Phoenix--Mesa, AZ Urbanized Area Congestion Report

In the line graphs below, FHWA uses Data Collection Year instead of Data Reporting Year to represent snapshot condition/performance at the time the data was collected. More information

The Phoenix--Mesa, AZ Urbanized Area covers parts of Arizona. Targets are agreed upon by several transportation agencies and apply to the entire area.

  • Annual Hours of Peak-Hour Excessive Delay (PHED) Per Capita

    • Trend through 2025

      Desired trend: ↓

      Phoenix--Mesa, AZ Annual Hours of Excessive Delay Per Capita

    Condition/Performance 5.5 -- -- -- --
    Targets -- -- 7.5 -- 8.0

  • Annual Hours of Peak-Hour Excessive Delay (PHED) Per Capita

    (Arizona) The FHWA-provided NPMRDS data and methodology was used as the basis of the calculations. Time series, straight line diagrams were used to project future growth. The effects of the pandemic were considered in the development of targets. The robust population growth in the Phoenix-Mesa UZA was also considered. ADOT and MAG worked closely to develop the unified targets. Many of the projects identified in the attached CMAQ performance plan support congestion reduction and help control the growth in PHED. The targets were approved by the appropriated ADOT management and MAG committees.

  • Non-Single Occupancy Vehicle (Non-SOV) Travel

    (Arizona) ADOT and MAG work closely to identify the Non-SOV targets using time series, straight-line diagrams using census data from the American Community survey and an evaluation of trends affecting commuting including potential long-term changes due to the pandemic. Planned projects including bike and pedestrian facilities, rideshare projects and transit provided context for target selection.
