Changes to Valley Metro’s Bus Route #13
On Monday 10/28, Valley Metro’s Bus Route #13 (Buckeye Rd.) made significant changes, and will now only stop at the 24th St. Sky Train Station, northwest curb, outside sign/marker #9 (see map below). The bus stop has a schedule posted and expects busing headways every 30 minutes (a bus arrives every 30 minutes).
Also, Valley Metro no longer sells paper tickets. Customers need to pay through the Valley Metro App or a reloadable Copper Card (sold at Circle K stores or valleymetrofares.org). More information is available at https://www.valleymetro.org/fares/where-to-buy
Previously, route #13 made several stops along Buckeye Rd. and ended service at the West Economy Parking Garage. These bus stops and all signage are being removed. These changes were coordinated with Public Transit, Valley Metro and PHX OPS.
Other Valley Metro routes can be found at the 44th St. Station (route #44 – 44th St., or the Light Rail), which also have a posted schedule.

Road restrictions and construction updates are a click away: Improving PHX, DVT and GYR is where you can find important notices about projects that are ongoing and coming soon.
Report Safety Hazards
All employees have a right to a safe workplace and should feel comfortable to report unsafe conditions. A work environment becomes safer when many people are alert to potential hazards and can quickly report them. Access to the form can be found on https://forms.skyharbor.aero under the Safety dropdown tab. This form can also be completed using a mobile device.
The Safety Hazard Incident Reporting form should be used to report non-emergency safety concerns at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The form is not intended for reporting emergencies. If the safety concern is an emergency, call 602-273-3311 immediately. If you have any questions of a safety concern, please email to avn.safety@phoenix.gov or call 602-495-SAFE (7233).

Keep Your Eyes Out for Compassion Cacti™ Lanyards
America’s Friendliest Airport® offers the Compassion Cacti™ Lanyard Program, which is aimed at providing an extra-friendly hand to customers who need more time or additional assistance when traveling through the airport.
Customers, their parents, caregivers or guardians can request a Compassion Cacti™ lanyard prior to their next visit to the airport by completing a request form at skyharbor.com.
- Requests will be reviewed by customer service staff within 5-7 business days.
- Once processed, customers can pick up their lanyard at the Compassion Corner Office by showing a photo ID prior to or on the day of travel.
- When a customer wears the lanyard, PHX Airport employees will know that the passenger may need extra assistance, or a little more time at the check-in counter, security checkpoint and other areas.
- The Compassion Cacti lanyards can be kept and used each time the passenger travels through PHX, but the lanyard will only be recognized at PHX.
The Compassion Corner is located in Terminal 4 on level 3 behind elevator B in the Chapel at PHX. For additional information and assistance, please email skyharbor@phoenix.gov or call 602-534-0293.
