Ariz. Admin. Code § R18-2-1406 - Content of Transportation Plans
A.
For transportation plans adopted after January 1, 1995, in serious, severe, or
extreme ozone nonattainment areas and in serious carbon monoxide nonattainment
areas, the following shall apply:
1. The
transportation plan shall specifically describe the transportation system
envisioned for certain future years which shall be called horizon
years.
2. The agency or
organization developing the transportation plan, after consultation pursuant to
R18-2-1405, may choose any years
to be horizon years, subject to the following restrictions:
a. Horizon years may be no more than 10 years
apart.
b. The first horizon year
may be no more than 10 years from the base year used to validate the
transportation demand planning model.
c. If the attainment year is in the time span
of the transportation plan, the attainment year shall be a horizon
year.
d. The last horizon year
shall be the last year of the transportation plan's forecast period.
3. For these horizon years all of
the following apply:
a. The transportation
plan shall quantify and document the demographic and employment factors
influencing expected transportation demand, including land-use forecasts, in
accordance with implementation plan provisions and
R18-2-1405.
b. The highway and transit system shall be
described in terms of the regionally significant additions or modifications to
the existing transportation network which the transportation plan envisions to
be operational in the horizon years. Additions and modifications to the highway
network shall be sufficiently identified to indicate intersections with
existing regionally significant facilities and to determine their effect on
route options between transportation analysis zones. Each added or modified
highway segment shall also be sufficiently identified in terms of its design
concept and design scope to allow modeling of travel times under various
traffic volumes, consistent with the modeling methods for area-wide
transportation analysis in use by the MPO. Transit facilities, equipment, and
services envisioned for the future shall be identified in terms of design
concept, design scope, and operating policies sufficiently to allow modeling of
their transit ridership. The description of additions and modifications to the
transportation network shall also be sufficiently specific to show that there
is a reasonable relationship between expected land use and the envisioned
transportation system.
c. Other
future transportation policies, requirements, services, and activities,
including intermodal activities, shall be described.
B. Ozone or CO nonattainment areas
which are reclassified from moderate to serious shall meet the requirements of
subsection (A) within two years from the date of reclassification.
C. Transportation plans for other areas shall
meet the requirements of subsection (A) at least to the extent it has been the
previous practice of the MPO to prepare plans which meet those requirements.
Otherwise, transportation plans shall describe the transportation system
envisioned for the future specifically enough to allow determination of
conformity according to the criteria and procedures of
R18-2-1409 through
R18-2-1427.
D. The requirements of this Section
supplement other requirements of applicable law or regulation governing the
format or content of transportation plans.
