- The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority recently revealed MoreRNO, a multi-year construction project designed to improve passengers' traveling experience. The project, which will cost approximately $1 billion and run through 2028, will focus on improving key areas throughout the airport. Among the earliest improvements will come to the airport's Ticketing Hall, with construction set to begin this spring. (Sparks Tribune)
- The Reno City Council has approved an exclusive franchise agreement with Bird, a micromobility company, for an e-scooter share program. The program, which will serve residents in the downtown and midtown areas, is designed to support the city's sustainability goals. According to a press release, Bird riders saved an estimated 1.1 million gallons of gas last year. (Press Release Desk)
