SUN TRAN TO HOST PUBLIC PUBLIC MEETING TOMORROW FOR ROUTES 5 AND 22 - Sun Tran is hosting a series of meetings to gather community feedback on the possible elimination of Route 5 and the extension of Route 22. The next of several meetings will be tomorrow, May 15, at noon, at Quincie Douglas Library, 1585 E. 36th St. The Department of Transportation and Mobility and Sun Tran were directed to determine the five lowest-performing routes in the transit system and find operational and budget efficiencies. Sun Tran identified Route 5 (Pima/West Speedway), Route 15 (Campbell), Route 21 (West Congress/Silverbell), Route 22 (El Rio/West Speedway), and Route 61 (La Cholla) as the lowest-performing routes. The City of Tucson would net a cost savings of $1 million annually by extending Route 22 to Pima Community College West Campus and eliminating Route 5. Community members are encouraged to attend any of the in-person or virtual meetings, which you can find by following the link below.
