Our Mission

The department will provide a safe transportation system that ensures the mobility of people and goods, enhances economic prosperity and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.

Why Are We Here Today?

• Unprecedented Growth– Development Accelerating (historical)– Improvement Costs Skyrocketing

• System Impacts– Roadway Congestion Increasing– Levels of Service Decreasing

• Recent New Legal Requirements– Concurrency Management Systems– Proportionate Fair-Share Agreements– Congestion Management Systems

Why Are We Here Today?• Spreading Growth

– Continuing pressure in coastal areas– Increasing pressure in inland areas

• Concurrency Requirements– Potential “push back” from

developers• Transportation Funding Dilemma

– FDOT emphasis on SIS– Increasing needs on entire system

• What else can happen?

A Solution• Cooperation

– State and Local Government working toward a common objective

• Consistency– State and Local Government are

utilizing the same tools for analysis of studies

Eight Different DOT Districts?

• 11 Regional Planning Councils

• 67 Counties

• 400 + local governments– All with their own practices,

regulations and long range plans

– We are directed to coordinate with our local government peers

FDOT and DCA Working Together

DCA and FDOT will work cooperatively to develop any new or modified guidance for transportation issues.

Implementation Action

Purpose of the Workshop

• Share information on new growth management and site impact issues

• Make you aware of the methods and tools we have developed

• Provide guidance on the use of these methods and tools

Purpose of the WorkshopTo learn from you what we can do,

to better assist youShare some GM issues still being discussed

– We will NOT make policy where there are still unanswered questions listen

What We Won’t Do Now

• Detailed training on– LOS computer programs– Trip Internalization Program (TIPS)– Modeling

2007 Changes

– Transportation Concurrency • Pilot program to study multimodal

transportation concurrency districts.

• Local governments can establish transportation concurrency backlog authorities

HB 985 Transportation

2007 Changes

Comprehensive Plans & Financial Feasibility • Comp plans financially feasible”• Planning period in the Concurrency Management System for

transportation & schools may be 10 or 15 years

Transportation Concurrency • Waiver of transportation concurrency in TCEA’s under certain

conditions• Allows local government to establish Transportation

Concurrency Backlog Authorities (also in HB 985)• Removes responsibility for backlog from proportionate-share • Proportionate fair-share may be used for “pipelining”

Public-Private Partnerships• Can advance projects outside the Work Program

HB 7203 Growth Management

2008 Legislation• SB 682 - Transportation (w/GM Impacts)

I-95 Parallel Corridor StudyRequires additional consideration for airports in the local

Comprehensive PlanExempts certain Port projects from the DRI processProvides some additional tools to Transportation

Concurrency Backlog AuthoritiesMethodology for Internal Capture for Sustainable

Developments

Vetoed by Gov. Crist but will likely resurface in 2009

2008 Legislation

SB 1706 - Growth ManagementExtension for compliance for certain

Substantial DeviationsExempted certain Medical Research Facilities

from DRI Review

2008 Legislation

HB 697 (Building Code Standards) • Requires Comprehensive Plans to address climate

change– Future Land Use Elements are to include green house gas

reduction strategies– Traffic Circulation and Transportation Elements are to include

strategies to reduce green house gas emissions from the transportation sector

– DCA currently in process of rulemaking to amend rule 9J-5, FAC.

2007 – 2008 Legislation

– Congestion relief on existing facilities is the priority

– Improved link between growth management and transportation planning

– We must include consideration of impacts of climate change

What’s Next• Implementation of recent

legislation

• Potential changes to law and rules in the future

Current Issues and Challenges

• Community Capture Methodology– Applies to large scale self sustaining developments– Statewide team active since July 2008– Will require extensive modeling and monitoring– A technical guide will be developed

New Slide

Current Issues and Challenges

• Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) based concurrency method– Two studies

• FDOT VMT Methodology– University of Florida

• DCA VMT Policy Application– Center for Urban Transportation Research
