• What does the Orbit look like (view picture)
• Existing Routes (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter)

In 1996, Tempe voters passed a dedicated sales tax to fund transit improvements, including neighborhood circulator  routes. This free service uses mini buses to serve residential areas and connect them to: local destinations such as shopping areas, other neighborhoods, major bus routes, schools and multi-generational centers. A policy of "flag stops" is used to provide maximum convenience to passengers and to avoid placing designated stops near homes. The city has placed information posts near non-residential facilities such as schools, churches and multi-generational centers. Drivers will be extensively trained to be aware of surrounding automobiles, bicyclists and pedestrians. Formal bus stops must be used at all times on major streets such as Rural Road or Mill Avenue.

At this time, proposed Orbit expansions are on hold. Please continue to visit this web site for updates.
