The City of Phoenix Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) team is beginning its next phase of community outreach for the City's first BRT Corridor – 35th Avenue.
The Phoenix BRT Program will host two community workshops, three business workshops and various pop-up events in February and March, with feedback opportunities open through April 6, 2025. In addition, there will also be a virtual open house for those who prefer to obtain information and materials online.
Community input is critical at this stage and will help guide the design of BRT along this corridor. Members of the public will have an opportunity to learn about the two BRT lane options and give feedback. To check out the corridor map, online content and for more details visit MeetPhoenixBRT.com.

About Transportation 2050: In Aug. 2015, Phoenix voters approved Transportation 2050 (T2050), a 35-year citywide transportation plan. T2050 is overseen by the Citizens Transportation Commission and includes improved frequency on local bus service, new light rail service and stations and major street improvement projects. Funding for T2050 comes from a 7/10ths of a cent city sales tax that started Jan. 1, 2016. Over the life of the plan, the funds are estimated to generate about $16.7 billion, or more than half of the plan's overall cost. There will be an additional $14.8 billion in federal and county funds, passenger fares and other sources. For more information, visit the T2050 page or follow Phoenix Public Transit, Phoenix Street Transportation and Valley Metro on X.
About the Phoenix BRT Program: BRT, or bus rapid transit, is a high-capacity bus service that provides a fast, reliable and convenient transit experience. BRT is unique because there are no universal standards. This means BRT can be planned and designed to best meet the needs of the community it serves. However, there are a series of recurring elements found in successful BRT systems, and the more elements that are incorporated into a system, the more likely it is to succeed as an effective, efficient transportation service.
