Abstract Using Arizona Department of Transportation data, this study examines the distribution of expenditures, revenues and vehicle utilization of Arizona’s state highways from 1986-1998. Three measures are used to evaluate the distribution of highway infrastructure spend over this period: 1) the ratio of revenue generated per vehicle mile, 2) the ratio the number of vehicle miles generated per expenditure dollar, and 3) the revenue dollars generated per expenditure dollar. All counties’ state highway segments, excepting Gila and Maricopa, generated more revenues from highway user taxes than was spent on these state highways during the study period. Because of the enormous capital outlay required for urban freeway construction, there would appear to be a short-term inequity in the expenditure distribution. However, over the long-term, the enormous volumes of traffic carried by the urban system should generate revenues disproportionately and eventually provide a surplus to the system. While this is only one way of evaluating the equity and efficiency of highway investments, it is, nevertheless, a useful addition to other, more traditional methods of analysis. 17. Key Words 18.

    July 8, 2016 Interstate 11 Tier 1 EIS Study Team c/o ADOT Communications 1655 W. Jackson St., MD 126F Phoenix, AZ 85007 RE: Scoping Comments on the Interstate 11 Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement, Nogales to Wickenburg To Whom It May Concern: The Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection appreciates the opportunity to provide scoping comments for the Interstate 11 Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Nogales to Wickenburg. We submit the enclosed comments on behalf of the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, founded in 1998 and comprised of 34 environmental and community groups working in Pima County, Arizona. Our mission is to achieve the long-term conservation of biological diversity and ecological function of the Sonoran Desert through comprehensive land-use planning, with primary emphasis on Pima County’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. We achieve this mission by advocating for: 1) protecting and conserving Pima County’s most biologically rich areas, 2) directing development to appropriate land, and 3) requiring appropriate mitigation for impacts to habitat and wildlife species. In summary, our scoping comments highlight the need for further evaluation of the purpose and need for this project and major environmental impacts that should be considered statewide and particularly in Pima County as this study area is evaluated. Specifically, potential environmental impacts in Pima County include impacts to federal lands such as Saguaro National Park, Ironwood Forest National Monument, and the Bureau of Reclamation’s Central

  • Interstate Methodology and Data Everquote Analyzed Interstate
    Interstate Methodology and Data EverQuote analyzed interstate fatalities using raw data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Analysis Report System from the last six years (2010–2015) and found fatality rates based on the highway lengths. We also compared that to data from EverQuote’s safe-driving app, EverDrive. That data represents over 6 million trips and 80 million miles of driving. Phone use is measured by a driver’s phone motion while driving. While it’s difficult to say for sure what impacts these crashes, there are some commonalities between the most lethal interstates, including high traffic volume, risky driving habits and a lack of distracted driving legislation. Distracted driving fatalities increased 8.8% in 2015 and distraction is believed to be responsible for 10% of all fatal crashes. For the first six months of 2016, traffic fatalities were also up 10.4% compared to the first half of last year. EverDrive data shows that US drivers are distracted by their phones on 31% of all drives: ● 11% of drives have a distraction of one minute or longer while driving in a moving vehicle ● 29% of distractions occur at speeds over 56 mph The average number of times per trip that drivers use their phones nationwide is 1.1. Drivers are, on average, driving .4 miles distracted every 11 miles. You can find that information in our “Confused State of Distracted Driving Report” and Infographic Florida: Three of the most dangerous interstate highways run through the state of Florida (I-4, I-95, I-10). Our EverDrive data found that Florida drivers use their phone on average 1.4 phone uses per trip and the state ranks 2nd worst nationally for phone use while driving.
