Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is providing free transit passes for COVID-19 vaccination appointments. Digital and paper passes will be available by request now through Monday, May 31.
Southern Nevadans who would like to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, but may not have access to transportation, are encouraged to take advantage of free public transit now through the end of May.
Upon request, two passes will be provided within 24 hours through the rideRTC app. Passes may also be picked up in person or mailed directly to individuals.
“Thanks to federal stimulus funding, we are pleased to be able to provide free transportation for those seeking access to their COVID-19 vaccination appointment,” said Debra March, City of Henderson May and RTC Chairwoman. “As we prepare for our community to fully reopen on June 1, it is the RTC’s goal to help ensure that we come back healthier and stronger.”
For those interested in taking advantage of free transportation to their COVID-19 vaccination appointment, the process is simple. You can email COVIDpass@rtcsnv.com using the email you used to register your rideRTC account and request two free 24 hour passes that will be pushed directly to your mobile account. You can also call 702-901-8495 Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., and request two paper passes be mailed to you or be made available for pick up at the RTC’s administration building (600 S. Grand Central Pkwy) or Bonneville Transit Center (101 E. Bonneville Ave.).
If you don’t already have the rideRTC mobile app, it can be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Once downloaded, register the app with the email you will use to request the passes, and your two free 24-hour passes will be pushed directly to your account within 24 hours after your request is received.
