Tucson

Tucson's first tram, Sun Link, opened on July 25, 2014. It runs from the University of Arizona to Mercado via the Main Gate business district, historic Fourth Avenue, and the downtown area. That makes it a mainstay of the city's economic, social, and cultural life, all now wheelchair-accessible.

RATP Dev was chosen from the outset to maintain and operate the line. Well before the July 2014 inauguration, teams from RATP Dev's American subsidiary worked closely with the Tucson authorities. In particular, they hired and trained staff to ensure the best possible service from day one.

Durham

Starting in August of 2023 RATPDev committed to restoring service to 100% of budgeted service (or pre-pandemic) levels, starting in January of 2024. The challenge was immense, however, by utilizing new technologies and methodologies provided by RATPDev USA, we were able to rapidly staff up, engage and retain sufficient operator new hire levels to fulfill our commitment and even grow the service in preparation for service enhancement and increases starting in April of 2024.

In order to overcome this challenge, RATP Dev USA recommended wage parity, and was able to increase wages for operators.
