The city is about to add a new 15-mile transit line that will run directly from the Tucson Mall, through downtown and all the way to the airport.
“My husband usually takes me or we go together,” said Shirley Slocum, Tucson resident.
Laura de la Torre lives in downtown Tucson. She drives herself to the airport, and pays around $7 a day for parking. Right now, there’s only one route for Tucsonans taking public transit from downtown to the airport. But it takes three times longer than driving.The city is about to change that with a new 15-mile transit line. This line will run directly from the Tucson Mall, through downtown and all the way to the airport.
Business development is expected along this transit line, and could impact more than 30 neighborhoods. Many of which are historically made up of low-income, marginalized communities. Sansom and his team are working on a plan called Tucson Norte-Sur to ensure this development benefits these areas, along with the rest of Tucson.
