Community Engagement Phase I
In fall 2022, the Phoenix BRT team launched the 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street Corridor Community Outreach - Phase I Alternatives Analysis to seek input on preferences for BRT along the approved corridor, as well as continue to educate the community on BRT. These efforts focused on two key pieces, a survey – called the BRT Corridor Survey – and the MeetPhoenixBRT.com website.
Between October 21 and December 23, 2022, we engaged over 1,200 community members through the survey and website. Through these efforts, we received 340 survey responses.

Community Engagement Phase II
In Spring 2023, the Phoenix Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) team launched the second phase of community outreach. Outreach focused on educating the public on the elements and characteristics of BRT, the preliminary alternative concepts, and the evaluation criteria for the alternatives analysis process for the 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street corridor.
From February to June 2023, the BRT team used 14 different communication tools, distributed over 35 different notifications across various channels and connected with over 6,000 community members through our meetings, events, surveys, canvassing, and website/online tools.
