Plans are underway to build Tucson's first Bus Rapid Transit system, a high-capacity service designed to connect key areas of the city.
According to city officials, the proposed 15-mile transit corridor will ultimately run from the Tohono Tadai Transit Center and Tucson Mall down to the Tucson International Airport.
The project's north segment will establish the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service along Stone Avenue, linking the Tohono Tadai Transit Center with the downtown Ronstadt Transit Center.
City planners are still evaluating the south segment, which will eventually connect the Ronstadt Transit Center to the Tucson International Airport.
The RTA Next Plan provides partial funding for the transit project.
Additionally, the city has released the results of its Station Location Survey and published an informational video online to help residents understand the upcoming changes.
