Collaborates with regional partners such as Washoe County, City of Sparks, Regional Transportation Commission (RTC), Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Reno Sparks Indian Colony, the University of Nevada, Reno, Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency, Truckee River Flood Management Authority, Northern Nevada Water Planning Commission, and the Western Regional Water Commission along with other partners to plan and implement infrastructure projects for the region.
