What makes LINK unique?
Like a train, the LINK can zip past traffic. LINK vehicles have traffic signal priority, meaning that stoplights wait to turn red until they pass. Plus, like a rail line, the LINK runs a streamlined route from the Superstition Springs Park-and-Ride to the Sycamore Transit Center, connecting to METRO light rail. LINK also connects the Chandler Park-and-Ride, located at Germann Rd and Hamilton St, to METRO light rail at the Sycamore Transit Center.
RTP Expansion
