The Valley’s rapid growth is stressing our transportation infrastructure.
Maricopa County is the nation’s fastest growing county for the third year in a row: between now and 2050, the region’s population is expected to grow by more than two million.
Together we’ve built a great transportation system, but to keep the Valley moving forward, we have more work to do. We asked more than 10,000 Valley residents what was most important about this community and moving around the region.
We heard that getting from here to there isn’t always easy.
The ability to travel safely and efficiently means spending more time doing things that matter with the people you care about. An excellent transportation system can help us achieve just that.
We hear often that being able to go where you want when you want is invaluable. You told us that flexible, accessible, and diverse transportation options are important.
Well-planned transportation systems allow for more productive, less stressful, and happier lives. Wasting time trying to get around is frustrating. While some people are satisfied with our transportation system, others request expanded light rail routes and more frequent transit service.
Feeling safe on freeways, roads, and transit, or as a bicyclist or pedestrian is your top priority. It’s ours, too. You’d like more sidewalks and bike lanes. Safe access to bus stops. Not having to worry about congestion-related accidents and road rage... It’s all about feeling safe.
Valley residents care about the environment. Many are concerned about the environmental impacts of too many people driving alone. People want more transportation options — beyond driving a car — to ensure a better quality of life for future generations.
Your stories paint a clear picture. People want more freedom, choices, and safety. A well-planned, modern transportation system can get us there.
We need your continued input. This is your chance to ensure your opinion is heard and that our transportation system provides freedom and choice for all of us.
The future is coming fast — and you have the power to shape it.
