Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method of informing the UE of priorities associated with cells that support a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service may include the UE receiving a priority indicator from the base station. The priority indicator may inform the UE of priorities associated with one or more cells that support the V2X service. The priority indicator may be received in a radio resource control (RRC) connection release message. The UE may use the priority indicator to determine which cells of the set of cells support the V2X service. Accordingly, the UE may perform a cell reselection procedure based at least in part on the priority indicator, the measured parameters, or both. By informing the UE of priorities associated with cells that support the V2X service, the V2X service may have greater continuity at the UE, thereby increasing the performance and quality of the V2X service.
