The Arizona Department of Transportation and the City of Nogales have joined together to explore the feasibility of initiating public transportation within the City. Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates has been hired to assist with this effort.

Public input will be a critical component for the Nogales Transit Feasibility Review and Implementation Plan. The Project Team is hosting a series of public workshops during the course of the project. The project’s second public workshop will be held at the Nogales Senior Citizen Center, 125 Madison Street on Tuesday, June 6th, from 10:00AM to 11:30AM. This meeting will focus on the needs of Nogales’ senior citizens. Times and locations for future public workshops will be announced as the project advances.

"I encourage the residents of Nogales to participate in this public meeting. We are making progress toward accomplishing our goal of having a reliable transit system, and we need your ideas," said Council Member Armando Lopez. He added, "This system will be used by Nogales residents and visitors, so I would like to take this opportunity to invite the people of Ambos Nogales to give us their input on the proposed Transit System."
