My dad used Phoenix Transit every day to get from our West Phoenix home to his job selling shoes at the Park Central JC Penney. It was a lifeline for our working class family. That’s why I’ll always support public transportation & why it meant so much to celebrate @ValleyMetro’s 2026 Outstanding Public Transportation System award from @APTA_Transit. 🧵
