The Phoenix Public Transit Department is seeking public comment on proposed changes to west Phoenix Express and RAPID™ commuter bus routes, that serve the I-17 corridor, as well as Grand Avenue Limited service. Express Routes 570, 581, 582 and 590 provide service in north and west Phoenix and in the City of Glendale. The Grand Avenue Limited travels through Peoria, Glendale and Phoenix. These routes could be reduced or eliminated.
Additionally, the RAPID™ I-17 service is proposed for extension to a new facility, the Happy Valley Park-and-Ride. Changes would be effective in January, 2011
To gather public comment, a public hearing and five public meetings are being held to present these proposed changes to City of Phoenix-operated Express and RAPID routes. The public can provide comment at the public meetings listed below.
Written comments will also be accepted. Address correspondence to “Express Bus Service Changes,” City of Phoenix Public Transit Department, 302 N. 1st Ave., Suite 900, Phoenix AZ 85003.
