Transportation

The challenge of Chandler's rapid growth has been met with new roads, freeways, and traffic management solutions. In addition, our municipal airport is one of the busiest in the State and features a growing airpark development that will pay economic dividends for many years to come.

SPECIAL NOTE:
The City has spent the past year updating its Transportation Master Plan and is seeking public comment on the Draft Final Report at a public meeting to be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 3, 2009 in the City Council Chambers located on the second floor of Chandler’s Downtown Library at 22 South Delaware Street. The draft Plan is more comprehensive than prior plans, incorporating transit and bicycle/pedestrian plans that previously were updated independently. Copies of the Draft Plan will be available in City libraries and posted on this site beginning November 23, 2009 (following review by the Chandler Transportation Commission). Citizens are invited to meet with City officials to discuss the Plan’s recommendations for future roadway, bicycle, pedestrian and transit improvements, as well as any topic related to the City’s transportation system. For more information, contact Kurt Krause, Engineering Project Manager, at 480-782-3317.
