PHX Sky Train design released
Thursday, 27 May 2010 08:04
The PHX Sky Train will be silver with black accents and a white roof and will feature the Trademark PHX logo on the sides.
“It was critical to us that the design reflect the spirit of the airport, while remaining cool in the desert climate. I’m very excited about the result,” said Jane Morris, Assistant Aviation Director.
Stage one of the PHX Sky Train will transport Airport visitors and employees between METRO light rail, east economy parking and Terminal 4, which serves 80 percent of Sky Harbor’s passengers. It will be completed in early 2013.
Stage two, which will continue through the Airport all the way to the Rental Car Center, will be up and running in 2020.
The airport train station will be located on the southwest corner of 44th and Washington streets, where passengers are currently being serviced with a free shuttle to the airport.
“The PHX Sky Train project is putting thousands of Arizonans back to work,” said Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. “And when it is complete, it will serve as an example for the nation of multi-modal transportation, providing a seamless connection between the Airport and METRO light rail.”
Bombardier Transportation was chosen last year as the train system provider and has been working with the Phoenix Aviation Department ever since on its specific design.
Hensel Phelps is the construction manager for the first stage of the train’s stations and elevated guide-way tracks.
