That Map includes all proposed expansions for the next ~15 years or so. Tis doesnt include an expanded PHX skyrain, nor does it cover the Commuter rail when/if that ever pans out.
I have heard of a few future ideas like more streetcars, A lightrail extension up to Skysong or Old Town and possibly a light rail line from Tempe south to Chandler Fashion or Downtown chandler
that is all very far out however.
If all the current proposals are built by 2030 that will be an amzing improvement from 2009 when the light rail first opened. 20 years we will have gone from nothing to a moderatly sized mass-transit systerm in a city everyone claims has no urabaninty and its ridership and TOD expextations have been wildly surpassed to boot.
Phoenix really is a mass-transit success story as unlikely as that would seem.
