The Honorable Jenn Daniels Transportation Policy Committee, Chairman Maricopa Association of Governments 302 N. 1st Avenue, Suite 300 Phoenix, AZ 85003 Dear Mayor Daniels: On August 29, 2018, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) approved consultation on a proposed major amendment to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The proposed amendment is a request from Glendale to delete the Central Glendale Light Rail Extension from the RTP. Under A.R.S. Section 28-6353(E)(2), the Board is required to submit written recommendations concerning this Major Amendment to the MAG Transportation Policy Committee within 30 days receipt of the notice from MAG. After reviewing the proposed Major Amendment, the Board of Supervisors at its September 19, 2018 meeting unanimously passed a recommendation that the Major Amendment be approved. Maricopa County looks forward to continuing our cooperation and consultation on issues affecting the MAG Regional Transportation Plan. We appreciate inclusion of the Board and MCDOT in processes outlined in State law and on committees hosted by our regional transportation partners. Sincerely, Steve Chucri, Chair Maricopa County Board of Supervisors cc. Eric Anderson
