Map To the Museum
The Streetcar connects visitors with four business districts, the University of Arizona, and several Tucson neighborhoods. Running four miles from the Mercado San Agustín on the west side of I-10, across the Downtown Core, along Fourth Avenue, and through Main Gate Square to the University of Arizona, the streetcar is an easy and fun way to see the city center.
