Due to the interest in the online community workshop participation the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has extended participation until March 10, 2009.
To participate online visit www.bqaz.gov.
ADOT is making progress on a Statewide Transportation Planning Study developing a long range vision for future transportation needs in Arizona. “Building a Quality Arizona” or bqAZ focuses on needs in the year 2050 and is a statewide collaborative process to identify the full range of options to address future needs.
Community workshops were held across Arizona in the spring of 2008 to gather community input, which was then used to build future transportation scenarios that were presented at the November 2008 workshops.

We understand that life can get busy with work, school, chores, and family. That is why ADOT has made it easy to participate in the Statewide Transportation Planning Study. By visiting the “Building a Quality Arizona” or bqAZ Web site at www.bqaz.gov, you can review all the information presented at the most recent community workshops and provide your input. There is no need to rearrange your schedule to attend a public meeting, just log onto www.bqaz.gov.
Online participation is available for each of the four Regional Studies: Northern, Western, Eastern, and Central. You can choose which Regional Study you would like to participate in depending on where you live, work, play or wherever you would like to provide input. It’s easy.
Online participation has been extended until March 10, 2009!
Each Regional Study includes three “scenarios” that propose different ways of addressing Arizona’s transportation needs in the future. Maps and narrative are provided that explain each of the scenarios. Participants are then asked to provide feedback on the scenarios. The objective is to understand which of the scenarios best meet your goals and desires about moving, either by automobile or transit, within your community and throughout the state.
The three scenarios address three different philosophies of how to move people and goods in the future. They are called - Personal Vehicle Mobility, Transit Mobility, and Focused Growth. Within each region, different maps show how the region addresses the intent of the three scenarios.
Be a part of the solution.
Choices. Connections. Lifestyles.
Participate today for a quality tomorrow.
November Community Workshops: Valuable Feedback Received
ADOT and local/regional partners hosted a series of community workshops across the state in November 2008 to present future transportation “scenarios” to the community for feedback. Participants reviewed and provided input on the scenarios, which were developed based upon input from the spring 2008 workshops. Citizens appreciated the opportunity to be a part of the study.
