  • Mobility Matters Throughout Our Lives. 2040 Regional Transportation Plan PAG and Regional Transportation Planning PAG and Regional Transportation Planning
    Adopted July 1, 2010 Mobility matters throughout our lives. 2040 Regional Transportation Plan PAG and Regional Transportation Planning PAG and Regional Transportation Planning Pima Association of Governments (PAG) is a nonprofit metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Pima County region. PAG’s planning area covers Pima County, a total area of 9,189 square miles, which is larger than some states. PAG is governed by a nine-member Regional Council with an elected official serving from each member jurisdiction, including the Cities of South Tucson and Tucson, Pima County, the Towns of Marana, Oro Valley and Sahuarita, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, the Tohono O’odham Nation and the Arizona State Transportation Board. PAG’s mission is to help promote good decision making for the region by providing accurate data and encouraging consensus among its members and the public. PAG’s programs focus on cross-jurisdictional planning issues, such as air quality, water quality, population growth and transportation. One of PAG’s primary responsibilities as the MPO is to coordinate the development of the long-range regional transportation plan. This long-range plan represents the work of the regional community; input was provided by all the jurisdictions, many interest group representatives and the public at large. The 2040 RTP presents the collective vision for the transportation network for the next 30 years. PAG provides staff support for the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), a government entity that manages the $2.1 billion, 20-year RTA plan, which was approved by Pima County voters on May 16, 2006. The RTA is governed by a nine-member board, which includes the same representatives who serve on the PAG Regional Council.

    Appendix C 14 CFR PART 150 REVIEW Appendix C 14 CFR Part 150 Review INVENTORY Ryan Airfield INTRODUCTION The purpose of this review is to provide an assessment for the current Noise Compati- bility Study by reexamining the noise and land use conditions at Ryan Airfield and the surrounding area. The information presented in this section will be used to identify existing and future noise-sensitive areas that may be adversely impacted by aircraft noise and to evaluate the current strategies to mitigate or avoid those impacts. The information in this chapter includes: A discussion of the purpose and procedures required to undertake a Noise Compati- bility Program, as described under Title 14, Part 150 of the Code of Federal Regula- tions (CFR) (formerly referred to as F.A.R. Part 150). A description of airport facilities, airspace, and airport operating procedures. A discussion of the roles and responsibilities for each of the entities impacted by aircraft activity from Ryan Airfield. An overview of the land use planning documents and tools applicable within the area surrounding the airport. The information outlined in this appendix was obtained through on-site inspections, interviews with airport staff, airport tenants, and representatives of Pima County Planning, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and the Federal Avia- C-1 tion Administration (FAA). Information was also obtained from available documents concerning the airport and the Tucson area. This review is being prepared concurrently with the Airport Master Plan Update for Ryan Airfield. This provides ample opportunity for the full assessment of potential noise impacts of alternative master planning strategies.
