Siemens Mobility to deliver 14 light rail trains to Phoenix 

“Additional light rail fleet supports our mission of connecting communities, especially as we close in on the 2024 completion date of South Central Extension/Downtown Hub,” said Scott Smith, Valley Metro CEO. “As our transit system grows, so must our fleet to accommodate new miles of service and additional riders across metro Phoenix.”
“Phoenix is currently the fifth largest city in the U.S. and is continuing to grow steadily. As urbanization accelerates, sustainable transport systems are becoming more important than ever – and we very much welcome Valley Metro’s decision to expand the city’s public transportation system. Siemens Mobility will deliver light rail trains that provide greater passenger comfort and improved availability,” said Albrecht Neumann, CEO of Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility.
