  7. Senate Bill 506 • The 2011 Nevada Legislature approved Senate Bill 506 authorizing the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) to enter into one or more Public-Private Partnerships to design, construct, finance, operate or maintain a toll road demonstration project for the Boulder City Bypass • If implemented, Phase 2 of the Boulder City Bypass would be the tolled segment of the project

  8. Tolling Concept • Two open road tolling (ORT) express lanes per direction for electronic toll collections (ETC) • Three cash/credit lanes per direction for payment by machine • Opening year passenger vehicle toll = $2.25 All information presented is preliminary and subject to revision All Information presented is preliminary and subject to revision Possible Mainline Toll Plaza Location Western Area Power Administration

  9. Tolling Concept • 44% of potential bypass through traffic is expected to use a tolled bypass • Tolls would be used to offset part of the cost of construction, operation and maintenance • The RTC is examining public-private partnerships as a means to design, build, finance, develop, operate or maintain the bypass

  10. INSERT UPDATED MAP THAT IS TITLED BOULDER CITY BYPASS PROJECT (omit “The 11”)

  11. Resources Studied in 2005 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and for the 2009, 2011, and 2013 Re-evaluations of the FEIS • Land Use • Cultural Resources • Socioeconomics • Mobility, Access & Safety • Environmental Justice • Section 4(f) Resources • Floodplains • Hazardous Materials • Wetlands & Jurisdictional Waters • Air Quality • Traffic Noise • Hydrology & Water Quality • Visual Resources • Biological Resources & Sensitive Species • Indirect & Cumulative Effects

  12. Environmental Impact of Tolling the Boulder City Bypass • Tolling Phase 2 of the Bypass would result in no significant adverse impacts to the human or natural environment • 44% of potential Bypass through traffic is expected to use a tolled Bypass • Does a tolled Bypass still meet the original purpose and need of the project? • A new tolled Bypass would still eliminate traffic performance and safety concerns associated with the existing signalized intersection at Railroad Pass • A new tolled Bypass would still serve to eliminate the numerous roadway deficiencies of existing US 93 • A new tolled Bypass still increases safety and reduces congestion by reducing the overall number of vehicles through Boulder City and by removing most through heavy truck traffic • Tolling is not expected to deter commercial through • traffic from the Bypass keeping US 93 a vital • system link in the CANAMEX Corridor

  13. What’s Next? • FHWA, NDOT, and RTC will evaluate comments from this meeting submitted by the public, agencies, and other interested parties. • FHWA and NDOT will consider comments as they proceed with review and approval of the findings of the current re-evaluation of the 2005 FEIS and Record of Decision • RTC will continue assessing the potential of a public private partnership for the Boulder City Bypass project
