AZ Department Of Transportation To Make Improvement Plans On A Decreased Budget

The Arizona Department of Transportation says it will be working with $350-million less as it maps out construction projects for the next five years. 

The department says the decreased funding is due to stagnant revenue from gas and vehicle license taxes, and declining federal aid. 

The public can begin submitting comments on three scenarios Friday.  One focuses on preserving the state's highway system, another focuses on major projects, and the third is a combination of those two.
