The Board discussed public comments regarding fleet management and maintenance funding concerns. A director's report provided updates on statewide traffic safety, the disposal of a church property in Las Vegas, pavement improvement projects on Rainbow Boulevard, and the completion of safety features along Flamingo Road. The Board also discussed the resolution for the abandonment of a portion of a material site in Elko County and considered the fiscal year 2027 vehicle replacement and procurement plan.

The public workshop was convened to solicit comments on the proposed codification of a definition for critical infrastructure as referenced in Nevada Revised Statutes. The discussion centered on identifying which department assets, facilities, systems, or networks, whether physical or virtual, necessitate protection from disclosure due to the potential impact of their incapacitation or destruction on the state's transportation security, economic continuity, public health, or welfare. The process involved a presentation on the proposed regulation and a formal public comment period.

The agenda includes the Director's Report and a Consent Agenda featuring construction contracts exceeding $20,000,000, specifically for the Rainbow Boulevard project. Additional business items comprise the disposal of a Department of Transportation right-of-way parcel in Washoe Valley and an informational review of delegated authority regarding contracts, agreements, and settlements.
