With the GoTucson Transit app, Tucson residents and visitors can purchase their transit passes anywhere, thereby avoiding lines at the kiosks at the streetcar stops, transit centers, and sales outlets. Through the GoTucson Parking app, drivers can pay, extend, and manage their metered parking sessions using their smartphones, reducing the risk of parking tickets.
Both apps allow users to easily manage their transit or parking experience with a few taps on their mobile devices.
“By splitting the mobile applications into GoTucson Transit and GoTucson Parking, we are able to improve app functionality and design, making the overall experience faster and more intuitive,” said Drew Myers, director, operations, at Passport.
The railroad has issued a formal request for proposals to manufacturers for more than 800 new passenger railcars that will serve 14 long-distance routes nationwide.

Vehicles that improperly use busways and bus lanes, block bus stops, or illegally double-park will receive warning notices in the mail for an initial period of 60 days, followed by summonses thereafter.
The project, finalized on February 12, provides the city with two different configurations of high-definition cameras to outfit 16 buses in the Pretzel City Area Transit fleet.
