🎉 Congratulations to @valleymetro for being named the 2026 Outstanding Public Transportation System of the Year by @APTA_Transit 🎉
Valley Metro is an important part of the Phoenix metropolitan area by helping residents get where they need to go—safely, affordably and reliably. I'm proud to have secured more than $1 million in federal funding for their Community Safety Project.
In Congress, I’ll continue fighting to expand a clean, affordable public transportation system for our community.

In honor of World #CarFreeDay, thank you for choosing Metro – today and every day. 🚇🚌🚲
According to @APTA_info:
⛽ 6 billion gallons of gas is saved each year by using public transit
💸 87% of trips directly benefit the local economy
💼 50% of trips power the workforce
No mode of transportation is perfect, but we’re still the best way to get around the DMV!

Transit connects our communities to jobs, schools, healthcare + each other.
Working with regional partners, we helped bring home nearly $83M for new T cars. And yesterday I met with @PGHtransit about what we can deliver next.
Pittsburgh deserves transit that works for everyone.
