Under pending IRR program rules, tribes will be required to have long-range transportation plans. How does ADOT plan to incorporate these tribal plans into the MoveAZ plans?
Tribal plans have been reviewed to identify improvement needs to state highways within tribal land. A good time to improve this coordination process will be during the next update period for the Long Range Transportation Plan. This update will start with the completion of MoveAZ in 2004 and conclude in five years. MoveAZ project recommendations wont appear in the State Transportation Construction Program until about 2010, so we have some time. Dont underestimate the importance of using performance measures as the major criteria for selection; it is incumbent upon rural areas to make sure we have our ducks in a row so we can compete with the metro areas.
