Wifi Activity as connected to city-owned access points. Note: only devices that connected to an SSID is listed. Note that SSID @mesa generally reflects WiFi sessions by members of the public (non city employees or city devices). Other devices that may have been in the area but did not connect are not included. Sensitive fields such as device MAC address have been scrambled and are not actual addresses. However, although these have been changed, the uniqueness and mobility of the device has been maintained for listed sessions.

***NOTE: There are problems with data accuracy on bus ridership counts for June 2019, July 2019, and August 2019 as Phoenix and Valley Metro attempt to integrate new hardware with the existing system. For Mesa this is clearly impacting routes 156, 531, and 541, however, there are minor anomalies with some of the other routes.

This dataset contains sales tax revenue for taxpayers within downtown Mesa by posting month. Posting month is the accounting period the City booked the revenues and is used for financial reporting and budgeting purposes. To see a map of downtown Mesa boundaries see the "Source Link" in the 'About this Dataset' section below. Because of taxpayer confidentiality guidelines, a category or business class with fewer than 10 taxpayers is combined with a similar taxpayer category. If after combining there are still less than 10 taxpayers then the category is excluded and associated revenues are posted as "Other". Transient Lodging Tax (TLT) revenues are NOT included in this dataset because there are too few taxpayers in the downtown area to report. For sales tax revenues reflecting consumer activity periods (period when the taxes where collected by businesses), see "Downtown Tax Revenue by Report Month" at https://data.mesaaz.gov/Financials/Downtown-Tax-Revenue-by-Report-Month/258t-7i6w. Sales tax revenue includes Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) and Transient Lodging Tax (TLT). Effective January 2017, the Arizona Department of Revenue administers sales and use tax collection for all state, county and municipal taxing jurisdictions.
