Support of older persons across our state requires a network composed of partnerships at every level. The quantity and quality of services available are an indication of priorities at the national, state, and local level, and we thank the statewide community for prioritizing resources in a way that makes these services possible. Aging services would not be as comprehensive or effective without our partnership.

The Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Game & Fish Department and the Arizona State Parks Board are required to conduct a study every three years on watercraft fuel consumption and recreational watercraft usage. The fuel consumption data is collected to determine the allocation of motor vehicle fuel tax to the State Lake Improvement Fund. The information on recreational watercraft usage patterns on Arizona’s lakes and rivers is necessary, in part, to determine the distribution of SLIF funds to applicants.
