Sun Tran plans to expand weeknight service on six routes and weekend service on eight routes starting Aug. 12.

The move is a continuation of the service improvements started last fall using funds from the Regional Transportation Authority, a voter-approved 20-year transportation plan.

The changes to weekend service vary by route, but one of the big changes is service to Ina Road on Route 16 on Sundays, said Michelle Joseph, Sun Tran spokeswoman. Route 16 already serves Ina Road on other days, but Sunday service will allow the route to continue to serve those who need it throughout the week, she said.

A few Downtown routes will have schedule changes as well, to improve on-time performance or to work around road projects.

"We're just trying to help our buses stay on time," Joseph said.

The following routes will be in service until 11 p.m. weeknights:

-Route 2: Palo Verde, Park Avenue

-Route 21: Silverbell, Congress

-Route 23: Irvington, Mission Road, Silverlake

-Route 26: Drexel, Benson Highway

-Route 27: Drexel, Midvale Park, 12th Avenue

-Route 29: Valencia, Sixth Avenue

The following routes will have expanded weekend service:

-Route 3: Sixth Street, Wilmot, Pima College East and West.

- Route 4: Speedway, University of Arizona

- Route 6: South Park Avenue, North First Avenue, Tucson International Airport.

- Route 7: 22nd Street

- Route 8: Broadway, Sixth Avenue

- Route 9: Grant Road, University of Arizona

- Route 11: Alvernon, Tucson International Airport.

- Route 16: 12th Avenue, Oracle, Pima College Downtown and Northwest, expanded service to Ina on Sundays.

The following routes will undergo other changes to their schedules, due to road projects: Routes 1, 9, 19, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 34 and 50.
