====Public transit====
Public bus service for Scottsdale and the Phoenix Metropolitan Area is provided by [[Valley Metro]].

The city of Scottsdale runs a network of local neighborhood circulators, labeled the "Scottsdale Trolley." Using [[Tourist trolley|trolley-replica bus]]es, the public service is free to riders. {{As of|2021|}}, there are two circulating "routes," known individually as the Downtown Trolley and the Neighborhood Trolley. These connect at the Loloma Station transit center in downtown Scottsdale.

The Downtown Trolley circulates through downtown Scottsdale, and the Neighborhood Trolley circulates from downtown Scottsdale to neighborhoods throughout South Scottsdale, connecting with the city of Tempe's own free public circulator, the Tempe Orbit at Roosevelt and Scottsdale Road. From there, riders can transfer onto the Tempe Orbit, and travel to Tempe, including Arizona State University's main campus, and the downtown Tempe, or [[Mill Avenue]], area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/trolley.asp|title=City of Scottsdale - Trolley|website=www.scottsdaleaz.gov|access-date=September 30, 2019|archive-date=September 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190930145511/https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/trolley.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref>
