The Plan 
The Maricopa Region has made a lot of progress in the past 20 years. By 2007, nearly 150 miles of
Valley freeways will be complete. Now it’s time to look at the next round of transportation investments.
The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) has spent the past few years conducting intensive transportation studies and talking to thousands of people to identify future transportation needs. This input was used in the creation of the new Regional Transportation Plan, which will guide transportation investments in the region for the next 20-30 years.
Projects have been identified and the plan has been tested to meet performance goals such as safety, mobility, and air quality requirements. The Regional Transportation Plan was developed in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Transportation and Valley Metro.
The full plan, executive summary and input opportunity report are available online.
MAG Regional Transportation Plan Project Page provides detailed information on the plan and other
technical studies feeding into the overall plan.
- The Let’s Keep Moving Home page provides highlights of the plan.
- Multimodal transportation solutions including transit, rail, freeway projects and other improvements
are part of the plan.
- There is also a chapter on freight and moving goods around the Valley.
- The plan has passed necessary air quality conformity requirements to ensure it does not adversely effect the environment.
