WASHINGTON, DC – Nevada Senator Harry Reid was in Laughlin on Friday to briefly tour and give remarks at the dedication of the new Silver Rider/Laughlin Transit Facility.  Senator Reid was instrumental in the construction of the facility, securing $1 million to complete it.

Senator Reid was joined by Jacob Snow, General Manager for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and Deb Dauenhauer, Executive Director of the Southern Nevada Transit Coalition, who thanked Senator Reid for his longstanding support of Nevada’s rural communities, like Laughlin.

“Traveling safely and efficiently in Nevada is about jobs, it’s about family, and it’s about peace of mind,” Reid said. “This new facility will make a real difference in the lives of Nevadans as we continue working to put our economy back on track. It is a privilege to have been in a position to help make a facility like this possible.”
