The 4.8 miles of track will include two routes, according to previously released information. A Downtown circulator will loop through the city's center, traversing business, government, cultural, and shopping districts, in what is labeled as a "Downtown Loop" on the new map.

An "Uptown Loop" will connect Downtown to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), with part of the route passing through the Rio Grande campus of El Paso Community College.

This portion of the line will travel north on Stanton Street, turn left on Baltimore Ave/Glory Road, and turn south on Oregon Street in the area of the Don Haskins Center at UTEP.

There will be 27 total stops along both loops, with a maintenance and storage facility located at the Downtown Transfer Center facility on Santa Fe Street south of Paisano Drive.
