What We’ve Accomplished:
We have conducted a thorough engagement process with the community to gather valuable feedback. Here are the events that have already taken place.
The City of Tucson and Sun Tran, in partnership with the Pima Association of Governments (PAG), evaluated all aspects of Sun Tran, Sun Link, Sun Express, and Sun Shuttle services throughout Tucson, and the greater Tucson area to determine potential improvements through the COA.
Following nearly 11 months of public outreach to gather input on proposed changes to improve transit efficiency, equity, and effectiveness, Sun Tran staff will host six (6) public meetings to discuss the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) proposed transit changes.
In-Person Meetings:
These (7) seven meetings provided the opportunity for the community to share feedback in person. Here are the details:
- Fred Archer Recreation Center
- Tucson City Council Ward 2 Office
- Woods Memorial Library
- Pascua Yaqui Tribal Chambers
- Miller-Golf Links Library
- Quincie Douglas Recreation Center
- Tucson City Council Ward 6 Office
