Getting Around Phoenix

From its easily accessible and efficient airport to a full complement of professional transportation services, Greater Phoenix offers visitors convenience in travel.

Upon arrival, you will enjoy the superb location of Sky Harbor International Airport, which is just five minutes from Downtown Phoenix and only 20 to 30 minutes from most major resorts.

Car rental companies and shuttle services situated in and around Sky Harbor Airport provide hassle-free service. Greater Phoenix offers the efficient Valley Metro bus system, which extends to all areas of the city, and the free Copper Square DASH (Downtown Area Shuttle), which transports passengers night and day to places like US Airways Center, Chase Field, the State Capitol building, museums, and other downtown facilities. In addition to bus services, taxis and private cars can be hired. Pedicabs bike you to and from parking and around Downtown Phoenix for sporting events, performing arts and nightlife.

Construction efforts are now under way for a light rail system that will serve Sky Harbor Airport, as well as Downtown Phoenix, Tempe and other areas of high activity. The system is scheduled to be on line in 2009.
