Title VI Open House Meetings
February 21, 2025Title VI and Major Service Changes Coming in August 2025 and Updates to the Sun Van COA
Sun Tran hosted a series of Title VI Open House Meetings to engage with the community about equitable transit and upcoming service changes. Riders and community members were encouraged to attend and provide feedback on the future of public transportation. During these meetings, there was also a discussion about the implementation of Sun Tran’s Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) and an update on Sun Van’s COA.
What is Sun Tran’s COA?
Sun Tran’s 2024 Transit COA was conducted to improve service efficiency and accessibility in Greater Tucson. Now in the implementation phase, major service changes will take effect in August 2025.
- Routes Impacted: 2, 12, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, and 62.
Meetings will provide details on these modifications and gather community feedback. You can watch the video to the right to learn more about implementing Sun Tran’s COA recommendations.

What is Title VI?
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ensures that no person in the United States is excluded, denied benefits, or discriminated against based on race, color, or national origin in federally funded programs.
