Pre-registration required. Please see Registration Help Desk to inquire about space available. 

Valley Metro’s 5-mile light rail extension to South Central Phoenix is the largest system expansion since the construction of the original 20-mile light rail line. The project includes 11 new stations with artwork by 18 local artists. The design involves conversion of an arterial street to a pedestrian plaza, two roundabouts with LRT, five traction power substations and a new park and ride. Slated to open in 2024, the extension survived a challenge in 2019, when Phoenix votes rejected Proposition 105 and the “4 Lane No Train” campaign, both of which sought to halt the project. Learn about the various phases of construction and experience first hand the South Phoenix community as it evolves through construction.
