To serve its growing population, the City of Phoenix’s Transit 2000 Plan called for improvements to local bus and Dial-a-Ride services, implementation of a light rail system and a new bus rapid transit (BRT) program. STV, in joint venture, provided program management, which included research, environmental studies, conceptual development, technical analysis and design services for the initial phase of Phoenix’s BRT program.
The system features specially designed high-capacity buses with custom exteriors and interiors. The vehicles use clean-burning liquefied natural gas and advanced guidance and communications technology.
