Traffic Engineering NTMP

Basic Program Procedures

1) Call 740-2853 or request a NTMP information packet. The initial packet contains information about the program, traffic calming, and costs to the neighborhood.

2) After reviewing the initial packet, meet with your neighbors and discuss the information provided. The whole neighborhood must be involved.

3) Call Traffic Engineering at 740-2853 to set up an initial neighborhood meeting. At this meeting, the NTMP will be explained in detail.

4) To proceed, circulate petitions given out after the first meeting. At least 60% of the property owners in the traffic input benefit area must show an interest. Send the completed petitions to Pima County Department of Transportation (PCDOT). The petitions will be verified and then your neighborhood will be included in the NTMP.

5) The data collection phase will then be scheduled. This phase involves taking traffic volumes and traffic speeds, and a general review of the area.

6) Results of the data that was collected will be discussed at a second meeting. Several alternatives will be presented. These options may include traffic circles, speed humps, or other traffic calming devices.

7) The neighborhood committee will select a plan. The plan will be approved by the Deputy Director of PCDOT. A petition will be circulated requiring approval of 60% of the property owners. This petition will be validated by PCDOT.

8) Construction of the project will then be scheduled. The neighborhood will pay the contractor when the project is completed.
