Have you ever wondered how busy Tucson-area streets are? If so, Pima Association of Governments (PAG) has the information you’re looking for.
PAG works with our partner jurisdictions to collect traffic data from across the Tucson metro area at hundreds of intersections and roadways for our Traffic Data program. This data allows us to determine the average daily usage of roadways across the region.
The data we collect is compiled on a searchable public database where users can review traffic counts for a single direction or two-way traffic at intersections and roadway segments throughout the region. It’s also possible to view traffic in select areas at intervals throughout the day.
While the traffic data is interesting for the casual observer to view, there are important practical applications for the information among transportation engineers, regional planners, and private sector developers, who rely on the data to make decisions about future development.
The traffic data also aids state and federal leaders who use population and demographic data in making decisions about the allocation of state and federal funds. The same is true for regional, state and federal air quality experts, who use the data to monitor traffic-related pollutants and conformance with air quality standards.
