Sedona AZ (September 21, 2016) – Planning Arizona’s transportation future requires setting priorities and making oftentimes difficult choices given limited resources.

As the Arizona Department of Transportation updates its Long-Range Transportation Plan, a blueprint looking from now through 2040, an interactive online survey allows you to help shape this vision by walking through scenarios similar to those facing planners and policymakers.

The survey, developed by ADOT and MetroQuest, is available until November 11 at whatmovesyouarizona.metroquest.com. It gives you the opportunity to rank six transportation priorities: preservation, expansion, safety, technology, accessibility, and maintenance and operations. You will get a budget and determine how much of it you would allocate for each priority, then, you will decide trade off scenarios that further define your priorities.

It takes just a few minutes and can be completed on a personal computer, smartphone or tablet. A Spanish-language version of the survey is also available via the link.

The ADOT Long-Range Transportation Plan is updated every five years. While it is not project specific, it identifies investment priorities based on current and projected transportation funding over the next 25 years.

It is up to the public, policymakers and communities to tell ADOT what is important to them throughout the long-range planning process and to prioritize projects and funding.

Visit azdot.gov/WhatMovesYouArizona for more information on ADOT Long-Range Transportation Plan and to leave a comment. The website also lists study milestones, including a full summary of 12 workshops held earlier this year around the state.

The final version of the plan is expected to be completed early in 2017.
