Welcome to Tucson! Congratulations to the Arizona Department of Transportation for finishing the I-10 Widening Project ahead of schedule, and well in advance of the 2010 Showcase! We hope you find it easy to navigate your way through the gems and fossils using our new stretch of freeway. Below are some links you also may find helpful.
Shuttles Because Gem Ride was largely funded by state money to ease transit during the I-10 Widening Project, the service is now discontinued. However, many shows will be running their own shuttles, which you can find listed to the right. For specific routes and hours, contact shows directly. Transportation Options For Showcase Patrons Sun Tran Our public bus system may be of service-please call (520) 792-9222 or visit their website for route maps and schedules. Note their Downtown Loop shuttle, which can place riders within walking distance of a few gem shows. Parking Limited parking is available at shows (please call individual shows for details) and parking will continue to be available at 22nd St. and I-10 frontage road (East side), and Congress St. and I-10 frontage road (West side) as well as at the JOGS show at Tucson Expo Center on East Irvington Road. More parking information will be posted here as we receive it from Parkwise. Additional Information For more about the Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions and History of the Gem Show pages. |  | Show-Specific Shuttles We have been informed that the following shows will be running shuttles serving their own shows.
