Introduction:

The principal focus of the proposed study is to update the 1998 San Luis Circulation Study. Significant population growth and economic development in the San Luis area requires new comprehensive planning to address growing demands placed on local roads and streets. In addition, this growth and development calls for an examination of transit needs and opportunities.

The major product of the study will be a final report which contains a plan for improvements over five- and ten-year periods, and a long-range transportation plan incorporating both roadway and transit elements. The study area includes the corporate limits of San Luis and the neighboring unincorporated portions of Yuma County.

Purpose of the Study:

The City of San Luis Small Area Transportation Study (SATS) is a joint effort of the City of San Luis and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The purpose of this study is to develop a multimodal transportation plan that outlines the City’s transportation priority projects. The transportation plan will sketch out a path to help the City achieve its vision and goals for a future transportation system in a manner that is closely aligned with the lifestyle and the values of the community. Additionally, it will address the City of San Luis mobility needs for the future population, commercial growth, the transportation needs due to the opening of the new San Luis Commercial Port of Entry II, and the reconfiguration of the original San Luis Port of Entry I.
