The University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering has nurtured future engineering leaders since its establishment in 1976. The college, which currently enrolls over 1,600 undergraduates and around 250 graduate students, has steadily grown in prestige and capacity. The college boasts four graduate programs ranked among the top 100 in U.S. News and World Report’s list of Best Graduate Colleges, including nuclear engineering, aerospace studies, environmental engineering, and civil engineering.

It's been more than three months since Brightline West held an official groundbreaking for a 218-mile electric high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga. The April 22 event was ceremonial, but celebratory with appearances by Gov. Joe Lombardo, Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, and U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigeig. The sentiment of “it’s really happening this time” was shared eagerly by the politicians and business executives in attendance, but questions remain about one of the most ambitious transportation projects in American history.

What will it take for drivers in Clark County and throughout the state to drive more carefully? Even rising death rates don’t seem to be making the case.

Another high-speed rail project could eventually connect Las Vegas to additional stops throughout California.

The future of intercity travel between Las Vegas and Southern California just got a vividly clearer timeline. With a recent groundbreaking in April, News 3 LV reported that Brightline West is aiming to be operational in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. This high-speed rail project promises to transform the 218-mile journey into a mere two-hour trip, a game-changing endeavor for a region synonymous with both tourism and traffic.

The City of Henderson unanimously approved funding for middle school crossing guards during a city council meeting Tuesday afternoon.

Plans for a high-speed train between Las Vegas and Southern California remain 'on track.' After the groundbreaking ceremony in April, Brightline West hopes to be up and running in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Las Vegas' glitz, glamor, and gambling have drawn travelers from across the world. But a significant number of Sin City’s regular visitors come from right across Nevada’s western border: Southern California. Those visiting from Southern California currently traverse the Mojave by car or plane, but soon a third option will be available: high-speed rail.

There's a problem right now in Clark County: This is the time of year when more deadly crashes happen, especially among younger drivers. UNLV is hosting a day-long driver education program on Teen Driver Safety Day. It's designed to help young drivers understand the serious consequences of distracted and impaired driving. It's all happening on Thursday, July 11, from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the UNLV campus.

With Clark County’s traffic fatalities on the rise (up 65% so far this year), Sheriff Kevin McMahill and traffic experts are putting forth a new solution: Red light cameras. These cameras are currently illegal in Nevada, largely on the grounds of protecting privacy and fighting “big brother.” Have we reached a tipping point? Today, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with Erin Breen, director of UNLV's Road Equity Alliance Project, to talk about the privacy, safety, and equity issues these red light cameras raise — and if we really can make our deadly roads any safer.

Tuesday morning, higher-education AV and IT professionals and integrators were taken back to school on a tour of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ new UNLV Advanced Engineering Building and its new Flexatorium and Maker Spaces.

Concerns among the traffic safety leaders before Memorial Day which begins a time when more deadly crashes happen among teen drivers. It’s called the “100 Deadliest Days of Summer” and is between Memorial and Labor Day.
