SR 264 Corridor Planning Study (in partnership with the Hopi Tribe)
SR 264 Corridor Planning Study (in partnership with the Hopi Tribe)
Contents
Project Overview
The State Route (SR) 264 corridor in northeast Arizona serves as a major highway for the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation, which includes several population centers such as Moenkopi, Third Mesa, Kykotsmovi, Second Mesa, First Mesa, Keams Canyon, and Jeddito. The corridor provides access to essential services, schools, and employment opportunities. In recent years, the Arizona State Transportation Board and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Northeast District have received concerns about traffic and multimodal safety along the corridor from Hopi Tribal officials and Tribal community members. The ADOT SR 264 Corridor Planning Study will assess the corridor from Moenkopi, at Milepost 321.97, to the Navajo-Apache County boundary, at Milepost 417.58.

Study Process
The SR 264 Corridor Planning Study will develop strategic countermeasures to improve safety and access along the corridor. The Study has six primary objectives:
- Assess Existing Conditions.
- Compile Historical Crash Data.
- Perform Road Safety Audits (RSAs).
- Develop And Prioritize Alternatives.
- Identify Funding Opportunities.
- Strengthen the relationship between ADOT, the Hopi Tribe, the Navajo Nation, Northern Arizona Council Of Governments, Coconino County, Navajo County, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
ADOT and the Hopi Tribe have made tremendous strides in communication and collaboration, with the Hopi Tribe being one of few tribes to have regular Partnership meetings.
Project Schedule
Public Involvement
ADOT is seeking input from a wide variety of stakeholders and the public at-large to be used as input in the development of the SR 264 Corridor Planning Study at several points throughout the planning process. During the study, the public will be given opportunities to express their opinions through two primary methods.
Public Information Meetings
- Two rounds of public information meetings will be held in Moenkopi and Kykotsmovi to allow community members to learn about the project and provide feedback.
- The public information meetings will be advertised a minimum of one month before targeted outreach events.
Project Contact Information
- The project contact information will be provided to the public via advertisement materials and the Stakeholder Outreach Letters. Members of the public can send comments virtually to the project contact information provided.
