Riders travel across the Valley on eco-friendly public transit including bus, light rail, paratransit, and now, streetcar. In May of this year, Valley Metro opened streetcar in Tempe, which features the transit system’s first off-wire operations.

Progress continues on five high-capacity transit extensions that are either in planning or under construction to create a 50-mile rail system by 2030.
