The Federal Transit Administration this month announced Phoenix Public Transit will receive more than $500,000 to conduct a west Phoenix high-capacity transit study.
The $514,045 award comes from the American Rescue Plan Route Planning Restoration Program, and the study will provide a recommendation for transit modes that specifically provide a higher level of rider capacity and efficiency, according to the city.
“Improving access, ease, equity, and efficiency of transit for the people of Phoenix is a priority for me, and this grant will better inform our efforts under Transportation 2050 (T2050), a voter-approved local plan for bus service, light rail construction and street improvements,” Mayor Kate Gallego said.
