Change is on the horizon for the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) in Scottsdale between Princess Drive/Pima Road to Shea Boulevard! Do you drive the area often? 🚧🏗️🚘️ Expect additional lanes, upgraded lighting and sidewalks, and reconfigured interchanges coming your way! This is #Prop400 working hard for you!

Litter on the roads doesn’t just look ugly – it also poses serious safety risks and financial costs for Arizonans. You can make a difference by properly disposing of waste while on the go. Head to DontTrashAZ.org and request a FREE travel litter bag for your car. Let’s work together to keep Arizona beautiful. 🌵 🗑️ #DontTrashAZ

We love this time of the year with cooler weather and the fall leaves just as much as you do! Help us keep our air clean and our skies clear by checking if today is a “NO BURN DAY.” Maricopa County issues alerts when woodburning restrictions are in place. Head to maricopa.gov/AirQuality to check before you burn any wood.

It’s official! Both the westbound and eastbound Collector-Distributor (CD) roads that are part of the #Prop400 funded I-10 Broadway Curve Project are now open! CD roads help keep traffic flowing on the freeway by separating through-traffic from local traffic, minimizing lane weaving between exits, and preventing slowdowns during rush hour. This milestone marks another important progress in the completion of this major #Prop400 investment in our region. Learn how to find your lane at I10BroadwayCurve.com Photos by ADOT

MAG and its member agencies care about safety and the well-being of our community. That’s why every year we work hard to organize the Annual Crossing Guard Training to help provide crucial resources and information for the men and women who keep our children safe when going to and coming back from school. 🎒🏫🛑📚️ This past year, we had over 240 crossing guards from all over the MAG region attend the training provided in both English and Spanish. We thank the cities of Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix, Mesa, Peoria, Glendale, Gilbert, and Surprise for supporting this effort with their staff and time to make this possible!

Wishing you all a harvest of happiness this #Thanksgiving holiday! 🦃✨ We’re thankful for the chance to work alongside our member agencies to create a vibrant future for the MAG region!

#Prop400atWork The recently upgraded intersection at Southern Avenue and Stapley Drive in Mesa was designed to increase safety. With an average of 60,000 vehicles passing through daily, these enhancements—raised medians and improved left-turn lanes—aim to reduce crashes and congestion. Thanks to funding from #Proposition400, this project was a vital step towards safer and more efficient travel for everyone in the area. Let’s keep our roads safe and you moving! Together, we’re building a better-connected Valley!

Today, MAG joined Governor Katie Hobbs, elected officials and business leaders for a celebration of the passage of Proposition 479, a 20-year extension of the dedicated half-cent sales tax for transportation. Passed with overwhelming support by Maricopa County voters on November 5, 2024, #Prop479 will help fund critical transportation infrastructure in the MAG region, including freeway, arterial streets, and transit projects that will fuel economic prosperity and sustain our quality of life for a generation to come. We thank Maricopa County voters, Governor Katie Hobbs, the Arizona Legislature, and the leaders from our 32 member agencies for their support in investing in transportation infrastructure for the next 20 years.
