Valley Metro
Rail System Fact SheetOPERATIONSValley Metro Rail operates 365 days a year, 20+ hours a day, with 12-minute peak frequency. The cost of operations is supported by rail member cities, passenger fares and advertising.
Rail service is coordinated with bus to provide a seamless transit network for customers. Transit passes can be purchased at fare vending machines located at each station, online or from retail outlets valleywide. Security officers regularly patrol the system and ask passengers at random for proof of payment. Violators are subject to fines ranging from $50 to $500 and can lose their transit privileges.
The Valley Metro Rail system connects the region to the cities of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. It provides connections to work, education and entertainment. There are many sports, shopping, restaurants and arts and culture destinations along the line. Valley Metro Rail also connects to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with PHX Sky Train® at the 44th St/Washington station.
Rail is a catalyst for jobs and economic development with $11 billion in public and private sector investment since 2008.
FUTURE EXPANSIONSeven high-capacity extensions are planned or under construction to create a 66-mile system by 2034. The Valley Metro Rail Board of Directors sets the policy direction for the system with the intent of advancing regional public transit in the Valley.
