    Metadata Updated: February 7, 2026

     

    The Engineering and Transportation Department operates a robust graffiti abatement program. Its strategic approach includes proactive abatement through directed patrols across the City.

    Tempe performs a yearly survey to identify the number of tags within the City of Tempe. The survey is conducted along several roads from city limit to city limit by the City of Tempe Transportation Maintenance. The average number of tags per mile is calculated to assess graffiti abatement impact and efficacy.

    This page provides data for the Graffiti Removal performance measure. 

    Summary of annual graffiti survey showing overall average graffiti tags per mile of surveyed road segments.
