Updated annually, the transportation program identifies potential funding and establishes a tentative schedule for countywide planning, construction, and maintenance projects. After the public comment period, the program will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for final approval in August.

By unanimous vote, the Transportation Advisory Committee approved the draft program in February. The committee is a 10-member panel that is appointed by the Board of Supervisors to annually review, update, and recommend the program of transportation projects. The committee’s recommendation is a culmination of a six-month planning cycle that included three public meetings, the evaluation of 40 transportation project requests, along with hearing and reviewing extensive public comment.

The committee recommended 16 new transportation projects for Budget Year 2018-2019 that address the program goals of improving safety, increasing paved mileage, and minimizing dust within the county’s transportation network.

Transportation Advisory Committee meetings for the next planning cycle are scheduled as follows:

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Tuesday, November 17, 2015

Tuesday, February 23, 2016

The meetings begin at 2:30 PM and are held in the Ironwood Room of the 1891 Historic Courthouse (Pinal County Administrative Complex), 135 Pinal Street in Florence.

For additional information on the county’s transportation program, please contact Kathy Borquez at kathy.borquez@pinalcountyaz.gov or 520-866-6406.
