$15.7 Billion Transit Plan Endorsed
A massive 20-year transit plan for the Phoenix region to improve freeways, streets and transit has won unanimous approval from officials and business leaders.
"The plan includes $2.3 billion for the light rail system, $2.4 billion for regional buses and new general and carpool lanes on virtually every existing Valley freeway... The plan, bolstered by $480 million in last-minute street and freeway improvements aimed at pleasing residents across the Valley, goes to the Maricopa Association of Governments' Regional Council next week, where it is expected to be approved."
