Clean & Safe

Call us for Clean & Safe support: (520) 940-1038

Our purple-shirted ambassadors work around the clock cleaning streets and sidewalks, and removing litter, weeds and graffiti. Each one of our team members is a Visit Tucson Certified Tourism Ambassador, greeting visitors and providing tourism information and directions. They connect downtown businesses, residents and employees with important information and assistance. Safety ambassadors help those in distress and keep a watchful eye on the streets, parks, properties and businesses.
