Pima County Road Maintenance Status Categories

The PimaMaps PC Road Maintenance Status map has categories indicating whether road segments are maintained by Pima County or by an other entity. Additionally, the map layer indicates whether road segments are paved or dirt and if they are subject to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).

Tips For Interpreting the Data

• If a roadway is subject to an IGA, review the IGA document itself for the description of maintenance activities, since not all transportation activities are subject to the IGA, e.g. signing, permitting, etc.

• Turn on the Jurisdictions layer group to assist in determining where a road passes in and out of other jurisdictions. E RIVER RD between N ORACLE RD and N SWAN RD is a good example of road passes in and out of another jurisdiction, and where maintenance responsibility can change due to this. Most of these situations are subject to a maintenance IGA.

• Turn on aerial photos (in addition to the Jurisdictions layer group) to assist in determining jurisdictional responsibility for multi-jurisdiction roads. In some cases, a jurisdictional boundary encroaches only partially into road right-of-way (ROW). The aerial photos will provide further indication as to what is actually occurring on the ground. The Parcels layer provides additional visual information of the ROW location.
