An Urban Design Team made up of local designers, national transit designers, and agency representatives, was assembled to develop a document that would guide the system design. In addition, a team of climatologists from Arizona State University researched the special performance needs of materials and cooling systems in our climate, providing input into the guidelines for shading and cooling devices, as well as a separate technical report. The Team worked to isolate the twenty elements of urban design most critical to the creation of a light rail system specific to this region and then developed guidelines for each one of those elements.
From Oct. 8 through Dec. 18, 2007, RPTA conducted an Origin and Destination survey of the Valley Metro riders. The objectives were to examine the demographics and travel behavior characteristics of Valley Metro riders.
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.
Scottsdale Road and Rural Road are identified in the Regional Transportation Plan as an arterial Bus Rapid Transit route. The portion of this route within Scottsdale is programmed and funded in the Transit Life Cycle Program.
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.
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.
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.
This report presents an analysis of the economic impacts of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (Gateway Airport) based on activity during FY 2013. It views Gateway Airport as a source of significant economic output (the production of aviation services) that creates revenues for firms, and employment and earnings for workers on and off the airport.
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.
Construction of a habitat restoration project in the Salt River will begin in the spring of 2000 which will transform the riverbed to provide a variety of amenities including recreation opportunities, improved flood management, riparian vegetation and wildlife habitat. The Beyond the Tanks area surrounds the Rio Salado project and is bounded by I-17 to the north, 32nd Street to the east, Broadway Road to the south and 19th Avenue to the west. The committee has adopted the name "Village at Rio Salado" for this area but will be referred to as "Beyond the Banks" in this report.
