Help the city determine improvements to create a more equitable, effective and efficient transit network!

Sun Systems Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) study beginning, public input requested!

Public is encouraged to attend the pop-up meetings, join the virtual public meeting, and provide comments through February 17, 2023.

 

The City of Tucson, in partnership with the Pima Association of Governments (PAG), is evaluating all aspects of Sun Tran, Sun Link, Sun Express, and Sun Shuttle services throughout Tucson and the greater Tucson area to determine potential improvements to create a more equitable, effective and efficient transit network. This analysis is called a Comprehensive Operational Analysis, or a COA. The City and PAG are requesting public input on these systems to ensure the future transit network better responds to community needs.

Whether you are a rider or not, the study team wants your input, and there are several ways you can get involved.

Comments will be accepted anytime between January 23 and February 17, 2023, using any of the options below. You will also be asked to take a quick survey on the current state of Sun Systems and your feedback will be critical to the COA process and the future of transit in the Tucson and greater Tucson area.
