State Route 30 Active Transportation Conceptual Plan

MAG in partnership with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) have been studying a proposed freeway in the Southwest Valley known as State Route 30 (Tres Rios Freeway). SR 30 would initially connect Loop 202 to Loop 303 and serve as an alternate route to Interstate 10 and traverses through the cities of Goodyear, Avondale, and Phoenix. The project spans about 13 miles and roughly follows the Rio Salado and the Lower Gila River. It would connect to the future Loop 303 freeway near the intersection of Lower Buckeye Road and Cotton Lane, and to the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway near Broadway Road.

MAG is seeking input to help develop a vision for alternative transportation options along the future SR 30. Survey results will help inform development of a vision and conceptual plans for an active transportation facility alongside SR 30.

State Route 30 Active Transportation Survey #2

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is seeking your input to help develop a preferred concept for an active transportation facility along the future State Route (SR) 30 freeway. This survey is anonymous and will take you approximately 12 minutes to complete. Results from this survey will inform the selection of a preferred concept. The survey will close on December 12, 2022.

The survey is closed.
