Light Rail


In 2008 Valley Metro, the Regional Public Transportation Authority, will complete construction on the new light rail system. Traveling at speeds of up to 55 mph over existing streets and receiving priority at traffic signals, this system will help to move an estimated 3,000-5,000 people per hour across the Valley.

Downtown Tempe will be home to two light rail stations and will have three more within walking distance of Mill Avenue. For more information on Valley Metro's planned light rail system please visit the Valley Metro web site.
