This week on Transit Unplugged, Paul visits Las Vegas to talk with M.J. Maynard, CEO of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC). From managing traffic for massive events like the Las Vegas Marathon and Formula 1, to running one of the busiest bus-only transit systems in the U.S., M.J. gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what makes RTC truly unique.Unlike most transit agencies, RTC operates as a centralized hub for mobility—housing the region's public transit provider, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), traffic management, roadway funding agency, and even bike share operations all under one roof. That structure gives the team unmatched agility when responding to evolving transportation needs, especially in a region that's booming with mega-events and economic growth.Paul and M.J. ride the Deuce on the Strip, visit RTC's award-winning Mobility Training Center, and explore how this consolidated model creates real-time solutions for residents and tourists alike. With a focus on equity, connectivity, and serving both locals and tourists, M.J. shows how Las Vegas moves the masses—and why other regions are taking notes.Transit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxohttps://www.modaxo.com Host & Producer: Paul Comfort Podcast Editor & Newsletter Guy: Chris O'Keeffe Executive Producer: Julie GatesSpecial thanks to: Tina Olagundoye – Brand Design Tatyana Mechkarova – Social MediaGot a question or comment?

Clark County had 11 cyclist deaths on our roads last year — bike safety advocates say our road design and driving culture are partly to blame. They're backing a counterintuitive bill this legislative session: AB 168 would allow cyclists to disregard stop signs and keep pedaling through intersections. Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Ky Plaskon, secretary at the Nevada Bicycle Coalition, and David Swallow, Deputy CEO at the Regional Transportation Commission, about why AB 168 is needed, the stats that back it up, and how else Las Vegas could make the roads safer for everyone.

Jerry Zebrak was on the Reno Bicycle Council in the 80's and 90's and he has no illusions about what happened.“It was sponsored by all the bike stores in Reno,” Zebrak said. “At that time, no one wanted to listen to us, so we gave up.”That explains why bike shops are not more engaged with bicycle safety advocacy today in Reno. They were crushed. What was the justification back then?“The City Council at that time felt that they were unable to spend the money. It was the same with Washoe County.”Now, Jan and Jerry Zebrak are back! They are trying to get the Regional Transportation Commission and City of Reno to follow Federal Bikeway Selection Guide standards on a deadly stretch of road (Lakeside Drive). It's a popular cycling route with no shoulder or sidewalks and it is about to get even more dangerous with more traffic from planned housing developments according to Zebrak. Read about their efforts and send a form letter to local officials using BuildABetterBikeNetwork.comNext episode, we will talk to Jan Zebrak about the effort.

While Las Vegas residents say they want mass transit, many seem reluctant to use the public transit system that already exists. Co-host Dayvid Figler talks to MJ Maynard, CEO of the Regional Transportation Commission, about common misconceptions and public safety concerns around the city's public transportation, where the RTC is unique on the national transit scene, whether light rail would succeed, and why there aren't more convenient connections to the airport.

Local government employees are standing in the way of City Council and Regional Transportation Commission votes to build a protected bike path on University Way/Center Street. In this episode, we explore the controversy, false statements, and misinformation spread by staff. We also take a trip to Washington D.C. where we see how that city has installed many protected paths painlessly. A study there shows that protected paths benefitted women tremendously, increasing ridership from 25 percent to around 45 percent. They did it with the help of the Dutch Cycling Embassy. Meanwhile, Reno Nevada has the same Embassy resources at its disposal but city staff are blocking what would be the first protected bike path from UNR to Midtown. In this episode of Bike Life Radio, we hear the opposition inside the local government to stop the will of the people.

“It’s important that we are connecting with the community constantly to share with them what we are up to and to figure out what it is they need from us.”   Tina Quigley wanted to be a pilot when she grew up. When she realized that, unfortunately, that wasn’t an option she studied airport planning and business. After spending 15 years at McCarran Airport, she joined the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) as Deputy General Manager. Now General Manager, Tina is joined by MJ Maynard (Deputy General Manager) where they discuss how they can maximize opportunities because of the unique structure of the RTC. Tina shares how 100% of RTC’s service is contracted out. The two also discuss ridership, farebox recovery, autonomous vehicles, and a ton of technology the transportation space should use to its advantage. As Tina says, “Technology is the new asphalt.” If you want to know more about RTC, you can check out their website.
