BASE HOUSING - SOARING HEIGHTS
COMMUNITIES
Soaring Heights is more than a community that
provides sustainable, well-maintained homes and
amenities for Air Force families at Davis-Monthan
AFB. It is an example of how innovation, successful
long-term planning, and forward-thinking community
partnerships can make a meaningful difference in the
lives of Airmen, their families and the communities in
which they reside. Its homes and communities feature
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base 2012 Base Guide and Telephone Directory

SOARING HEIGHTS DORMITORY
pedestrian-friendly streets, a spacious community
center and other amenities focused on comfort and
convenience for Air Force families.
Since its beginning in July 2006, Soaring Heights
has evolved into a spacious community of 1185
properties that include: legacy, new and renovated
homes. Its efficient, friendly services and community
amenities are recognized as examples of excellence
that strive to meet and exceed Air Force families’
expectations.
Soaring Heights’ new homes feature five-star
ENERGY STAR appliances, technology spaces and
covered porches for integrated indoor/outdoor living.
These energy-efficient homes are 20-40 percent larger
than many of the homes Airmen and their families
have been living in for years and boast a number of
features designed specifically to allow residents to live
the lifestyle they deserve in the place they belong.
Soaring Heights’ homes and neighborhoods are
family-friendly and designed with the active lifestyles
of residents in mind.
In addition Soaring Heights offers educational
and family-focused resident programs, premier and
innovative safety and recycling programs, community
events and recreation opportunities that connect with
Soaring Heights’ priorities of environmental, social and
economic sustainability.
Soaring Heights is home to the largest solarpowered
community in the continental United States,
taking full advantage of its surrounding climate and
open spaces through its combined 6-megawatt,
ground-mounted and rooftop solar arrays.
Today, Soaring Heights is an example of how
partnership and a shared goal of doing what is best for
Air Force families bear results. And most importantly it’s
the place Davis-Monthan Air Force families call home.

TUCSON OFF-BASE HOUSING
There are more than 60,000 apartments in the
local area ranging from single-room studios to lavishly
constructed units in luxurious complexes complete with
pools, fitness centers and tennis courts.
Apartments may be furnished or unfurnished
and utility costs may or may not be included in
rental price.
Rental availability is itself seasonal, with availability
falling and rent prices rising during winter when Tucson’s
tourist and student populations are highest. The median
rent on an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment is about
$600 to $700 per month.
There are single-family homes available for rent
in Tucson. However, the supply varies throughout the
year. Houses generally rent for about $100 more per
month than an apartment with the same number of
rooms. Typically, rentals require a first and last month’s
rent and security deposit upon moving in.
Although labor costs are low in Tucson, building
material costs are high. As a result, the median price for
a single family home is about $240,000. Condominiums,
town houses and “fixer-uppers” may be significantly
less expensive.
In addition to carpets, drapes and built-in kitchens
many Tucson condominiums also provide private patios,
security guards, recreation facilities and other amenities.
Prices vary depending on the area, but condominium
units and town houses begin at nearly $60,000.
For additional information on availability and
prices, contact the Tucson Board of Realtors, 1622 North
Swan Road, Tucson, AZ 85712, or call (520) 327-4218.

MEDICAL
355TH MEDICAL GROUP
The 355th Medical Group is housed in the Medical
Treatment Facility, a well-maintained 38-year-old building
and $10.2 million, 42,000-square-foot addition to help
better focus on wellness and patient-centered care. The
Ambulatory Health Care Facility addition opened July 3,
2002. The staff includes dozens of physicians/physician
extenders and several dentists who offer a wide range
of medical and dental specialties.
The 355th Medical Group is one of the busiest in the
command, averaging more than 12,000 outpatient visits,
23,000 laboratory procedures, and 40,000 prescriptions
filled each month. The providers and technicians maintain
the highest level of professional competency and currently
participate in training affiliation agreements with several
civilian institutions, which include St. Joseph’s Hospital,
Tucson Medical Center and the Veterans Administration
Medical Center. There are no emergency services at
our facility, so members needing urgent care are
directed to one of the many off-base facilities with
these capabilities.
Also, the clinic is closed every
third Thursday for training.
Airmen from the 355th Medical Group secure a mock patient. Various agencies in Tucson participated in the
NDMSE, which is designed to test the ability of military and civilian medical groups to work together.

History
DAVIS-MONTHAN HISTORY
The U.S. Army declared Tucson's second airfield
suitable for military operations Oct. 6, 1925. The
city successfully built the field in accordance with
U.S. Army guidelines. Twenty days later the field's
flight log received its first entry – a small detachment
serviced transient aircraft bound for California. Many
pioneer aviators stopped at the field during its time,
including several destined to head the country's
military flying forces. World famous aviator Charles
Lindbergh dedicated the Tucson landing field Sept.
27, 1927, for two long-time Tucsonans who died
in separate aerial accidents while serving in the U.S.
Army, 2nd Lts. Samuel H. Davis and Oscar Monthan.
HISTORY
The first building, Hangar 8030, built by the Army
at D-M, was completed March 25, 1932. However, it
wasn't until April 1, 1941, that the Army stationed units
at D-M. Paving the way for troops, the Army made Lt.
Col. Ames S. Albro the first base commander Feb. 4,
1941. By the end of April 1941 the 31st Air Base Group
had begun operations. The base officially became Davis-
Monthan Field Dec. 3, 1941.
The day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,
the field's personnel went on 24-hour alert and D-M's
two bombardment units shipped out for war. However,
the base wasn't idle for long.
Beginning in 1942, personnel
trained and prepared bomber crews
for battle in B-24 and B-29 aircraft.
Many bombardment units passed
through D-M on their way to war.
The instructors at D-M taught the
men to be bomber crews. The pilots
first learned high altitude flying, then
steady bomb approaches, while the
navigators, radiomen and gunners all
practiced their duties. When they left
D-M, each member knew his job, and
all worked together to accomplish
their mission.
After the war, D-M became one
of three Second Air Force separation
24
B-24 Turret (Courtesy photo)
centers. The base helped process nearly 10,000 returning
Soldiers for transition to civilian life. The field also became
a storage location for excess bombers and cargo aircraft.
Tucson's dry climate and alkali soil made it an ideal
location for aircraft storage and preservation, a mission
that continues today.
As the Air Force came into its own, strategic forces
took charge of D-M, bringing in several B-29 bomber
groups. After its official creation as a separate service,
the Air Force inherited the installation Jan. 13, 1948, and
officially named it Davis-Monthan Air
Force Base. The next year a B-50 aircrew
based at D-M completed the first nonstop
flight around the world (taking 94
hours). The early 1960s brought added
strategic missions in the form of Titan II
missiles and U-2 reconnaissance forces.
In 1964, another wing activated at the
base and began training aircrews in
the nation's most sophisticated fighter,
the F-4 Phantom. Another war had
developed and D-M was again training
aircrews to accomplish their mission
and survive. The base's U-2s also flew
missions over Southeast Asia.
The 355th Tactical Fighter Wing
came to D-M July 1, 1971, flying the A-7
Corsairs. This caused the F-4 program
2nd Lt. Oscar Monthan (Courtesy photo)
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base 2012 Base Guide and Telephone Directory

B-29 Lucky Lady II (Courtesy photo)
B-24 (Courtesy photo)
to move to Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. Five years later,
the 355th's pilots converted to the A10-A Thunderbolt II
aircraft. By the end of the year the wing took over host
unit responsibilities, reflecting the transfer of the base
from Strategic Air Command to Tactical Air Command.
The 41st Electronic Combat Squadron began flying
operations at D-M in 1980. A unit of the Tinker AFB-based
28th Air Division, the 41st ECS aircrews flew the specially
modified EC-130H aircraft. Their mission – Compass Call
– was intended to confuse or disrupt enemy command,
control and communications.
After 10 years of 355th TFW leadership, the 836th
Air Division activated at D-M in 1981 and assumed host
base responsibilities. The next year the 602nd Tactical
Air Control Wing joined both the air division and D-M
families. Members of the 602nd directed forward air forces
and coordinated them with ground forces for a combined
team effort. They were responsible for tactical air control
Davis Monthan AFB and Tucson 1942 (Courtesy photo)
forces west of the Mississippi River. To accomplish their
mission, 602nd air controllers and liaison officers were
stationed on many Air Force bases and Army posts.
The 868th Tactical Missile Training Squadron also
activated in 1981 and trained crews on ground-launched
cruise missiles. Then, in 1984, the last Titan missile was
taken off alert and an era ended at D-M. Six years later,
as a result of the U.S.-Soviet intermediate-range nuclear
forces agreement, the Air Force inactivated the 868th
TMTS. D-M destroyed the last U.S. GLCM in May 1991.
Meanwhile, between December 1989 and January
1990, other D-M personnel participated in Operation
Just Cause, helping to secure and defend Panama's
main airport. Later in the year D-M deployed more than
1,300 people in support of Operations Desert Shield and
Storm, the response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and its
subsequent liberation.
In May 1992, the Air Force, in a downsizing move,
inactivated the 836th Air Division and once again made
the 355th, now simply designated 355th Wing, the host
unit. The service also announced the 12th Air Force's
move to D-M from Bergstrom Air Force Base, Texas. A
month later D-M became an Air Combat Command base.
Other Department of Defense agencies located at
D-M include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Air
Force major commands: Air Force Material Command,
Air Education and Training Command and the Air Force
Reserve Command.

History
355TH FIGHTER WING
The 355th Fighter Group was first
activated Nov. 12, 1942. Originally
equipped with P-47D Thunderbolts,
the group transitioned to the P-51
Mustangs in 1944, and quickly gained
acclaim as the "Steeple Morden
Strafers," a reference to its base in
England and its lethal accuracy at low
level. The fighter group destroyed or
damaged 1,500 enemy planes, making
it the top strafing outfit in the 8th Air
Force during World War II.
In the mid-1950s, the group was assigned to Air
Defense Command and based at McGhee-Tyson Airport,
Tenn. Flying the F-86D Sabrejet, the group provided
fighter defense for the Oak Ridge Atomic Energy Plant
and the Tennessee Valley Authority dams, as well as the
eastern region of the United States.
The unit, known as the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing,
transferred to Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand,
in 1965. During the next five years, it flew more than
101,000 sorties over North Vietnam, dropping 202,596
tons of bombs and destroying 12,675 targets. The wing's
pilots were credited with 20 MiG kills, and another eight
destroyed on the ground. Nicknamed "PACAF's Pride,"
the unit received three Presidential Unit Citations and
three Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards with combat
"V" device. It is also noteworthy that, of the 12 Airmen
awarded the Medal of Honor in the Vietnam War, two
belonged to the 355th TFW: Majors Merlyn H. Dethlefsen
and Leo K. Thorsness.
The 355th transferred to D-M in 1971, but continued
to deploy aircraft and personnel to Southeast Asia until
1974. Initially equipped with the A-7D Corsair II, the
wing transitioned into the A-10 Thunderbolt II in 1976.
By the end of the decade, with the gradual phaseout
of the A-7 fleet, the 355th became the Air Force's sole
A-10 training wing.
As the wing entered the 1990s, it continued to
train A-10 crews for assignments to units in the United
26
355th TFW F-105 Thunderchief pilot
(Courtesy photo)
States, England and Korea. The 355th Wing regularly
participated in close air support exercises such as Air
Warrior and weapons competitions such as Long Rifle,
where it consistently captured top A-10 honors. However
the wing's excellence wasn't limited to the cockpit. In
1990, it received the TAC Commander's Award for top
aircraft maintenance, in the A-10 category, for the third
consecutive year.
The wing's training program paid off in 1991 during
Operation Desert Storm, when 355th-trained A-10 pilots
destroyed 1,000 tanks, 2,000 vehicles, 1,200 artillery
pieces and two helicopters. While the wing as a whole did
not deploy to the Persian Gulf, more than 250 members
augmented forces in theater and filled shortages in the
United States.
The 355th Tactical Fighter Wing was redesignated the
355th Fighter Wing Oct. 1, 1991, as the lines between
tactical and strategic forces blurred, and the Air Force
leadership began to merge these forces under Air Combat
Command. As part of this restructuring, the 355th FW
on May 1, 1992, absorbed elements of the 602nd Air
Control Wing, 41st Electronic Combat Squadron and most
other activities currently operating at D-M.
An era came to a close, when on Sept. 30, 2002,
the 42nd Airborne Command and Control Squadron
inactivated. Further changes occurred Oct. 1, 2002, when
the 355th FW underwent an extensive reorganization
of forces. During this reorganization, new squadrons
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base 2012 Base Guide and Telephone Directory

355th TFW F-105 Thunderchief (Courtesy photo)
were added to the existing wing structure, while
some squadrons were realigned under new group
commanders. The 355th FW also inherited the 48th,
55th and 79th Rescue Squadrons equipped with
HC-130 aircraft and HH-60 helicopters. Another
change saw the 41st and 43rd Electronic Combat
Squadrons fall under the operational control of the
55th Wing at Offutt AFB, Neb. On Oct. 1, 2003,
the three combat search and
rescue squadrons fell under
the command of the 563rd
Rescue Group.
The 355th, redesignated
a "fighter wing" again April
26, 2007, since its only
assigned aircraft are A-10s,
currently provides air assets
to commanders involved in
conflicts around the globe,
including Operations Enduring
Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi
Freedom.
The wing deployed its
354th Fighter Squadron to
Afghanistan for OEF in 2007,
where its A-10 pilots flew 9,991
hours in 2,535 combat sorties.
The 354th pilots expended
354th Fighter Squadron deploying in 2007 (Courtesy photo)
more than 150,000 rounds of 30mm ammunition, 315
rockets, and 245 bombs with an unprecedented 99
percent weapons hit rate and zero in-flight mishaps.
The 355th Fighter Wing is composed of four groups:
the 355th Operations Group, the 355th Maintenance
Group, the 355th Mission Support Group and the 355th
Medical Group.

309TH AEROSPACE MAINTENANCE AND
REGENERATION GROUP
The 309th AMARG, or “the bone yard,” as it’s often
called by visitors, is a one-of-a kind specialized facility
within the Air Force Materiel Command structure. The
group provides critical aerospace maintenance and
regeneration capabilities for Joint and Allied/Coalition
warfighters in support of global operations and agile
combat support for a wide range of military operations.
The 309th AMARG traces its heritage back to
1946 when the 4105th Army Air Force Base Unit was
established to store and manage vast numbers of surplus
World War II aircraft. Now, new capabilities define the
organization and its future.
A major industrial center occupying 2,600 acres, the
AMARG staff manages an inventory of nearly 4,400
aircraft and more than 350,000 line items of tooling. In
addition to the historic storage and disposition mission,
the Center’s highly skilled, 795-member workforce
regenerates aircraft, returning them to flying status or
preparing them for overland shipment. The AMARG team
also reclaims hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
parts to support global warfighting operations.
This combination of parts reclaimed and aircraft
withdrawn represents a return on taxpayer investment of
more than $1.2 billion, essentially a $12 return for every
dollar spent at 309th AMARG.
Although the organization’s primary customer is the
Department of Defense, additional workloads come from
other national, regional and local government agencies,
as well as foreign allies.
Four product divisions, Aircraft, Commodities,
Storage and Disposal, conduct AMARG’s core industrial
operations.
The Aircraft Division performs unparalleled
regeneration and specialized aircraft repair. Currently
Aircraft Division activities include participation in the A-10
service life extension and wing modification programs, F-4
regeneration for the Air Combat Command’s Full-Scale
Aerial Target (FSAT) or drone program, and partnership
with the U.S. Navy to regenerate and deliver P-3 aircraft
to various foreign allies in order to improve allied
interoperability.

efforts. Additionally, innovations by Commodities
Division team members have saved the government
millions of dollars in costs associated with the A-10
wing modification program.
The Storage Division prepares aircraft for short- and
long-term storage and maintains them while in storage.
These comprehensive preservation and maintenance
practices have safeguarded tens of billions of dollars
in aerospace assets and made possible the subsequent
reactivation of many of these weapon systems.
The Disposal Division administers the receipt and
accountability for all aerospace vehicles located at 309th
AMARG that have been declared excess to weapons
systems program requirements.
The 309th AMARG provides a critical capability

WELCOME TO TUCSON
Welcome to Tucson, the county seat of Pima
County and one of America’s fastest growing
cities. Tucson is situated on a high valley floor
at an elevation of about 2,600 feet. The city is
surrounded by five mountain ranges. To the north
lie the Santa Catalinas; to the south are the Santa
Ritas and the Sierritas. The Rincon Mountains are
east of Tucson and the Tucson Mountains are off
to the west.
EXPLORING
TUCSON
40
The greater metropolitan Tucson population is
more than 800,000, with an increase of
about 1,500 new residents each
month. Tucson city limits
cover an area of more than
156 square miles, while
metropolitan Tucson
extends for nearly 500
square miles. The official
Web site for Tucson is
www.ci.tucson.az.us.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base 2012 Base Guide and Telephone Directory

CLIMATE
When 17 percent of Tucson newcomers say they
came here for the weather, it’s easy to understand
why. The sun shines more than 85 percent of the time
and, because of the city’s elevation, temperatures are
generally mild.
The average number of days hotter than 90
degrees is 138 and the average number of days colder
than 32 degrees is 19. The average high temperature
is 81.7 degrees and the average low is 54.2 degrees.
This sunny climate - along with an average rainfall of
only 11 inches - make Tucson the ideal place to live
for tennis, golf or any of the many other activities
available in the local area.
Although Tucson rarely experiences snow, it does
have winter. Temperatures can drop into the 30s on
winter mornings, so Tucsonans do sometimes need
winter coats.
ECONOMY AND EMPLOYMENT
In 2004, Tucson had a non-agricultural labor force
of 359,100. In 2005, the city's unemployment rate
was 4.1 percent. Of that total, the combined federal,
state and local government payroll included more
than 72,000 employees.
The largest single employer in Tucson, with
more than 11,000 employees, is Raytheon Missile
Systems, followed closely by the University of
Arizona, which employs more than 10,000. However,
the manufacturing industry is coming to play an
increasingly large role in Tucson employment.
Considered the economy’s single most important
growth industry during recent years, it now employs
more than 30,000 people in the Tucson area.
Much of the spectacular rise in manufacturing
employment during the last decade is due to
the phenomenal increase in the number of
high-technology industries located throughout
Pima County.
Exporting sunshine – tourism – is one of the
community’s major economic factors, and it
contributes lavishly to the Tucson economy. Tourists
spend more than $1.5 billion annually in Pima
County.
Due to its clear air and the absence of largescale
urban night lighting, Tucson also is a major
international center for stellar research. By providing
top-flight research facilities and attracting topnotch
scientists into the area, Tucson’s
astronomy research programs are
also contributing to the exhilarating
expansion of its economic base.

newspaper and the major medium for public notices in
the metropolitan Tucson area. Inside Tucson Business is
the only weekly business newspaper in town.
There are eight Tucson television stations and
more than 20 radio stations.
GETTING TO KNOW TUCSON
Adobe walls and nuclear reactors ... ballet companies
and baseball teams ... Stone Age archaeology and Space
Age technology ... in getting to know Tucson, you’ll
become acquainted with all of this and much more.
The vital Tucson Community Center is in the city’s
renovated downtown area. At TCC, you can enjoy
the sophisticated elegance of theater and music hall
performances, rough-and-tumble sporting events in
the arena, or just kick back for a quiet siesta in the
shade of one of the center’s luxuriously landscaped
patio areas.
You will also want to visit the University of Arizona
campus. Established in 1885 on 40 acres of land
donated by gamblers and saloon keepers, the university
campus has grown to more than 300 acres of luxuriant
greenery. This oasis is certainly a fertile place in the
desert, providing a brilliant variety of subtropical trees
and shrubs.
On campus, you’ll find the Arizona State Museum
and the University’s Museum of Art, a nuclear reactor,

Mission San Xavier Del Bac
Arizona's state bird is the cactus wren.
a mineral museum and the Center of Creative
Photography. You will find a library system with more
than 2.6 million volumes, one that’s been rated in the
nation’s top 20 for the last several years. All of these
and much more contribute to the university’s role as a
hub of Tucson’s intellectual and artistic life.
In Tucson there also is time for leisure. A museum
for aircraft, the Pima Air & Space Museum, boasts
one of the largest collections in the United States. It
is located south of the base at 6000 E. Valencia. For
more information, call (520) 574-0462.
Some enjoy spending leisure time in one of
Tucson’s many fine parks, the Gene C. Reid Park Zoo
and Fort Lowell Park.
Or perhaps your interests are music, theater and
dance. Tucson can fill that bill. Here is a small sample
to get you started:
Musically, the Tucson Philharmonic Orchestra is a
full-scale professional ensemble offering music lovers
a nine-concert season. The university also contributes
to the musical scene.
The university’s School of Music sponsors a wide
variety of solo and ensemble performances. And,
through their Artist Series, world renowned cultural
activities (music, dance and drama) are brought to
the university and Tucson communities.
The community even houses an “opry” - which
isn't too bad for a cowboy town. The Arizona Opera
Company was established in 1972 and opened its
first season with “The Barber of Seville.” Since this
opening performance, attendance has continued
to grow.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base 2012 Base Guide and Telephone Directory

The Southern Arizona Light Opera Company puts
on four shows a year in the Tucson Community
Center. These shows use local talent to present
Broadway musicals. The actors are considered semiprofessional,
as they don’t get paid. The Arizona
Theatre Company is the only professional resident
company in the state. ATC performs mostly in drama,
and it auditions nationally for its company.
If musicals and drama aren’t your cup of tea, how
about laughing and eating? If these appeal to you,
you’ll love the Gaslight Theatre. It presents musical
melodrama and home-style eating with a special
western twang.
Hit the Tucson highlights and the night lights ...
explore the nooks and crannies … visit the caves and
museums. The more you get to know Tucson, the
more you’ll come to understand it is truly a city where
contrast and complement are an ongoing way of life.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
Tucson boasts 16 hospitals with a combined total
of approximately 3,250 beds. Although all maintain
exceptionally high standards, three are particularly
noteworthy: The Veterans Administration Hospital,
at the corner of S. Sixth Avenue and Ajo Way, is a
325-bed hospital open to veterans only. In addition
to providing general medical and surgical services, it
also has a kidney dialysis unit, a tuberculosis treatment
Tucson Rodeo
program and drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation
programs. University of Arizona Medical Center, located
at 1501 N. Campbell Ave., is a 300-bed hospital
equipped with sophisticated medical equipment to
provide both in- and outpatient care, as well as 24-hour
emergency services.
It also provides training for physicians, nurses and
other health care professionals. The Tucson Medical
Center, 5301 E. Grant Road, provides 650 beds and
more than 1,200 physicians on staff. Services available at
TMC include outpatient surgery as well as acute surgical
and medical care units for infants.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION
The Arizona Department of Transportation has a
Department of Motor Vehicles office on base. Its hours
are Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
office handles titles, registrations and car licensing tags.
Driver licenses are only issued on Wednesdays.
EMISSIONS LAW
If you own a vehicle, you must comply with Arizona’s
emissions law. If your registration has “EMISS YES”
printed above the fee subtotal, your vehicle requires an
emissions test. If it doesn’t, no emissions test is required
unless the vehicle is used to commute into the testing
area for employment or school.
If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in
Arizona, an emissions test is required, even on new
cars. Take your vehicle and its out-of-state registration
or temporary registration form to an official inspection
center before applying for registration. If your vehicle
passes, you’ll get a certificate of compliance to mail
with your registration form to the auto license plate
department. Keep the top part of the inspection form
until your registration tag is returned in the mail.
If your vehicle fails, it must be repaired and either
pass a re-inspection or qualify for a waiver after the
specified repairs are made. Your inspection report will
provide information on repairs and procedures to follow.
For further information, call (800) 284-7748.
44
AUTO INSURANCE
You must have auto insurance to
drive in Arizona. When you register your
vehicle, you must submit an insurance
identification card, issued by your
insurance company, along with your
registration application renewal. If you
change insurance companies, you must
submit an insurance identification card
to the Motor Vehicle Division from the
new company within 30 days. You must
carry proof of insurance or proof of
another form of financial responsibility,
in your vehicle at all times. If you fail to
maintain insurance on your vehicle and
your registration is suspended, you must
pay applicable reinstatement fees and file
proof of future financial responsibility. The
minimum financial responsibility amounts
are $15,000/$30,000 - death or bodily
injury; $10,000 - property damage. The
Arizona Department of Transportation can
be reached at (520) 629-9808.
