Despite the state of the economy, Tucson's plan to launch a modern streetcar system is said to be on schedule.
It's supposed to be up and running by the spring of 2011.
The city may have to scrape together the remaining $75 million needed from several federal sources.
But the city manager's office says the money appears to be coming.
The streetcar will run from University Medical Center through the University of Arizona and into the west side of downtown Tucson.
It will operate on a fixed electric rail system at street level with other vehicles.
