What is the Complete Streets Coordinating Council?

In May 2022, the voters of Tucson approved Proposition 411, now known as Better Streets | Safe Streets, which extended the City of Tucson's existing ½-cent sales tax and dedicated the funding to citywide transportation improvements. Mayor and Council designated the Complete Streets Coordinating Council (CSCC) as the public oversight body of the safety funds. The CSCC is composed of 20 Tucsonans who review transportation projects, help prioritize transportation investments, and provide public oversight over complete streets implementation.
