Phoenix commuters should prepare for President Donald Trump's visit to the city Tuesday.
Valley Metro says neither the light rail nor bus schedule will be re-routed or stopped for the president's planned rally in Phoenix at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
However, officials did say those using the services should prepare for potential delays and prepare for longer-than-usual travel times on public transportation.
Valley Metro Spokeswoman Corinne Holliday said they have beefed up staffing and will have extra light rail trains for the event.
"Valley Metro is prepared with additional staff and resources to ensure rider safety and minimize any service disruptions," Holliday said. "That includes additional staff, additional operators, additional trains, additional security. So when we say resources that involves all of those various aspects, technicians."
The Arizona State University downtown shuttle is also planning on delays, but will not re-route and will operate at the usual stops.
