Streetcar Information
About
Tempe Streetcar is the first modern streetcar line in the Valley. It will serve one of the highest transit ridership centers in the region and connect riders to neighborhoods, major business centers, and regional events and destinations. The line will cover 3 miles and have 14 stops. Final design plans are complete and utility relocation and track installation continues throughout the alignment. Track installation on Mill Avenue between University Drive and Rio Salado Parkway will be May 13 - August 16, 2019. The streetcar is expected to open for ridership in 2021.
