Business Description
Tucson's Modern Streetcar is fixed-guideway electric rail system that will connect major activity centers. Construction is set to begin late 2011.
Tucson’s 3.9-mile streetcar route connects major activity centers: The University of Arizona, Arizona Health Sciences Center, Main Gate Square, 4th Avenue Business District, Congress Shopping and Entertainment District, Downtown Tucson, and the Downtown redevelopment area west of I-10, including the Mercado District.
Service frequency will be from 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM daily. The streetcar is expected to reach a stop every 10 minutes during the day and every 20 minutes during the evening.
The modern streetcar project is part of the $2.1 billion Regional Transportation Plan, approved by Pima County voters in May 2006. The project is funded by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and through federal and other regional funds. The City of Tucson and the RTA are co-managing the project. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the lead agency that oversees the project, ensuring project compliance, certification, and performance.
The modern streetcar is a fixed-guideway electric rail system that runs in traffic.
The modern streetcar project will trigger new jobs, spur economic development, and encourage transit-oriented development:
► Jobs related to project design and construction – The City of Tucson projects that 1,200 new jobs will be created as a direct result of project construction and that an additional 1,650 related jobs in over 19 industries will be created as a result of construction activities.
► Long-term jobs created – Research projects an estimated 1,480 long-term regional jobs created as a result of the streetcar.
► Increasing property values – More people living and working along the route means increasing value of existing properties along the alignment. Research projects an increase in area property values near transit lines of 2% to more than 30%.
Construction will begin late 2011.
