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.

Sustainable housing strives for diverse, healthy, affordable, socially inclusive, resource-efficient, and culturally sensitive housing. This report’s current state assessment is based on five goals of sustainable housing, derived from sustainability and livability principles: meet demand with adequate housing options; provide sufficient quality of housing and promote healthy housing conditions; secure affordability of housing; conserve natural resources in homes; and maintain valuable cultural and historical character.
