Planned Legislative AdvocacyCoalition Building

Federal legislator outreach

Bring federal IIJA, FTA, and Reconnecting Communities money home through Nevada's congressional delegation.


Why this project

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and FTA’s Capital Investment Grants program are still distributing significant funding for transit projects through 2030. Capturing that money for the Valley requires Nevada’s congressional delegation to advocate for our applications, write supporting letters, and (when a project is shovel-ready) help get it across the line.

Goals

  • Develop relationships with the offices of Nevada’s full congressional delegation, with a focus on members representing the Valley
  • Coordinate with RTC’s federal-grants team on supporting LVBT advocacy for live applications
  • Make Las Vegas a visible recipient of federal transit attention — site visits, joint announcements, project tours

Priority offices

  • Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Sen. Jacky Rosen
  • Rep. Steven Horsford (NV-04)
  • Rep. Dina Titus (NV-01)
  • Rep. Susie Lee (NV-03)
  • Rep. Mark Amodei (NV-02)
