Notes: 1 Larger paratransit vehicles are often recommended because they offer enhanced operating conditions and have a longer replacement cycle. Larger vehicles allow for more passengers and passengers using mobility devices to be transported. 2 Values in italics are from Valley Metro’s 2017 Transit Performance Report. 3 The region’s first streetcar system is currently under development and not yet operational in Metro Phoenix. Streetcar values are based on 2015 NTD data. 4 The commuter rail is not currently operating in Metro Phoenix. 5 The values reported in this matrix are general characteristics. The speed, costs, and service frequency of transit modes can vary by time of day and day of the week.
