Nah, not really a big deal. The transportation world has handled it just fine
for Arizona, and previously, Indiana.
Heck, here’s where it gets real confusing.
Arizona does not observe DST as a state. However, freight railroads in Arizona
DO. At least BNSF Railway does. So for a good chunk of the year, if you are
involved with the railroad, you have to clarify if events are happening at 8
a.m. city time or 8 a.m. railroad time.
At least that’s how it was last time I was down there as a railroad contractor.

Arizona time is supposedly MST all year but it is not consistent. The
Indian nations adopt their own rules whether to use DST or not. Example:
the Navajo nations uses DST but Hopi nation doesn't. You can plot a
trip from east to west across AZ and have to change your clock seven times!
