Capitol District & I-10 West Corridor Visioning Workshops

The City of Phoenix secured a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant to advance two Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) projects in two critical areas: the Capitol District and the I-10 West Corridor.

These TOC projects are strategically designed to enhance the Capitol District and I-10 West Corridor communities in anticipation of Valley Metro Light Rail extensions into these areas.

Capitol District Visioning Workshop

Transit oriented communities are compact, walkable neighborhoods centered around transit. The City of Phoenix is developing a plan for transit oriented communities around the light rail extension into the Capitol District and we want to hear your vision for the area!

The community-based vision will serve as a foundation for the project team to develop supporting illustrations, policies, and strategies toward implementing more walkable transit oriented communities.
