not
the
amount
of
driving
is
growing
at
a
rate
faster
than
our
population.
You
can
see
that's
a
16
from
2012
to
2020
on
population,
but
23
in
vehicle
miles
traveled.
That
is
not
sustainable.
C
You
can
look
here
on
this
next
one
about
how
does
the
vmt
relate
to
our
highway
fund
revenue,
so
the
vmt
is
that
is
the
orange
line
on
the
top,
with
the
trend
on
the
dots,
the
revenue
is
the
blue
lines
on
the
bottom
and
what
I
would
like
to
and
I'm
going
to
add
the
next
time.
I
talk
about
this,
I'm
going
to
add
some
vertical
lines
there,
so
you
can
see
how
the
dotted
lines
are
growing
apart
over
time.
C
Bmt
is
increasing
at
a
rate
faster
than
our
and
our
growth,
our
revenue
growth,
and
why
is
that?
It's
because
of
fuel
economy,
it's
very
much
linked
to
fuel
economy.
Majority
of
our
money
is
coming
from
gas
and
special
fuel
taxes,
but
the
funding
model.
It's
based,
it's
old,
it's
old
school,
it's
based
on
a
high
gas
consumption
and
cars
today
are
just
simply
more
efficient
than
they
were
when
this
model
was
established
in
oregon
in
the
early
1900s.
C
So
it's
time
for
us
to
really
start
looking
at.
How
do
we
reset
that?
And
how
do
we
look
at
future
funding
models
going
forward?
I'll
talk
briefly
about
that?
It's
not
just
evs:
all
cars
are
becoming
more
fuel
efficient,
so
we
need
to
figure
out
what
to
do
to
really
address
the
decreasing
revenue
while
bmt
goes
up.
C
Another
challenge
that
we
face
is
just
that:
construction
costs
and
inflation
since
since
2003
construction
costs
have
nearly
doubled
and
well
you
saw
gas
taxes
aren't
and
needs
continue
to
grow,
outpacing
that
and
then
we
all
know,
we've
all
seen
it.
We
all
feel
it
on
a
regular
basis.
Inflation
generally,
even
in
this
last
couple
of
years,
has
really
skyrocketed.
C
So
we're
worried
about
that
and
watching
it
there's
not
a
lot
we
can
do,
though
we
still
have
to
pave
our
roads
and
then
we
need
to
talk
about
and
think
about.
You
know
how
we
grow
in
in
nevada,
how
we
move,
how
we
live
in
our
communities,
and
we
have
established
this
pattern
where
we
grow
further
and
further
out
single-use
zoning.
You
can
see
here,
it's
pretty
much.
C
All
residential
there's
looks
like
there's
a
park
or
a
school
and
some
and
some
reserved
areas
for
commercial,
perhaps
but
those
aren't
very
biker
pet
accessible.
You
have
to
have
a
car
to
live
in
nevada.
If
you
don't
have
a
car,
your
transportation
challenge
and
having
to
have
a
car
can
really
significantly
economically
burden
a
family.
We
saw
during
the
pandemic.
Families
who
knew
they
needed
a
car
were
sitting
in
lines
to
get
food
because
they
couldn't
afford
food,
but
they
couldn't
afford
to
get
rid
of
the
car.
C
That
was
more
important,
and
so
we
really
have
to
think
about.
How
do
we
build
our
communities?
And
this
isn't
in
that
end
space,
except
for
elevating
the
conversation
starting
the
conversation?
So
everybody
understands
how
these
are
so
closely
linked,
and
I
should
note
that
when
we
start
to
look
at
how
we
build
our
communities,
it
will
help
ndot,
because
it
will
help
us,
hopefully
allay
some
of
the
increasing
growth
in
that
bmt
I
mentioned,
but
it
also
will
help
us
achieve
our
climate
goals
by
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
It
will
help
with
community
vibrancy.
C
If
people
don't
have
to
pay
for
a
car,
they
might
actually
be
able
to
pay
for
some
other
necessary
goods
for
their
houses,
or
even
some
unnecessary
goods.
Little
splurges
here
and
there
it
will
provide
better
access
to
affordable
housing
and
a
system
that
works
for
everyone,
not
just
those
who
can
afford
to
afford
to
own
and
are
actually
able
to
operate
a
car
and
then
climate
change.
C
I
don't
think
we
always
instantly
think
about
how
climate
change
can
impact
the
transportation
system,
but
what
some
of
our
neighboring
states
saw
last
summer
when
those
in
that
epic
heat
wave
in
june
that
hit
primarily
the
pacific
northwest,
they
had
bridges
popping
their
concrete
panels,
because
the
concrete
is
designed
to
expand
during
the
summer
and
during
warm
days.
But
it's
not
it's
designed
for
what
reasonable
limits
are.
Not
for
these
extraordinary
temperature
swings
that
we're
seeing
across
the
nation
we're
also
seeing
epic
rainfall
epic
fires
when
the
fire
happens
after
the
fire
happens.
C
We
have
to
worry
about
the
storms
the
next
summer
and
landslides
and
we've
seen
those
and
we've
been
impacted
by
them.
We've
been
impacted
by
the
fires,
and
so
these
things
are
happening
at
an
ever
increasing
rate,
and
that
is
challenging
our
ability
to
really
deliver
the
program
and
maintain
the
program,
because
it's
an
additional
cost
that
we
now
need
to
anticipate
and
be
prepared
for.
C
And
I
mentioned
and
leaked
out
a
little
bit.
You
guys
all
know
about
it,
because
you
voted
on
it.
Last
session,
sustainable
transportation
funding
the
the
chair
has
been
working
with
us
on
this
group.
We
have
an
advisory
working
group,
there's
29
people
on
it.
We've
been
meeting
almost
monthly
there's
some
months
where
we
skip
so
the
consulting
team
can
do
a
little
bit
more
work.
C
So
how
do
we
work
together
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
capital
needed
to
to
grow
the
system
as
as
our
communities
continue
to
grow
before
I
get
to
the
iija?
I
just
wanted
to
talk
to
one
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about.
I
have
two
slides
on
these
and
one
says
retention,
one
says
pay
and
the
remarks
my
talking
points
are
kind
of
blended
together
on
the
two,
so
I'll
switch
at
some
point.
C
You'll
get
to
look
at
some
other
of
our
awesome
team
members,
but
one
of
our
biggest
challenges-
I
I
would
argue
maybe
our
biggest
challenge
is-
is
retention,
recruitment
and
retention
of
our
employees
and
before
I
get
too
far
into
this,
I
just
want
to
say
our
team
members
are
amazing.
I
joined
this
team
in
2019
and
I
didn't
realize
how
incredible
they
were.
We
do
an
annual
employee
engagement
survey
and
have
been
doing
it
for
years,
and
I
got
here
in
2019.
E
C
Low
pay
that
was
not
new,
it
didn't
happen
just
in
2019.
It's
been
a
concern
that
they've
had
for
years,
and
I
understood-
and
I
heard
them-
and
I
understood,
but
I
recognize
that
that's
not
something,
that's
particularly
in
my
space
to
change,
and
so
I
said
all
right.
Well,
let's
talk
about
the
things
that
I
can
change.
How
can
we
work
on
morale?
C
How
what
are
the
other
things
that
we
can
do
and,
as
we
started,
having
those
conversations
it
just
kept
going
back
to
to
pay
and
they
were
asking
me
well,
what
are
you
doing
and
how
are
you
levitating?
How
are
you
elevating
this
conversation?
How
are
we,
how
are
you
working
for
us
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knows
the
challenges
we
face
so
I
started.
C
I
started
focusing
on
on
that
and
thinking
about
that
and
I
and
I
I
recognize-
and
I
think
this
is
something
we
all
know-
our
ndot
team
members
are
critically
important
to
maintaining
the
safety
of
the
network.
When
we
see
fatalities
go
up
at
some
some
cases.
Those
could
be
related
to
a
lack
of
our
ability
to
maintain
the
system.
C
We
are
one
of
the
largest
state
agencies
and
with
15
to
1800.
You
know.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
a
lot
of
vacancies
that
salary
really
impacts
a
lot
of
people
across
the
state,
not
just
those
individual
team
members,
but
their
family
members
as
well.
So
I
wanted
to
provide
a
few
statistics
for
you.
Just
for
awareness,
the
starting
salary
for
a
highway
maintenance
worker
one
at
ndot
is
31
000
about
a
quarter
of
our
workforce,
makes
it
under
40
000
per
year,
and
almost
60
percent
of
our
team
members
make
under
50
000..
C
These
are
highly
skilled
employees,
who
can't
feed
their
families
according
to
a
2021
salary
study
and
our
employees
from
highway
maintenance
workers
to
administrative
assistance
to
engineering
techs,
make
anywhere
from
fifteen
thousand
to
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
less
on
average
than
the
same
positions
at
other
nevada.
Public
agencies.
C
That's
just
looking
at
salaries
when
you
factor
in
benefits
in
the
statistics
are
even
worse
and
that
employees,
like
all
state
employees,
have
to
contribute
to
their
pers
benefits.
In
contrast,
local
public
agencies
frequently
fully
pay
for
those
pension
contributions
and
the
health
premiums,
including
subsidizing
a
much
larger
percentage
of
dependent
premiums.
C
I
should
note
I
actually
got
a
notice
last
fall
of
one
of
our
crews
in
rural
nevada
who
actually
put
out
the
fire
and
because
they
were
there
and
the
fire
response
was
still
an
hour
away,
and
so
they
put
out
like
they
are
critical
aspects
of
our
team
across
the
entire
state.
C
C
During
the
week
of
christmas,
2021
alone,
they
dedicated
more
than
6
000
work
hours
to
clearing
snow
and
ice,
ensuring
there
was
a
clear
path
for
drivers
and
their
families
stuck
on
I-80
the
following
week.
They
battled
walls
of
snow
and
wind
gusts
of
100
miles
an
hour
through
the
washoe
valley
to
make
sure
the
highway
was
traveled.
The
highway
was
safe
for
the
traveling
public,
but
providing
sorry,
but
providing
safe
and
clear
roads
during
winter
has
become
more
challenging,
with
a
vacancy
rate
of
55
percent
for
snow
plow
drivers.
This
season.
C
I
should
note
we're
also
even
sometimes
called
in
to
support
other
things.
We
help
support
road
closures,
significant
road
closures
for
major
events
like
new
year's
eve
in
southern
nevada
or
during
the
times
of
political
unrest
during
2020
in
reno
they
called
on
us
and
asked:
could
we
help
them
control
the
roads
and
access
to
their
community
to
make
sure
that
that
area
was
kept
as
safe
as
possible?
C
And
then
I
should
just
finally
know
that
during
the
peak
of
the
pandemic,
our
maintenance
crews
never
left
their
posts,
ensuring
that
essential
goods,
medical
supplies
and
vaccines
could
get
to
our
citizens,
including
delivering
vaccines
themselves
to
outlying
rural
areas.
They
kept
our
supply
chain
moving,
allowing
countless
businesses
to
hold
on
during
a
period
of
enormous
economic
activity.
C
If
we
are
ever
faced
with
another
crisis
on
that
scale,
we
will
again
be
on
the
front
lines
we
always
are.
They
show
up
and
performing
our
civic
duty
to
keep
the
public
safe
in
our
economy,
moving
despite
our
team's
essential
service
status
and
the
critical
and
highly
skilled
services
they
support,
they
provide
to
our
first
responders
during
emergencies.
They
simply
are
underpaid.
C
But
if
I
get
the
opportunity,
I've
asked
them
to
be
able
to
share
them
directly
with
you
during
hearings
during
the
2023
session,
and
I
will
do
what
I
can
to
make
sure
you
have
the
information
you
need
to
work
with
me
to
fix
this
all
right.
Now,
I'm
going
to
get
to
the
bill.
So
I'm
going
to
go
a
little
more
granular
than
ben
did
with
ncsl,
because
I'm
here
and
he's
ncsl,
so
multi-year
bill
long-term
investment
five
years.
We're
super
excited
about
it.
It
was.
C
It
is
the
biggest
that
we've
seen
largely
because
it
has
to
be
right
because
of
inflation
and
because
the
needs
continue
to
grow,
and
so
the
bill
has
to
be
bigger,
as,
as
I
think
ben
mentioned,
he
circled
it
on
a
slide.
Our
formula
funding,
which
is
not
as
formulaic
as
it
used
to
be
the
formula
change,
but
its
formula
is
2.5
billion
dollars
in
guaranteed
service
transportation
funding,
but
that
doesn't
include
the
extra
programs
and,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
a
few
extras.
It
doesn't
include
the
bridge
program.
C
It
doesn't
include
the
eb
program
when
you
add
those
on
we're
closer
to
2.7.
To
2.8
billion
dollars
in
money
we
know
that's
coming
to
our
transportation
program
and
then
there's
the
discretionary,
the
grant
programs
that
are
on
top
of
that.
So
we
need
that
approach
bill
to
get
passed.
I
know
congress
is
working
on
it.
I'm
seeing
updates
all
day
long
about
what
they're
doing
and
whether
or
not
it's
going
to
get
passed
and
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
have
another
continuing
resolution.
C
Funding
will
increase
roughly
federal
fiscal
year.
2022
funding
will
increase
roughly
21
over
last
year,
so
last
year's
federal
funding
was
397
million
and
obligation
authority
this
year,
when
that
approach
gets
passed,
will
be
481
million
dollars.
21
increase
in
federal
funding,
roughly
10
percent
increase
in
overall
funding.
So
it
is
a
big
boost.
It's
not
a
gigantic
boost,
it's
it's,
and
when
we
talked
about
inflation,
the
bill
has
some
other
policy
initiatives
in
it
that
we've
been
advocating
for
for
years
and
we're
excited
about.
It
increases
the
maximum
number
of
highway
miles.
C
We
may
designate
as
critical
rural
freight
corridors
from
150
miles
to
300
miles
and
as
critical
urban
freight
corridors
from
75
to
150
in
a
big
in
the
seventh
largest
state
in
the
nation.
This
is
important
being
able
to
designate
longer
corridors
there.
The
bill
also
provides
flexibility
for
states
like
ours
to
designate
as
critical
rule-free
quarters
a
maximum
of
600
miles
or
25
percent
of
our
primary
network.
C
So
that's
also
a
positive
there's,
some
that
additional
bridge
funding
to
help
maintain
our
state's
2100
bridges,
and
I
should
know
we
have
a
171
million
dollar
bridge
backlog
and
preservation
funding.
We
know
that's
going
to
grow
because
our
bridges
are
new
and
they're
young.
Some
of
them
are
aging
we're
working
on
it,
but
they're
so
young
that
they're
what
that
bill
is
going
to
come,
do
at
the
same
time
so
we're
working
on.
How
do
we
make
sure
to
keep
those
bridges
viable
and
extend
their
lives
as
much
as
possible?
C
Most
of
the
programs,
as
ben
mentioned,
are
existing
programs
they're
going
to
continue
with
an
increase
but,
and
we've
already
prioritized
projects
to
go
with
that,
we're
looking
if
there's
any
nuance
and
the
guidance
that
comes
up
that
maybe
changes
those
priorities,
but
we've
already
prioritized
and
have
projects
ready
to
go
to
use
that
additional
funding.
C
What
we're
most
excited
about
is
that
it's
going
to
continue
to
fund
jobs
throughout
our
state,
not
just
the
jobs
of
those
that
are
delivering
the
program,
but
all
of
the
people
who
are
supported
by
that
investment,
the
people
who
are
doing
delivering
the
materials,
but
also
the
people
that
when
I
go
to
the
grocery
store,
my
job
helps
me
make
sure
that
we
have
jobs
for
the
grocery
store
workers,
the
doctors,
the
lawyers,
everybody.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
potential
impact.
C
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
programs
in
the
in
the
bill
that
we'll
see
increasing
in
funds
and
while,
overall,
it's
a
roughly
20
increase
in
the
in
the
bill.
Not
all
of
the
programs
received
the
same
levels
of
increase,
so
the
national
highway
performance
program,
it's
roughly
at
18
the
surface
transportation
block
grant
program,
which
is
the
most
flexible
program
that
we
have
and
a
significant
amount
of
that
money
goes,
is
sub-allocated
to
our
urban
areas
and
that
one
received
a
14
increase.
C
Highway
safety
improvement
program
received
slightly
larger
at
a
24
recognizing
the
administration's
interest
and
focus
on
how
critical
we
need
to
how
much
we
have
to
work
on
safety.
One
of
the
things
I
thought
was
interesting.
We've
got
some
questions
regarding
this
is.
It
appears
and
we're
looking
in
to
confirm
this.
It
appears
that
the
national
highway
freight
program
actually
received
a
decrease
in
funding.
So
so,
as
we
talk
about
supply
chains
and
and
some
of
and
some
of
those
impacts,
we're
we're
looking
at
figuring
out
well,
why
is
that?
C
Maybe
it's
because
some
of
our
others
are
flexible.
We
can
use
on
that,
but
having
a
decrease
in
that
means
that
now,
in
order
to
fund
that
those
projects
will
really
have
to
compete
at
a
different
level
with
other
projects
that
might
rank
as
higher
priorities.
C
Ben
mentioned
two
programs
that
we're
still
waiting
for
full
guidance
on
the
carbon
reduction
program,
which
will
receive
roughly,
I
think,
11
million
dollars
and
that
resilience
program
the
protect
or
we're
looking
at
receiving
about
12
and
a
half
million
on
that
and
we're
working
to
be
ready
to
deliver
those
projects
when
they
come.
C
When
we
talk
about
the
ev
program-
and
this
is
not
new
you've
all
heard
me
talk
about
it,
I'm
I'm
excited
about
delivering
the
eb
program
and
providing
a
way
to
reduce
the
carbon
imprint
and
carbon
effect
of
our
transportation
system
is
right.
Now
in
nevada
we
are
the
largest
contributor,
and
so
evs
are
critical
to
do
that.
But
as
we
work
to
deliver
that,
I
always
remember
how
to
replace
that
funding.
C
C
You
have
to
deliver
us
your
plan
by
august
1st
and
then
we'll
tell
you
if
your
plan's
approved
by
september
30th,
and
then
you
can
spend
the
money,
we
knew
that
we
were
going
to
have
to
deliver
this
plan,
so
we
already
were
working
on
bringing
on
a
consultant
and
they
are
on
board
now.
So
when
that
came
out,
we
were
ready
and
they
are
going
to
deliver
our
plan.
C
The
plan
they're
delivering
is
actually
a
full
carbon
kind
of
reduction,
all
fuel
plan,
but
the
first
phase
of
it
is
going
to
be
focused
on
ev,
so
we
can
meet
that
deadline
and
really
start
working
on.
How
do
we
invest
those
easy
funds
best
across
our
state
bridges?
I
already
kind
of
talked
about
it.
We
have
over
more
than
2
000.
C
Most
of
them
are
in
very
good
condition,
but
we
do
have
a
few
that
are
structurally
deficient
and
we
have
some
off
system
bridges
that
will
benefit
from
that
15.
That's
dedicated
funding
to
off
system
bridges,
we're
working
on
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
leverage
that
money?
This
money
is
a
little
bit
different
than
some
of
the
other
programs.
C
Most
of
these
programs,
we're
told
we
have
to
we
have
to
obligate
on
an
annual
basis,
the
full
amount
or
whatever
they
limit
it
to.
We
have
to
obligate
on
an
annual
basis,
and
if
you
don't
obligate
that
it
goes
away
like
I
said
we
always
fully
obligate
our
programs,
this
bridge
funding
we're
allowed
to
collect
it
during
the
time
frame
so
and
we
may
and
we're
looking
and
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
best
use
this?
C
Do
we
collect
it
for
a
year
or
two
to
spend
on
a
bridge
program
where
we
deliver
three
or
four
bridges
or
for
one
bridge
so
we're
working
on
making
sure
that
we
maximize
and
leverage
that
bridge
funding
and
the
flexibility
that
they've
given
the
states
and
then
I'm
just
touching
back
on
one
nevada?
How
are
we
going
to
spend
all
of
this
or
invest?
I
should
say
all
of
this:
additional
funding
is
going
to
go
through
a
data-driven
process.
C
And-
and
we
can
have
a
conversation
around
that
and
we-
and
we
often
do
when
when
the
local
agency
says
well,
I
really
want
this
and
we
can
go
back
and
say
well.
This
one
has
a
higher
priority
because
of
x
y
and
z,
and
they
we
can
all
go
in
eyes,
wide,
open
and
understand
why
what's
being
built
is
being
built
and
when
all
right,
I'm
not
even
really
touch
on
this.
C
This
is
just
we
made
that
on
the
bus
bill
passed,
continuing
resolutions
hurt
it's
really
hard
one
and
one
of
the
things
I
have
told
our
team
because
we're
afraid
that
we'll
be
under
continuing
resolutions
for
a
really
long
time
is:
let's
plan
on
delivering
the
full
program
so
that
when
that
appropriations
bill
gets
passed,
we're
already
ready
to
go
we're
not
caught
on
our
heels,
so
we're
working
on
it,
we're
going
to
be
ahead
and
then
just
bigger,
bigger
picture
funding
awareness
we,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
a
500
million
dollar
annual
shortfall,
actually
bigger
than
that,
and
so
we're
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
recommendations
of
the
awg
as
they
finish
their
work
later
this
year,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
on
that.
C
C
That's
since
2015.
It
hasn't
always
been
this
way.
Our
crashes
have
been
less,
our
crashes
can
be
less,
our
fatalities
can
be
less.
2021
was
the
deadliest
year
in
nevada's
history,
not
just
in
the
decade.
You
see
on
this
on
this
slide,
but
I
believe
in
14
years
and
I
think,
for
a
couple
years
there
we
were
celebrating,
you
can
see
sort
of
their
2016
to
2019.
C
So
where
are
these
crashes
occurring?
This
is
the
total
crash
counts
over
the
last
six
years.
You
are,
it
goes
to
2020
and
it's
only
nine
months
of
2020
that
the
data
always
lag.
So
when
we
start
doing
analytics,
we
do
it
with
the
data
we
have
that's
been
confirmed.
So
2020
is
not
that
low.
It's
just
it's
only
nine
months
of
2020..
C
You
can
see
that
primarily
the
crashes
occur
on
the
local
roads
and
that
would
make
sense
because
our
road
network
is
14
of
the
totals.
So
it
would
make
sense
that
we
would
have
fewer
crashes,
but
if
we're
14
and
we've
got
and
we
carry
50
percent
of
the
crashes
almost
we
need
to
work
on
that.
If
we
look
at
statewide
fatalities,
it's
sort
of
it
sort
of
flips.
C
More
of
the
fatalities,
occur
on
our
network
than
occur
on
the
local
network
and-
and
I
think
that
can
be
largely
attributed
to
the
fact
that,
if
you're
on
a
nevada,
if
you're
on
an
ndot
road,
it's
probably
a
higher
speed
facility,
most
of
those
local
roads
when
we're
talking
about
100
and
over
100
000
miles
of
local
roads.
Most
of
those
local
roads
are
the
roads
right
in
front
of
your
street.
When
you
wake
up
in
the
morning
or
in
front
of
your
house,
you
go
they're.
Lower
volume,
roads,
they're,
lower
speed
roads.
C
C
C
We
don't
have
a
road
in
nevada,
that's
posted
over
80.
in
southern
nevada.
We
don't
have
a
road
posted
over
75.,
so
this
is
citations
for
people
going
at
least
20
miles
an
hour
over
the
speed
limit,
and
it's
alarming
because
it
only
work.
It
only
acknowledges
those
that
actually
got
a
citation,
those
where
the
police
were
there
to
catch
them.
E
C
C
We
report
statistics
on
on
all
safety
across
the
state,
we're
the
federal
responsible
party
responsible
agencies
that
we
report.
So
we
do
look
at
what
are
the
strategies
we
need
to
do
not
just
on
our
roads
but
on
all
corridors
across
the
state,
and
we
are
working
with
not
just
our
local
public
agency
partners,
but
we're
also
really
looking
at
you
know
the
law
enforcement
partners,
the
courts,
everybody.
C
What
do
we
need
to
do
to
really
focus
on
this
and
I'm
going
to
start
talking
about
all
of
the
aspects
of
designing
the
safe
system?
So
when
we
start
thinking
about
a
safe
system,
there
are-
and
I
the
ease
used
to
be-
I
think
it
used
to
be
three
e's.
The
e
we'd
added
some
e's,
because
we
recognized
that
there
are
things
that
we
weren't
thinking
about,
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
and
working
towards,
as
we
really
strive
to
get
to
zero
fatalities.
C
Critical
on
this
we're
not
necessarily
looking
for
zero
crashes,
we're
looking
for
zero
fatalities,
so
in
some
cases,
effort
to
reduce
fatalities
might
result
in
more
rear
end
collisions,
but
if
it
results
in
less
fatalities,
that
is
the
goal
so
something
to
think
about.
As
you
may
hear,
or
have
questions
and
we're
happy
to
always
answer
any
questions
you
have,
but
we're
really
looking
at.
How
do
we
use
these
six
e's?
How
do
we
work
together
and
think
about
these
together?
C
The
first
one
is
and
this
one's
new,
this
one
came
when
we
updated
our
strategic
highway
safety
plan
in
early
2021
and
we
added
equity,
because
we
recognize
that
the
safety
outcomes
on
our
network
are
not
equitable.
They
don't
impact
us
all
in
the
same
way,
and
so
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
put
this
as
one
of
our
guiding
principles
and
are
really
thinking
about
including
equity
in
all
aspects
of
the
plan,
who
will
benefit
from
the
implementation
of
an
action
step?
Who
may
be
negatively
impacted
by
that
implementation?
C
Is
there
a
demographic
or
socioeconomic
data
that
was
considered
in
development
of
our
action
step
as
we
start
to
make
these
recommendations
and
who
was
involved?
Were
we
listening
to
the
same
people
were
listening
to
everyone?
Were
we
listening
to
people
who
were
most
impacted
so
really
considering
equity
as
we
as
we
work
to
make
sure
our
system
is
safe
for
everyone
engineering?
This
one
is
the
this
one
is
true
dear
and
dear
to
my
heart,
because
this
is
the
one
that
I
own
me
and
the
local
public
agencies
the
roads
we
build.
C
How
did
we
build
them
in
the
first
place?
Did
we
design
them
to
be
safe
in
the
first
place?
So
what
are
the
things
we're
doing
to
make
sure
people
stay
in
their
lane?
What
are
we
doing
to
make
sure
that
if
they
leave
their
lane
in
rural
nevada
that
they
can
get
back
on
the
road
and
they're
not
off
in
a
ditch
somewhere?
How
are
we
working
to
increase
pedestrian
safety?
This
picture
my
team,
I
was
like
you
need
to
give
me
a
better
picture
because
it
was
not
around
engineering.
It
was
a
bridge.
C
It
was
bridge
and
steel
and
it
was
cool,
but
it
had
nothing
really
with
the
safety
piece
like
you
got
to
give
me
something,
so
they
gave
me
they're
like
this.
One
isn't
good.
I'm
like
perfect.
Give
me
one
that's
good.
This
is
boulder
highway
and
those
of
us
in
southern
nevada.
If
you
traverse
boulder
highway,
you
know
that
it's
got
a
posted
speed
limit
of
at
least
45
miles
an
hour.
There's
three
travel
lanes
plus
a
wide
shoulder
plus
a
bike
lane.
C
We
are
working
on
a
safe
systems
approach
that
really
looks
too,
and
this
is
what
I
talked
about:
reducing
fatalities,
not
necessarily
reducing
all
crashes.
Safe
systems
should
prevent
all
crashes.
It's
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
system
is
designed
so
that
it
is
safe
for
everyone,
even
if
a
mistake
is
made
so
the
what
you're
looking
at
is
humans
are
humans
and
they
are
going
to
make
mistakes.
C
How
do
we
design
the
system
to
accommodate
those
mistakes,
we're
working
on
it,
we're
delivering
it?
This?
The
space
around
engineering
and
safety
has
evolved
significantly
in
the
last
20
years
and
we're
working
to
evolve
with
it.
The
challenge
is
any
legacy.
Infrastructure
is
really
hard
to
change
so
working
again
on
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
do
that
to
make
sure
the
system
is
safe
for
everyone?
C
The
next
e
is
enforcement.
We
can't
do
this
alone,
it's
not
just
about
the
engineering.
You
know
it's
also,
our
law
enforcement
partners,
they're
critical
in
making
sure
that
people
are
using
the
system
the
way
it's
intended
to
be
used,
and
it's
not
just
the
law
enforcement
out
on
the
street.
Like
you
seeing
these
pictures,
it's
also
in
the
courts
and
ensuring
that
the
courts
are
maintaining
and
holding
up
the
the
structure
and
the
intent
of
the
law
and
then
there's
there's
three
more
sorry,
education.
C
I
talked
about
the
fact
that
we're
now
able,
with
this
with
the
iija
to
start
flexing
some
of
that
funds
back
to
behavioral
programs.
I
talked
about
engineering
and
and
the
engineering
system
that
boulder
highway.
When
you
look
at
that
road
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
there's
no
one
on
it,
you
might
be
tempted
to
drive
a
little
bit
faster.
So
how
do
we
design
it?
So
it
tells
you
what
speed
you
should
be
driving.
You
don't
have
to
look
at
a
speed
limit
sign.
C
That
said,
not
a
single
corridor
in
our
in
our
statewide
network
has
been
designed
for
100
miles
an
hour,
so
that
is
a
behavior.
That
is
an
education,
and
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
really
all
work
on
together.
To
make
sure
everybody
understands
that
you
should
not
use
our
roads
in
that
manner.
They're,
not
a
racetrack
go
out.
We
got
a
beautiful
racetrack
out
at
the
speedway
in
southern
nevada.
C
We
have
a
traffic
incident
management
coalition
that
has
that
works
together
across
the
state
and
does
this
is
actually
a
training
that
they're
doing
they
and
we've
seen
significant
positive
outcomes
of
those
by
responding
faster.
C
We
reduce
the
incidence
of
secondary
crashes,
which
are
also
potentially
fatal,
so
we're
working
on
making
sure
that
we
get
everyone
who
needs
medical
care
to
that
medical
care
as
fast
as
possible
that
we
also
clear
the
road
faster
to
where
they
want
to
go
as
as
they
had
intended,
and
then
the
last
e
is
everyone
and
we're
not
gonna.
We're
not
gonna.
C
Do
this
alone,
every
single
one
of
us
that
enters
the
transportation
system,
be
it
in
a
car,
be
it
on
foot,
be
it
on
a
bike,
be
it
on
a
scooter
or
a
mobility
device.
We
all
have
a
role
to
play
in
making
sure
that
the
system
is
safe
and
we're
going
to
have
to
work
together
to
achieve
those
outcomes
and
make
sure
that
every
single
one
of
us
gets
home
every
single
night
after
we
leave
the
house
in
the
morning
and
then
I
just
have
as
I
wrap
up.
C
C
We've
seen
over
the
course
of
the
last
two
years
that
connectivity
and
keeping
nevada,
safe
and
connected
is
so
critically
important,
we're
humble
and
honored
to
face
the
tasks
ahead
and,
and
we
recognize
that
having
a
reliable
connected
network
will
continue
to
help
pull
nevada
out
of
the
pandemic,
help
keep
our
workforce
vibrant
and
help
fortify
a
healthy
future
for
nevadans,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
your
time
today,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
and
I
know
you
gave
me
a
lot,
but
there
was
a
lot
in
there.
A
D
Thank
you
chair.
My
question
is,
and
first
of
all
just
it's
great
to
hear
that
nevada
is
made
the
top
of
of
some
really
good
lists
and
and
that
we're
performing
above
most
of
the
rest
of
the
country
on
some
of
these
really
important
metrics.
As
far
as
you
know,
providing
infrastructure
to
nevadans.
So
you
know
that's
a,
I
think
something
we
should
all
be
that
you
should
be
very
proud
of,
and
out
should
be
proud
of.
All
of
us
and
you
identified
your
biggest
obstacle,
and
this
is
a
common
theme.
D
Your
biggest
obstacle
to
success
is
is
really
retention
and
recruitment,
and
the
number
one
issue
probably
associated
with
that
is
pay
and
and
benefits.
You
know,
as
a
cabinet
member
and
somebody
we
we
just
saw
us,
kicked
off
our
budget
building
process
today,
and
so
what
are
you
and
you
know,
you're,
sitting
in
front
of
the
legislature
today,
but
what
what
suggestions
you
have
to
address
that
and
what?
What
is?
What
are
you
going
to
be
doing
to
try
to
address
that
issue?.
C
C
How
significant
was
it
was
and
and
understanding
that
it's,
I
don't
think
it's
uncommon
that
state
agencies
get
paid
less
than
local
agencies,
but
we
went
back
and
looked
at
a
thread
that
went
back
to
2009
and
have
found
that
the
state
agencies
are
actually
falling
further
behind
than
they
were
back
then,
so
it
was
identifying
and
really
getting
down
to
that
piece
of
the
problem.
Beyond
that
I
have
in
my
in
my
meetings
with
the
governor's
office,
I
have
provided
suggestions
on
on
potential
paths
forward.
C
I'm
not
the
one
that
can
generate
revenue,
but
I
am
always
able
and
interested
in
having
those
conversations
with
the
departments
that
work
in
that
space
and
and
letting
them
know
where
I
could
see
that
where
we
have
ideas
that
might
be
worth
considering,
but
we
recognize
and
I'll
own
it.
This
is
not.
C
This
is
not
easy.
There's
a
reason
why
we're
in
this
position
and
it's
because
in
order
to
address
it,
you
have
to
address
revenue
and
but
I'm
happy
to
have
the
conversation,
I'm
happy
to
help
walk
the
path
with
you.
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
good
enough
answer,
a
senator
books,
but
I
I'm
I
am.
This
is
not
something.
As
I
told
you
I
I
I
talked
about
it
with
the
team.
A
lot
and
I
just
said:
hey:
let's
focus
on
things
that
I
can
change
and
back
last
fall.
C
They
were
like
that's
not
working,
it
sounds
like
you
don't
care,
it
sounds
like
you're,
not
working
on
our
behalf
and
I'm
like
I
am.
I
am,
and
so
I'm
like,
I
am
beating
this
job
now
like
how
do
we
fix
it,
and-
and
I
know
that
this
coming
legislative
session
is
going
to
be
tough,
there's
a
lot
on
the
plate
to
be
addressed,
including
my
my
own
funding
strategy
for
our
capital
program
or
and
our
maintenance
program,
but
I
I'm
talking
about
it
with
everybody.
B
B
I
got
two
questions
for
you
number
one,
with
the
cost
of
fuel
going
up
the
way
it
is,
it's
dramatically.
That's
going
to
have
a
large
impact
on
your
asphalt
costs.
Is
that
not.
C
It
is
it
is,
you
know
it's
interesting.
When
we
do
bids
the
the
contractor
is
stuck
with
what
they
bid
on
all,
but
a
couple
of
items
and
a
couple
of
items
we
recognize
the
prices
fluctuate
so
dramatically
that
we
come
to
the
table
and
one
of
those
is
is
asphalt,
it's
oil.
So
if
that
asphalt
cost
when
they
buy,
it
is
significantly
more
than
what
they
did.
C
We
do
pay
that
difference
and
it
is
in
our
contracting
documents,
and
so
we
are
concerned
that
we're
going
to
start
seeing
some
significant
impact
and
then
and
again
that
just
goes
back
to
we
don't
have
enough
revenue
and
it
could
impact
our
ability
to
deliver
the
full
program.
But
I'm
I'm
hopeful
that
between
the
iija
and
the
inflation
inflationary
costume
fuel
that
we'll
be
able
to
balance
out.
That
said,
we
I
think
we
all
want
fuel
costs
to
go
down.
B
Thank
you
and
then
the
other
thing
was
was
you
know,
we've
been
bringing
this
up
for
a
long
time
I
seen
more
and
more
and
more
cars
electric
cars
on
the
highway.
The
problem
is,
is
how
do
you
receive?
B
You
know:
fuel
funds
pay
for
the
the
highways.
How
how
do
you
offset
for
what
you're
losing
with
electric
cars
on
the
highway
should
that
be
addressed
with
the
legislature
on
when
they
purchase
electric
cars
and
they
have
to
have
a
special
tax
or
or
something?
But
I
mean
there's
a
lot
a
lot
of
cars
on
there,
they're
not
paying
any
any
road
tax
at
all,
and
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
I'm
looking
at
it
is,
is
a
business
sense
and
you
know
somebody
using
something
they
need
to
pay
for
it.
So.
C
It'd
be
like
turning
on
the
tap
and
drinking
water
you
weren't
paying
for
right,
yeah.
I
think
we
all
get
that.
I
think
we
all
understand
that
and
I'm
I'm
really
happy
of
the
work
that
the
legislature
actually
initiated
back
in
2019
with
the
scr3
committee
and
the
interim
really
looking
at.
How
do
we
address
the
long-term
suppliability
of
the
state
transportation
fund,
and
that
was
prompted,
I
think,
because
of
evs,
but
not
solely
because
of
evs.
C
C
I
am
going
to
come
back
in
june
and
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
more
about
what
what
we've
done,
what
our
process
has
been
and
where
we
are,
but
we
were
tasked
with
looking
at
not
just
the
couple
of
programs
we
looked
at
with
scr
scr3,
but
all
of
the
funding
options
that
are
on
the
table
that
other
state
agents,
other
states
possibly
use.
Other
local
agencies
used
to
really
figure
out.
How
do
we
best
crack
the
nut
on
funding
and
part
of
that
is
evs?
C
I
think
when
we
started
this
effort,
there
was
a
a
thought
that
there
would
be
one
answer.
It
would
be.
Do
this
thing
and
it's
going
to
solve
the
problems
as
we've
gone
down
this
path.
We've
realized
that
it's
probably
going
to
be
a
suite
of
recommendations,
recommendations
to
address
the
short-term
problem,
as
well
as
recommendations
to
address
that
longer-term
problem,
which
is
increased
adoptions
of
evs
and
right
now,
there's
not
a
ton
of
evs
on
the
network,
but
with
fuel
prices.
C
The
way
they
are
with
battery
costs
going
down
and
an
overall
eb
cost
be
coming
down
with
a
more
diversification
of
the
eb
fleet.
We
do
anticipate
that's
going
to
going
to
increase
on
the
significant
rate
so
hold
tight
in
june.
I
hope
to
have
more
information,
and,
yes,
I
am
looking
for
help
the
legislature
to
help
get
it
over
the
finish
line.
Once
we
have
those
recommendations.
B
And
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
you
guys
done
on
immigrant
path.
You
know
that
the
truck
passing
lanes
up
along
that
whole
road,
my
god,
what
a
difference
that
it
just
it's
like
night
and
day
and
then
plus
93..
So
thank
you
so
much.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
There's
a
lot
in
there.
I
guess
one
thing,
so
I
think
he
did
a
great
job
of
explaining
some
of
the
kind
of
the
guaranteed
funds
that
are
coming
to
us.
So
I
guess
my
first
question
would
be.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
competitive
grant
funding
and
your
plan
to
you
know
make
sure
that
we
go
after
as
as
much
of
that
as
possible,
and
I
know
that
some
of
those
come
with
match
requirements
as
well.
C
Yeah,
so
a
couple
of
pieces
of
that
there
are
the
big
grants
raise
infra,
there's
so
there's
big
grants
where
you
can
get.
You
know
significant
significant
money
like
we
got
50
million
for
tropicana
a
couple
of
years
ago,
so
there's
those
grants
and
then
there's
lots
of
like
smaller
grants
and
a
lot
of
these
grants,
don't
even
have
their
programmatic
requirements
written
yet.
So
it's
like
a
whole
extra
bonus
challenge
right
now,
in
this
new
system,
we
have
a
consulting
team.
That's
on
board.
C
That
is
helping
us
evaluate
the
grants,
as
they
come
out,
they're
tracking
and
evaluating
them.
We
work
together
with
our
local
agencies
to
determine
which
grants
are
most
appropriate
for
us
versus
them
and
in
some
cases
we
all
compete
against
each
other,
and
I
I'll
give
you
an
example.
The
raise
grants
are
due
in
mid-april
they've
already
come
out
they're
due
in
mid-april.
We
are
going
to
submit
one,
and
we
know
that
several
local
agencies
are
also
going
to
submit,
grant
applications
and
we're
going
to
write
letters
of
support
for
some
of
those.
C
I
don't
know
that
we'll
write
them
for
all,
but
we
will
write
some
letters
of
support
and
we'll
work
with
our
legislative,
our
federal
delegation,
to
help
them
understand
where
we
see
the
differences
in
them.
The
the
goal
is
to
get
the
money
to
nevada.
It's
not
necessarily
to
get
the
money
exclusively
to
endot
and
a
good
example
of
that
is
is
the
boulder
highway
project,
so
the
city
of
henderson
actually
applied
for
it's
our
corridor,
it's
our
network,
but
they
applied
for
it.
They
got
the
revenue.
C
To
work
with
them
to
make
sure
that
they
can
deliver
the
program
because
we
got
to
come
to
the
table
with
some
money
too.
It
wasn't
everything,
and
so
so
we're
working
and
there's
another
example.
The
rgc
of
southern
nevada
applied
for
an
atc
mtd.
So
that's
one
of
the
smaller
programs
they
applied
for
one
of
those
they
got
it.
It
was
actually
for
us
95
here
in
las
vegas
and
they're,
like
we
need
to
work
with
you
together.
So
so
we
all
work
very
closely.
C
Together
we
wrote
letters
of
support
for
the
two
grant
programs.
I
think
it
was
it
wasn't
raised.
C
I
can't
remember
which
one
it
was
that
city
of
reno
and
carson
city
got
for
the
arlington
bridges
and
for
williams
parkway,
so
we're
constantly
working
together
to
make
sure
we
get
the
money
to
the
state
based
on
the
specific
requirements
of
the
grant,
and
they
all
have
their
own
needs
when
it
comes
to
matching
matching,
is
a
little
bit
more
we're
we're
great
when
it
comes
to
programmatic
matching,
because
so
much
of
our
state
is
federal
land
our
match
requirements
on
most
of
the
federal
funding.
C
That's
programmatic,
is
it's
the
lowest
in
the
nation.
It's
95
on
many
of
those
funds
on
those
that
are
80,
20,
we're
definitely
up
to
80,
but
anything
that
has
a
somewhat
of
a
flexible,
because
our
state
is
so
federally
owned.
We
have
the
lowest
match
requirement
which
helped
us
weather
the
coveted
pandemic.
When
our
state
revenue
fell,
we
had
still
enough
to
make
sure
we
used
all
of
our
federal
funds.
C
On
the
other
hand,
when
it
starts
coming
to
competitive
grants,
there's
frequently
a
request
that
not
only
do
you
come
with
the
minimum,
but
that
you
come
with
extra,
and
so
that's
where
we
again
working
with
the
local
agency.
How
do
we
figure
out
to
come
up
with
a
package
that
shows
that
everybody's
coming
the
table
with
the
revenue
they
have
to
leverage
that
federal
fund
and
show
that
that
it's
not
the
better,
the
feds
aren't
paying
for
it?
95
they're
going
to
come
in
with
30,
and
that's
going
to
finish
it.
C
So
we
we
do
work
together
to
make
sure
that
that
we
use
our
money
as
much
as
we
can
to
leverage
federal
funding
and
get
more
dollars
into
the
state.
Whether
it's
to
me
at
endo,
which
we
love
winning.
G
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that
the
next
question
I
had-
and
you
mentioned
this
I
think
in
a
couple
points
in
the
presentation
you
know
and
and
I
just
wanna-
I
think
this
is
also
was
brought
up
last
session
and
just
want
to
applaud
your
agency
for
being
kind
of
a
leader
in
incorporating
climate
considerations
into
your
overall
agency
strategic
planning
process,
and
so
I
I
think
I
kind
of
know
the
answer
to
this.
G
Carbon
reducing
things
such
as
supporting
electric
vehicles,
some
of
which
are
more
open-ended.
Could
you
speak
about
just
really
briefly
on
how
you're
kind
of
applying
a
climate
lens
to
to
utilizing
some
of
those
funds
to
kind
of
try
and
maximize
that
benefit
wherever
possible?.
C
There's
a
couple
of
things
we're
doing,
I
think,
on
a
high
level,
it's
important
to
note
that
we're
one
of
the
lead
agencies
in
the
state
on
addressing
the
climate
challenge,
because
transportation
is
a
leading
contributor
in
the
state.
Unfortunately,
I'm
a
driver
just
like
you
and
I
like
you
right,
we're
drivers,
we
picked
where
we
lived
and
we
have
to
drive
and
there's
not
a
lot
as
ndot
that
I
can
do
to
change
how
much
people
drive,
but
where
we
can
we're
working
on
doing
that.
C
What
we're
doing
internally
is
we're
really
looking
at
what
our
climate
footprint
is,
and
so
I
challenged
our
team
to
look
at
on
our
projects.
How
do
we
reduce
the
project?
Climate
footprint?
That's
harder,
it
may
come
with
costs,
and
you
know,
and
at
that
at
some
point
we
may
have
to
justify.
We
spent
30
more
on
this
material
because
we
wanted
it
to
be
local,
so
we
could
reduce
its
greenhouse
gas
footprint
of
transportation
right.
So
we're
looking
at
that
and
we
haven't
developed
it
yet.
C
There's
programs
that
we
can
adopt
like
lead-
it's
not
intended
for
transportation,
but
like
that.
So
we're
looking
in
the
space,
that's
how
we're
looking
to
reduce
ours,
but
when
it
comes
to
delivering
our
projects,
I
mentioned
the
one
nevada
plan
and
those
six
goals
and
one
of
those
is
climate
sustainability
and
we
have
criteria
when
I
started
in
2019.
C
We
had
this
plan
we
adopted
in
2018,
and
I
was
like
great
what
happened.
You
got
six
goals,
they're
fantastic.
How
do
you?
How
do
we
develop
projects?
And
they
said
we
gotta
work
on
that
and
I'm
like
all
right?
Can
we
do
it
tomorrow
and
they
said
no,
but
I'm
learning
patience?
It's
not
it's
not
one
of
my
virtues.
It's
some!
Some
people
have
it
not
one
of
mine.
C
The
first
year
they
developed
the
criteria
by
which
the
first
round,
I
would
even
say,
of
criteria
by
which
we
would
measure
those
goals
and
measure
our
projects.
I
think
there's
17
different
criteria
in
there.
The
criteria
I'm
going
to
go
with
preservation,
because
it's
easier.
What
is
the
asphalt
condition
right?
Do
we
have
a
bunch
of
potholes
or
not
like
so
it's
those
types
of
criteria
when
it
comes
to
climate?
We're
we're
not
just
looking
at
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
we're
also
looking
at
runoff
generated
from
our
projects.
C
Are
we
impacting
our
local
streams
and
waters
so
we're
looking
at
all
of
those
things
and
we're
developing
new
criteria?
The
other
thing
we're
doing
is
we're
developing
we're
really
looking
at
how
do
we
weigh
those
criteria
against
each
other
and
and
I'll
I'll?
Give
an
example
in
the
in
the
connecting
community
in
the
access
and
the
providing
mobility
one.
C
A
lot
of
developments
are
now
occurring
on
the
outer
regions
of
our
of
our
community,
and
so,
if
you
build
a
new
interchange,
you
just
created
access
for
a
whole
bunch
of
people,
but
you
also
just
made
a
whole
bunch
of
people
drive
right
like
you
just
added
all
of
these
cars
onto
the
interstate
and
so
we're
working
to
figure
out.
How
do
these
criteria
work
against
each
other?
The
good
news
is
we're
not
the
only
ones
working
on
this.
C
G
Thank
you
very
much.
I
really
appreciate
just
the
background
on
how
that's
being
incorporated
into
your
processes.
Madam
chairman,
I
have
one
more
quick
question.
Thank
you.
The
last
question
I
had
is
just
around
safety,
and
you
know
I.
I
really
appreciate
kind
of
that
run
down
through
the
through
the
ease,
and
you
know
clearly
there's
a
role
for
infrastructure
to
play
in
safety
and
clearly
there's
a
role
in
driver
behaviors.
G
One
thing
that
I
just
wanted
your
perspective
on
is
is
also
the
role
that
vehicles
themselves
play,
and
this
was
something
that
was
kind
of
brought
up
in
earlier
presentations
today.
You
know
the
the
condition
of
the
vehicle
and
some
of
its
safety
equipment.
Of
course
we
make
sure
new
vehicles
have
certain
safety
equipment.
You
know
installed
and
built
in,
but
then
there
are,
you
know
certain
things
like
condition
of
tires
conditions
or
breaks
that
can
impact
some
of
those
stopping
times
and
and
contribute
to
injuries
and
even
fatalities.
G
So
I
was
just
wondering
and
it's
something
that
I
just
don't
see
as
often
in
the
discussion
of
the
vehicle
element
in
safety.
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
had
any
thoughts
on
on
that
topic,
and
I
know
that's
not,
maybe
necessarily
as
closely
connected
within
your
agency's
perspective,
but
since
you're
participating
in
a
lot
of
these
conversations
about
about
safety.
G
If
you
had
any
any
feedback
on
that.
C
You
know,
I
don't
know
that
we
have
that
data
and
I'm,
like,
oh
that'd,
be
a
fascinating,
like
phd
study
like
for
somebody
to
go
really
and
look
into
that,
like
what's
the
impact
and
you're
right,
there
is
an
impact.
I
was
even
thinking
about
it
about
in
relation
to
equity
right,
if
you
have
less
resources,
you're
less
like
not
only
is
your
car
older,
so
it
doesn't
have
all
of
those
safety
features
in
it,
but
you're
less
likely
to
have
the
resources
to
replace
your
tires
or
to
to
do
your
brakes.
C
And
so
are
you
more
inclined
to
be
in
a
crash
in
your
neighborhood?
Now
you
also
probably
like
to
have
more
people
who
are
biking
and
walking
and
and
so
there's
an
equity
piece
of
that
too.
I
don't
know
that
we
have
the
data.
I
do
know
that
it
plays
a
role,
and
I
do
know
that
increasingly
we're
looking
at
these
safer
vehicles,
but
the
safety
of
the
vehicle
can
is
still
subject
to
to
the
programming
it's
still
subject
to
users,
because
we're
still
using
them.
C
I
I
knew
a
person
who
you
know
all
of
our
cars.
Have
beat
right
when
you
don't
put
your
seatbelt
on,
I
knew
a
person
who
disabled
his
beeper
like
how
are
you
a
grown
adult
now
in
today's
day
and
like
you've,
disabled
your
beeper,
because
you
like
I
mean
just
so
there's
still
all
these
other
things,
and
and
so
that's,
why
largely
I'm
more
focused
on?
Did
we
design
a
road
that
tells
you
what
speed
you're
driving
or
are
we
relying
on
the
sign
on
the
side
of
the
road?
C
Because
people
don't
really
look
at
the
signs
unless
they?
I
don't
really
look
at
signs
unless
I'm
looking
to
figure
out
where
I'm
going
or
I
just
passed
a
cop
and
I'm
like?
Oh,
my
god,
have
I
got
the
right
speed
right
like
I
think,
a
lot
of
us
like
you,
don't
look
at
the
signs
unless
you're
lost
or
going
somewhere
and
now
with
navigation.
You
don't
have
to
do
that.
C
The
road
should
tell
you
what
speed
to
travel.
You
should
know
like
if
you,
if
you
travel
to
these
other
communities,
you've
lived
in
any
other
communities.
There's
like
roads.
I
lived
in
dc
for
three
years
and
you
can't
go
in
the
city
more
than
about
25
miles
an
hour
on
many
of
those
roads.
They're
built
differently
our
roads
that
road
right
in
front
of
my
house.
C
Isn't
it's
not
a
lot
smaller
than
some
of
the
arterials
that
we
drive
on
right,
but
it's
posted
at
25.
It
doesn't
tell
me
to
go
25,
so
we're
really
looking
more
at
the
engineering
but
you're
right,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
also
consider
what
what
the
impact
of
the
vehicle
itself
is
and
how
we
might
be
able
to
work
towards
ensuring
that
we're
addressing
that
as
well.
C
Well,
thank
you
and
if
there's
anything
else,
never
hesitate
and
we're
always
happy
to
work
with
any
member
of
the
legislature
when
it
comes
to
issues
regarding
transportation.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
So
much
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
again
in
june
with
that
report
awesome
so
moving
to
the
second
portion
of
this
agenda
item
next
up
we'll
have
miss
mj
maynard,
who
is
the
chief
executive
officer
of
the
regional
transportation
commission
and
also
known
as
rtc
here
in
southern
nevada,
and
she'll,
make
a
presentation
of
what
we're
doing
here
in
southern
nevada
when
it
comes
to
transportation,
traffic
management,
transportation,
planning
and
funding
so
miss
maynard.
The
four
is
yours.
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair,
monroe,
moreno
and
members
of
the
commission,
thanks
for
your
for
your
time
today.
So
in
the
interest
of
time
for
today's
presentation-
oh
let
me
start
here,
okay
and
hang
on.
I
am,
and
at
least
let
me
go
ahead
here
and
swap
yep
okay,
so
I
think
I've
got
that
right.
Okay,
very
good.
So
in
the
interest
of
time
today,
I'm
going
to
again
I'll
be
very
brief
in
terms
of
who
we
are
and
what
we
do.
A
O
Perfect,
okay,
excellent,
okay.
So
again,
I
think
all
of
you
are
aware.
You've
seen
this
slide
multiple
times
we
are
the
public
transit
provider,
the
mpo,
so
the
regional
transportation
planning
agency.
We
are
the
roadway
funding
and
planning
agency
traffic
manager
for
the
region
and,
of
course,
we
implemented
and
oversee
the
bikeshare
program
in
downtown
las
vegas.
O
I
think
all
of
you
are
very
aware,
then,
but
the
rtc
is
run
by
a
regional
board.
Two
members
from
clark
county,
two
members
from
the
city
of
las
vegas,
our
vice
chair
from
city
of
henderson.
We
also
have
a
representation
from
boulder
city
and
mesquite
and
north
las
vegas
excellent
board.
By
the
way,
I
feel
pretty
fortunate.
O
Just
briefly,
I
I
think
we
talked
about
this
even
last
year,
so
again
as
the
traffic
manager
for
the
region,
we
continue
to
manage
during
the
pandemic,
just
the
varying
traffic
flows
on
the
arterials
and
also
in
partnership
with
ndot
on
the
freeway
system.
You
know
overnight.
Thousands
of
southern
nevadans
found
themselves
unemployed
overnight,
and
so
we
were
very
sensitive
to
ensuring
that,
as
those
food
distribution
sites
were
set
up,
that
we
were
able
to
effectively
manage
the
traffic
volume
around
those
sites,
as
well
as
the
vaccination
sites.
O
I'll
tell
you
that
traffic
you
can,
if
you're
driving
here
in
south
america,
you
are
already
aware
that
traffic
volumes
are
where
we
were
pandemic,
particularly
at
the
the
california
nevada
interstate
order.
O
So
we
we
did
not
anticipate
receiving
stimulus
funding
and
so
prior
to
that,
we
had
made
almost
10
million
dollars
worth
of
fixed
service
costs.
When
we
received
the
stimulus
funding,
we
were
able
to
not
only
implement
service
levels
back
to
where
they
were
prepa
pre-pandemic
levels,
but
we
did
it
in
a
different
way.
We
took
advantage
of
of
not
necessarily
putting
the
service
back
the
way
that
it
was,
but
looking
for
opportunities
to
potentially
do
something
different
like
implementing
an
on-demand
service
in
the
southwest
part
of
clark.
O
Canyon
had
never
seen
transit
service
as
well
as
west
henderson
in
north
las
vegas.
We
added
a
brand
new
route.
Another
brand
new
round
south
of
the
southwest
west
henderson
boulder
city
area
increased
frequencies
on
all
of
our
routes,
particularly
folks.
If
you
have
no
other
options
to
move
about
something
about
it
and
you
use
public
transit,
the
number
one.
O
The
number
one
thing
that
our
customers
want
us
to
spend
money
on
if
they're
again
using
public
transit
is
frequency,
and
so
we
we
listened
to
the
customers,
implement
more
more
frequency
and
brought
back
weekend
service
because
we
had
made
a
cut
to
that
during
the
pandemic.
D
A
D
D
For
new
audiences,
thanks
to
federal
stimulus
funding,
we
expanded
to
new
neighborhoods
in
the
valley
booming
with
economic
development.
As
we
have
seen
the
introduction
of
the
bus
route,
it's
opened
up
more
resources
for
people
to
come
here
and
and
choose
amazon's
employer
of
choice.
I
think
what
it
means
to
us
from
an
employer
standpoint
is
we
want
to
make
sure
that.
D
F
F
And
it's
really
it's
just
as
simple
as
pressing
a
button
and
just
going.
I
write
it
monday
through
friday.
Every
day
to
school.
I
do
use
it
occasionally
on
the
weekends
to
go
to
work,
get
groceries,
go
to
certain
appointments
of
some
sort,
and
it's
just
overall.
It's
great
experience.
Even
getting
my
driver's
license
using
rtc
on
a
man.
I'd
probably
end
up
using
that
to
go
there
and
even.
D
What
I
like
about
it
is
that
I
know
where
he
is,
I
know
what
he
has
access
to
and
that
it
also
allows
him
to
be
more
independent
and
we
did
some
of
that
with
rtc
on
demand
a
new
door-to-door
micro
transit
service
in
the
southwest
and
west
henderson
parts
of
the
valley,
my
name's
zach
and
I
use
the
rtc
on
demand
and
it
is
saving
so
much
money
on
my
gas
and
my
car.
I
can
open
up
the
app
get
a
ride
I
can
get
to
and
from
work.
D
I
can
get
from
work
to
go,
hang
out
with
friends.
It
just
makes
everything
easy.
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
gas
or
anything
before
rtc
on
demand
and
game
day
express.
I
haven't
really
used
any
of
the
rtc
services
before
and
it's
been
amazing.
I'm
super
impressed
with
the
wi-fi
it's
easy
to
stay
in
touch
on
the
bus.
Air
conditioning
is
great.
D
In
the
summer,
it's
been
a
great
experience
and
thanks
to
the
clark
county,
department
of
environment
and
sustainability,
our
game
day
express
was
there
for
all
of
the
sunday
and
monday
night
football
too.
But
that's
not
all
in
continuing
our
commitment
to
transition
to
a
zero
emissions
fleet.
We're
excited
to
welcome
our
first
two
hydrogen
fuel
cell
electric
buses.
O
So
I
I
didn't
want
to
make
a
comment
about
that.
You
know
the
fact
christina
director
swallow
talked
about
labor
and
the
labor
shortage,
and
that
is
a
as
an
issue
for
the
last
two
years
here
in
southern
nevada.
Let
me
get
to
the
next
slide.
O
Here
we
go
okay,
so
sorry
about
that.
So
director
swallow's,
correct,
we've
seen
a
labor
shortage
here
in
terms
of
how
we
provide
our
transit
service.
You
know
we
thought
it
was
just
the
pandemic.
There
was
a
labor
shortage
because
of
that,
but
it
has
been
sustained
and
ongoing
so
much
so
that
we
had
to,
as
of
february,
22nd
reduce
our
transit
service
to
a
saturday
schedule.
What
does
that
mean?
O
That
means
that
we
are
providing
a
substandard
service
right
now
to
our
community,
particularly
those
folks
again
that
rely
on
us.
We
also
worked
in
conjunction
with
the
school
district.
Their
labor
shortage
was
actually
more
severe
than
ours,
and
so
we
identified
15
high
schools
that
are
that
are
aligned
on
one
of
our
transit
routes.
We
were
able
to
assist
today
there's
about
a
thousand
students
that
are
utilizing
rtc
to
get
to
school,
but
what's
been
really
interesting
and
actually
exciting.
O
Is
that
these
students
we
can
track
not
the
individual
student,
but
we
can
track
how
the
student
travels
and
we're
seeing
that
the
students
are
are
utilizing
the
transit
system
to
not
only
get
to
school,
but
also
they're,
using
it
on
the
weekends
and
they're
using
it
at
night
for
after
school
activities
in
order
to
get
to
work.
So
I
feel
like
we're
sort
of
developing
our
these
young
trans
writers,
and
it's
it's.
O
I
think
again,
you
heard
the
young
man
say
they
never
used
transit
until
they
had
the
opportunity
to
and
then
of
course
we
listened
to
our
our
customers
and
working
with
clark
county
as
a
traffic
manager,
the
public
transit
agency,
the
ability
to
to
get
everybody
to
leave
their
cars
at
home
in
the
outlying
areas,
put
them
all
on
one
bus
and
get
into
the
allegiance
stadium
or
t-mobile.
Not
only
again,
it
helps
that
customer
experience,
but
we're
really
removing.
For
example,
we
move
a
lot.
O
We
move
almost
3
500
raiders
fans
to
the
gaming
sunday
and
if
each
raider
fan
or
as
a
couple
decided
to
drive
to
the
two
elite
stadium,
rather
than
get
on
our
bus,
we
probably
eliminated
at
least
600
vehicles
in
and
around
the
state,
just
for
that
game
day,
game
day
service.
So
it
we
feel,
like
it's
a
home,
run
both
from
again
keeping
cars
in
their
garages
at
home,
for
not
only
a
sustainability
sort
of
climate
action
opportunity,
but
also
as
a
traffic
manager.
O
It
really
helps
the
congestion
and
so
to
move
on
to
maryland
parkway.
We
are
moving
along.
The
we've
been
working
closely
with
our
contractors,
we're
working
on
the
engineering
and
final
design
for
the
proposed
marine
parkway
bus,
rapid
transit
project.
A
final
design
should
be
completed
in
early
2023,
and
then
we
are
also
applying
for
federal
funding
this
year
to
pay
for
a
portion
of
the
project
construction
again,
which
is
anticipated
again
early
2023.
O
And
so
you
know,
I
I
forgot
to
mention-
and
I
think
it's
noteworthy-
that
during
the
pandemic,
while
riders
ridership
around
the
united
states
dropped
significantly
at
every
single
system
here
in
southern
nevada,
we
probably
saw
the
lowest
drop
in
ridership
and
again
that
speaks
to
the
number
of
essential
workers
that
we
move
in
and
around
our
service
economy.
O
We
continue
the
most
recent
national
transit
databases
as
of
2019.
Again
we
are
number
one
lowest
in
operating
cost
number
one
and
lowest
subsidy.
So
less
taxpayer
money
goes
into
providing
each
trip.
We
have
the
highest
fair
box
recovery
ratio.
What
does
that
mean?
We're
collecting
more
money
at
the
fare
box
than
than
that
98
of
our
of
our
transit
peers?
And
then
people
are
always
surprised
to
learn
that
we
have
the
12th
busiest
bus
system
in
the
united
states.
O
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
the
roadway
side
of
the
house,
so
this
is
what
we're
doing
with
the
money
that
many
of
you
supported.
As
of
january
22,
2022
583
projects
have
been
awarded
and
330
have
been
completed.
78
local
small
businesses
have
been
put
to
work.
Nearly
1.85
billion
has
been
spent
in
roadway
projects
and
then
that's
created
more
than
13
000
jobs
through
fri.
We
work,
of
course,
with
the
local
entities.
O
The
contractors
with
the
unions
and
others
like
nb
energy,
to
help
fund,
build
and
maintain
the
roads
that
we
all
use
every
day
and
fri
has
not
only
been
a
critical
part
in
improving
our
roadways
here
in
southern
nevada,
but
it's
helped
create
thousands
of
jobs,
and
we
think
that
is
probably
the
best
benefit
just
some
background.
The
10-year
extension,
the
tenure
extension
to
index
fuel
tax
to
inflation,
will
end
in
2026
and
so
there's
an
opportunity
actually
legislatively
we're
required
to
go
back
to
the
bound
in
2026
by
way
of
the
county
commission.
O
And
so
the
rtc-
I
you
know
again
thanks
to
director
swallow
and
her
emphasis
on
safety.
It
is
a
big
deal.
Our
roadways
are
getting
exceedingly
more
dangerous
every
single
year,
and
so
we
are
working
closely
with
many
partners
on
a
variety
of
safety
and
technology
projects.
Director
swallow
mentioned
the
what's
happening
on
us
95
we
are
working,
it's
actually
it's
a
grant
and
she
writes
the
atc
mtd
grant.
O
Don't
ask
what
that
means.
You
know
we're
all
about
acronyms
here
in
government,
but
the
us
95
integrated
safety
technology
corridor
between
I-15
and
summerlin
parkway
is
a
joint
project
between
the
rtc
and
nevada
state
police,
unlv
and
then
a
private
partner
company
called
recore
key
components
included
in
this
grant.
Funded
project
will
include
wrong-way
driving
warning
systems
and
strategic
traffic
management
sites
for
law
enforcement.
O
We're
also
going
to
be
pursuing
funding
to
upgrade
modernize.
The
central
traffic
signal
consult
control
software,
so
you
know
we
work
closely
with
the
jurisdictions.
It
is
their
equipment
there's
over
1600
signalize
intersections
here
in
southern
nevada.
We
manage
the
all
the
cities
that
county
their
equipment,
but
it's
sort
of
a
hodgepodge
of
outdated
equipment.
So
we
are
looking
to
look
for
funding
in
the
infrastructure
bill
again
to
upgrade
the
entire
system
and
then
we're
also
we're
looking
to
test
new
technologies
in
something
called
advanced
intersection
analytics.
O
O
They
are
there's
red,
light
running,
there's
speeding
all
those
things
we'll
be
able
to
take
that
data
and
provide
that
to
that
data
to
either
all
the
jurisdictions
that
potentially
it's
looking
for
a
roadway
safety
design,
upgrade
or
providing
that
data
to
nevada,
state
police
or,
in
this
case,
metro
where
they
can
help
them
with
their
implement
more
of
their
their
enforcement
efforts.
O
And,
of
course,
at
the
rtc
safety
for
albert
for
all
road
users,
it's
not
just
about
the
car
or
the
transit
rider,
it's
also
about
pedestrians
and
cyclists,
and
so
we
are
partying
with
local
jurisdictions
to
implement
complete
streets
projects
throughout
southern
nevada,
that
that
will
improve
walkability
and
cycling
opportunities
along
key
roadways
over
the
next
few
years.
The
work
will
continue
with
over
20
bike
and
pedestrian
projects,
totally
more
than
80
million
dollars
planned
or
in
progress.
O
O
So
finally,
we're
looking
long-term
we've
identified
several
new
planning
studies
that
will
inform
where
and
how
we
build
new
bike.
Pedestrian
infrastructure,
such
as
the
sun,
nevada
mission,
zero
action
plan,
we're
also
working
on
a
regional
walkability
plan
and
then
an
update
to
the
regional
bicycle
plan.
O
So,
as
I
said
earlier,
we
had
no
idea
that
that
relief
was
on
its
way
in
terms
of
federal
stimulus
funding,
and
I
have
to
a
huge
shout
out
to
our
federal
delegation.
They
worked
really
hard
to
deliver
the
scheduled
funding
to
our
state
at
a
critical
time,
and
so
between
the
karazhak
chris
and
the
american
rescue
plan.
We
anticipate
receiving
303
million
dollars
we've
drawn
down.
O
Quite
frankly,
almost
all
of
it
we
were
one
of
the
first
in
the
we
were
the
first
transit
agency
in
the
united
states
to
obligate
our
american
rescue
plan
money.
So
it
it's
it's
very
though
this
you
know
when
people
hear
hey
rtc
received
over
303
million
dollars,
so
where's
my
where's,
my
light
rail
system.
It's
it's
important
to
note
that
this
stimulus
money
is
very
prescriptive
and
how
we
use
it
and
when
we
use
it
and
so
the
fta,
the
federal
transit
administration,
said
rtc
we're
going
to
give
you
this
money.
O
But
you
have
to
make
sure
that
you
bring
your
transit
service
service
levels
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels,
and
we
did
that.
As
I
mentioned,
we
added
new
routes
and
the
on-demand
source
that
you
saw
in
the
video,
and
it
was
also
to
the
transit
agencies.
You
make
sure
you
use
that
money
to
bring
back
all
the
employees
that
were
laid
off
and
furloughed,
and
we
did
that
as
well.
The
funding
is
to
be
used
additionally
to
continue
the
the
sanitization
efforts
that
are
currently
underway
and
we'll
continue.
That's.
O
O
Other
things
have
changed
too:
not
only
did
we
receive
the
you
know
the
303
million
dollars
in
stimulus,
but
we
also
have
seen,
I
think,
every
business,
public
or
private
sector
here
in
nevada
has
seen
an
increase
in
sales
tax,
a
sales
tax
and
sales
tax
by
the
way,
just
as
a
reminder
to
fund
public
transit
here
in
southern
nevada
that
there's
two
main
sources
of
funding.
One
is
sales
tax
and
the
other
is
passenger
pairs.
O
So
we've
seen
a
much
needed
increase
in
sales
taxes
up
over
21
compared
to
2019.
O
We
normally
anticipate
about
three
and
a
half
percent
increase
in
sales
tax
every
single
year,
so
very
significant,
and
then
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
bill.
We
anticipate
receiving
150
million
dollars
in
new
funding
over
the
next
five
years
about
80
million
dollars
in
new
funding
for
transit
and
about
70
million
dollars
in
new
funding
for
our
mpo
for
planning,
anaerobic
projects
and
then
just
briefly
this
these
this
is
our
fiscal
year.
2022
budgeted
funding
sources
as
you
again,
you
can
see
we're
primarily
funded
by
fuel
taxes
and
sales
tax
made
up
of
grants.
O
Fares
bond
proceeds
so
total
funding
sources
for
20
to
662
million
dollars
and
then
funding
uses
our
funding.
Users
consist
mainly
of
I
guess:
it's
not
oh,
the
slide's
not
actually
showing
it,
but
the
two
big
blue
slices
that
you
see
there.
It's
capital,
outlay,
44
and
contract
services
at
seven
percent
made,
then
the
rest
is
made
up
of
debt
service
at
twelve
percent
and
then
sellers
and
benefits
seven
percent.
O
I
think
I'm
probably
getting
known
for
these
this
this
graph,
these
red
bars-
and
I
know
that
you
saw
this
last
year
and
they
the
preceding
year,
but
this
this
graph
represents
our
projected
budget
deficit
pre-pandemic
and
we
we
were
looking
at
a
shortfall
beginning
as
early
as
2020.
O
and
again
for
the
rtc.
We
had
demands
we're
business
people
we
had
to
manage
to
the
budget
budget,
and
so
we
had
to
address
that
30
million
dollar
deficit.
We
we
also
had
for
a
little
lamp
about
15
of
our
workforce.
Everybody
took
a
pay
cut,
we
cut
contracts,
we
eliminated
capital
projects
and,
of
course,
we
unfortunately
had
to
reduce
our
transit
service.
O
But
the
good
news
is
that
we've,
of
course,
because
of
the
miss
funding,
the
increased
sales
tax
and
money
through
the
infrastructure
bill.
We
have
seen-
and
let
me
hit
this
because
red
is
not
good
so
that
funding
deficit
that
we
saw
and
happened
as
early
as
2020
has
now
been
pushed
off
to
fiscal
28..
O
It's
important
to
note
that
this
is
what
we
know
today.
So
this
is
projection
based
on
what
we
know
that
the
deficit
of
31
million
dollars
will
happen
in
2028.
Now
we
would
never
wait
until
2028
to
lop
off
31
million
dollars
in
transit
service,
so
we
anticipate
starting
to
make
some
of
those
reductions
in
transit
services
early
as
2025.,
so
some
take
some
takeaways
from
this
slide.
O
It
imports
note
that
additional
federal
money
and
increased
sales
tax
certainly
delayed
that
fiscal
cliff
that
we've
been
dealing
with
for
a
number
of
years
here
at
the
rotc,
the
transistors
levels
that
we're
offering
today,
even
even
when
we
get
back,
we
are
able
to
hire
enough
drivers
to
bring
our
service
levels.
Our
transit
service
levels
back
to
where
they
they
need
to
be.
We
still,
our
transit
service,
still
has
not
been
able
to
keep
up
with
the
population
growth
and
demand.
O
So
it
really
is
it's
sub-optimal
at
best,
a
new
funding
source
of
budget
cuts,
including
because
the
transit
service
will
need
to
be
made
if
we're
not
able
to
identify
funding
and
I'll
get
I'll
talk
about
in
the
next
slide.
O
Oh
that's
31!
That's
that's
our
deficit
here
so
before
we
wrap
up.
I
do
want
to
talk
about
our
plans
with
respect
to
federal
and
state
legislative
priorities
for
2022
and
2023.
So
as
of
february
2022,
we
have
worked.
We
have
worked
as
a
team
internally
and
then
also
reached
out
to
the
the
jurisdictions,
because
regionalism
really
will
will
be
more
competitive
in
terms
of
receiving
and
being
awarded
money
from
the
funding
from
the
infrastructure
bill.
O
Internally,
we've
identified
about
40
projects
across
24
potential
funding
sources
and
we're
currently
again
working
with
local
entities
and
then
and
ndot
to
compile
a
comprehensive
statewide
list
of
transportation
priorities
to
identify
possible
partnership
opportunities
for
the
the
highly
competitive
grant
program.
So,
aside
from
the
150
million
dollars
that
we
expect
to
receive
through
the
formula
increase
for
the
funding,
there
is
one
billion
dollars
worth
of
competitive
grants
available
and
we
are.
O
O
So
knows
the
funding
opportunity
for
the
raise
grant
program
we
expect
to
apply
prior
to
the
april
14th
deadline,
we're
also
anticipating
the
release
of
no
post
for
the
bus
and
bus
facilities,
grant
and
also
a
low,
no
emissions
program
which
is
going
to
be
critical
for
transitioning
and
maintaining
our
fleet
to
zero
emission
vehicles.
So
we
have
over
800
buses.
We
put
together
a
zero
emission
plan
and
zero
mission
vehicle
plan
that
if
funding
is
available,
we'll
be
able
to
transition
our
fleet
to
two
zero
mission
vehicles
by
2035..
O
Again,
without
this
federal
stimulus
funding
that
we
were
seeing
this
additional
money,
we
would
not
be
able
to
even
start
advance
this
plan.
So
the
conservative
cell
is
very
very
lucky
again
on
behalf
of
our
federal
delegation.
O
And
then,
looking
ahead
to
the
2023
legislative
session,
we
remain
focused
on
short
and
long-term
funding
needs,
so
a
variety
of
options
are
available
to
us
to
pursue
legislative
solutions
to
help
address
these
challenges.
O
Again,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
fuel
revenue
indexing
will
expire
in
2026.
So
this
means
we'll
know
we'll
need
to
go
to
the
ballot
to
continue
this
key
component
of
our
ability
to
not
only
maintain,
but
also
improve
our
values
about
a
roadway
system
and
then,
given
the
decline
of
purchasing
power
of
the
gas
tax.
The
increasing
and
director
swallow
mentioned
this
as
well.
The
increasingly
fuel
efficient
nature
of
new
vehicles
and
the
ship
to
alternative
people
such
as
hybrids,
electric
and
hydrogen
fuel
cell
electric
electric
vehicles.
O
O
I
think
many
of
you
are
aware
that
this
was
a
committee
we
had
in
place
for
five
years,
part
of
the
pandemic
that
helped
us
advance
our
ability
to
help
us
advance
fri
and
all
the
efforts
around
that,
and
so
we
brought
them
back
they're
they're,
going
to
help
us,
as
as
we
look
to
enhance
transportation
infrastructure
here
in
southern
nevada,
to
accommodate
the
future
on
current
growth
and
then
the
track
members
they'll
provide
their
input
and
guidance
on
rtc's
vision
and
priorities
and
alignment
with
the
region's
transportation
needs
and
and
they're
going
to
help
us
make
recommendations
to
our
rotc
board
of
commissioners.
O
The
track
membership
consists
of.
I
think
it's
33,
very
thoughtful
and
committed
leaders
here
in
southern
nevada.
They
represent
gosh
large
sectors.
We've
got
businesses,
unions,
community
groups,
really
businesses
and
stakeholders
that
are
impacted
by
transportation,
related
issues.
O
We
held
our
first
meeting
of
2022
on
february
24th
and
plan
on
wrapping
up
by
the
end
of
the
year
track
is
tasked
with
making
recommendation
to
the
rtc
board
to
address
transportation,
funding
solutions
and
priority
projects
for
the
community
and,
if
approved
by
the
board,
we
may
pursue
one
or
more
legislative
fixes
to
address
our
funding
issues
in
the
next
legislative
session,
and
with
that
that
is
the
conclusion
of
my
report.
Unless
you
have
any
questions
for
me,.
A
Oh,
you
might,
I
see,
no
hands
raised.
O
And
lis,
I
am
we're
available
to
you
all
the
time
we
you
know
rely
on
on
your
on
your
inside
and
your
your
leadership
and,
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
now
or
in
preparation
for
the
next
legislative
session.
Of
course,
we're
here
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
help.
A
Thank
you.
We
appreciate
that
it
was
good
to
see
you
enjoy
the
remainder
of
your
day,
nice,
to
see
you
too
awesome
and
now.
Last
but
not
least,
mr
thomas,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
patience
with
us
today.
Our
final
presentation
will
be
with
mr
bill.
Thomas
he's,
the
executive
director
of
the
rtc
from
marshall
county,
and
he
will
have
a
presentation
he's
one
of
our
four
mpos
in
our
state.
So
the
floor
is
now
yours.
F
Thank
you,
chair
monroe
moreno
and
I
appreciate
all
of
you
giving
me
a
few
moments.
I
know
you've
been
listening
now
for
four
hours,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
be
maybe
a
little
more
succinct
than
I
planned
on
being
originally.
But
first
question
is:
can
you
see
my
screen.
F
Good
afternoon
committee
members,
as
the
chair
said,
my
name
is
bill.
Thomas
I'm
executive
director
of
the
rtc
washoe,
I'm
going
to
do
a
presentation
that
very
much
parallels
what
ceo
maynard
did
and
to
some
degree
what
director
swallow
did.
The
main
thing
I
would
say,
as
you
listen
to
our
presentation,
is
we're
very,
very
similar
to
southern
about
rtc,
but
obviously
different
in
scale.
F
We
have
a
board
similar
to
rtc
southern
nevada.
That's
made
up
of
elected
officials.
Our
board
is
slightly
smaller,
though
we
have
five
members,
two
that
are
from
the
city
of
reno
two
that
are
from
the
county
commission
of
washoe
county
and
one
who
is
the
chair
or
I'm
sorry,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
sparks.
F
In
addition,
director
swallow
sits
on
our
board
as
an
ex
officio
member
to
participate
in
our
deliberations
and
in
our
efforts
like
rt,
southern
southern
nevada.
We
have
three
core
services
we
provide,
and
I
wanted
to
talk
about
those
here
at
the
beginning.
But
before
I
do,
I
know
you
started
your
meeting
with
a
couple
of
public
comments
from
individuals
who
live
in
northern
nevada,
and
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
both
ms
glass
and
ms
martinez
are
known
to
us.
F
Their
comments
today
were
things
I
hadn't
heard,
but
we
will
follow
up
with
them
and
we
may
have
already
by
now
contacted
them.
So
I
want
to
assure
you
their
concerns
will
be
listened
to
to
the
extent
there's
things
we
can
do
to
address
them.
F
We
will
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
particulars
right
now,
but,
as
I
go
through
our
presentation,
I
will
answer
some
of
the
information
that
was
presented,
which
isn't
quite
accurate
in
terms
of
how
we
operate,
but
I
did
want
to
offer
to
anybody
on
the
committee
if
they
would
like
to
dive
deeply
into
how
we
operate,
particularly
our
access
system,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
do
that
either
through
a
phone
call
emails.
However,
you
would
like
to
dig
deeper.
F
We
have
contractors
that
provide
our
service
contractors
also
do
the
design
and
we
oversee
them
for
construction
of
the
project,
so
we're
a
very
small
organization
relatively
about
64
people
that
does
several
hundred
million
dollars
worth
of
work
each
year
and
our
model,
which
has
been
in
place
pretty
much
from
the
beginning
and
has
been
very
successful
for
the
public,
both
in
terms
of
what
the
public
dollar
gets,
but
as
well
as
how
much
gets
done
has
been
to
use
a
contractor
service
provider
model.
F
F
So
on
our
fixed
route
system,
which
is
the
biggest
part
of
our
transit
system,
we
do
about
8
million
8
million
riders
a
year,
and
that
was
before
pandemic.
I'm
going
to
talk
in
a
minute
about
what
happened
during
the
pandemic,
but
that
is
the
backbone
of
our
system.
F
Our
access
paratransit
system,
not
unlike
everybody
else
in
the
country,
is
really
driven
and
guided
by
the
federal
transit
administration,
and
essentially,
they
lay
out
the
guidelines
for
how
we
operate,
as
well
as
the
americans
with
disability
act,
so
that
particular
service
is
not
one
that
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
or
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
create
our
own
version
of
how
it
works.
It's
very
prescriptive
and
I
can
assure
you
we
follow
all
those
rules.
If
you
didn't,
we
wouldn't
be
getting
fta
money
and
then
last.
F
Lastly,
lastly,
and
you
heard
ceo
maynard
talk
about
it-
we've
had
a
flex
ride
service
for
a
few
years
now,
which
really
is
that
that
third
leg
of
the
public
transit
store
between
the
fixed
route
system,
which
are
large
40-person
buses
that
are
very
much
fixed
in
terms
of
where
they
go
for
the
most
part
and
then
the
paratransit,
which
is
really
only
available
for
people
who
are
disabled
and
qualified.
So
this
third
version
is
really
the
a
version
of
it's,
not
door-to-door,
that
best
be
described
as
curve
to
curve.
F
F
The
paratransit
is
designed
where
you
call-
and
you
schedule
the
time
to
be
picked
up
at
your
door
and
then
taken
to
the
door
where
you're
going
the
micro
transit
is
a
geographically
constrained,
smaller
area,
that's
basically
added
onto
the
fixed
route
that
takes
you
generally
from
the
curb
or
in
your
neighborhood
to
another
place
within
that
service
area,
so
they're,
very
distinct
services
that
serve
very
different
purposes.
F
I
would
point
out
to
you
that
a
couple
of
things,
first
of
all,
all
of
our
trans
and
all
three
of
these
are
funded
by
the
county's
field
sales
tax.
So
this
is
taxpayer
money
that
pays
for
these
services
in
our
county,
we're
not
nearly
as
good
or
as
good
a
position
in
southern
nevada.
F
Seven
percent
of
revenue
we'd
have
to
pick
up
if
we
did
that
or
we'd
have
to
cut
service
by
way
of
example,
in
our
cost,
so
our
ride
the
fixed
route
system,
the
cost
for
that
is
about
eight
dollars
and
fifty
cents
per
ride.
The
flex
ride
the
second
or
the
third
method.
I
talked
to
you
about
that
costs
us
almost
twenty
three
dollars
a
ride
and
the
paratransit
access
costs.
F
And,
as
you
can
imagine,
since
tax
dollars
are
defined
by
formula,
we
have
to
figure
out
how
best
to
manage
the
funds
we're
giving
which
are
an
absolute
given,
which
are
an
absolute
to
provide
the
service
in
our
community.
And
that's
what
we
struggle
to
do
and
I
think,
we're
very
effective
at
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
F
So
I
wanted
to
talk
again
about
covet
and
just
give
you
some
some
perspective
on
what
happened
to
us
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
the
maximum
level
of
decrease
from
ridership
that
we
saw
during
private
was
about
65,
so
two
out
of
the
three
people
that
were
riding
the
longer
road.
F
We
also
saw
when
you
look
at
the
bottom
left
that,
as
of
today,
we're
still
sitting
at
about
30
percent
37
percent,
almost
40
percent,
less
riders
than
we
had
before
the
pending
part
of
that
when
you
look
at
the
world
of
public
transportation,
is
that
the
bulk
of
our
services,
the
people
who
don't
have
choice,
a
lot
of
people
that
are
in
a
position
either
because
of
their
physical
or
mental
limitations
or
because
of
their
income
level,
not
only
in
cars
or
not
having
a
driver's
license
or
not
being
able
to
get
a
driver's
license?
F
They
use
our
system,
and
so
what
we
found
during
the
pandemic.
Is
it
really
defined
the
core
people
who
use
our
transit
system
and
the
big
challenge?
I
would
say
particularly
talk
about
climate
change
and
I'll
mention.
What
we've
done
is
we
have
to
find
a
way
not
only
here,
but
I
think
would
probably
be
true
to
some
degree
in
southern
nevada
across
the
state
how
to
get
people
onto
the
bus.
F
F
The
last
two
things
I
want
to
talk
about-
and
I
think
both
christina
and
mj
talked
about.
It
is
the
drivers,
so
we
lost
as
a
result
of
cove,
but
only
over
30
of
our
drivers,
which,
as
you
can
imagine,
in
a
bus
system
or
transit
system,
that's
very
dependent
on
drivers
having
drivers
that
made
it
very
difficult
for
us
to
meet
the
service
demands,
because
we
simply
couldn't
put
the
buses
and
the
transit
vehicles
on
the
road.
F
Since
then,
we've
been
able
to
add
back
very
aggressively
up
to
the
point
now
we're
about
20
percent
less
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
we're
struggling
with
everybody
else
in
our
economy
trying
to
get
people
to
come
to
work.
So
we
don't
have
a
real
special
formula
to
say
you
know
with
everybody
not
having
the
ability
or
having
the
difficulties
of
finding
employees
we're
in
the
same
boat.
So
it
is
something
that
we're
dealing
with
something
we're
working
very
aggressively
on,
but
something
that's
just
the
reality
of
our
world
today.
F
The
other
point
which
again
is
reiterating
what
you've
already
heard
is
the
increasing
cost
of
capital
in
these
numbers
do
not
reflect
what's
going
on
with
the
cost
of
oil
and
has
has
been
mentioned,
the
fact
that
asphalt
and
everything
to
do
with
construction
is
going
up.
I
would
share
that.
F
F
Hopefully
it
won't
last
long,
but
very
briefly,
so
right
now,
as
a
rule
of
thumb,
just
to
give
you
perspective,
is
it
costs
about
10
million
dollars
to
build
the
road
a
mile
of
road,
and
we
have
a
system
now,
that's
478
miles.
F
So
if
you
do
the
mac
math
it's
about
a
4.7
billion
dollar
system,
not
saying
we
have
to
replace
that
all
at
once.
But
it
gives
you
some
perspective
on
the
fact
that
if,
if
you're
spending
10
million
to
do
one
mile,
it's
a
very
large
issue
looming
in
the
future
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
maintain
and
build
the
roadway
network,
we're
going
to
need
for
the
growth
in
our
state.
F
One
of
the
things
that
was
an
advantage
for
us
during
cobit
is
we
had
a
project,
our
virginia
street
bus,
rapid
transit
edition.
It's
a
really
critical
part
that
connects
the
university
of
nevada
through
the
core
of
our
our
downtown
and
ultimately
to
one
of
our
major
commerce
centers
and
to
meadowwood
mall,
which
is
one
of
our
two
big
regional
malls.
F
During
the
pandemic,
we
made
a
decision
consulting
with
some
of
the
businesses
to
not
phase
that
project.
Normally,
when
you
build
a
road,
you
would
close
down
one
side,
basically
disrupt
half
the
people
and
then
close
down
the
other
side
and
disrupt
the
other.
Half
later
we
met
with
all
of
the
people,
and
we
said
well,
you
know,
businesses
were
closed.
Business
was
slow.
F
This
would
be
the
perfect
time
to
shut
the
road
down
fully
totally
and
get
it
done,
and
we
were
very
lucky
that
the
people,
the
business
community,
was
very
supportive
of
that.
It
allowed
us
to
build
that
road,
not
only
17
months
ahead
of
schedule,
but
we
saved
over
28
million
dollars,
which
we
have
been
working
with
the
fta
to
be
able
to
repurpose
back
into
our
community.
So
not
everything
bad
about
the
pandemic
was
painful.
F
F
F
This
graphic
shows
you
that
we're
spending
77
percent
over
the
next
five
years
within
qualified
census
tracks
for
adjacent
to
her
next,
and
so,
I
would
say
very
proudly
in
washoe
county-
are
spending
the
money
where
we
think
the
federal
government
we
think
the
state
government.
We
know
our
local
community
wants
to
spend
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
you.
F
Very
quickly
on
the
covet
money,
so
we
got
about
45
million
dollars
in
total
in
three
tranches
we
are
as
of
this
month.
We
will
have
spent
all
of
that,
and
I
think
it's
something
that
you
may
not
know,
but
I
think
you
should
be
proud
of
us
here
in
nevada,
including
southern
nevada,
rtc,
because
it
is
a
typical
for
our
public
agencies
to
have
spent
all
of
their
coveted
fund,
and
we
both
have
done
that
or
will
have
done
that
very
soon.
So
what
did
it
mean
to
us
here
at
rtc
washoe?
F
It
allowed
us
to
not
lay
off
any
of
our
drivers,
so
we
kept
the
drivers
working
through
that
65
ridership
drop
off
that
I
mentioned,
and
typically
what
you
would
do
is
cut
back
the
service
of
people
who
weren't
riding.
We
did
that
with
intent,
both
from
the
standpoint
of
keeping
people
employed,
but
also,
and
just
as
important
as
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
weren't
crowded
on
buses.
F
It
was
an
essential
trip
for
them,
but
it's
also
important
to
us
that
we
maintain
the
ridership
as
best
we
could,
through
this
unique
time,
so
a
couple
of
different
things
that
we
have
done
as
far
as
federal
money,
because
I
know
that's
one
of
the
topics
of
conversation
here
we
got
a
grant
department
of
transportation
grant
for
one
of
our
bridges.
F
We
also
got
a
grant
we're
a
bit
behind,
but
we're
on
a
parallel
track
with
southern
rad
rtt
rtc
to
get
two
hydro:
hydrogen
fuel
cell
buses
and
refueling.
So
we've
moved
down
that
path.
I
would
share
with
you
that
we've
had
electric
buses
since
2014,
so
we
are
very
early
adopter.
F
Hopefully,
in
the
next
couple
months
we
will
be
100
alternative
fuel
with
our
whole
fleet,
so
we're
very
much
an
early
adopter
of
alternative
fuels
and
the
benefit
to
the
environment.
We
will
continue
to
do
that.
The
good
thing
is
we're
well
ahead
of
most
places
in
the
country.
F
I
think
bend
was
his
name
that
had
talked
to
you
about
the
federal
dollars
and
how
the
majority
of
it's
going
to
come
out
through
processes
that
are
already
in
place.
Well,
these
are
a
lot
of
those,
and
I
can
assure
you-
and
I
know
the
state-
and
I
know
rtc-
southern
nevada
and
the
mpos
are
very
much
in
tune
to
how
to
use
those
processes
to
get
money
into
our
state
either.
All
of
ours.
That's
that's
equitably
ours,
as
well
as
those
competitive
grants
that
we've
been
talking
about.
F
So,
very
quickly,
on
terms
of
how
we're
funded
45
of
our
operation,
our
capital
is
funded
by
the
fuel
tax.
We've
had
a
fuel
tax
index
fuel
tax
since
2009,
so
again
an
early
adopter
in
having
index
fuel
tax.
It's
been,
it's
allowed
us
to
do
many
of
the
things
we
needed
to
do
we're
strong
supporters
of
that
and,
if
asked
by
the
legislature,
we
would
highly
encourage
all
other
counties
in
the
state
to
index
their
fuel
tax,
so
they
can
help
themselves
help
all
of
us.
F
It's
been
a
very,
I
would
say
wise
decision
by
the
voters
of
our
county
because
they're
the
ones
who
imposed
it
on
themselves-
and
it
has
allowed
us
to
do
a
lot
of
things.
We've
done
to
keep
our
network
operating
about
17
of
our
operations
and
all
the
money
goes
to
public
transportation
comes
from
sales
tax,
as
you've
heard
during
the
pandemic,
we
had
budgeted
for
that
to
go
down
significantly,
assuming
there
would
be
a
a
recession
at
the
same
time
that
didn't
happen.
People
actually
spent
much
more
than
they
did
beforehand.
F
So
that's
been
good
for
us
in
terms
of
our
public
transit
funding,
health
and
then,
lastly,
about
a
quarter
of
our
revenue
comes
from
federal
funding.
I
would
point
out,
if
you're
not
aware
that
the
way
the
federal
funding
works
for
transit
is
we
get
money
for
capital
and
we
get
money
for
maintaining
the
the
facilities
we
do
not
get
any
federal
money
except
during
the
pandemic,
was
a
basically
a
three-time
one-time
thing
that
has
been
changed
back
to
the
way
they've
done
in
the
past.
F
F
So
very
quickly
and
I'll
just
show
this
because
you've
already
heard
it,
but
this
is
a
graphic
that
shows
what
will
likely
happen
when
you
look
at
that
kind
of
light
blue
graph
there.
That
shows
it
depleting
as
it
goes
to
the
right
we
modeled.
If
the
governor's
efforts
for
changing
to
electric
vehicles
were
successful.
That
was
our
estimation
of
what
it
would
look
like
in
terms
of
fuel
consumption
simply
by
the
fact
that
you
know
more
people
would
be
driving
alternative
yield
vehicles
that
aren't
using
gasoline.
F
F
F
F
So
this
is
our
most
important
resiliency
effort
to
be
able
to
build
a
road
back
so
that
at
some
point
in
the
future,
possibly
sooner
than
later,
with,
what's
going
on
with
climate
that
happens,
people
aren't
precluded
from
getting
to
work
getting
to
the
grocery
store,
getting
their
kids
to
school,
because
they
were
basically
trapped
for
the
most
part
when
they
couldn't
get
out
of
their
neighborhood.
And
this
is
why
this
is
our
top
priority
in
terms
of
the
raised
ramp.
F
Very
quick
picture
of
it.
I'll
just
speak
through
that.
Unless
somebody
wants
me
to
go
back
and
look
at
it
and
then
the
last
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
in
this
particular
area
is-
and
you
heard
christina
mention
it.
So
this
is
an
effort
to
try
to
see
what
we
can
do
and
it'll
take
local
it'll,
take
rtc
local
state
federal
governments
all
getting
on
the
same
page,
and
what
this
graphic
shows
you
is.
F
This
is
our
existing
and
proposed
bus
rapid
transit
facility
we've
spent
about
150
million
on
it
likely
to
be
close
to
200
million
investment
by
the
time
we
get
done,
but
this
blue
that
you
see
on
this
map.
Those
are
lands
that
are
within
one
quarter,
mile
of
that
fixed
route,
10
minute
service
bus
system-
and
this
is
perhaps
the
best
way
if
we
really
want
to
deal
with
that
issue
of
people
having
to
drive
or
choosing
to
drive
all
the
time.
F
We
have
to
figure
out
how
do
we
get
the
people
because
we're
going
to
have
people
moving
here
and
we
need
to
find
places
for
them?
How
do
we
get
them
in
these
areas?
So
that's
what
this
graphic
represents.
It's
it's
a
big
different
way
of
doing
business,
but
one
that
certainly,
I
think,
will
address
not
only
the
suburban
sprawl
but
also
the
supporting
of
transit,
make
it
optimally
used
utilized.
F
So
transportation
safety-
we
do
a
lot
at
to
scale
in
terms
of
pedestrian
safety.
We've
been
very
active
with
the
zero
fatalities,
effort
and
actually
rtc
needs
that
for
our
community
we
work
very
closely
with
southern
nevada
and
ndot
on
it.
Just
a
quick
example
of
things.
We've
done,
we've
got
six
rapid,
flash
and
beakers
we
installed.
We
have
eight
that
are
underway.
F
We
also
use
one
of
our
specific
federal
programs
where
we
have
money.
That's
from
the
state
that
we
have
portioned
out
to
build
paths,
bike
paths,
pedestrian
paths,
bike
lanes:
you
can
see
solar-powered
traffic
calming
devices
all
this
money
is
programmed
specifically
to
these
kind
of
improvements
in
our
community
that
benefit
not
only
safety
but
also
pedestrians
and
bicycles
directly.
F
Again
this,
this
is
our
program
that
we,
this
is
our
outing.
Basically,
our
public
engagement
effort
to
talk
to
the
community
about
changing
their
behavior,
so
they
can
do
their
part
to
be
safe
on
our
roadway
system.
F
We've
also,
the
legislature,
with
your
great
wisdom,
approved
a
ability
for
local
governments
to
implement
pedestrian
safety
zones
and
then
those
and
I'm
I'll
tell
you
I'm
not
as
expert
on
it,
but
I
believe
what
it
does.
It
allows
us
to
ratchet
up
the
fees
on
which
somebody
would
pay
that
violates
the
the
rules
or
the
ability
to
drive
in
these
areas,
and
we've
got
one
of
those
in
place.
Actually,
we've
got
three
of
them
in
place
now
or
two
of
them
in
place.
F
One
two,
three
four
four
of
them
in
place,
so
they've
been
very
productive
in
our
community
in
terms
of
making
it
safer
around
schools,
those,
I
would
say,
from
pedestrian
safety
standpoint
in
washoe
county,
that's
kind
of
where
we
started.
Our
focus
is
really
around
schools
and,
as
we
sort
through
that
and
learn
some
some
good
lessons
on
how
to
manage
speed,
we
would
try
to
maybe
move
that
to
other
places
where
it's
critical
for
the
safety
of
people
in
our
community.
F
So
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
this
one
because
we
don't
have
anything
specific,
but
I
would
share
with
you
just
jumping
off
of
the
last
thing.
We
said
that
one
of
the
possible
pieces
of
legislation
that
we're
talking
about
bringing
to
the
legislature
is
the
ability
to
use
cameras,
enforcement
cameras
in
school
zone
and
the
way
we're
envisioning
it.
F
And
when
I
say
we
it's
a
lot
of
the
local
partners,
it's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
engaged
in
the
zero
fatality
program
that
are
that
are
contributors
and
supporters
of
that
realizing
that
we
need
some
new
tools
to
be
able
to
make
our
school
zone
safer
and
in
this
case,
what
we're
considering
bringing
forward
again,
we
haven't
formally
our
board,
hasn't
voted
on
it.
F
It
hasn't
even
turned
into
anything
in
writing
would
be
asking
the
legislature
to
to
enable
local
governments
to
possibly
use
that
tool
in
school
zones
where
it
was
warranted
based
on
the
safety
needs.
So
with
that,
I
will
conclude
my
comments
and
certainly
be
available
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
only
have
one
after
you
implemented
the
indexing
and
the
fuel
cost
in
in
reno.
Have
you
noticed
that
how
many
cars
are
going
out
of
town
to
fill
up?
F
Through
the
chair
to
assemblyman
ellison
or
senator,
I'm
sorry,
okay,
thank
you.
We
have
not.
We
know
that
it's
certainly
something
we
hear,
because
it's
very
easy
to
drive
down
to
carson
city
to
get
gas.
F
B
I
I
think,
maybe
in
the
future,
you
might
want
to
take
a
look
at
that.
I
think
you'd
gain
more
money
by
looking
at
the
indexing
versus
what
the
other
counties
are
doing,
because
I
live
right
beside
costco
and
when
I'm
here
so
I
I
see
it
a
lot
and
talk
to
a
lot
of
people
there.
So,
okay,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
A
J
A
By
chance
have
we
had
anyone
join
us
chair?
There
are
no
callers
at
this
time,
all
right.
Well,
members
with
that.
That
will
conclude
today's
meeting.
I
thank
you
all
for
joining.
We've
had
some
great
presentations,
a
lot
of
information,
great
ideas
for
some
legislation
for
next
legislative
session,
I'm
happy
to
say
that
our
next
meeting
will
be
in
person
and
it's
scheduled
for
may
11th
at
10
a.m.
It
will
be
here
in
las
vegas,
so
I
wish
you
all
a
wonderful
day
enjoy
your
evening
and
I'll
see
you
soon.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
