Your Opinion Our Future

This is your chance to shape the future of transportation in this region. The Maricopa Association of Governments is working on the next long-range transportation plan. We are asking you to help MAG create a regional plan that is based on the priorities and values of real residents.  Will you help?

The results will be used to help develop plans for future roads, freeways, public transit, bike and pedestrian improvements.

The online survey will take approximately 10 minutes. Give MAG your time, and they will give you a chance to win raffle prizes ranging from $100 gift cards to personal electronics, or even a $1,000 grand prize!
