APPROVED CE DOCUMENT IS ATTACHED DATED SEPTEMBER 8 2020ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: UP TO FIVE PARATRANSIT VANS WILL BE REPLACED; AND CONSTRUCTION OF A BRT STATION (VIRGINIA LINE NORTHBOUND PEPPERMILL STATION).EXPECTED OUTCOMES: FUNDING WILL ALLOW RTC TO MAINTAIN SERVICE AND ENHANCE THE TRANSIT EXPERIENCE FOR RIDERS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: TRANSIT RIDERS IN THE RENO SPARKS AND WASHOE COUNTY.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE. | Nevada transit (FTA federal awards) | REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION OF WASHOE COUNTY | $875K | — |
| APPLICATION PURPOSE: RTC IS SEEKING FUNDING FOR SIX REPLCEMENT HYDROGEN FUEL CELL ELECTRIC BUSES (FCEB) AND ASSOCIATED FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE TO REPLACE AGING DIESEL HYBRID UNITS THAT ARE WELL BEYOND THEIR USEFUL LIFE AND TO EXPAND ITS HYDROGEN FLEET. THESE VEHICLES BUILD UPON RTCS LONG HISTORY AS BEING AN EARLY ADOPTER FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELED VEHICLES. HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS REPRESENTS THE NEXT GENERATION OF ZERO-EMISSION TRANSIT TECHNOLOGIES AND THESE BUSES UNLIKE TRADITIONAL BATTERY-ELECTRIC PROVIDE THE SOLUTION FOR THE LONGER OPERATIONAL RANGES NEEDED FOR COVERAGE ON ALL OUR TRANSIT ROUTES AND FOR FASTER REFUELING. RTCS FIRST HYDROGEN VEHICLES WILL BE DELIVERED AND PLACED INTO SERVICE AT THE END OF 2023. THE GROWTH OF OUR HYDROGEN PROGRAM WILL IMPROVE RTCS SERVICES BY ADDRESSING THE LIMITATIONS WITH BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES BROADEN OUR PORTFOLIO OF ALTERNATIVE VEHICLES AND CONTINUE RTCS COMMITMENT TOWARDS PROVIDING OUR SERVICES IN THE MOST EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIBLE WAY POSSIBLE.; ACTIVITIES PERFORMED: PURCHASE HYDROGEN BUSES PURCHASE HYDROGEN TANK AND FUELING STATION TRAINING AND CONSULTING.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCE HARMFUL EMISSIONS REDUCE DIRECT CARBON EMISSIONS.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE RENO AREA IS A REGION WITH POOR AIR QUALITY AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CONCERNS WHERE STRONG DEMAND FOR TRANSIT SERVICES ALREADY EXISTS. THE EXPANSION OF ZERO EMISSION BUSES IN THIS REGION WILL NOT ONLY BENEFIT TRANSIT RIDERS BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY AT-LARGE BY ELIMINATING EMISSIONS GENERATED FROM THE OLDER DIESEL-HYBRID POWERED BUSES.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE | Nevada transit (FTA federal awards) | REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION OF WASHOE COUNTY | $8.8M | — |
| APPLICATION PURPOSE: THE RTCS CHARLESTON BOULEVARD HIGH-CAPACITY TRANSIT PROJECT WILL FUND THE PLANNING ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS PRELIMINARY DESIGN ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOR A 16.9 MILE HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT LINE ALONG CHARLESTON BOULEVARD BETWEEN PAVILION CENTER DRIVE IN SUMMERLIN AND NELLIS BOULEVARD IN EAST LAS VEGAS. THE STUDY WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE REDESIGN OF CHARLESTON BOULEVARD WHICH WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO A COMPLETE STREETS CORRIDOR TO ACCOMMODATE A VARIETY OF ROADWAY USERS.; ACTIVITIES PERFORMED: THIS RAISE GRANT REQUEST INCLUDES CONCURRENT PLANNING AND NEPA/PRELIMINARY DESIGN (30%) TO ASSESS HIGH-CAPACITY TRANSIT ALTERNATIVES ALONG CHARLESTON BOULEVARD FROM PAVILION CENTER DRIVE TO NELLIS BOULEVARD APPROXIMATELY 16.9 MILES. THE CONCLUSION OF THESE DEVELOPMENT PHASE ACTIVITIES WILL BE SELECTION OF A LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE (LPA) ALONG WITH ENOUGH KNOWN PROJECT INFORMATION (COST SCHEDULE ROW) TO QUICKLY MOVE FORWARD INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF PROJECT WORK: FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. PROJECT PLANNING WILL INCLUDE EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT TO IDENTIFY THE RECOMMENDED TRANSIT VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY STATION LOCATIONS STATION DESIGN LANE CONFIGURATION AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE CORRIDOR.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE CHARLESTON BOULEVARD HIGH-CAPACITY TRANSIT PROJECT WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT MOBILITY FOR PEDESTRIANS BICYCLISTS AND TRANSIT USERS ALONG AND ADJACENT TO THE CORRIDOR. UPGRADING THE EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICE ALONG CHARLESTON BOULEVARD TO HIGH-CAPACITY TRANSIT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE CONVENIENCE RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF TRANSIT TRIPS. INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY FOR NON-MOTORIZED TRIPS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO VMT AND EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS. THE PROPOSED TRANSIT SERVICE AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT MOBILITY CHOICE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM IMPROVED WALKABILITY BIKE-ABILITY ACCESS TO TRANSIT AND ADDITIONAL SHADE ALONG THE CORRIDOR.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE CHARLESTON BLVD HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT PLANNING PROJECT WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE MINORITY LOW INCOME AND ELDERLY POPULATIONS IN THE PROJECT CORRIDOR AND THROUGHOUT THE REGION BY IMPROVING AIR QUALITY AND THE RELIABILITY OF A TRANSIT SYSTEM THAT THESE RESIDENTS DEPEND UPON. THIS PROJECT WILL SUPPORT THE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY OF PROJECT AREA RESIDENTS BY IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. HIGHER TRANSIT FREQUENCIES AND REDUCTION IN TRAVEL TIMES FOR TRANSIT SERVICE WILL GREATLY IMPROVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE | Nevada transit (FTA federal awards) | REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION OF SOUTHERN NEVADA | $5.9M | — |
| APPLICATION PURPOSE: RTC RECOGNIZES THAT FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS CRITICAL BENEFITS IN ZERO-EMISSION TECHNOLOGY WITH LONGER RANGE FASTER FUELING TIME AND CENTRALIZED FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN BE LEVERAGED BY A LARGE FLEET. THIS PROJECT IS THE FIRST STEP IN RTCS TRANSITION TO ZERO EMISSION TECHNOLOGY AS THEY PREPARE TO MEET NEVADAS MANDATED TARGET OF 50% ZERO EMISSION FLEETS BY 2030. THE FCEB DEPLOYMENTS ALSO SUPPORTS LOCAL PRIORITIES TO REDUCE GHG EMISSIONS IN THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR PROVIDE ZERO EMISSION TRANSIT IN AN EXPANDING GEOGRAPHIC REGION PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND LEAD INNOVATION.; ACTIVITIES PERFORMED: PROCUREMENT OF 2 40 HYDROGEN FUEL CELL NEW FLYER EXCELSIOR FCEBS. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A HYDROGEN FUELING STATION.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: OVER THE 12 YEAR LIFETIME OF THE BUSES THE PROJECT IS ESTIMATED TO IMPROVE LOCAL AIR QUALITY THROUGH CRITERIA EMISSIONS REDUCTION OF 13.56 TONS NOX 1.06 TONS VOC .39 TONS CO AND .4 TONS PM2.5 AND WILL RESULT IN GHG EMISSIONS REDUCTION OF 1324 TONS OF CO2E. DIESEL CONSUMPTION WILL ALSO BE REDUCED BY AN ESTIMATED 303547 GALLONS OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE OPPORTUNITY ZONES WHICH HAVE SIGNIFICANT LOWER-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS BY REDUCING HARMFUL CARBON EMISSIONS WITHIN THE AREAS AND THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY THROUGH THE USE ALTERNATIVE CLEAN AIR TECHNOLOGY BUSES. THE LINK BETWEEN AIR QUALITY AND EQUITY IMPLICATIONS PARTICULARLY EXPOSURE TO HARMFUL POLLUTANTS FOR LOWER-INCOME POPULATIONS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED. A 2018 STUDY FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) SCIENTISTS PUBLISHED IN THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH FOUND THAT MINORITY AND POORER COMMUNITIES ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY AIR POLLUTION RELATIVE TO THE OVERALL POPULATION. ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE POSITIONED NEAR INDUSTRIAL AREAS AIRPORTS AND MAJOR ROAD THOROUGHFARES ALL WHICH PRODUCE HIGH LEVELS OF AIR POLLUTION (HTTPS://THEHILL.COM/POLICY/ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT/375289-EPA-SCIENTISTS-FIND-EMISSIONS-GREATER-IMPACT-LOW-INCOME-COMMUNITIES). BY INVESTING IN FCEBS AND THE RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE RTC IS DOING ITS SHARE IN REDUCING POLLUTANTS WITHIN THE OPPORTUNITY ZONES TO BENEFIT ITS RESIDENTS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: N/A | Nevada transit (FTA federal awards) | REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION OF SOUTHERN NEVADA | $3.9M | — |
