The project will evaluate the expansion of Valley Metro Streetcar by approximately four miles, from downtown Tempe into Arizona's third-largest city, Mesa.
HDR has experience with streetcar projects, having provided engineering, architectural, environmental, and construction work on streetcar projects in over 30 cities in North America.
From rebranding to alternative fuel initiatives, the agency serving the Oklahoma City region has come a long way throughout the last decade.
HDR previously led preliminary design, defining the streetcar's route, stop locations, vehicle specifications, and more.
This delivery expands the Portland Streetcar fleet and allows for more frequent and reliable service.
The record ridership is attributed to population growth along the Streetcar line, visitors in town for events, and an overall return in Hillsborough County tourism.
The OKC Streetcar was one of the 2009 voter-approved MAPS 3 transit projects.
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.
In addition to working on a transition to zero-emissions vehicles, the agency is also constructing a new streetcar system, testing microtransit, and continuing projects to making traversing the region simpler thanks to funding from its Measure M sales tax.
