WATCH COMMUNITY TOWN HALL ABOUT OUR WATER FUTURE (VIDEO) - Many Tucson residents and stakeholders in the Tucson Water department engaged with City leaders and water utility representatives last week to learn about One Water 2100, an integrated approach to managing our water resources. A communitywide town hall was held last Tuesday, Aug. 16, at the Tucson Convention Center (Copper Ballroom), and that forum is now available for online viewing for everyone. The town hall was the start of the community engagement process for the One Water 2100 Master Plan that will guide water management, resources, and infrastructure over the next eight decades.

TRANSIT FARES POP-UP EVENTS CONTINUE THIS WEEK - Sun Tran is hosting numerous pop-up events this month to allow for in-person feedback on transit fares. The final August meeting will be held Wednesday, Aug. 24, from 5-6 p.m., at the University of Arizona Student Union (Santa Cruz Room), 1303 E. University Blvd. An online survey also is available to give the public a further chance to comment. Community feedback is essential to help transit policymakers and City leadership make informed decisions about the future of fares. These opportunities follow a series of public input meetings held in July, helping community members learn about transit policies and how to access the fares survey. This month, fares will be the primary focus of the meetings. English and Spanish-speaking staff will be available at many of the events. Along with the online survey and in-person opportunities, the public can also leave a comment by calling Sun Tran Customer Service at (520) 792-9222 or emailing suntraninfo@tucsonaz.gov.
