Phoenix Foreclosure Web Site Approaches 14,000 Visits by Internet Users
A Web site unveiled in June by the city of Phoenix that offers tips to avoid foreclosure and impacts on homeowners, neighborhoods and renters has received more than 13,990 visits by Internet users.
Overall, the site ranks 98 among the city's top 2,000 Web pages.
The Web site, which can be found at phoenix.gov and was spearheaded by the Neighborhood Services and Housing departments, has information on how to contact a housing counselor or lender and what information one should provide when making that contact.
"The good news is that a tremendous number of people have found the site very helpful and practical," said Jerome Miller, Neighborhood Services director. "The downside is that the Phoenix metropolitan area has been hit so hard by foreclosures."
Approximately 5,000 foreclosures were recorded in Phoenix in 2007. This year, more than 13,500 foreclosures have been recorded in Phoenix.

Fares Needed on Board METRO Beginning Jan 1 |

Fares Needed on Board METRO Beginning Jan. 1
After five successful days of free rides, carrying upwards of 280,000 people on board METRO, fares will be required beginning at 4 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 1.
Fares can either be purchased from METRO fare vending machines or existing bus fare media can be used. Because METRO and bus service share the same fare system, pricing and passes are also the same and can be used interchangeably from bus to rail, rail to bus.
Fares start at $1.25 for a single ride (on bus or rail, not both) and up to $45 for a 31-day pass. Passes must be activated before boarding.
An all-day, 3-day, 7-day or 31-day pass only needs to be activated once - with activation, the pass will be stamped with its expiration date. If you have a platinum pass (or plastic bus card), you must tap this card on the orange validator pad located on the fare vending machines before each boarding.
Since METRO works on a proof-of-payment system, security officers will ask to see valid transit passes. If you cannot present a valid pass, citations can be issued ranging from $50 - $500.
For more details on how to ride and fare information, download the METRO Ride Guide.
