The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, or RTC, is a diverse agency that performs a number of activities within the Southern Nevada community. The agency was created in 1965 by state statute and in the 1980s, two significant designations were bestowed upon the RTC. In 1981, the agency was named the Metropolitan Planning Organization, and in 1983, state legislation enabled the agency to own and operate a public mass transit system. From this, the agency is tasked with three main functions:

> Direct the expenditure of funds generated from the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax for regional street and highway construction.

> Oversee the Federally mandated transportation planning process for the Las Vegas Urban Area.

> Provide public mass transportation within Clark County.

The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County, Nevada serves the citizens of Reno and Sparks along with unincorporated areas of Washoe County.

The RTC was formed in July 1979 as a result of legislation approved by the Nevada Legislature, which consolidated the Regional Street and Highway Commission, the Regional Transit Commission and the Washoe County Area Transportation Study Policy Committee. This consolidation has increased the effectiveness and efficiency in planning and implementation of surface transportation in Washoe County. The RTC is the community-driven regional organization that plans for, provides for, and cares about current and future transportation and mobility needs.

The programs and services of the RTC focus on three businesses:
- Public Transportation
- Streets and Highways
- Planning
