Aztech: MC85 - buckeye RD, rural RD, power RD and sossman, in the city of phoenix

The Arizona Department of Transportation received a $1.7 million Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration on September 9, 2022 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The funding will support the Arizona Connected Vehicle Technology Testbed (AZTech) project, which involves procuring, installing, and configuring roadside devices and on-board units on public transit and freight vehicles in the Phoenix area. Specifically, devices will be installed along major corridors like MC-85/Buckeye Road to support connected vehicle applications and upgrade traffic signal controllers at ten intersections. The award will also support developing and integrating a mobility management application. The goal of the larger federal program is to assist states in constructing, preserving, and improving highways.
