Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, average daily traffic volumes throughout Maricopa county are lower than usual. Taking noise measurements during this pandemic is not representative of typical traffic noise levels. ADOT is planning to resume field noise testing in late summer/early fall 2020 and in late February/early March 2021. Beyond that, ADOT will continue testing noise levels throughout the 22-mile corridor regularly in select locations. Schedules are subject to change because of the pandemic and other unforeseen situations.

“Fully operational” means that the monitoring systems and overall conditions on the freeway are conducive to continuous, uninterrupted, and free-flow traffic operations, and that the traffic volumes are aligned with the levels predicted by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) travel demand model for the year 2020.

ADOT is conducting noise measurements in compliance with the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the South Mountain Freeway. Further, ADOT will evaluate the common noise environment within the project area after the freeway is “fully operational.”

An email from the IISP to notify us and then update it on the monthly report marking changes the first month in Red. After the first month, the report can reflect black font color again.

• Report all installs that were done in Arizona (Arizona compliant) and/or for Arizona requirements, regardless of the reporting agency.
  • We don't want those installed in AZ reporting to say... Texas. These devices probably will not be compliant with AZ since the other state has different requirements and settings.
  • If they have an AZ requirement, installed in another state, report it.
    • If for some reason they are compliant with AZ, installed in another stated and don’t have an AZ requirement and don’t live in AZ, don’t report them.

An early recall would be for tampering, circumvention, or any time the device detects a malfunction. The lockout would occur at the conclusion of the 72 hour period once the device has entered into an early recall.

Compliance checks are electronic reports that do not require the customer to return to a service center. Compliance checks are to be sent at 30 and 60 days after the customers interlock requirement has begun. This is needed for deferment eligibility. Please refer to your Amended Guidelines for Ignition Interlock Manufacturers Electronic Reporting.

Civil Penalties are outlined in R17-5-616 and may be imposed for improper reporting that erroneously initiate corrective action against a person.

This should be reported no sooner than 30 days after their 90 day calibration appointment. At this point, the customer’s driver’s license would be suspended for non-compliance if they have not reinstalled with another provider.

Once the manufacturer or IISP recognizes that the device is not reporting, they should reach out to the customer to ensure the device is working properly. If needed, recall the customer if device is malfunctioning.
