The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is transforming the image of public transportation and enhancing the quality of life for Southern Nevadans with one of the country's premiere rapid transit projects. Meet MAX, otherwise known as Southern Nevada's Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) system. A hybrid between bus and rail systems, MAX has many features of rail service with the cost and flexibility of a bus, making it an effective transportation solution.

The MAX project, included as a National Demonstration Project by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is the first in the United States to operate the Civis vehicle using the latest technology to provide a high-quality, state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly transit alternative at a fraction of the cost of rail service.

If you are connecting via a low-bandwidth (dial-up) connection, use the links above to learn about MAX, if you are connecting via a high-speed connection (DSL, cable) click "TAKE THE TOUR" in the column to the right to learn about MAX, it's features, shelters, the vehicle itself, and about TVMs (Ticket Vending Machines). We thank you and hope you are just as excited about MAX as we are.
