Thrive in the ‘05

Debuting a new route, featuring some of the most historic neighborhoods in Tucson.

This Cyclovia route was developed in partnership with the Thrive in the ‘05 initiative.

The Thrive in the ‘05 Transformation plan is a community-driven vision that ‘cultivates sustainable transformation through resiliency, reinvestment, and shared leadership.’ In Fall of 2022, Cyclovia Tucson participants had the chance to engage with new art and infrastructure on the route produced by Thrive neighborhood residents and artists. In the months before Cyclovia, Living Streets Alliance facilitated three quick-build projects that combined traffic calming treatments with murals painted on the street. These projects were implemented over three Block-Painting Parties with neighbors, sharing food, music and stories.

How to get to Cyclovia

  • Traveling by bus

    The public transit SunTran bus runs every 30 or 60 minutes on the weekend depending on the route. Find detailed routes by getting directions on Google Maps from your house to your arrival destination and select the transit mode.

    If you’re arriving downtown, navigate to Ronstadt Transit Center. Joining us midway? Navigate to Santa Rita Park. If you’d like to start from South Tucson, navigate to Mission View Elementary. If you bike or roll to Cyclovia, consider riding the Sun Tran bus home after a long day out at the event.

  • Traveling by streetcar

    Walk to or park at Mercado San Agustin to the west or the University of Arizona at Helen St/Warren Ave to the east and ride to the Downtown Banner–University Medicine Hub at Jácome Plaza.

    Stops at Stone Ave/Broadway Blvd (westbound) and Stone Ave/Congress St (eastbound) will deliver you right to the route.

  • Traveling by bicycle, foot, or wheelchair

    Start your Cyclovia fun at one of seven Activity Hubs to check out the route map and enjoy local DJs, food trucks, activities, and giveaways. Find the Activity Hubs on the searchable, interactive map or the downloadable map at the top of the page.

  • Renting a Bicycle or Scooter

    Find a TuGo Bike Share location near you to rent and ride to the route or stop by a TuGo station on the route.
