As Mesa continues to grow and evolve, now is the time to review our current transportation system and develop a plan to ensure an efficient, accessible, safe, and well-connected network for all users. The Mesa Transportation Master Plan will develop a 25-year vision for the city's multimodal transportation network and will consider the needs of people who walk, bike, use a mobility device, use public transportation, drive, and deliver goods and services throughout Mesa.

The development of the Transportation Master Plan starts with reviewing the current transportation system and developing a vision for what the City's transportation system should look like in the future. The Transportation Master Plan reviews best practices and considers emerging trends to identify gaps in the system and future travel needs. As part of this planning process we will:

• Explore how to develop transportation networks for all users – drivers, transit riders, freight drivers, trail users, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

• Predict how well the transportation system will work in the future and suggest improvements.

• Examine and rethink the design of our streets to prioritize moving people and goods more efficiently and safely. 

• Establish goals and policies to guide decision-making. 

• Develop recommendations to address long-term and short-term, critical transportation needs.

The Transportation Master Plan will focus primarily on improvements to the transportation system within the City of Mesa. There will be considerations made, however, to advancing transportation options and connectivity to neighboring communities, as well as regional traffic impacts.
