Parkways, Historic and Scenic Roads Advisory Committee

The process for consideration of a road can be initiated by any interested group or individual by requesting designation to the Parkways, Historic and Scenic Roads Advisory Committee (PHSRAC). The advisory committee is comprised of eleven members, including six citizen appointees by the governor, and one each from the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona State Parks Board, the Arizona Historical Society, and the Arizona Office of Tourism and Tourism Advisory Council.

The PHSRAC reviews, prioritizes and evaluates the requests based on the established criteria and the quality of resources. Recommendations are then made to the Arizona Transportation Board for the designation of favorable routes. Development guidelines are compiled as recommendations for the enhancement and preservation of the route. Designated routes also may be reviewed and significant changes may require deletion of a designation to maintain the integrity of the program.
