The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County is pleased to announce a Call for Projects to provide transportation improvements for seniors and people with disabilities. Applications will be accepted through January 17, 2024.
Previous projects were funded by the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Section 5310 dollars, and in response to the community’s desire for funding flexibility, RTC is making the equivalent Section 5310 funding appropriations available in sales tax funds for distribution in support of local projects.
The solicitation is for a two (2)-year funding agreement encompassing federal fiscal years 2024-2026. A maximum of $1,151,752 in sales tax funding is proposed and is based upon FTA Section 5310 appropriations. Applications must be emailed to jmeyers@rtcwashoe.com by noon on January 17, 2024.
