Abstract:The Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT’s) vision is for the State “to become the most reliable transportation system in the Nation.” In support of its vision, ADOT’s first strategic priority is to implement effective safety countermeasures to promote safe road user behaviors and reduce roadway crashes in high-risk areas. ADOT has a strong focus on operations and engineering improvements that will result in greater road safety and travel time reliability. Recognizing the connection between safety and operations, ADOT has placed its safety and operations functions within its Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) Division. The TSMO Division furthers the goals of safety and operations by ensuring the safety and mobility objectives are prioritized in all the TSMO Division units, including traffic management, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), advanced technology, traffic operations, and safety. ADOT uses its organizational structure, data, plans, project development, and the implementation of operations strategies to coordinate safety and operations. ADOT also maintains a strong working relationship with the metropolitan planning organization for the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). MAG has developed its own safety and operations plans and connects those disciplines through planning and project selection. MAG member agencies bring together operations and safety with their transportation solutions.
