“The Regional Transportation Authority has listened to residents of Picture Rocks and their call for public transportation,” RTA Executive Director Farhad Moghimi said in the news release. “We are interested in working with the community through this pilot project to test the interest in using Sun Shuttle. We encourage residents to provide their input at the upcoming meeting to be part of the process to deliver the best possible service to the community.
“This pilot program is part of our ongoing commitment to providing quality transit service throughout southern Arizona,” Moghimi said. “The shuttle service will be open to anyone, and will be a great time to try this neighborhood transit option.” Community members are encouraged to attend an input meeting on Monday, September 19, as transit planners are working out the schedule and frequency of the new service and need help from the public. The meeting will be from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Picture Rocks Community Center, located at 5615 N. Sanders Road.
