Background

Perspective
In 2015, Phoenix voters approved Proposition 400 which included adding a bus rapid transit system to the city. Phoenix BRT had 6 options for the first bus rapid transit line.
In Early 2020, Phoenix BRT started its Initial Outreach which started with a new website.
In Mid 2020, Phoenix BRT started meetings with the general public.
In Late 2020, Phoenix BRT started showing presentations to the general public.
In Late 2021, Phoenix BRT had online meetings and viewers gave the opinion on what line they liked best.
The six lines were given were:
- Camelback Road and 24th Street
- Indian School Road and 24th Street
- Thomas Road and 44th Street
- McDowell Road and 44th Street
- 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street
- 19th Avenue and Van Buren Street
The line that was chosen was the 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street line. The BRT line will run from the Thelda Williams Transit Center to Greg Stanton Central Station.
Lane Option B – center median lanes with central platforms was identified as the locally-preferred option in September 2025 and selected for implementation along the 35th Avenue Corridor.[5]
The eastern section of the 35th Avenue/Van Buren Street BRT will be mixed-running from 7th Avenue to Central Avenue due to limited roadway width, existing building infrastructure, and right-of-way impacts.
Construction of the 35th Avenue Corridor will begin in 2028 and will be completed in 2030. Construction of the Van Buren Street Corridor will begin in 2029 and will be completed in 2030.
It is planned that the Phoenix BRT will use the Copper Card and Valley Metro App when it opens in 2030.[6]
