The primary purpose of this study was to develop a plan that enables the Town to facilitate safer and more efficient infrastructure for the traveling public and guide the development of the Business District. This study recommends phased improvement projects to address the multimodal transportation needs of the community, while steering community development and project funding. The study findings will also be incorporated into the Town's Capital Improvement Planning process for the next 5-, 10-, and 20-year time frames.
Provides recommendations that improve and enhance the inter-connectivity of trails and transit mobility in the City of Show Low and transit efficiency in the White Mountains, including the communities of Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, Taylor, Holbrook and the White Mountain Apache Tribe.

The annual Transit Performance Report provides information to the Board of Directors and member cities concerning ridership, operating costs, fare revenue, and serves as input to Maricopa Association of Governments' Regional Transportation Plan updates.
With the agency integration of Valley Metro and Valley Metro Rail, the budgets for each agency are developed with a unified staffing plan but are maintained as two separate financial entities, with fund and project accounting to segregate revenues and expenses. Each Operating and Capital Budget has been prepared with the goal of delivering a fiscally prudent, balanced budget. FY 2006/2007 was the first full year of Proposition 400 Public Transportation Fund revenues; FY 2005/2006 reflected only five months of PTF revenues.
Develop a detailed operating plan for the freeway express/BRT routes identified in the Regional Transportation Plan as well as identify vehicle and infrastructure investments needed to support said routes.
Study to determine overall performance of current bus service offerings through a detailed analysis of performance factors. Outcomes should include strategies to improve, eliminate or modify lowest performance-related services and development of recurring evaluation strategy and methodology that can be applied to a regular rating process.
Valley Metro periodically conducts surveys with Dial-A-Ride passengers to gather information on trip making, demographic, and rider satisfaction with transit services. Previous Dial-a-Ride studies were conducted in 2000, 2002, and 2007. Valley Metro commissioned WestGroup Research of Phoenix to conduct a telephone survey with valley DAR passengers.
Valley Metro commissioned WestGroup Research to conduct a mail survey with users of transit services that are alternatives to Dial-a-Ride. Respondents included users of cab coupon and voucher programs.
The Regional Transportation Plan and Proposition 400 identified funding for 13 regional parkand-ride lots to support transit operations. This study provides recommendations to ensure that park-and-ride implementation are aligned with operational requirements, especially regarding express bus and bus rapid transit needs. The Park-and-Ride Re-prioritization also describes issues concerning the Valley’s overall park-and-ride network and makes recommendations to facilitate implementation.
At a “micro” level, the study developed information and provided recommendations to assist each of the paratransit programs in the region to operate services in the most efficient and effective manner possible. At the “macro” level, the study considered alternative regional service designs and developed a regional service plan for the area that would improve mobility for people with disabilities and satisfy the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
