Regional Planning<br />
Background and Overview<br />
Created in 1970 by the Arizona Legislature, <strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> (PAG) is a nonpr<strong>of</strong>it regional<br />
planning organization that serves member jurisdictions located in <strong>Pima</strong> County, Arizona. PAG's authority is<br />
derived from federal and state laws and from intergovernmental agreements. PAG facilitates coordination,<br />
cooperation, data development, information sharing and sound decision-making related to issues that cross<br />
jurisdictional boundaries, such as air quality, water quality, transportation, urban growth and human services,<br />
using a continuous, comprehensive and collaborative planning process that involves elected <strong>of</strong>ficials, agency<br />
staff, key stakeholders, interest groups and the general public.<br />
PAG was federally designated in 1973 as the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for transportation<br />
planning in <strong>Pima</strong> County. PAG also was designated by the Arizona Governor to serve as the principal planning<br />
agency for air quality and water quality planning in the region. In addition, pursuant to an Executive Order<br />
from the Governor, PAG develops population estimates and projections for jurisdictions in the region.<br />
In 2004, the PAG region established, through enabling state legislation (ARS 48-5302), a Regional<br />
Transportation Authority (RTA). The state legislation charged the RTA with the development <strong>of</strong> 20-year<br />
regional transportation plan that was to be presented to the voters for approval along with a request for<br />
approval <strong>of</strong> up to a ½-cent transaction privilege tax to fund the plan. The RTA plan and supporting ½-cent<br />
transaction privilege tax were both approved by <strong>Pima</strong> County voters on May 16, 2006, and will continue until<br />
FY 2026. The RTA plan is a component <strong>of</strong> the PAG Regional Transportation Plan.<br />
Regional Planning Structure<br />
PAG is governed by a Regional Council comprised <strong>of</strong> one elected <strong>of</strong>ficial from each <strong>of</strong> its eight member<br />
jurisdictions (<strong>Pima</strong> County, City <strong>of</strong> Tucson, City <strong>of</strong> South Tucson, Town <strong>of</strong> Marana, Town <strong>of</strong> Oro Valley, Town <strong>of</strong><br />
Sahuarita, Tohono O'odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe) and the <strong>Pima</strong> County member <strong>of</strong> the Arizona State<br />
Transportation Board.<br />
The PAG Management Committee consists <strong>of</strong> the chief administrative <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> each member jurisdiction. The<br />
PAG Management Committee provides specific policy and technical recommendations to the PAG Executive<br />
Director, who forwards them to the Regional Council for consideration and action.<br />
Several standing committees have been established to provide recommendations to the PAG Management<br />
Committee and Executive Director for forwarding to the Regional Council. These committees are generally<br />
comprised <strong>of</strong> agency staff, representatives <strong>of</strong> community, business and environmental groups, and citizens.<br />
In addition, PAG uses numerous ad hoc subcommittees, task forces and working groups comprised <strong>of</strong> a<br />
diversity <strong>of</strong> stakeholders, ranging from elected <strong>of</strong>ficials and technical and pr<strong>of</strong>essional experts to lay citizens.<br />
These ad hoc working groups are used for gathering a variety <strong>of</strong> viewpoints on a wide range <strong>of</strong> regional<br />
planning topics and issues.<br />
PAG's Executive Director serves as the agency's chief executive <strong>of</strong>ficer. Under appointment and general<br />
guidance <strong>of</strong> the Regional Council, the Executive Director is responsible for all regional planning and<br />
administrative functions, including intergovernmental consultation, cooperation and coordination <strong>of</strong><br />
programs. The Executive Director directs PAG staff in the development and implementation <strong>of</strong> the annual<br />
<strong>Overall</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Program</strong>. PAG’s Organization Chart is provided in Appendix A.<br />
<strong>Overall</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Program</strong><br />
PAG’s comprehensive regional planning program is implemented through PAG's <strong>Overall</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Program</strong> (OWP).<br />
Member jurisdictions look to PAG to provide a regional context for actions taken by federal, state and local<br />
government agencies. PAG uses an inclusive, consensus-building approach to address issues related to future<br />
growth, development and quality <strong>of</strong> life in the region.<br />
PAG's work program is largely developed and implemented through a cooperative inter-agency process<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> 1 June 28, 2012
involving elected <strong>of</strong>ficials, citizens and interest groups, as well as the management, pr<strong>of</strong>essional and technical<br />
staff from member jurisdictions.<br />
MPO Designation<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the work elements included in PAG's OWP are designed to support PAG's responsibilities as the<br />
region's MPO and the Transportation Management Area (TMA). Since transportation planning and<br />
programming functions dominate the scope <strong>of</strong> PAG's work program, most work elements reflect PAG's<br />
responsibilities for meeting federal requirements under SAFETEA-LU, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act<br />
amendments and Title VI <strong>of</strong> the Civil Rights Act. Other work elements may be shaped by needs and changes in<br />
the region, including growth in population, jobs and motor vehicle travel. The work program outlines a unified<br />
approach regardless <strong>of</strong> funding source.<br />
Every four years the federal Intermodal Planning Group conducts a certification review <strong>of</strong> the adequacy <strong>of</strong><br />
PAG's processes in terms <strong>of</strong> its MPO responsibilities. The most recent review took place in June 2010.<br />
Federal Planning Emphasis Areas<br />
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) establishes "Planning Emphasis Areas" for use in the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> state and metropolitan planning work programs. Eight themes are currently identified by the Safe,<br />
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU):<br />
1. Support the economic vitality <strong>of</strong> the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness,<br />
and efficiency.<br />
2. Increase the safety <strong>of</strong> the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users.<br />
3. Increase the security <strong>of</strong> the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users.<br />
4. Increase the accessibility and mobility <strong>of</strong> people and for freight.<br />
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality <strong>of</strong> life, and<br />
promote consistency between transportation improvements and state and local planned growth and<br />
economic development patterns.<br />
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity <strong>of</strong> the transportation system, across and between modes, for<br />
people and freight.<br />
7. Promote efficient system management and operation.<br />
8. Emphasize the preservation <strong>of</strong> the existing transportation system.<br />
Through these national planning priorities, the FHWA attempts to align federal, state and local interests, while<br />
laying the groundwork for sharing effective approaches and "best practices." PAG annually reviews its work<br />
efforts as they relate to each planning emphasis area. This review is summarized in Appendix B.<br />
RTA Designation<br />
On April 23, 2004, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano signed legislation that enabled <strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Governments</strong> (PAG) to function as a Regional Transportation Authority (RTA). Title 48 Chapter 30 <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Arizona Revised Statutes establishes the RTA and outlines the requirements for its operations. By statute, the<br />
PAG Regional Council is also the governing body <strong>of</strong> the RTA. Although the PAG MPO Regional Council and the<br />
RTA Board have the same governing body, they function independently and the <strong>of</strong>ficers for each entity are<br />
separately elected from among the Board members.<br />
Annual Process for OWP Development and Assessment<br />
The annual development <strong>of</strong> PAG's <strong>Overall</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Program</strong>, along with an assessment <strong>of</strong> progress made toward<br />
implementing work elements, has become an institutionalized process. Each year, PAG considers and adapts to<br />
federal planning emphasis areas and also conducts a longer-term, strategic review <strong>of</strong> likely internal and<br />
external influences on PAG's mission and work activities. For instance, during FY 2010-11, PAG included, for the<br />
first time, specific work tasks to address emerging concerns related to climate change, greenhouse gas<br />
reductions, livability and sustainability. In FY 2011-12, a work element was added to strengthen transportation<br />
planning and environmental linkages, and in late 2011, PAG established a Sustainable Environment <strong>Program</strong><br />
designed to create efficiencies and better integrate existing work activities in support <strong>of</strong> the long-term<br />
environmental, economic and social vitality <strong>of</strong> the community.<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> 2 June 28, 2012
OWP planning starts about seven months prior to the July 1 start <strong>of</strong> the fiscal year. PAG staff evaluates progress<br />
to-date on the current program, examines the need for continuing work elements, assesses new work activity<br />
needs and sets preliminary priorities. Development <strong>of</strong> PAG's OWP also involves each <strong>of</strong> PAG's member<br />
jurisdictions and related agencies, including members and subcommittees <strong>of</strong> the Transportation Planning<br />
Committee, Environmental Planning Advisory Committee, Management Committee and Regional Council. This<br />
process, lasting three or more months, generates several draft documents, each successively refining the scope<br />
<strong>of</strong> proposed draft work elements, purposes, tasks and anticipated costs.<br />
A draft document is distributed to members <strong>of</strong> the federal Intermodal Planning Group (IPG), Arizona<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation (ADOT) and other parties, prior to their annual spring site visit to PAG.<br />
Subsequent drafts incorporate federal, state and local review comments. A final draft is made available for<br />
agency and public review and comment prior to presentation to the Regional Council for action, typically in<br />
April or May. Once approved, the OWP is distributed to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), FHWA and<br />
ADOT for approval prior to the start <strong>of</strong> the new fiscal year.<br />
PAG has established a process to continuously monitor and assess progress on the adopted work program.<br />
Quarterly progress reports are prepared and distributed to the Management Committee, Regional Council,<br />
ADOT, other grant agencies, and other interested parties. These efforts help evaluate needed resources and<br />
assure that adequate attention and satisfactory progress are achieved by PAG staff, consultants and other<br />
responsible agencies on assigned work elements and tasks.<br />
Appendix C summarizes key work program accomplishments during the 2011-12 fiscal year period.<br />
OWP Structure<br />
PAG's <strong>Overall</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Program</strong> addresses regional planning needs and activities within the following major<br />
program areas:<br />
• Transportation Planning <strong>Program</strong>.<br />
• Sustainable Environment <strong>Program</strong>.<br />
• Energy and Alternative Resources.<br />
• Other Regional Planning and Technical Services.<br />
• Administrative Support, IT and Communication Services.<br />
Generally, PAG accounts for revenues and expenditures at the program area level. Specific work elements<br />
within each program help define PAG's organizational structure, including the alignment <strong>of</strong> staff, space,<br />
equipment and other resources. Each work element includes additional detail on overall objectives, tasks and<br />
deliverable products. PAG task assignments and quarterly progress reports are made at the work element level.<br />
Note that the numerical designations shown for each work element described herein correlate with PAG<br />
budgeting/billing codes and are not intended to indicate any sequence or priority.<br />
Budget Summary<br />
The OWP budget includes all <strong>of</strong> the revenues that flow directly to PAG, including those that are passedthrough<br />
to other responsible agencies and sub-grantees. Revenues are summarized into funds received, or<br />
reimbursed for eligible expenses from federal agencies, state agencies, local share contributions from PAG<br />
member jurisdictions, other local sources, and pass-through to Outside Services. PAG uses its local share<br />
contributions for matching <strong>of</strong> federal funds and for supplemental allocations to programs. Budget controls are<br />
applied at the program area level, not at the more detailed work element level.<br />
Appendix D <strong>of</strong> this document includes more detail on revenues and expenditures by source. A combination <strong>of</strong><br />
cash and in-kind match may be used for any required matches for federal funds. The following tables are<br />
provided:<br />

Federal Planning Emphasis Areas<br />
The Federal Highway Administration establishes "Planning Emphasis Areas" for use in the development <strong>of</strong> state<br />
and metropolitan planning work programs. The following eight planning themes were identified by the Safe,<br />
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU):<br />
• Support the economic vitality <strong>of</strong> the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness,<br />
productivity and efficiency.<br />
• Increase the safety <strong>of</strong> the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users.<br />
• Increase the security <strong>of</strong> the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users.<br />
• Increase the accessibility and mobility <strong>of</strong> people and for freight.<br />
• Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality <strong>of</strong> life, and<br />
promote consistency between transportation improvements and state and local planned growth and<br />
economic development patterns.<br />
• Enhance the integration and connectivity <strong>of</strong> the transportation system, across and between modes, for<br />
people and freight.<br />
• Promote efficient system management and operation.<br />
• Emphasize the preservation <strong>of</strong> the existing transportation system.<br />
With these national planning priorities, the FHWA attempts to align federal, state and local interests, while<br />
laying the groundwork for sharing effective approaches and "best practices" on that work. Annually, PAG<br />
reviews its work efforts as they relate to each planning emphasis area. Key activities are discussed below.<br />
1. Support the economic vitality <strong>of</strong> the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global<br />
competitiveness, productivity and efficiency<br />
PAG recognizes that the region's transportation system is a key element in enhancing the economic vitality <strong>of</strong><br />
the metropolitan area. A number <strong>of</strong> FY 2011-12 work elements examine regional strategies for coordinating<br />
and integrating system operations across modes and jurisdictions (including multi-state and international<br />
connections), and enhancing our economic vitality.<br />
PAG continues to monitor, respond to changes, and coordinate actions in the regional economic arena related<br />
to trade, corridor and route considerations. PAG staff share information and resources with local and state<br />
economic development agencies, maintain a database <strong>of</strong> border trade and traffic information, and seek to<br />
educate the public on economic and other trade issues.<br />
PAG has established a MainStreet assistance program for businesses that may be affected by road construction<br />
along major RTA project corridors. A comprehensive business contact database is maintained to help these<br />
businesses struggle less and prosper more during transportation projects by providing information, facilitating<br />
communication and <strong>of</strong>fering individual and group business consulting services.<br />
PAG maintains and maps a database inventory <strong>of</strong> regional transportation and logistics assets in the region. This<br />
map is made available to Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities Inc. (TREO) for marketing and economic<br />
development purposes. PAG also works with an independent outreach organization, Southern Arizona<br />
Logistics Education Organization (SALEO), to network with transportation and logistics companies and to<br />
enhance planning for needed regional logistics infrastructure.<br />
2. Increase the safety <strong>of</strong> the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users<br />
Safety was identified as a major goal in the development <strong>of</strong> the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). PAG’s<br />
Transportation Safety <strong>Work</strong>ing Group develops project and program safety recommendations in support <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Regional Transportation Plan. Safety also is integrated into the TIP project selection process. PAG has<br />
developed and holds educational forums and training workshops about various aspects <strong>of</strong> safety planning in<br />
the region, including traffic incident management, railroad crossing safety and Safe Routes to Schools. PAG<br />
also coordinates with outside agency safety programs such as the City <strong>of</strong> Tucson’s Regional Safety<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> Appendices-2 June 28, 2012
Management Database. PAG is an active participant in the Arizona Road Safety Assessment program<br />
administered by ADOT and in FY 2011 established a regional RSA program.<br />
PAG is actively involved in the administration <strong>of</strong> Highway Safety Improvement <strong>Program</strong> (HSIP) funds within the<br />
region. This has included analysis <strong>of</strong> safety issues and identification <strong>of</strong> appropriate projects to move forward for<br />
funding.<br />
The Regional Transportation Authority plan continues to promote safety within the region with the funding <strong>of</strong><br />
over 450 projects designed to improve safety, including intersections, crosswalks, sidewalks, bike lanes and<br />
others.<br />
3. Increase the security <strong>of</strong> the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users<br />
PAG has been an active participant in a variety <strong>of</strong> transportation security efforts throughout the region<br />
including, transit security training, regional evacuation plan development and hazard mitigation plan<br />
development.<br />
4. Increase the accessibility and mobility <strong>of</strong> people and freight<br />
PAG regularly updates a Public Transit-Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan to identify regional<br />
human service transportation needs and develop strategies to meet these needs. PAG also administers ADOT's<br />
5310 program regionally, which provides assistance for agencies to purchase transit vehicles for elderly and<br />
disabled populations. PAG provides assistance to the region in coordinating the region's Job Access Reverse<br />
Commute (5316) and New Freedoms (5317) applications.<br />
The Regional Transportation Authority plan includes many enhancements to meet the human services<br />
transportation needs. The transit element <strong>of</strong> the plan includes a major expansion <strong>of</strong> Sun Van, the region's<br />
primary paratransit service provider, provides funding for Coyote Run, a premium paratransit service in the<br />
region and the implementation <strong>of</strong> three neighborhood transit circulators that are ADA accessible and provide<br />
curb-to-curb service. Additionally, the transit element includes a partnership between the RTA and the <strong>Pima</strong><br />
Council on Aging to fund expansion <strong>of</strong> a volunteer-based transportation program for elderly residents. Finally,<br />
many safety improvements are included in the plan, including elderly/pedestrian crossings, sidewalk<br />
improvements, bus shelters and others.<br />
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality <strong>of</strong> life, and<br />
promote consistency between transportation improvements and state and local planned growth and<br />
economic development patterns<br />
In an effort to streamline and increase both internal efficiencies and services to jurisdictions and the<br />
community, PAG merged the watershed, air quality and travel demand management elements <strong>of</strong> its work<br />
program into a new Sustainable Environment <strong>Program</strong> in late 2011. The goal for the program is to become a<br />
resource for member jurisdictions in support <strong>of</strong> the long-term environmental, economic and social vitality <strong>of</strong><br />
our community. Additional goals include positioning the region to apply for sustainability grants and utilize<br />
other funding sources not otherwise available. This change also allows PAG to more comprehensively support<br />
air quality control goals <strong>of</strong> the Travel Demand <strong>Program</strong> (TDM).<br />
PAG continues to fulfill its role as the Designated Planning Agency under Section 208 <strong>of</strong> the Clean Water Act<br />
and as the Designated Lead Air Quality Planning Organization in compliance with the Clean Air Act. PAG's<br />
Watershed Planning <strong>Program</strong> works to ensure proper planning <strong>of</strong> wastewater treatment facilities throughout<br />
the region and routinely answers questions and provides information about the Areawide Water Quality<br />
Management Plan. PAG’s Air Quality Planning program assesses regional air pollution through air quality<br />
modeling, which provides key input into PAG’s Transportation Improvement <strong>Program</strong> and Regional<br />
Transportation Plan.<br />
PAG committees help facilitate coordination between jurisdictions and stakeholders and keep them informed<br />
about environmental issues. The Environmental Planning Advisory Committee (EPAC) serves as a regional<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> Appendices-3 June 28, 2012
forum for discussion and information sharing. Each year, EPAC updates its Top Ten Environmental Issues to<br />
highlight those issues that are likely to be <strong>of</strong> note for our region during FY 2012 - 2013 and provides those lists<br />
to the Regional Council to inform our region's management and elected bodies about environmental priorities<br />
during the coming year. PAG’s Watershed Planning and Air Quality Subcommittee similarly provide forums for<br />
technical discussions and education. PAG’s Stormwater Management <strong>Work</strong>ing Group serves as a steering<br />
committee for PAG’s stormwater outreach and education, in addition connecting jurisdictions, regulators, the<br />
construction industry and those interested in low impact development.<br />
During FY 10-11, PAG’s air quality planning focused on modeling and greenhouse gas emissions inventories for<br />
PAG’s jurisdictions. The 2008 Revision to the Carbon Monoxide (CO) Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) was<br />
approved effective Jan. 20, 2010, and PAG continues commitments related to the maintenance <strong>of</strong> the CO<br />
standard in the Tucson Air Planning Area. PAG carefully monitors developments related to the impact <strong>of</strong> the<br />
strengthened ozone health standards for the Tucson Air Planning Area. The anticipated strengthening <strong>of</strong><br />
standards in 2013 would likely move the Tucson region into nonattainment status and require the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> an air quality plan. This year, PAG staff worked toward transitioning to using the new EPA<br />
required MOVES air quality model. The new model will be integrated into the program and used in conjunction<br />
with the MOBILE 6.2 model until complete transition to MOVES is required by EPA.<br />
PAG’s Watershed planning continues to focus on regional water coordination, upland watershed monitoring<br />
along Cienega Creek, stormwater pollution prevention outreach, as well as completing various other water<br />
projects. Research conducted by PAG provides key information about drought in our region to the statewide<br />
AZ Drought Watch program and provides information about subsurface mixing <strong>of</strong> Central Arizona Project<br />
water and groundwater beneath Tucson Water’s recharge facilities. This year, PAG participated in a core team<br />
<strong>of</strong> five individuals to assess the region’s interest in regional water coordination. This work culminated in a<br />
report published in August 2011, several outreach events in late 2011, both <strong>of</strong> which were positively received<br />
by participants and the community. Stormwater pollution prevention outreach was expanded to include social<br />
networking and expanded messaging in hyper-local magazines and venues. New graphics were created and<br />
used in all outreach to increase message recognition. Because our transportation system is also our stormwater<br />
conveyance system and because the development industry is directly affected by stormwater regulation, PAG’s<br />
stormwater program consistently seeks to connect these disparate interest groups.<br />
A continuing project that started in FY 2009 - 2010 is the coordination and deployment <strong>of</strong> infrastructure<br />
required for electric vehicles which became commercially available in late 2010. PAG is working with<br />
stakeholders to ensure that fast-charging stations are available throughout the region for these fully electric,<br />
zero tailpipe emissions cars.<br />
One goal <strong>of</strong> the PAG environmental programs is to protect the environment by reducing vehicle traffic and<br />
improving air quality through the use <strong>of</strong> alternate modes <strong>of</strong> travel or the use <strong>of</strong> alternative fuels. The Clean<br />
Cities program is structured to achieve, through local planning, national objectives established by federal<br />
environmental and energy laws.<br />
In FY 2011 - 2012, a work element was added to strengthen transportation planning and environmental<br />
linkages. PAG endeavors to assure that transportation planning and project development activities are linked<br />
so that the decisions made in the planning process are incorporated into the National Environmental Policy Act<br />
(NEPA) process. The evaluation <strong>of</strong> multi-modal transportation alternatives and initial assessment <strong>of</strong> community<br />
impacts continue to be an integral part <strong>of</strong> the decision-making process, leading to the identification <strong>of</strong> quality<br />
transportation projects that address a broad range <strong>of</strong> community needs. To that end, a key component <strong>of</strong><br />
PAG's planning process is the ongoing and active participation <strong>of</strong> multi-modal representatives, environmental<br />
groups, local <strong>of</strong>ficials, various community interest groups and traditionally underserved populations in<br />
addition to the general public. The outcomes <strong>of</strong> the planning process become starting points for more specific<br />
project development NEPA analyses.<br />
PAG staff provides support to implement the Regional Transportation Authority's wildlife connectivity<br />
planning element which will result in structural improvements to transportation corridors that benefit wildlife.<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> Appendices-4 June 28, 2012
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity <strong>of</strong> the transportation system, across and between modes,<br />
for people and freight<br />
PAG's Regional Transportation Plan assures the connectivity <strong>of</strong> the region's transportation system to areas<br />
beyond PAG's planning boundaries by making connectivity an integral part <strong>of</strong> the planning process. PAG has<br />
pursued an active leadership role in trade and economic corridor studies. The hallmark <strong>of</strong> PAG's Intermodal<br />
Management System Plan is its attention to connectivity among all modes.<br />
Representatives <strong>of</strong> the freight community and local elected <strong>of</strong>ficials have played a key role in the planning<br />
process. Their involvement was a critical factor in the initial development <strong>of</strong> the Intermodal Management<br />
System Plan. PAG regularly engages freight community representatives in planning <strong>of</strong> trade corridors,<br />
discussions <strong>of</strong> international border issues, regional aviation system planning, ITS deployment planning and<br />
examination <strong>of</strong> transportation financing strategies.<br />
PAG and TREO, the region's economic development agency, continue to work together to coordinate the<br />
creation <strong>of</strong> an inland, intermodal port. Recent studies indicate strong demand for such an operation in Tucson,<br />
given I-10, I-19, the Union Pacific Main Rail Line, Nogales Rail Spur, the Tucson International Airport, proximity<br />
to Mexico, and other factors.<br />
Additional work elements focus on strategies to better coordinate and integrate system operations across<br />
modes and jurisdictions. The primary thrust <strong>of</strong> PAG's ITS Strategic Deployment Plan and ITS improvements,<br />
such as the regional advanced traveler information system and traffic signal interconnection and coordination,<br />
is to specifically address coordination and integration issues. Coordination and integration across modes, as<br />
well as across jurisdictions, is a primary goal <strong>of</strong> the Regional Transportation Plan.<br />
7. Promote efficient system management and operation<br />
The Travel Reduction <strong>Program</strong> (TRP) and Rideshare (RS) programs continue to be operational in nature and<br />
both programs have become components <strong>of</strong> the Sustainable Environment <strong>Program</strong> in order to be more closely<br />
coordinated with other environmental programs.<br />
The Travel Reduction and Rideshare programs continued partnership with Sun Tran to jointly promote the<br />
Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) <strong>Program</strong> for carpoolers, and GRH has been extended to include all TRP<br />
employees riding Sun Tran. The regional Vanpool <strong>Program</strong> is gaining momentum among employers who are<br />
contributing subsidies for the vans in addition to the regional subsidy.<br />
PAG has incorporated an enhanced focus on management and operations into the transportation planning<br />
program to enhance and create a regional approach. This regional approach includes extensive<br />
coordination/collaboration for activities including but not limited to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS),<br />
regional pavement management, regional collection <strong>of</strong> Highway Performance Monitoring data, freight<br />
planning, safety planning and regional policy development and research (for issues such as access<br />
management).<br />
The PAG Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) specifically identifies ongoing requirements for annual average<br />
maintenance and operations (M&O) expenses as well as project specific requirements associated with the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> new or improved transportation facilities. The RTP also includes maintenance <strong>of</strong> effort<br />
provisions in the financial constraint analysis. Increased levels <strong>of</strong> M&O also have been included in the mix <strong>of</strong><br />
new expenditures evaluated in the Plan. PAG has identified additional opportunities to incorporate M&O into<br />
planning in regional transit planning and operations.<br />
PAG's Regional Concept for Transportation Operations (RCTO) includes: documentation <strong>of</strong> current<br />
transportation operations procedures and responsibilities, recommended changes to improve operations<br />
region wide (3-5 years and TIP integration), agreed upon performance measures for tracking, and commitment<br />
<strong>of</strong> PAG and its member agencies in carrying out the plan. As a result <strong>of</strong> the RCTO development, PAG has<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> Appendices-5 June 28, 2012
established a Regional Traffic Signal Operations <strong>Program</strong>, continued expansion <strong>of</strong> its regional travel<br />
information program known as TransView, and increased its active role in traffic incident management. PAG's<br />
coordinated approach has led to the establishment <strong>of</strong> a multi-jurisdiction municipally owned communications<br />
network to support transportation operations, the development <strong>of</strong> a regional traffic signal model, the retiming<br />
<strong>of</strong> over 600 traffic signals throughout the region, and the establishment <strong>of</strong> a regional traffic operations center<br />
to better coordinate system management and incident response. PAG also participates in ADOT's multi-modal<br />
freight analysis study.<br />
PAG's watershed and air quality planning processes incorporate operational features that provide expert<br />
technical support to our member jurisdictions. The PAG environmental programs continue to identify and<br />
respond to regional needs with a focused and coordinated approach and to better synch up with sustainability<br />
programs throughout the region by being part <strong>of</strong> PAG’s new Sustainable Environment <strong>Program</strong>.<br />
The population and employment forecasting process has been closely integrated with local planning efforts.<br />
This is particularly true with general and comprehensive plans that have been developed under the state's<br />
Growing Smarter legislation. Growing Smarter requires jurisdictions to include environmental and open space<br />
elements in their plans. Also, the county's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan defines the regional conservation<br />
lands system. The regional, jurisdictional and small area population forecasts used for the Regional<br />
Transportation Plan update reflect these plans and policy directives. PAG continues work to refine the land use<br />
model, SAM, the same model used by Maricopa <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong>.<br />
Both the <strong>Pima</strong> County Department <strong>of</strong> Environmental Quality and the Arizona Department <strong>of</strong> Environmental<br />
Quality actively participate in PAG's transportation planning process, either through involvement in various<br />
committees and/or through joint funding arrangements. Increasingly, land use has been a focus to improve<br />
projections and ensure compatibility with jurisdictional plans so as to incorporate the best possible land use<br />
information in the datasets used for modeling.<br />
The Transportation Improvement <strong>Program</strong> (TIP) Subcommittee's prioritization system for project selection<br />
includes environmental issues related to the operation <strong>of</strong> the system as a planning factor. In addition,<br />
environmental concerns continue to be critical parts <strong>of</strong> the analysis in a variety <strong>of</strong> corridor studies. <strong>Pima</strong> County<br />
has developed guidelines for transportation infrastructure in environmentally sensitive areas and will be<br />
incorporating these elements into <strong>Pima</strong> County's Roadway Design Guideline Manual.<br />
PAG has identified other distinct opportunities to provide more integration <strong>of</strong> planning and environmental<br />
processes, especially in ITS Planning, Transit Planning, and Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning. Environmental<br />
concerns have been and are critical in all these activities as they relate to smoother traffic operations and<br />
alternative modes <strong>of</strong> travel.<br />
8. Emphasize the preservation <strong>of</strong> the existing transportation system<br />
A high priority identified by agencies, stakeholders and the public throughout PAG's planning and<br />
programming activities is the preservation <strong>of</strong> the existing regional transportation system, particularly given the<br />
extreme funding limitations <strong>of</strong> today’s economy. Between 35 percent and 40 percent <strong>of</strong> forecasted revenues<br />
are dedicated to operations and maintenance <strong>of</strong> the existing system pursuant to the 2040 RTP Financial Plan<br />
adopted by the PAG Regional Council on July 1, 2010.<br />
The Regional Transportation Authority Plan, approved by the voters <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pima</strong> County in 2006 has helped,<br />
alleviate some funding limitations by providing $2.1 billion over 20 years for transportation capacity<br />
improvements. This dedicated regional funding stream for transportation improvements provides the<br />
jurisdictions with greater flexibility to use their other existing funding sources to address the maintenance<br />
needs throughout the community.<br />
PAG's Regional Pavement Management System program serves to provide PAG member agencies with the<br />
appropriate tools and data to assess the deterioration <strong>of</strong> publicly owned roadways and other roadway<br />
infrastructure. The regional pavement program helps provide extended pavement life cycles and reduced<br />
<strong>Pima</strong> <strong>Association</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Governments</strong> Appendices-6 June 28, 2012
pavement costs by maintaining a comprehensive inventory and rating all appropriate roadways in the region<br />
for pavement rehabilitation. This inventory and roadway rating were successfully used in the development <strong>of</strong><br />
ready-to-go pavement rehabilitation projects for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act<br />
(ARRA). In FY 2011, PAG funding allowed for the purchase <strong>of</strong> a new state-<strong>of</strong>-the art Automatic Road Analyzer<br />
(ARAN) regional pavement preservation van. The ARAN van is used to make pr<strong>of</strong>ile-based roughness<br />
measurements in each wheel path on the surface <strong>of</strong> test pavements. Testing can be conducted at any speed<br />
between 15 mph and posted limits so that roads do not have to be closed to facilitate data collection.<br />
