City hosting public meeting to gather input on public transportation
On Thursday, January 7th, the City of Maricopa Development Services Department will host a public meeting to gather information from potential transit riders, their travel behavior and obtain their input on transit issues.
This is the first public meeting in a 5-month Transit Feasibility Study Update that will identify potential transit solutions for Maricopa residents. The study will not only define the most promising routes internal and external to Maricopa, but will also build a solid foundation for possible future transit expansion within the Pinal County region.
“We need all potential transit riders to participate in the transit study update,” said Director Brent Billingsley. “The information we gather will be incredibly valuable in addressing transit needs that will affect the entire community for a long time.”

Suspect arrested in theme park pass scam
Following a two month investigation Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) Detectives assigned to financial crimes arrested a Phoenix area man for selling fraudulent theme park passes to unsuspecting buyers.
The suspect advertised the tickets and passes on CraigsList and would then meet the victims in person to sell groups of un-validated passes stolen from area retailers for hundreds of dollars. Many of the victims and their families made the trip to southern California only to find out that the passes were of no value.
Angered and frustrated, victims contacted DPS detectives who began a thorough investigation which led to the arrest. The suspect was booked into the Maricopa County 4th Avenue Jail on charges of Fraudulent Schemes, a class two felony. (A.R.S. 13-2310)
