Got five minutes? You can help shape ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan

Interactive online survey available until Nov. 11 lets you rank what’s most important

Got five minutes? That’s all it takes to get involved and help shape the future of transportation in Arizona. The Arizona Department of Transportation is in the process of updating our Long-Range Transportation Plan, also known as “What Moves You Arizona.” This allows us to look ahead 25 years and plan for transportation needs throughout our state. It also helps us determine how we distribute funding to balance the many needs of our state highway system.

That’s where you come in. We’ve created an easy and engaging interactive online survey, so you can tell us what’s most important to you when it comes to how we travel to get to work, school, appointments, activities and so much more. The survey is available at whatmovesyouarizona.metroquest.com. It can be completed on a computer, smartphone or tablet. A Spanish-language version of the survey is also available via the link. The survey gives you the opportunity to rank six transportation priorities: preservation, expansion, safety, technology, accessibility, and maintenance and operations. You get a budget and determine how much of it you’d allocate for each priority. Then you’ll decide tradeoff scenarios that further define your priorities. It’s that simple. Take the survey today and then share the link with your friends, neighbors, and colleagues! This five-minute survey will help guide a 25-year Long-Range Plan. ADOT will summarize and share the results of the survey and will have an updated plan in place in early 2017. ADOT’s Long-Range Plan is updated every five years and is not project-specific. It’s up to the public, policymakers and communities to tell ADOT what’s important to them throughout the long-range planning process and to prioritize projects and funding.
