district, downtown and the redevelopment area west of downtown.
Benefits: The purpose of the Tucson Modern Streetcar Project is to address the need for improved connectivity
between Tucson's major activity centers. The modern streetcar will serve as an urban transit circulator to

documented in previous transportation planning and development initiatives. More specifically, the
proposed project is based on the need to connect major activity centers, create economic development,
support population and employment growth, improve transit service, and mitigate parking constraints.

of Line Segment 1 is now dependent on the critical path of COT and the Gadsden Company resolving the
development plan for the area west of the Santa Cruz River.
