Changes could be coming to two Sun Tran routes.
Sun Tran and the Department of Transportation and Mobility had identified five routes as low-performing:
- Route 5 (Pima Street / West Speedway Boulevard)
- Route 15 (Campbell Road)
- Route 21 (Wesy Congress Street / Silverbell Road)
- Route 22 (El Rio Drive / West Speedway Boulevard)
- Route 61 (La Cholla Boulevard)
As of right now, the focus is on a restructuring of Route 5 and Route 22. Sun Tran and the City say savings could rise to up to $1 million annually by eliminating Route 5 and extending Route 22 to Pima Community College West Campus.
