The Arizona State Rail Plan (SRP) is the first comprehensive assessment of the stateís rail needs and was initiated in response to the increasing involvement by ADOT in freight and passenger rail issues. The SRP serves to identify the current rail system, to determine infrastructure needs, and to have rail projects included in the state's long-range planning processes to improve regional and statewide safety mobility. The principle purpose is to convey the magnitude of the rail needs in the state and set forth a policy framework through which strategic actions can be taken to realize the full potential of passenger and freight rail transportation.

The focus of this sub-regional study is the roadway system in an area of southern Navajo and Apache Counties bounded by the Town of Pinetop-Lakeside in the south, the Town of Snowflake in the north, Pulp Mill Road to the west, and the Concho area in Apache County to the east.

Identifies transportation infrastructure investments that may help leverage the economic potential of the study area and foster future land development. Describes the study area’s existing and future transportation conditions and presents transportation framework recommendations based on planning by Aztec Land & Cattle Company, the Town of Snowflake and Taylor, and Navajo County. It presents findings from case studies on inland ports and rural industrial developments and discusses possible funding sources and strategies for infrastructure investment.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and the Maricopa Association of Governments are cooperating in the designation of a specific route for the CANAMEX Corridor in the Maricopa Region. Kimley-Horn and Associates, under contract to ADOT, provided technical assistance to ADOT and MAG in support of the high-level evaluation of route alternatives. The purpose of this study is to provide technical assistance, not to evaluate or select a preferred route alternative.

We are pleased to present a first draft of a Five-Year Strategic Transit Plan for input and review. Your comments and suggestions on the Plan will ensure that transit meets the travel and mobility needs of the Tucson area. Once you have provided your input we will make revisions and issue a final Five-Year Transit Strategic Plan. The Transit Task Force sees this plan as a working document which provides a framework for monitoring the progress of transit in our community. The Plan does not directly answer all your questions or address all of your concerns, but it does outline additional tasks needing to be completed to do so. Thus the Transit Task Force requests that it be given permanent status to ensure continuity in the transit planning and review process, and enabling it to further develop policies identified in the Plan as needing more work.

The purpose of this report is to present the conceptual study results and recommendations for potable water and reclaimed water infrastructure requirements in the HAMP planning area. A second report has already been prepared with study results and recommendations for wastewater facilities. The projected land use assumptions and population projections used in this potable and reclaimed water conceptual plan are consistent with Pima County's Plan.

The initial step in the Master Plan Update for Tucson International Airport is the identification of a series of goals and objectives that will establish guidelines for the planning process. These goals and objectives reflect the input of the Tucson Airport Authority, the Long Range Planning Council, the Airport’s Planning Advisory Committee, and the Airport’s Consultants. The Goals and Objectives will ultimately form the framework for evaluating the recommended long-range development plan and ensuring that the on-going development of the airport is consistent with the airport’s overall strategic objectives.

This is the sixth update of the original Master Plan first drafted in 1974. While the Master Plan Update addresses traditional master planning elements, including updating the inventory, establishing future facility requirements and preparing an updated Airport Layout Plan, the study’s key focus areas relate to modernization of the airfield through strategic development, including relocation and expansion of the TIA’s parallel runway.

The study was developed by Gila County cooperatively with the Arizona Department of Transportation, Central Arizona Association of Governments, and the Tonto National Forest. In addition, area residents’ and stakeholder input was solicited and incorporated in the study through public participation efforts. The purpose of the study has been to develop a 20-year transportation plan and implementation program to guide Gila County in meeting transportation needs into the future. Roadway and multimodal improvements were identified to address deficiencies and needs to improve mobility and safety in the County. The study also identified how and when these improvements should be implemented and funded. This long-range multimodal transportation plan is intended for use in day-to-day programming and funding of transportation improvements. In addition, transportation improvements have been prioritized to maximize project benefits within budget limitations.
