Valley Metro

Due to the D-backs Race Against Cancer 5K, the 3rd St/Washington and Downtown Hub-Washington light rail stations will be closed from 7:15-9:15 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27. Riders are encouraged to use 3rd St/Jefferson for eastbound and westbound service during this time.

Did you know Valley Metro offers travel training?
Earlier this week, clients from Arizona Immigration and Refugee Services (AIRS) learned how to navigate our multimodal system. The training included a presentation, a bus ride, and a light rail trip, where participants practiced planning a trip, paying their fare, signaling stops and more.
We know riding transit for the first time can feel intimidating, and we want to make the experience as seamless as possible for future riders. Learn more: https://pulse.ly/tgzfzatcd9 🚌 🚈
