The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County and local construction firm Sierra Nevada Construction (SNC) are transforming Virginia Street with construction of the Virginia Street Bus RAPID Transit Extension Project in the Midtown Reno. This more than $80-million investment in our community will create connectivity between Midtown Reno and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), and will support economic development, enhance safety, and improve livability in the corridor.
