The next Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) will take place Wednesday, June 11 beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the Bob Crowell Board Room at the Carson City Community Center located at 851 E. William Street.
RTC
Commissioners will hear a presentation regarding the 2025 Carson City Pavement Performance Model update Technical Memorandum which will reveal findings from the most recent analysis of Carson City’s roads.
At the end of 2024, a survey was completed covering 276 centerline miles Carson City’s roads, the results of which were presented to CAMPO in April 2025.
The average PCI (a pavement condition metric) in Carson City is 60, with 0 being the worst pavement condition and 100 being the best. Regional roads have improved slightly over the past few years, with the current condition at 69.
The condition of local roads is declining at a rapid rate, according to the agenda, with Carson City’s local roads averaging a “poor” classification with a PCI score of 55.
By 2050, it is projected that the city-wide PCI will be 35.
Following this presentation, the commission will discuss pavement projects for FY 2026 in District 3 (southeastern Carson City) and staff is recommending six recommended projects on regional and local roads to be funded with the available 2026 budget. The projects consist of four regional roads and two local roads.

The second image shows which projects have been selected by staff from that list.
Local roads:
Total available funding is $4.63 million. Regional road project estimated costs are $3.61 million, while the cost of the two local roads projects are $954,000. Staff is working to secure additional funding if possible.
In other items:
Commissioners will discuss submitting a grant application to CAMPO for $200,155 subject to a 20% local match estimated to be $50,039 to fund operating expenses for Jump Around Carson (JAC).
In a similar item, they will also submit an application to CAMPO for the purchase of a JAC vehicle for a total amount of $144,000 including a 15% local match estimated to be $21,579. The total cost for the vehicle is $255,000 and RTC will also ask CAMPO to submit a grant the Buses and Bus Facilities grant program for the additional funds.
RTC full agenda
CAMPO
CAMPO has a light agenda for its portion of the meeting, with just one non-routine item to be discussed.
The item is regarding an amendment to an agreement with NDOT extending the termination date of their agreement to allow CAMPO to continue to seek reimbursement of grant funds to be carried forward from FY 2025 to FY 2026. The agreement would be extended until June 30, 2026.
The total agreed upon amount in the current agreement is $726,000; the item also provides authority for the Transportation Manager to sign the amendment and and any future amendments to extend the time for performance or approve funding changes not to exceed 10% ($72,600) of the present agreement amount.
According to the agenda, each year CAMPO and NDOT typically enter into cooperative agreements for the dispersal of grant fundings. The two agencies executed this current agreement April 2024 to fund the 2025 Unified Planning Work Program between July 2024 and June 2025.
