Arizona Active Transportation Safety Action Plan (2024)

The Arizona Active Transportation Safety Action Plan (ATSAP) is a statewide initiative to improve safety for active transportation users in the state of Arizona. Active transportation is defined as any non-motorized mode of transportation, typically people walking and people riding bicycles. The ATSAP applies to the State Highway System (SHS) owned or operated by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).  The ATSAP was simultaneously developed with ADOT’s 2024 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), resulting in significant coordination between the two efforts, including combined public and stakeholder engagement efforts. The ATSAP and SHSP will work together to improve roadway safety throughout Arizona. The ATSAP establishes goals and recommendations to increase safety for people walking or riding bicycles throughout the SHS.

Through crash data analysis and stakeholder and public involvement engagement,the ATSAP offers policy recommendations as well as a list of 26 priority locations (PL) with planning-level cost estimates and recommended countermeasures for each PL.
