Statewide Transportation Planning Framework  

What is Building a Quality Arizona?

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is in the process of developing a Statewide Transportation Planning Framework that links multimodal transportation alternatives with land use and community/economic development. The process examines actual transportation needs in Arizona into the year 2050 with no cost constraints.

“Building a Quality Arizona,” or bqAZ, is a long-term vision for transportation in Arizona.  This vision will serve as the basis for upcoming transportation planning efforts that assign real dollars to prioritized projects, including the State Long-Range Transportation Plan.

The bqAZ process began in early 2008 to quantify transportation needs statewide and identify the full range of options to address those needs. More than 120 community workshops and focus groups have been held over the past year to gather input and work through ideas with Arizona communities, agencies, and organizations.
