Myth #9: Transportation Options

The city is testing a new transit option this summer called microtransit, which will allow residents to use an app to request a ride within a dedicated service area. It will work similar to how you can request an Uber or Lyft. Be on the lookout for more info on how you can test this new option out! This is just one way that Goodyear is working to increase the variety of transportation available.

This past year, Bird e-scooters were added around the city as a new way to travel in Goodyear. Instead of hopping in your car to visit the recreation campus, a local restaurant or a friend across town, you can now hop on a Bird. Bird is an electric scooter that can be rented by the minute by anyone 18-years and older with a valid license or permit. Learn more about riding one, including the rules, where to park and how to report concerns at goodyearaz.gov/escooters.

You can also travel all across the Valley without ever filling up your gas tank. There are several bus routes that will take you to Downtown Phoenix, to the Phoenix Zoo and beyond! The city also offers Dial-A-Ride and RideChoice services for ADA-certified customers. All of these services are operated by Valley Metro and information is available at valleymetro.org.
