RTC-OnDemand is the RTC of Southern Nevada’s (RTC) new transit program offering on-demand shared service for Southern Nevada residents and paratransit customers. The new service provides riders with the flexibility to schedule their RTC bus in the RTC-OnDemand zone. How it works: - Paratransit customers living in the RTC-OnDemand zone can call or book their same-day ride on the mobile app and travel within the zone or anywhere in the overall RTC service area. - Non-paratransit customers can book their ride on the mobile app and travel within the RTC-OnDemand zone, including businesses, residences and/or an RTC bus stop to transfer to travel outside of the RTC-OnDemand zone. RTC-OnDemand is an extension of the RTC’s current residential transit system with the current zone servicing the southwest part of the Las Vegas Valley and West Henderson. Service is available daily from 4 a.m. to 1:45 a.m. and costs the same as RTC transit fares, starting at $2 for fixed-route and $3 for paratransit customers. For a list of fares, visit: https://www.rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/fares-passes/ Vehicles are ADA-friendly and seat up to 12 passengers and are equipped with free WiFi and three bike racks.
