Light Rail - South Central Expansion

The South Central Extension is in the design phase.

  • On September 26, 2018, the Phoenix City Council voted to continue to move forward with the current two-lane design for the South Central Light Rail Extension. The vote followed a previous council decision, which requested Valley Metro look into a four-lane design and conduct extensive community outreach. With council approval, Valley Metro staff and city of Phoenix will continue to advance the project and work closely with the community.

  • Valley Metro is continuing to survey the South Central Extension to identify locations of underground utilities. Surveying will cover the entire light rail alignment from Baseline Road to the downtown area with an expected ending period in early 2019. 

  • There are current job openings to join the South Central Extension team. Learn more about the available positions.
