[4] From its inception as Citifare in the late 1970s, the system has since been rebranded and has grown to include a service area of approximately 60 square miles (160 km2) and an annual ridership of 8.5 million.

By 2003, the growing success of the system, coupled with planning efforts to incorporate bus rapid transit and transit oriented development into the community, lead the RTC to implement a rebranding of the entire organization, as well as Citifare, over the upcoming years.

The RTC also began working on new capital projects to replace the aging CitiCenter and CitiStation transit terminals.

[6] Beginning in December 2016 passes are also available for purchase on the Token Transit mobile ticketing app.

[7] RTC RIDE operates on a hub and spoke system, with routes that radiate out from the transit centers and then returning in.

Routes 50-59 generally operate in South Reno and originate from RTC MEADOWOOD MALL TRANSFER FACILITY.

[11] RTC REGIONAL CONNECTOR[12] provides express bus service between Reno, Meadowood Mall, and Carson City.

Their primary responsibility is road repair and construction within their jurisdiction, specifically, regional roadways, high-traffic (greater than 5,000 avg.

daily trips) streets, and roads that cross geographic barriers or that connect jurisdictions.

It addresses travel by all modes including automobiles, transit, bicycles, pedestrians, aviation, rail and goods movement as well as transportation management strategies to make the system more efficient.

[22] The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is RTC's short-range plan to meet the current needs of the Truckee Meadows.
