Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency#

About These Maps:#

  • Each map shows bus (and rail, if applicable) speeds for Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency, with a map each for the AM Peak, Midday, and PM Peak periods on February 12 2025 (Wednesday).

  • On the map, routes are split into segments corresponding to the distance between two stops, allowing you to focus on specific portions of the route experiencing a slowdown.

  • Route segments are arrow-shaped to indicate direction of travel. Thicker segments indicate more frequent transit routes.

  • State Highway Network routes are outlined in gray.

  • Hover over, a segment with your mouse to see the exact speed, route name, and transit service frequency in that segment.

    • Higher-frequency routes (3+ trips per hour) are especially important, since those slowdowns correspond to more vehicles, and riders, delayed in traffic.

  • Route segments with no data are now shown as thin, dark gray or black segments. These may be due to the route not running at that time of day, or a data availability or processing issue.
