The purpose of this study is to build an econometric and demographic model of the Sun Corridor to forecast long-term economic and demographic conditions in the “megapolitan” region. To this end, the study examines the long-term economic and demographic forces that could affect economic development in the 3-county Sun Corridor megapolitan area that includes Maricopa, Pinal and Pima Counties. This information is used to develop a set of realistic economic/demographic scenarios to drive the forecasting model.
We conducted wildlife-highway relationships research from 2002–2006 along a 17-mile stretch of State
Route 260 in Arizona which is being reconstructed in five phases with 11 wildlife underpasses and 6
bridges. Reconstruction phasing allowed us to use a before-after-control experimental approach in our
research.
