ABOUT US

About MAGThe Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is a Council of Governments (COG) that serves as the regional agency for the metropolitan Phoenix area.

MAG is also the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for regional planning in the Maricopa region.

MAG provides regional planning and policy decisions in areas of transportation, air quality, water quality, regional development, and human services. When MAG was formed in 1967, local elected officials recognized the need for long range planning and policy development on a regional scale. They realized that many issues such as transportation and air quality affected residents beyond the borders of their individual jurisdictions.

MAG was founded in the spirit of cooperation. MAG members believe that by uniting, they can solve common problems, take an active role in long range regional issues and address concerns that affect all of the communities.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Message from MAG Chair

MAG Chair, Mayor James M. Cavanaugh

Thank you for visiting the Maricopa Association of Governments' Web site. I know you will find this site a useful resource for information about MAG and its member agencies.

It is with a sense of excitement that I take over the reins as Chair of the MAG organization. It is an honor to be associated with mayors and other officials from our broadly based area who have distinguished themselves not only within their respective communities but also as leaders targeted on achievements that bear regional value.

Over the next two years, we will continue the emphasis on excellence reflected in the leadership philosophies that precede us. As these upcoming two years pass, we will note that the challenges will change in difficulty and in size, the scope will expand in some areas, contract in others. But the drive to excel will continue and the need to adapt to new regional priorities will remain a challenge -- a dynamic challenge -- to all of us.

Regionally, a major focus in the months ahead will be in implementing the Regional Transportation Plan. At the same time, we will also keep our eye on the bigger picture and the significant challenges that Arizona faces in addressing statewide transportation needs.

Regionalism functions through teamwork. I'm confident that together in MAG we will continue to capitalize on the opportunity afforded us in this era of dramatic growth, and derive quality and value from our cooperative endeavors.

As elected officials at MAG, transportation often receives our greatest attention, but human services and air quality are equally important and every bit as challenging. All of our responsibilities are important, our jobs exciting. I'm proud to be a member of the MAG team.

 

Mensaje del Presidente del Concejo Regional MAG
Alcalde James M. Cavanaugh

Gracias por visitar el sitio Internet de la Asociación de Gobiernos Maricopa. Yo sé que encontrarán que este sitio es un recurso valioso para información acerca de MAG y sus agencias miembros.

Es con un sentido de entusiasmo que tomo las riendas como Presidente de la organización MAG. Es un honor estar asociado con los alcaldes y otros funcionarios de nuestra amplia área quienes se han distinguido no sólo dentro de sus respectivas comunidades sino también como líderes comprometidos a logros que demuestran valor regional.

En mi tiempo como presidente, continuaremos el enfoque sobre excelencia reflejado en las filosofías de los líderes anteriores. Al pasar este tiempo, veremos que los desafíos cambiarán en dificultad y tamaño, el panorama crecerá en algunas áreas, será reducido en otras. Pero el impulso a la excelencia seguirá y la necesidad de adaptarnos a nuevas prioridades regionales seguirá siendo un reto-un desafío dinámico-para todos nosotros.

Regionalmente, enfoque mayor en el cercano futuro será la implementación del Plan Regional de Transporte. A la misma vez, también mantendremos la vista en el panorama más grande y los retos significantes que Arizona enfrenta por las necesidades estatales en transporte.

El regionalismo funciona trabajando todos juntos. Confío en que juntos en MAG seguiremos tomando ventaja de la oportunidad que se nos presenta en el área de dramático crecimiento, y ganaremos calidad y valor de nuestros esfuerzos cooperativos.

Como oficiales elegidos en MAG, el transporte muy seguido ocupa nuestra mayor atención, pero servicios humanos y la calidad del aire son igualmente importantes e igualmente desafiantes. Todas nuestras responsabilidades son importantes, nuestros trabajos excitantes. Tengo mucho orgullo de ser un miembro del equipo MAG.
