Rep. Susie Lee hosted her summit at Springs Preserve on Thursday morning to discuss the most pressing issues regarding Las Vegas’ tiny share of the Colorado River. She was joined by U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; Colby Pellegrino, Southern Nevada Water Authority deputy general manager; the Colorado River Commission of Nevada and ÐÔÊӽ紫ý startup WAVR Technologies.

He said the goal of HOV lanes is to get people to carpool with each other, but he doesn’t see that happening.

It might sound like science fiction, but for one startup in the valley, atmospheric water harvesting is reality. In the desert valley of Las Vegas, where water is as precious as gold, a team of researchers at WAVR is working to turn the air we breathe into the water we drink.

It may look like just new light poles, but to Las Vegas safety advocates it’s a sign that hundreds of pedestrians didn’t die on Boulder Highway in vain.

Las Vegas has won the dubious distinction of being named one of the nation’s most dangerous cities for pedestrians. Sin City was rated as the third worst city for pedestrians in a study released last week by shoe company Kuru.

The airport connector is a key road to get around Harry Reid International Airport, but some are concerned the lights around the tunnel can impact drivers and passengers alike.

Nevada had one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the country in 2024, data shows. But preliminary 2025 data shows those numbers could go down. In 2024, drivers hit and killed 7,148 people walking in the United States, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. That number is enough to fill more than 30 Boeing 737 jets at maximum capacity.

As we near the start of the new Clark County School District school year, road safety advocates are warning young students and their parents to be prepared.

Most pedestrian accidents in Las Vegas tell a predictable story. When an adult is struck while walking in or near the street, the pedestrian bears responsibility about 75% of the time, estimates Erin Breen, director of ÐÔÊӽ紫ý’s Road Equity Alliance Project. These adults are typically jaywalking or walking at night in dark clothing that makes them nearly invisible to drivers. But when it comes to child victims going to or from school, the blame flips around, she said.

Nevada ranks among the most dangerous states for road travel, placing sixth nationwide in traffic fatalities according to a new report from TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit.

Two major rail companies have come together to unveil a plan to create America's first transcontinental railroad. Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced on Tuesday that they would be connecting over 50,000 route miles across 43 states from the East Coast to the West Cost, linking around 100 ports.

Teen drivers in Southern Nevada are getting a sobering lesson in road safety. The Teen Driver Safety Day at ÐÔÊӽ紫ý put young drivers face-to-face with the real-world consequences of reckless driving, especially when impaired or distracted behind the wheel.
