Get ready for some fun! Sun Tran is rolling into its 50^th year of service, and kicking off the celebration at the Laos Transit Center (205 West Irvington Road) with a lively pop-up event. Join us Wednesday, April 23, from noon to 2 p.m. for music, prizes, and community fun.

This fun-filled afternoon event will include:

• Music from our Laos Transit Center Spotify playlist!
• Fun transit-themed prizes
• Refreshing water and soft drinks
• Face painting for all ages
• Local community resources booths

The celebration does not stop there! Sun Tran will be popping up at all the transit centers throughout the year to keep the party rolling:

• Tohono Transit Center Celebration (4540 North Stone Avenue) – Thursday, August 14, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
• Ronstadt Transit Center (215 East Congress Street) – Friday, September 19, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Laos Transit Center is a special place in Tucson’s transit history. Opened in September 1987, it was the first transit center in the city, built on the south side and named after Roy Laos, the pioneer who founded Occidental Bus Lines. It is only fitting that the celebration begins where it all began!

Title VI and Major Service Changes Coming in August 2025 and Updates to the Sun Van COA

Sun Tran hosted a series of Title VI Open House Meetings to engage with the community about equitable transit and upcoming service changes. Riders and community members were encouraged to attend and provide feedback on the future of public transportation. During these meetings, there was also a discussion about the implementation of Sun Tran’s Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) and an update on Sun Van’s COA.

What is Sun Van’s COA?

What is Title VI?

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ensures that no person in the United States is excluded, denied benefits, or discriminated against based on race, color, or national origin in federally funded programs. Sun Tran is committed to upholding these protections by ensuring fair and inclusive transit services for all riders.

“Sun Tran is proud to partner with the Salvation Army once again for the Stuff-the-Bus event,” said Sun Tran General Manager Mikel Oglesby. “Last year, our community donated an incredible 909 toys, including 65 bicycles, and $160 in cash contributions. These generous donations truly embody the spirit of giving and make a lasting impact on local families. We look forward to another successful year of spreading holiday cheer.”

This year’s drive aims to surpass last year’s remarkable contributions in an effort to see that no child goes without a gift this holiday season.
