Valley Embraces Transit with the RTP Facing skyrocketing growth, voters cast their ballots in 2004 in support
of Proposition 400 funds, which is also known as regional public trans-
portation funds. A portion of this half-cent sales tax goes to regional
transit projects in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This funding,
plus revenue from local city sales taxes dedicated to transit, as well as
some federal matching dollars, work together to provide $8.6 billion
in transit projects and services. Varied funding sources--from regional
to local--direct dollars to dedicated projects and services. No single
funding source currently provides for all of our needs, but they work
together for a more comprehensive transit system.
Combined with federal matching funds and other funding sources,
revenues from the half-cent sales tax will help provide $7.7 billion
(2006 dollars) in public transportation improvements through 2026.
“Expanded and enhanced transit service was a primary goal as we developed the current Regional Transportation Plan. I am pleased to report that projects are being implemented to provide a com-prehensive and practical multi-modal system that will benefi t all residents in our region now and in the future.”
Glendale Mayor Elaine ScruggsChair, Valley Metro RPTA

Local Input Shapes the RTP
After years of study and teamwork, and receiving broad-based
input from the public, the Transportation Policy Committee (TPC)
of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) developed the
Regional Transportation Plan
The 23-member committee TPC includes representatives from
both private and public entities
Success of the plan was accomplished through a mixture of hard
work and a common goal: to build a sustainable and economically
sound regional transportation system
The big picture of the plan includes:
» New and improved freeways with better access and more
capacity
» Improved streets and intersections to relieve congestion
» Twenty-eight miles of extensions to the planned 30-mile
light rail system
» New or enhanced bus service on 28 routes, plus 12 new routes
» New regional transit capital projects including park-and-rides,
transit centers, maintenance facilities, and improved transit
technologies
» Safety planning, computerized freeway management, litter
control and landscaping

Express/Bus Rapid Transit Service The plan funds a region wide expansion of commuter Express bus service on freeways that off er direct links to downtown Phoenix and major activity centers. Known as bus rapid transit (BRT), the Regional Transportation Plan includes a new type of bus service on arterial streets that will function as an extension of the METRO light rail line. The characteristics of BRT may include one or more of the following: faster boarding times, limited stops, streamlined buses, boarding from front and rear doors, enhanced bus stops with more shading, and real time passenger information.
RAPID is a freeway-based BRT commuter service with limited stops that operate from Phoenix park-and ride locations to downtown Phoenix. Express bus service from locations across the Valley may include more stops before reaching major activity centers, including downtown Phoenix.

RAIL Light Rail / High-Capacity Transit
The cities of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa have funded the construction and operations of the initial 20-mile Central
Phoenix/East Valley light rail segment of METRO. The initial segment will be enhanced by a 5-mile, a 3.2-mile and a
1.4-mile extension, equaling nearly 30 miles of light rail/high-capacity transit funded with local and federal dollars.*
Proposition 400 will fund the construction of 27.7 additional miles of light rail/high-capacity, as well as regional capital
to support equipment and facilities (light rail vehicles, infrastructure and operations and maintenance facilities).

Facilities To support the expansion of transit service through 2026, the plan also funds new park-and-ride lots,
transit centers, bus stops, shelters, operations and maintenance facilities and vehicles. These projects are dependent upon
funding received by local and regional sales tax revenues, as well as available federal matching dollars. Bus routes listed
below may not all begin with the opening of the park-and-ride. For start-up date of individual routes, refer to the super
grid and express/BRT bus lists on pages 5 and 7.

New Technologies The public transportation
funds, or Proposition 400 funds, will provide for new Intelligent
Transportation Systems projects to aid passengers in
getting information in a timely manner and to aid in system
management. Projects include automatic vehicle location, an
upgraded radio system, real time and next bus information and
new fare collection systems.
Rural and Other Transit Routes Proposition 400 began funding a portion of the Valley Metro
regional connector services in 2006: Route 685 Gila Bend
connector and Route 660 Wickenburg connector. These services
allow residents in rural communities to access shopping,
education, doctors and employment. The Sun Cities Area Transit
(SCAT) is also partially funded with RTP resources.
Paratransit Service Public transportation funds provide support for the complementary paratransit service required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in areas that have local bus service. An allocation of seven percent of the transit funding in the plan is provided for paratransit or ADA service. Local cities and towns receive their annual allocations based upon operating costs of their individual paratransit programs. Funding is also provided for paratransit vehicles. Over the next twenty years, the fl eet of paratransit vehicles will be replaced as well as expanded. The city of Phoenix funds ADA service that operates within the city.
Vanpool Program Proposition 400 also helps sustain the Valley Metro regional vanpool program with funding of new and replacement fl eet each year. The vanpool program supports the entire transit system by providing a more customized commuter service to those outlying areas
