The mission of the Arizona Transportation Policy Summit is to educate and inform state legislators and local elected officials on rural, state, and federal transportation policy needs. Our goal is to build long-term relationships and create advocates for transportation policies throughout the state. The 2026 Summit is intended to be action-oriented, teaching local elected officials and staff how to tell their transportation funding needs story and then connecting them with members of the Arizona legislature to talk about real solutions to funding shortfalls. Our attendees and sponsors share a vision and commitment to an integrated multi-modal transportation system serving all Arizonans and bolstering the economy. The Summit provides the opportunity to make a positive impact on transportation policy decisions throughout Arizona.
What’s in a Name?
After celebrating 25 years of the Arizona Rural Transportation Summit, the event is now the Arizona Transportation Policy Summit. This change better reflects the summit’s true scope—transportation policy that impacts communities across the entire state. While rural transportation remains a key focus, the new name acknowledges the broad, statewide importance of the conversations and collaborations that take place during this annual event.
