As in any large and diverse metropolitan area, the mobility provided by the transportation system in the Phoenix metropolitan area is critical to its commercial well being and general quality of life. In order to preserve the level of mobility which is currently enjoyed, local and state transportation agencies are concentrating their resources in two areas, construction of added roadway capacity, and improvement in the operation of all components of the transportation system to maximize efficiency and productivity. This latter effort is being enhanced as advancements in data processing, communications, and sensing are being applied to surface transportation. The push to begin to incorporate advanced technologies to surface transportation is being led nationally by the Federal Highway Administration which is encouraging metropolitan areas to develop strategic plans for the eventual deployment of these advanced technologies to create Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In response, the Maricopa County Department of Transportation, with support from a coalition of local and state transportation agencies and private transportation providers, has completed a twelve-month study to develop a strategic ITS deployment plan for the region.
