Sun Tran is teaming up with The Salvation Army of Tucson – continuing a community tradition since 2001 – to bring holiday joy to children with the annual Stuff-the-Bus toy drive. The community is invited to donate new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0-13 on Friday, December 12 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Walmart (7150 East Speedway Boulevard). View map below.

This year’s event will also include a special visit from Santa Claus, who will greet guest from 10 a.m. – noon and 4 p.m. – 6p.m.

Donors can drop off toys at the Sun Tran bus. Those unable to attend in-person can Stuff-the-Bus online through an online monetary donation at salvationarmytucson.org/stuff-the-bus.

“Each year, the Tucson community demonstrates remarkable generosity,” said Mikel Oglesby, Sun Tran General Manager. “Last year, more than 1,400 toys were donated, and this year we hope to exceed that achievement. Filling this bus means bringing holiday joy to families across the city, and we are grateful for everyone who helps make that possible.”

Help us Stuff-the-Bus to see that no child goes without a gift this holiday season.

Hop on Route 4!

Riders can conveniently take Route 4 to the Speedway Boulevard/ Kolb Road bus stop to join the festivities.

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 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.
