A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP
Mayor Kate Gallego
Councilmember Debra Stark  
Chair, Transportation, Infrastructure 
and Planning Subcommittee
Commissioner Jennifer Mellor 
Chair, Citizens Transportation 
Commission
“Transportation 2050 is an unprecedented 
investment in our community, our 
economy, and our future,” said Mayor 
Kate Gallego. “Our voters made one of 
the largest investments in transit and 
transportation infrastructure of its kind in 
the country, and now we are seeing those 
investments starting to pay off. More 
Phoenix residents are finding that mass 
transit is the way to go, especially as gas 
prices remain higher. T2050 is expanding 
our transportation service, helping us 
prepare for the future, and positioning 
Phoenix for decades of economic growth.”
“When voters approved T2050, they 
approved expanded investment in 
Phoenix’s infrastructure for the next 
35 years,” said Councilmember Stark. 
“Street improvements, expanded 
bus service, improved Dial-a-Ride 
and light rail expansion are all 
priorities in the plan that residents 
overwhelmingly supported. As we 
continue to improve transportation in 
Phoenix, our residents, and everyone 
who visits our city, will benefit from 
the vision our voters had when they 
approved this plan.”
“The T2050 plan continues to improve 
transportation in Phoenix with an 
expanding transit system and new 
paving projects on our city’s busiest 
arterial streets. The future is bright 
for transportation in Phoenix with 
new light rail projects underway, 
new asphalt smoothing the ride on 
even busier city streets, and our bus 
system providing multiple alternatives 
for residents looking for greener, 
more affordable ways to get to and 
from home, work, entertainment, and 
the community.”

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Transportation 2050 (T2050) is 
Phoenix’s 35-year plan dedicated 
to improving multiple modes 
of transportation in Phoenix, 
including bus, light rail,  
Dial-a-Ride (DAR), streets, bikes lanes,  
and active transportation. Phoenix voters 
made T2050 possible when they approved  
Proposition 104 on August 25, 2015. The 
measure, which replaced the previous 0.4% 
sales tax with a 0.7% sales tax, became 
effective Jan. 1, 2016, and allocates 70 cents 
of each $100 spent to the city’s transportation 
needs. Approximately 86% of funds support 
public transit and 14% supplement street 
maintenance and improvement funds.
T2050 revenues supplement other sources 
of transportation funding, allowing the city to 
accomplish more. This report summarizes 
T2050 accomplishments for July 1, 2021, to 
June 30, 2022 (FY 2022). In addition, the report 
identifies cumulative 
progress, since the start 
of the program, and 
provides an overview of 
improvements planned for 
the next five years.
T2050 is dedicated to improving multiple modes 
of transportation in Phoenix, including bus, light 
rail, Dial-a-Ride (DAR), streets, bikes lanes, and 
active transportation.

Lifecycle Revenues
Over the course of 35 years, Phoenix expects 
sales tax revenue to generate more than half 
of the estimated $31.5 billion in overall T2050 
funding. The remaining funds will be provided by 
federal, state, regional and local funding sources. 
 shows funding sources as established 
at the start of the program. 
In addition to these funds, Public Transit and 
Street Transportation Department staff will 
pursue any opportunities to reduce costs through 
innovation and efficient project delivery methods. 
More information on program assumptions can 
be found in the appendix, with projected and 
actual sales tax revenue shown in Table A.1.

Lifecycle Expenditures
At times, revenue projections for T2050 will 
exceed projected expenditures for a given 
year. This helps to ensure that the plan has 
available funds in future years for large 
capital projects such as light rail construction, 
park-and-ride facilities, and to ensure a fund 
balance is maintained whenever possible 
during the life of the plan. 
 shows 
planned uses of funds as established at the 
launch of the program.
Figure 1.2 Planned Uses of Funds
As COVID-19 cases are declining ridership is 
slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 virus resulted in a global 
pandemic beginning in 2020 and significantly 
shifted consumer demands. Ridership numbers 
steeply declined because social distancing 
requirements changed travel patterns and 
work practices in various industries continue 
to evolve. Ridership has been progressively 
increasing since the initial decline. However, it 
still remains below pre-pandemic levels. This 
report notes the effects of changes due to the 
pandemic within each program area.
FY 2022 Financial Summary 
and Projection 
The total operating and capital budgets for 
FY 2022 are $865,738,551. Table A.2 in the 
appendix details budgeted and actual revenues 
and expenditures.

Public Outreach
To understand residents’ transportation 
needs, staff regularly engages with the 
public at open houses and public meetings. 
They also attend community events, 
providing information and gathering input 
on a variety of topics, including increasing 
transit access; planning bus routes 
and extensions, future light rail station 
locations, potential bus rapid transit routes; 
building and improving roads; and creating 
and improving bike lanes.
Due to the pandemic, staff members 
utilized a mixture of in-person and virtual 
meeting platforms to conduct outreach 
and receive community input throughout 
the year. Staff members hosted virtual 
public meetings, accessible by phone 
or computer. Virtual meetings included 
presentations, a variety of speakers, and 
public question-and-answer segments. As 
COVID rates continue to decline across 
the Greater Phoenix area, in-person 
public meetings will once again be a 
consideration. 
Formal Oversight
The Citizens Transportation Commission (CTC) 
was established in 2015 by the mayor and 
Phoenix City Council to provide oversight of 
the T2050 program. The Phoenix City Council 
appoints a total of 15 commission members 
to address street and transit needs, provide 
oversight on the expenditure of funds, and 
make recommendations on plan elements.

BUS AND DIAL-A-RIDE
The Phoenix Public Transit 
Department (PTD) focuses 
on operating transportation 
services that allow riders to have 
a safe ride while knowing there 
is much value in physically connecting our 
communities. With the available services, riders 
are able to get to schools, health facilities, jobs, 
grocery stores, pharmacies and many other 
critical connections. The department works 
in partnership with Valley Metro, the regional 
public transportation agency that provides 
coordinated transit services to riders in the 
metro area. 
Phoenix residents have access to a wide range 
of public transportation options, including fixed 
route bus and light rail service, neighborhood 
circulators, express commuter buses and 
alternative transportation services such as 
Dial a Ride (DAR) for people who are unable 
to utilize local routes due to a disability. This 
implies local bus/LRT and not just “bus service 
For additional transit information, visit  
phoenix.gov/publictransit.
Funding and Budget
Bus and DAR receive T2050 sales tax 
revenues and funding from federal grants. 
Funding is also generated from fare revenues, 
transit advertising, and the Regional Public 
Transportation Fund.
Employing all those resources, PTD used 
$235.5 million in FY 2022 to support ongoing 
operations and system improvements, 
which included greater bus frequency, 
additional and extended bus routes, new 
vehicles, shaded bus stops and security and 
technology enhancements. Phoenix plans 
to use $2.1 billion in the next five years to 
continue bus and DAR operations, make capital 
investments to ensure that the system remains 
in a state of good repair and further expand 
Dial-a-Ride buses provide people with disabilities 
a safe and convenient means of transportation.

COVID-19 Response
The Transportation Security Administration  
has lifted its federal mask mandate for all 
transportation services. Masks are now 
optional and no longer required for riders or 
employees of the Valley Metro system. The 
Centers for Disease Control continues to 
encourage masks on public transportation. 
PTD regularly updates staff members and 
contractors about health and safety protocols 
as CDC guidelines change. 
Despite the lessening of the impact of the 
COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on ridership 
and fare revenue, PTD is still operating at a 
reduced service level. The morning service 
span is restored to pre-pandemic levels, while 
evening service currently ends at 11 p.m. daily.  
We have continued to extend bus and Dial-a-
Ride service hours to match light rail hours. 
However, the pandemic’s continuing impact to 
ridership and labor force have so far prevented 
PTD from fully resuming pre-pandemic levels of 
In FY 2022, a total of 20,998,943 bus boardings
occurred in Phoenix, which is about half the
pre-pandemic level.
Local Fixed Route
The foundation of the public transportation 
network is local fixed route bus service. 
Riders can easily make their way to desired 
locations across the Valley using the grid 
system on which buses operate. Bus services 
were available nearly 24 hours per day prior to 
reductions in service due to the pandemic.
In FY 2022, a total of 20,998,943 bus boardings 
occurred in Phoenix, which is about half the 
pre-pandemic level. Throughout the pandemic, 
riders continued to use public transit for 
essential trips. PTD communicated with 
passengers about safety measures put in 
place throughout the transit environment.
Dial-a-Ride and Alternative 
Transportation Services 
Phoenix provides a variety of alternative 
transportation options including DAR, ADA 
Cab, Senior Cab and Senior Center Shuttle, 
Employment Trips and Medical Trips. 
DAR provides federally required paratransit 
service to individuals unable to ride the bus 
or light rail. This service complements fixed 
route bus service by operating during the same 
service hours. DAR passengers can schedule 
a ride by phone or TripSpark, an online 
reservation tool launched in 2018. 
MARY (Maryvale Area Ride for You) is one of four
circulator bus routes connecting key 
neighborhood destinations, like libraries and 
grocery stores.
Circulator Service
Four circulator routes connect local area 
residents with key neighborhood destinations, 
including libraries, grocery stores and 
community centers. Phoenix’s routes are ALEX 
(Ahwatukee Local Explorer), DASH (Downtown 
Area Shuttle), MARY (Maryvale Area Ride for 
You) and SMART (Sunnyslope Multi-Access 
Residential Transit).
PTD began conducting the Neighborhood 
Transit Study in FY22. The study will use 
public outreach meetings and surveys to 
review Phoenix’s current circulators. The 
study outcomes may include different fixed 
routing proposed by the public, frequency 
improvements, or different service delivery 
type such as flexible route. PTD began the 
study with a focus on the downtown DASH 
route and expects a report to be completed in 
FY 2023.

Residents in suburban areas have six RAPID route
options that provide a fast, stress free alternative 
to driving into downtown Phoenix.
RAPID Commuter
Six RAPID routes provide residents in 
suburban areas with an alternative to driving to 
downtown Phoenix.  
Park-and-Ride 
PTD maintains and operates nine park-and-
ride facilities, including the Sunnyslope, 
Metrocenter and Desert Sky transit centers, 
which provide free parking for transit users. 
In addition, Valley Metro manages five light 
rail park-and-ride locations along the Phoenix 
portion of the light rail alignment. A new park-
and-ride facility is anticipated to open in Laveen 
near Baseline Road and the South Mountain 
Freeway in 2024.
Bus Stops and Shelters 
PTD added 96 shade structures to existing 
bus stops during the past fiscal year. Over the 
next five fiscal years, Phoenix plans to install at 
least 80 additional shade structures at existing 
bus stops each year, totaling 400 new shade 
structures by FY 2027.
Over the next five fiscal years, Phoenix plans 
to install at least 400 new shade structures at 
existing bus stops across the city.

Technology
Phoenix finalized the conversion of its regional 
transit fleet to the new Computer-Aided 
Dispatch/Automated Vehicle Location (CAD/
AVL) system supplied by Clever Devices. 
The conversion helped in updating the bus 
system technology and added new features to 
optimize transit system operations, dispatching 
and asset tracking.
The Regional Fare Collection System (FCS) 
Improvement Project is moving forward.  
Design has been completed and bus and light 
rail platform validators will be delivered from 
the manufacturer in the first quarter of FY23. 
All validators will be installed by mid-November 
2022.  A Mobile Ticketing pilot launch will 
begin in December 2022, with fares able to 
be purchased via the mobile app. Phase 2 will 
see a new public-facing website, reloadable 
smartcards, fare capping, and new Ticket 
Vending Machines (TVMs) across light rail.
Operations and Maintenance
Phoenix uses three facilities for bus 
maintenance, fueling and cleaning: the West, 
North and South Transit Facilities. First Transit,  
began providing transit services from the West 
Facility under a new agreement beginning 
July 1, 2018. Transdev began providing transit 
services from the North and South facilities 
under a new agreement beginning July 1, 
2020. Transdev also began providing services 
at the Operations Control Center on July 1, 
2020, adding three new controllers to provide 
increased system support and oversight.

HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT
High-capacity transit (HCT) is 
able to serve more customers 
than traditional bus service 
because it uses larger-capacity 
vehicles. HCT also offers faster 
travel because it bypasses vehicular traffic.
For example, Phoenix’s light rail service can 
operate at faster travel speeds because it runs 
in an exclusive guideway with prioritized traffic 
signaling. The 16.5 miles of light rail service 
within the city of Phoenix is a substantial 
portion of the existing 28.2-mile Valley Metro 
Rail light rail system. Residents use the system 
to connect between the downtown areas of 
Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa, as well as Sky 
Harbor Airport and many other key destinations 
in between. 
In addition to light rail, bus rapid transit (BRT) 
is a key component of continuing to expand 
the city’s HCT network. The BRT program had 
previously completed an 11-month public 
education and community outreach campaign, 
which ran from February to December in 2020. 
The information gathered from this outreach 
effort, in addition to the transit analysis, was 
used to identify the recommended initial BRT 
corridor of 35th Ave and Van Buren Street. 
BRT focuses on improved speed, reliability, 
convenience, and the overall transit experience. 
There are common recurring elements found 
in successful BRT systems including enhanced 
stations, advanced fare collection, custom 
buses, unique branding, dedicated lanes, and 
transit spot improvements such as transit 
signal priority and queue jump lanes.

Phoenix Public Transit Department (PTD)
Despite the remaining challenges brought by COVID-19, the PTD saw significant progress in 
FY22:
	• On September 15, 2021, the Transportation, 
Infrastructure, and Planning Subcommittee 
recommended City Council approval of the 
initial Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor of 
35th Avenue/Van Buren Street.                                     
	• On October 6, 2021, Phoenix City Council 
approved the initial BRT corridor of 35th 
Avenue/Van Buren Street. 
	• In October 2021, Route 0A frequency was 
modified in response to rail construction 
along the route. Route 7 frequency 
improved. Select RAPID trips were also 
restored that were reduced as result of the 
pandemic. 
	• On November 3, 2021, the Phoenix BRT 
hosted a Funding Workshop with Public 
Transit Department staff to discuss funding 
and finance strategies for the initial BRT 
Corridor of 35th Ave/Van Buren Street.
	• In November 2021, PTD performed 
outreach on the proposal to extend the 
MARY circulator further south on 59th 
Avenue. 
	• In April 2022, City Council approved 
further transit analysis, public outreach, 
alternatives analysis and 15% preliminary 
engineering for the initial BRT corridor of 
35th Avenue/Van Buren Street.
	• In May 2022, PTD conducted outreach on 
the proposal to extend Route 43 one mile 
south on 43rd Avenue from Buckeye Road 
to Lower Buckeye Road. The extension was 
subsequently approved and will become 
effective in October 2022.
The BRT webpage, Phoenix.gov/BRT, provides information about the program, including 
frequently asked questions.
Funding and Budget
The cities of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa share 
funding obligations for the ongoing operations 
and maintenance of the light rail system. 
Expenses include vehicle operations, security 
and fare collection, and vehicle and system 
maintenance and administration.
Phoenix allocated $290.2 million in FY 2022 
to support ongoing light rail operations and 
expansion. T2050 includes an investment of 
more than $2 billion to expand and improve 
the city’s HCT network over the next five years. 
The plan includes light rail improvements and 
expansion and development of BRT. In addition 
to revenues generated by the city’s T2050 
sales tax, other funding sources include federal 
grants, the Regional Public Transportation 
Fund, fares and advertising. 
COVID-19 Response
In FY 2020, Valley Metro modified light rail hours 
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and 
these modifications remained largely in place 
through FY 2022. The first full trip on light rail 
began at approximately 4:45 a.m. with the last 
trip starting at 11 p.m. Adjustments included a 
15-minute frequency from 5 a.m.–6 p.m. with no 
late-night service on Friday or Saturday. Sunday 
service remained the same. As public works 
construction is considered an essential service, 
construction activities on HCT projects, such as 
the extension of light rail down Central Avenue 
(South Central Extension/Downtown Hub), and 
the extension of light rail toward the Metrocenter 
transit center (Northwest Extension Phase II) 
were able to progress as planned.
In March of this year construction crews 
completed bridge girder installation crossing 
over Interstate 17 for the Northwest Extension, 
Phase II.
“Bridging East to West” Cranes set the final girders
for the Northwest Extension, Phase II over I-17.

STREET MAINTENANCE  
AND IMPROVEMENTS
The Street Transportation 
Department works to provide 
a safe and sustainable 
transportation network for 
everyone, including pedestrians, 
bicyclists and motorists. 
To ensure that people and goods move 
efficiently through the transportation network, 
the department’s work includes the pavement 
preservation program, asphalt and pothole 
repair and installation of street signs, traffic 
signals, streetlights, bikeways and Americans 
with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps 
and sidewalks. 
Due to a well-defined scope, the Street 
Maintenance Division plans and executes 
many street improvement projects such as 
resurfacing and striping changes. However, 
larger-scale, more complex projects require a 
project assessment phase prior to design and 
construction. Examples of these more complex 
projects include turn lane improvements, lane 
additions and drainage studies.
The Street Transportation Department also 
conducts plan reviews for private development 
projects, construction inspections, materials 
testing and implementation of technology 
enhancements such as Geographic 
Information Systems (GIS). Visit phoenix.gov/
streets for additional information.

Funding and Budget
Phoenix streets receive funding from a variety 
of sources, including 13.8% of T2050 sales 
tax, the state-collected motor fuel tax, city’s 
general fund, regional/Maricopa Association 
of Governments (MAG) funds, federal funds, 
grants and impact fees. 
shows 
the overall T2050 program distribution of 
T2050 funds within the Street Transportation 
Department. 
In FY 2022, Phoenix budgeted approximately 
$44 million in T2050 funding for street 
construction and maintenance projects. 
Phoenix’s T2050 plan for FY22 and the next 
five years includes nearly $285 million to 
improve transportation system infrastructure, 
make ADA improvements, assess and address 
mobility needs and continue maintenance of 
city streets.

COVID-19 Response
During Covid-19 restrictions, street paving and 
patching, pothole repair sign replacement, 
lane striping, traffic signal servicing and 
installation and streetlight repair were not 
significantly affected as they are considered 
essential city services. As Covid-19 impacts 
are further reduced Street Maintenance and 
Improvements will continue.
Throughout this fiscal year, planning and 
design continued with community engagement 
occurring on virtual platforms. The shift to 
virtual engagement has resulted in high levels 
of engagement and valuable input for the 
project teams. 
Updates about health and safety protocols 
were regularly distributed to project teams and 
road crews, allowing schedules to be updated 
accordingly. Health and safety remain a top 
priority for the department.
Accelerated Pavement 
Maintenance Program
In 2018, the Phoenix City Council created 
the Accelerated Pavement Maintenance 
Program (APMP) and allocated $200 million of 
additional funding over five years. 
In June 2022, APMP had already reached 
its goal of 630 miles of mill and overlay 
treatments in just four years, a year sooner 
than its original goal. In FY 2022, under the 
APMP program the department performed 
mill and overlay treatment on 104 miles of 
streets, pavement preservation on 200 miles 
and crack seal on 360 miles in preparation for 
future work. Additionally, 3,411 ADA sidewalk 
ramps were installed. The 2023 paving season 
currently has 59 miles of overlay planned.
The annual Pavement Condition Report details 
the paving assessment process, pavement 
treatments and current conditions. The reports 
are available on the city’s website.
Street Pavement and Overlays
In FY 2022, the T2050 program financed a 
substantial amount of pavement maintenance 
and replacement across the city. A total of 18.7 
miles of new asphalt pavement was placed 
on major city streets, totaling 225.6 miles of 
new paving since the program began. Another 
120.6 miles of crack and fog sealing (pavement 
preservation that maintains the roadway until it 
requires replacement) was performed on major 
streets, with a cumulative total of 669.5 miles. 
Local (residential) streets saw 38.3 miles of 
new paving in FY22, for a total of 427 miles 
from the start of the program. Local streets 
also saw significant crack and fog sealing, with 
297.2 miles included, totaling 2,063.4 miles 
completed since the program began.

Active Transportation Program 
The Active Transportation Program (ATP) 
strives to connect, improve and expand 
the city’s pedestrian and bicycle network. 
Active transportation and transit are highly 
interconnected because users depend on active 
transportation to access light rail, BRT and bus 
routes. 
As the Street Transportation Department repaves 
streets, the ATP identifies opportunities to update 
striping plans to add or widen bike lanes, add 
buffers to existing bike lanes and add markings 
in the intersections on major bikeways. Buffered 
bike lanes and protected bike lanes create more 
space between sidewalks and vehicle travel 
lanes, improving the walking experience.
The ATP also coordinates with other teams to 
support multi-use paths and street crossings. 
Projects along canals and other off-street trails 
strengthen the active transportation network and 
create a better quality of life for everyone. 
The Active Transportation Plan, which includes 
a Bicycle Master Plan update, launched its 
public outreach process in fall 2021 to find out 
residents’ priorities for enhancing the active 
transportation network.
With that in mind, FY22 saw extensive increases 
to the city’s bike network, adding 35.4 miles of 
new bike lanes, which is 4.5 miles more than 
the target goal of 30.9 miles. In addition, the 
ATP made a number of safety improvements to 
the existing bike lanes, adding either buffers or 
vertical protection:  
	• Protected bike lanes – 2.2 miles  
(A protected bike lane has a vertical 
element added to it, such as flexible lane 
delineators or a concrete curb, sometimes 
with a painted buffer.) 
A protected bike lane reduces conflicts 
between bicycles and vehicles by providing 
physical separation between people biking and 
people driving. 
	- 1 mile of protection was added to existing 
bike lanes.
	- 1.2 miles of protection was added to new 
bike lanes.
	• Buffers – 49.5 miles (A buffered bike lane 
has striping added to the pavement that 
alerts drivers and riders to the bike lane 
boundaries.)
	- 26.5 miles of buffers added to existing 
bike lanes.
	- 23 miles of buffers added to new bike 
lanes.
While updating the bikeway data structure, staff 
discovered an administrative error that resulted in 
an overcount of 26.9 bike lane miles. Despite the 
counting issues, Street Transportation remains 
ahead of the target of 30.9 bike lane miles per 
year. Staff verified all bikeway data using aerial 
photography and Google Streetview. Results 
were presented to the CTC in April 2022, along 
with a plan to install an additional 26.9 bike lane 
miles over the next three years
Mobility Studies
The Street Transportation Department 
conducts mobility studies to identify barriers 
for pedestrians and bicyclists as they travel to 
neighborhood destinations. Phoenix identified 
39 locations for study at the inception of T2050 
and has completed 12 studies so far.
To improve safety, convenience and quality 
of life, the studies’ recommendations have 
included opportunities for constructing new 
sidewalks, installing or improving ADA curb 
ramps and installing streetlights, bicycle 
facilities, traffic signals, shade trees and 
connections to transit stops. 
In FY22 we installed 54 Mobility ramps in 
partnership with the Neighborhood Services 
Department and their Community Development 
Block Grant (CDBG) funding.
In FY 2023, the Street Transportation 
Department will again partner with the 
Neighborhood Services Department to use 
Phoenix’s federal Community Development 
Block Grant to install at least 305 ADA mobility 
ramps recommended by the mobility studies.
Construction crews are installing hundreds of 
ADA curb ramps throughout the city, eliminating 
barriers to mobility for people with disabilities.

Intersection and Technology 
Enhancements
Phoenix uses a variety of technology 
enhancements, ranging from rapid flashing 
beacons and enhanced illumination to 
installing High-intensity Activated crosswalks 
(HAWKs). Other T2050 technology 
enhancements include improving and 
maintaining traffic control equipment, adding 
left-turn arrows at warranted intersections, 
replacing street name signs with retroreflective 
signs that feature light-emitting diode (LED) 
lighting and installing updated signals, signage, 
detection equipment and traffic management 
and monitoring systems.
The City, as part of a continuing transportation 
management program, is expanding the 
communication fiber backbone system to 
allow for remote monitoring, control and 
traffic signal optimization. The FY 2022 Indian 
School Road fiber enhancement project 
installed 12.5 miles of fiber optic infrastructure 
and cable to the western limits of the City of 
Phoenix and through a portion of the City of 
Glendale. The project provided connections 
between the Maricopa County Department of 
Transportation, the City of Glendale and the 
City of Phoenix. The FY 2023 Baseline Road 
fiber optic cable and equipment project will 
also install 13 miles of fiber optic infrastructure 
and cable along Baseline Road from South 
Mountain freeway (loop 202 ) to Interstate 10. 
This project will provide connections between 
the Arizona Department of Transportation, 
the City of Tempe and the City of Phoenix for 
remote monitoring, control and traffic signal 
optimization along the corridor.
Traffic Management Center (TMC) can better 
monitor traffic with cameras that send full 
streaming video back to the TMC. In addition, 
intelligent devices installed at intersections 
transmit traffic performance metrics to the 
TMC, allowing the TMC to adjust traffic signal 
timing to improve traffic flow and better 
serve the public. Similarly, the expanded fiber 
backbone provides for improved, integrated 
connections between stations for emergency 
responders such as fire and police.
Integration of new fiber optic lines to assist
traffic safety and operations.
Sensors installed at intersections transmit traffic 
performance metrics, allowing the TMC to adjust 
traffic signals and reduce congestion.

Information Technology and GIS
The Street Transportation Department 
digitizes, validates and reports on assets. The 
department uses GIS technology to catalogue 
location data and maintenance records on 
bikeways, pavement, lighted street signs and 
ADA curb ramps. Ultimately, the data allow for 
more efficient planning, analysis and reporting. 
Recent improvements in these processes have 
included: 
	• Creating field staff applications for 
reporting condition and improvement 
needs related to assets such as traffic 
signals, pavement, curb ramps, sidewalks 
and streetlights.
	• Improving the accuracy, usefulness and 
availability of existing traffic signal data for 
the entire department.
	• Leveraging pavement condition data, with 
underlying soil condition data, to provide 
engineers with a broader understanding of 
problematic areas.
	• Using data sources from the city, county 
and Arizona State University to identify and 
map tree and shade prioritization areas.
	• Updating bikeways, Key Corridors Master 
Plan and Mobility Studies data to give 
the ATP team accurate information for 
planning and implementing improvements. 
	• Researching and editing thousands of 
ADA ramp records to build and update the 
database.
Internal and external applications allow staff 
and, in many cases, residents to access 
map services and applications with this GIS 
information. Some of these include a live active 
HAWK traffic signal web map, the pavement 
maintenance dashboard, bikeways map 
services and e-scooter facilities mapping. 
As staff members in the field make live 
updates, the accumulated data and analysis 
tools provide for a more efficient workflow and 
near-real-time analysis and reporting.
Public facing interactive pavement maintenance 
dashboard provides mapping, information and 
schedules for planned pavement treatments 
across the City.

Lifecycle Programming Assumptions 
As with any long-term plan, preparation of the financial model for the T2050 program required 
many assumptions for estimated costs, revenues and timing of projects and new services. Key 
assumptions of the T2050 program include: 
	• The implementation of projects and new 
services is projected to occur over the 
course of the 35-year plan as funding 
allows and service demand dictates. 
	• Capital and operating costs are estimated 
to grow at average inflation rates of 3–4% 
annually over the life of the plan. These 
inflation rates are somewhat higher than 
the typical annual increases the city has 
experienced in the large transit contracts, 
and provide for more conservative cost 
estimates.
	• T2050 sales tax revenues are estimated to 
grow at an average annual rate of 4.75%, 
which is slightly lower than the 5.2% 
average annual growth rate in the Arizona 
Department of Transportation’s most 
recent forecast prepared in September 
2020 for the Proposition 400 Maricopa 
County Transportation Excise Tax. 
	• The existing 0.5% Proposition 400 regional 
tax, currently in place through Dec. 31, 
2025, is assumed to be extended for at 
least 20 years. 
	• Federal transit formula funds are assumed 
to continue through the life of the plan, with 
very modest increases over time, and are 
consistent with MAG’s long-term Regional 
Transportation Plan.
	• The financial model is consistent with 
Valley Metro assumptions, ranging from 
0% to 39%, for the funding level from 
discretionary federal Capital Investment 
Grants for light rail capital costs. 
Discretionary federal Capital Investment 
Grants, on average, fund more than 40% of 
total project costs for current rail projects 
across the country. 
	• Transit fares are assumed to continue to 
be lower than the regional fare policy goal 
of 25% recovery of direct transit operations 
costs, reflecting the current fare recovery 
rate. Decreased fare revenues due to 
the COVID-19 pandemic are assumed to 
recover very slowly over 20 years.
	• Some capital funding is assumed to be 
provided through financing, as needed, 
with the corresponding costs estimated 
using typical municipal bond offerings. 
Less expensive and more flexible types 
of financing will be explored to minimize 
financing costs. 
	• Other revenues, such as transit advertising 
and interest earnings on fund balance, are 
forecasted using very low growth rates. 
	• An operating reserve equivalent to 15% 
of annual public transit operating costs is 
assumed to be maintained throughout the 
life of the plan.
As rates of Covid-19 infections declined fare 
revenues began to recover, though are still below 
2019 levels.
Impact of COVID-19
Phoenix had expected that the global 
pandemic, which began in 2020 as a result of 
the contagious COVID-19 virus, would reduce 
revenue projections for the coming years 
because ridership numbers fell significantly 
in 2020. However, there were some economic 
drivers that had a positive impact on revenue 
projection, which city leaders continue to 
monitor.
This report notes the changes experienced due 
to the pandemic within each program area.
