Interview with Audra Koester Thomas: Proposition 400E
In this week’s episode, Audra Koester Thomas, Transportation Planning Program Manager at the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), shares insights of the challenges and progress of formulating the plan for Proposition 400E. Audra and her team have spent the last two years supporting the region’s mayors and member agencies in developing a plan that balances the need for specificity and flexibility with accommodating the rapid growth and emerging technology of transportation for the Valley. MAG is in the home stretch of gathering public input regarding that plan and will be carrying it forward, with final comments, later this year. Audra shares what is included, what was left out (for now), and how they’ve crafted the plan to take advantage of future funding opportunities and new programs from Washington.
