ACE Boulder Highway Corridor Project

The Regional Transportation Commission of SouthernNevada’s (RTC’s) ACE Boulder Highway servicewill provide rapid transit from downtown Las Vegas to Henderson.

The ACE Boulder Highway rapid transit system represents a new age of transit for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC). The sleek, modern service will ultimately connect all corners of the valley. ACE rapid transit will have the look and feel of a light rail system, but have the flexibility of running on regular streets.
The vehicles are sophisticated and stylish, but cost considerably less than a light rail system.

ACE Boulder Highway will feature dedicated curbside lanes from downtown Las Vegas to Tropicana Avenue and continue to Horizon Drive in mixed-flow traffic. The new rapid transit stations will provide a comfortable and attractive place for riders to wait. There will be 23 transit stations that house amenities such as protection from the sun, generous lighting, level platform boarding, ticket vending machines, and displays announcing the next vehicle’s arrival. In addition, six simplified transit stops will include a ticket vending machine and a transit route identifier.

ACE Boulder Highway will travel a 15-mile corridor that extends from downtown Las Vegas to Henderson and offers additional transit options from Eighth Street to Horizon Drive. ACE Boulder Highway is one of several new rapid transit lines that will connect Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and parts of Clark County. Construction on the ACE Boulder Highway line is scheduled to begin in 2009 and the service is anticipated to launch in 2011.
