Use the T.I.C.E.T.—Reduce Downtown Workday Miles Driven

Downtown workers can save gas, time, money, and air quality by using the Tucson Inner City Express Transit (T.I.C.E.T.). Have a meeting at the UofA? Have plans to go to lunch on 4th Avenue? Need to get over to the Commerce Park Loop? Consider leaving your vehicles and the County motor pool vehicles parked…the T.I.C.E.T. can get you there!

The T.I.C.E.T. is a free shuttle running on five routes through the Downtown area, five to seven days a week depending upon the route. The free shuttles provide a convenient way to take you to your too-far-to-walk meetings or errands, or can take you from your parking spot to nearly any Downtown location. Funded by parking revenues, T.I.C.E.T. is sponsored by the City of Tucson's ParkWise program. All vehicles are handicap accessible. General route information is listed below.

Orange Route: Stops between Tucson City Court and Manning House, Monday-Friday from 6:00AM-6:00PM, 20 minute intervals, 7 stops, 2 transfer points

Green Route: Stops between Hotel Congress and Catalina Parking Lot, Monday-Friday from 6:00AM-6:00PM, 20 minute intervals, 6 stops, 3 transfer points

Yellow Express Route: Stops between Old Pima County Courthouse and Catalina Parking Lot, Monday-Friday from 6:30AM-9:00AM and 3:00PM-5:30PM, 10 minute intervals, 5 stops, 2 transfer points

Reducing the miles you drive helps keep our air clean, saves gasoline and money, reduces congestion, and may even save you time.
