- Of the available revenues, $4.47 billion is allocated for highway projects and programs in greater Arizona, which encompasses areas outside of Maricopa and Pima counties. Of this amount:
- 63.2% ($2.8 billion) is planned to preserve pavement, bridges and other assets, 23.2% ($1.05 million) is allocated for projects that expand capacity and 13.5% ($592 million) will be used improve highway safety, efficiency and functionality, such as intersection improvements, updates to ports of entry and rest areas, smart technologies and adding signals, signs and shoulders.
- In Maricopa County, the Tentative Program features $2.38 billion for projects planned in conjunction with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG).
- In Pima County, the Tentative Program includes $831 million for projects in association with the Pima Association of Governments (PAG).
ADOT’s five-year program is developed by working closely with local governments, regional transportation planning organizations and tribal partners to prioritize projects that are ready to design or construct. The State Transportation Board is expected to consider formal action on the program at its June 20 meeting.
