Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Congresswoman Dina Titus is pushing a new plan to get more input on how to spend transportation funds.

Titus spoke at the Regional Transportation Commission on Monday. She said her bill will give those who are invested more say in how federal money is spent by the state.

Titus said that will ensure the best projects get funded to meet the needs of the local community.

"I think this takes the politics out of it because you have businesses involved, safety organizations. The state will still be at the table and it'll be a competitive grant process," Titus explained.

Titus said they're working to find more co-sponsors for the bill and hope to have it moving forward by the end of the year.
