Phoenix Rising FC and Valley Metro announced a partnership to deliver an easygoing matchday experience for fans of the club.
Ridership on light rail exceeded average ridership by 60% for the entire six days of events, proving that public transit is essential to hosting an international mega-event, according to Valley Metro officials.
The operation, which covers three miles and features 14 stops, is Arizona’s first modern streetcar line.
The three-mile streetcar route will take riders to major employment centers, entertainment and event destinations, and historic neighborhoods, as well as connect to the regional transit network.
She joins the agency after coming out on top of an extensive, nationwide search following CEO Scott Smith’s retirement announcement in summer 2021.
The 1.6-mile light rail extension will provide frequent, reliable, sustainable, and safe public transportation, helping residents get to work, schools, healthcare facilities, recreational venues and more between downtown Phoenix and the planned redevelopment of the Metrocenter Mall.
Valley Metro partnered with Waymo and ASU to study autonomous vehicle travel.
During his tenure, he helped stabilize the organization, restore Valley Metro’s reputation, and lead the agency to new heights.
These are the first enhancements as part of a multi-year program that will also include mobile ticketing, reloadable smart cards, and more modern fare collection equipment.
Like the previous iteration of the Liberty Streetcar, the Liberty NXT Streetcars for Tempe Streetcar will utilize a lithium-ion battery onboard energy storage system to traverse sections of the alignment without dependence on an overhead catenary system.
