- Much of the travel between Phoenix and Las Vegas takes place on this route now
- Long term demand for the route is primarily driven by future freight demands as well as competition and economic diversification for Arizona and Nevada
- ADOT has made clear that funding separate from current revenue streams will be needed to deliver I-11
FMPO staff has asked for clarification on the following:
