Status Report of MPO Advisory Committees- No Action Required

Mr. Phil Matson, IRC MPO Director, reviewed his memorandum dated October 6, 2010, a copy of which is on file in the Commission Office.

Consideration of 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP - Draft Cost Feasible Plan -Action Required

Mr. Matson explained after the presentation of the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan at the September 8, 2010 MPO meeting, the members expressed a preference for network Alternative "A", and requested staff and its consultants develop a new network alternative. The new alternative, which does not assume adoption of any additional local option gas taxes within the 25-yearLRTP horizon, is identified as Alternative "C."

Since Alternative "C" was developed with less available revenue, there were a number of projects that appear in Alternative "A" that were eliminated from Alternative "C." The most significant of the projects excluded from Alternative "C" are the widening of 2th Avenue (St. Lucie County Line to Oslo Road) and the extension of 69th Street (66th Avenue to the Fellsmere North-South Grid Roadway).

Because there were fewer roadway improvements included in Alternative "C", the adoption of Alternative "C" would have adverse capacity and mobility impacts on the future travel network. There were more total Vehicle Miles and Vehicle Hours traveled under Alternative "C", this is because there were fewer grid roadways provided under that scenario. Also, under Alternative "C", a higher percentage of total travel will occur under congested conditions, and overall travel speeds will diminish.

The two alternatives also differ with respect to many individual travel corridors. In the south county area, for example, portions of 20th Avenue and 43rd Avenue will be approaching congested conditions under Alternative "C." Those roadways, however, do not demonstrate future deficiencies under Alternative "A", since there are more inter-county travel options with that alternative.

Another noticeable difference between the alternatives appears in the CR 512 corridor. Without 69th Street, east-west travel across 1-95 in the north county area will occur solely on CR 512, resulting in congested conditions on CR 512, particularly west of 1-95.

Mr. Matson introduced Mr. Gregory Kyle, and Mr. Ravi Wijesundera, consultants from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr. Kyle proceeded to give a

MPO- Unapproved 2 October 13,2010 F:\BCC\AII Committees\MP0\201 0 Minutes\1 0.13.1 O.doc

PowerPoint presentation, a copy of which is on file in the Commission Office. Highlights of this presentation were as follows:

The Cost Feasible Plan was built off the Adopted Needs Plan which was developed earlier in the process from a hybrid alternative that was developed by widening key roadway corridors as well as densifying the roadway grid within the county.

The 2035 Needs Plan Modeling Deficient Roadway Segments were identified as:

• 1-95 • us 1 • SRA1A • CR 510 • CR 507 • CR512 • Roseland Road • Indian River Boulevard • SR60 • Oslo Road • 82nd Avenue • 66th Avenue • 58th Avenue • 43rd Avenue • 2ih Avenue • 20th Avenue

Adopted Needs Plan Enhanced Grid Alternative:

• Combines construction of a denser grid network with widening of key corridors

• Eliminates the need to widen a number of roadways

Financial Resources Analyses:

• New Federal requirement for LRTP's • Converting revenues and costs to Year of Expenditure (YOE) dollars

more accurate method - accounts for effects of inflation on costs of transportation projects


Mr. Kyle pointed out approximately $55 million of funds were predicated upon the adoption of additional local option gas tax funds. Based on some concerns that were raised at previous meetings, Alternative "C" has been developed without the $55 million of funds.

Mr. Kyle continued, the gap in funding was something new to IRC; when the 2030 LRTP was prepared, there was enough funding available to fund all the projects that were in the needs plan. The gap reflects the increase in cost of transportation improvements, some of that related to the new way of preparing LRTP's where we have to factor in the effects of inflation over time on construction costs. It also reflected somewhat the way revenue streams are beginning to erode over time, such as the federal gas tax which has been at 18-cents a gallon since early 1990's. The value of that gas tax was eroding and is delivering less in terms of transportation infrastructure improvements.

Commissioner Davis asked if the decrease in the value of gas tax was due to more fuel efficient cars. Mr. Kyle responded the trend of more fuel efficient cars does impact the gas tax and that the cost of road construction was three to four times the cost of what it was in 1990.

Commissioner O'Bryan interjected the cost of purchasing right-of-way has also contributed to the increase of road construction.

Mr. Kyle moved on to the Goals, Objectives and Policies which were identified as:

• A connected, responsive, aesthetically pleasing and efficient transportation system that meets the needs of Indian River County residents, visitors, and businesses

• A transportation system that provides travel alternatives which enhance mobility for people and freight

• A transportation system that is sensitive to the natural and social environment

• A safe transportation system for Indian River County residents, visitors, and businesses

• A transportation system that is preserved and maintained through adequate investment and management of infrastructure

Mayor Adams arrived at 10:20 a.m.

Council Member Wright inquired about the projects identified with blue lines with no funding and wondered the purpose of having them on list. Mr. Kyle responded the purpose of leaving the blue-lined projects on the list was those projects were part of the adopted Needs Plan. When beginning the evaluation, they had to determine what projects progressed from the Needs Plan into the Cost Feasible Plan; the projects were still under consideration.


Mr. Kyle then reviewed comparisons between Alternatives "A" and "C" by showing the projects not included in Alternative "C":

Avenue

Commissioner Wheeler asked if on the plans for widening 2ih Avenue from the St. Lucie County line to Oslo Road; were there plans for St. Lucie County as well so there would be widening all the way through St. Lucie County. Mr. Kyle responded currently St. Lucie County was behind IRC in their plan development process. Their Needs Plan does include 4-lanes on the Emerson corridor which becomes 2ih Avenue in IRC; so basically it would match up with the St. Lucie County plan with 4-lanes.

Mr. Kyle related with either Alternative "A" or "C", there were going to be some corridors that are going to have a Level of Service deficiency, or exhibit congestion. Some of those areas include US-1 in Sebastian, where previously there was a decision made that no more than four-lanes were desired in that part of the county through the City of Sebastian. Also along SR 60 there were portions of the corridor that were shown to be over capacity, even with six-lanes in 2035. Portions of SR A 1 A were shown to be over capacity so those were not being addressed in either option.

Mr. Kyle continued areas where Alternative "A" was doing a better job of addressing the deficiencies than Alternative "C" include along CR 512 to the west of 1-95, in particular. What was shown there was the effectiveness of having another travel option by having 69th Street extended across 1-95 which is part of Alternative "A", by reducing the demand on CR 512 by providing another travel option for that area.

Alternative "A" does a better job of addressing congestion in the south part of the county, particularly the area south of Oslo Road where there were additional improvements. The 2ih Avenue widening helps relieve not only the demand in the 2ih Avenue Corridor, but also generally on the north-south roads to the south of Oslo Road.


Commissioner Davis opined instead of taking 69th Street from 66th Avenue to Fellsmere N-S Road where it would run through conservation land, it would make more sense to come across 7ih Street straight west, coming out on the south side of Vero Lake Estates, and cut across 1-95 coming into the north side of Fellsmere to Willow Street.

Mr. Kyle agreed that initially the roadway Commissioner Davis described had been considered, but eventually it moved to 69th Street. He said eventually an environmental analysis would have to be done to determine which corridor was appropriate out of 7ih Street and 69th Streets to take across 1-95, and which one would have the least significant environmental impact.

Mr. Kyle reviewed the Causes of Congestion:

• Slow growth in supply of transportation infrastructure versus: o Population growth o More trips going from one county or suburb to another o Heavy demand during peak periods of day

Adverse Impacts of Congestion:

• Environmental o Wasted fuel o Increased emissions degrade air quality

• Quality of Life o Travel delay takes away from family/discretionary time o Increased emergency response time

• Economy o Additional costs to businesses passed on to consumers

• Safety o Increased frequency of crashes

Traffic simulations were shown using US-1 and Roseland Road both today and in the year 2035 with the same road network in place. A simulation was also shown for 2035 with the widening of Roseland Road as well the addition of some turn lanes along US-1.

Commissioner Davis left the meeting at 10:50 a.m.


Alternative Mobility Options were reviewed:

• Adopted Needs Plan did not address capacity deficiencies in several corridors

o US-1 in Sebastian, SR A1A • Lack of revenue to fund all Adopted Needs Plan roadway

improvements • Alternative mobility strategies include transit and bicycle/pedestrian

facilities improvements

Transit Improvements:

• Strategic Transit Plan outlined in TOP • Service improvements are highest priority

o Extend operations over longer portion of day o Increased frequency to achieve 30-foot headways

• Extend Route 4 along US-1 into St. Lucie County • Identify transit priority corridors

Transit Supportive Land Use Patterns:

• Intense/dense use • Mixed use with multiple destinations within close proximity • Interconnected street networks • Pedestrian friendly - convenient and direct connections • Street-oriented design

Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements: • LRTP identifies "complete streets"

o Sidewalks, bike lanes, transit stops, etc. • County allocates $200k annually of gas tax revenues • Approximately $400k annually of State enhancement funds • Improvements are identified through MPO planning process

o Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan o Greenways Plan

Mr. Kyle identified the next steps were:

• Adoption of Draft Cost Feasible Plan • 45-day Public Comment Period • Ongoing Regional Coordination • 2035 LRTP Update Adoption


Mr. Matson summarized in the agenda package, staff recommended Alternative "A" and that was the one that contained more projects and does impose the additional 6-cents of local option gas tax. He opined the decision to not build the best and highest mobility oriented transportation system possible really has implications for the future congestion such as at US-1 and Roseland Road, or SR 60.

Mayor Gillmor asked if Alternative "A" were to be selected and the gas tax did not materialize, could we fall back to Alternative "C". Mr. Matson responded that could be possible.

Councilmember Abell wondered why Alternative "C" could not be selected and then adding projects to it later down the road. Mr. Matson replied Alternative "C" had a lot of projects on it which meant fewer less projects we could ask FOOT to start working on. Accepting Alternative "C" also acknowledges we are willing to accept fairly high levels of congestion.

Mr. Mora inquired if a project was not on our Long Range Plan would that disallow the use of grant funding. Mr. Matson replied in the affirmative.

Mayor Adams asked if it would be better to have everything in the plan then figure out how to pay for it as opposed to having the money and figuring out how to spend it.

Mr. Mora replied if we approve Alternative "A" we are keeping our options open in the future.

Commissioner Wheeler figured with the current gas tax at 6-cents, and another 6-cents slated for 2013, that would give us 12-cents. He asked Jason Brown, IRC Department of Management and Budget Director, how much the County currently collected in gas tax revenue per year. Mr. Brown replied $3 million per year.

Commissioner Wheeler felt this was one of the few appropriate taxes the government levies because it was designated to go toward transportation and it comes from gas tax for transportation. At some point in time, as a local government, we must start looking at what we were taxing for and how we were spending the money and not just keep adding on new taxes. He opined an average person was going to spend between $50 to $100 per year minimum for that additional 6-cents tax. His concern was what people could afford.

Mr. Joe Baird, IRC County Administrator, interjected one thing that needed to be looked at was that gas was essentially supply and demand, and the price

M PO - Unapproved 1 0 October 13, 2010 F:\BCC\AII Committees\MP0\201 0 Minutes\1 0.13.1 O.doc

was based on that fact. He continued the actual gas tax was only a small component of the price for gas. He felt it was important to have the additional 6-cents of gas tax in the LRTP. In order to impose the increase in gas tax, there would have to be public hearings at the time to obtain public input, so he thought we should not close the door and opined it was important to have that revenue included so we could obtain grants and have more money towards roads.

Mr. Kyle pointed out the average cost per year to commuters resulting from congestion in small urban areas similar to IRC, was $384. At 6-cents a gallon gas tax increase you could buy a lot of gas for $384.

Mr. Brown stated the Budget Office had been conducting a survey of Indian River, Brevard, St. Lucie and Martin Counties for gas tax prices. St. Lucie and Martin Counties have 12-cents gas tax; Indian River and Brevard have 6-cents. The survey is done once a week of four gas stations in each county; two in the US-1 corridor and two in the 1-95 corridor and the same gas brand in similar locations. The result of the survey was the average for the third quarter of 2010, Brevard County was almost 6.5-cents cheaper than Indian River County; St. Lucie County was one-tenth of a cent more that Indian River County, even though they levy 6-cents more in gas tax; and Martin County was 3.5-cents more than us.

Mr. Brown related the gas price was directly related to supply and demand; you have higher incomes in Martin County and Indian River County than in St. Lucie County, so the prices that can be extracted from the drivers would be higher. He opined that the gas distributors figure depending on where the gas was going, more money could be made.

Commissioner Solari reported he would be supporting Alternative "A", and because realistically in the world when you are buying things, such as in 1990 gas may have been $1 per gallon and at a S-cents gas tax, 5% of the $1 was going toward gas tax. Today, gas is $3 per gallon, with a 6-cents gas tax, and 1.66% of the $3 going toward the gas tax. In 2020, at a $4 per gallon cost, the gas tax would be 1.25%. He opined if the inflation factors were provided in real numbers, it would make it easier to make an informed decision when the time comes.

Mayor Adams suggested we may be doing ourselves a great disservice by limiting our options. She understood we may not have the money depending upon whether or not the gas tax was increased, but if we limited the list, and we were to get money through a grant or an increase in gas tax, we would already be behind the eight ball because the improvements were not in the LRTP. She also supported Alternative "A" because it provides options moving forward.


Council Member Wright noted some of the projects were slated for 2021, 2026, and 2031. He wondered what a realistic timeframe would be when FOOT would become involved or when we would begin looking for grants. Mr. Kyle responded the process would start in terms of funding and applications to FOOT approximately 15 years in advance.

Commissioner Solari interjected it was important to show as much as possible in advance, some of the roads that may occur, such as 43rd Avenue, as a main thoroughfare that would eventually have to be widened as traffic and growth increased. Since he first came to IRC in 1980, people come have come into the community in the last five to ten years and do not accept that 43rd Avenue needed to be 4-laned. It was incumbent on us to show as early as possible in the process where we may be building roads to at least let the public know if you buy here, maybe in 20 years there may be a road closer to your house.

Commissioner O'Bryan felt we needed to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, whereby we have taken a population projection and said how could we jam this many people in an area. He thought we should instead look at the resources we had to handle a certain number of people and that should be our projection. He did not find anything innovative in Alternatives "A" or "C", other than laying down more asphalt, while we were currently struggling to maintain the roads we have, and we're talking about building more roads. Park & Rides and more transit should be considered instead.

Discussion ensued regarding various methods of transit.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Solari, the members voted (6-3) to approve the staff-consultant recommendation of Alternative "A" of the Draft Cost Feasible Plan Summary Report. Commissioner O'Bryan, Councilmember Abell, and Council Member Wright opposed.

Other Business:

Mr. Matson announced at the next MPO meeting, scheduled for December 8, 2010, Mr. Jim Wolfe, District Secretary of FOOT, District 4, would be present. Mr. Wolfe would be discussing the FOOT Work Program.

DATE: November 30, 2010

SUBJECT: Request to Approve Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) Annual Evaluation Report for FY 2009-2010


SUMMARY

On an annual basis, the county's Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) and the MPO must evaluate the performance of the county Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC). Recently, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board completed its performance evaluation of the Senior Resource Association (SRA), the county's CTC, and recommended that the MPO retain the SRA as the county's CTC. Staff recommends that the MPO approve the attached CTC annual evaluation report, retain the Senior Resource Association as the county's CTC, and direct staff to forward the report to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged.


One requirement of the county's transportation disadvantaged service plan is that "the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) shall evaluate the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and provide a recommendation to the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) for continuation or replacement of the Community Transportation Coordinator". To facilitate this evaluation process, the TDLCB developed a set of criteria for the coordinator evaluation. On September 11, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the

F:\Community Development\U sers\MPO\Meetings\MP0\20 I 0\12-08-1 0\CTC Eval Staff Report. doc 1

county's Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), approved the CTC's evaluation procedures and standards. While the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is now the DOPA, the approved CTC evaluation procedures and standards have not changed.

To conduct this year's CTC evaluation, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) established a subcommittee whose purpose was to meet with the coordinator and evaluate the coordinator's performance. Using the criteria established by the TDLCB as well as the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged's required evaluation criteria, the subcommittee assessed the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and prepared a report addressing the coordinator's performance in relation to each of the evaluation criteria. A copy ofthat report is attached.

ANALYSIS

The Indian River County Senior Resource Association, formerly known as the Indian River County Council on Aging, was designated the County's Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) in October 1990. Since then, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) has reviewed the CTC performance each year and has consistently recommended that the DOPA retain the Senior Resource Association as the county's CTC.

This year, evaluation of the CTC was performed by an evaluation subcommittee appointed by the Local Coordinating Board. This evaluation was conducted according to the CTD's evaluation criteria, the CTC' s evaluation procedures and criteria approved by the TDLCB and the DOPA. Based upon its assessment, the committee gave good marks to the Senior Resource Association, the county's CTC, and recommends that the Senior Resource Association be retained as the county's CTC.

On November 18,2010, the TDLCB approved the CTC annual evaluation report, recommended that the MPO retain the Senior Resource Association as the county's CTC, and directed staff to forward the annual evaluation report to the MPO for its approval prior to submittal of the report to the state Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO approve the attached CTC annual evaluation report, retain the Senior Resource Association as the county's CTC, and direct staff to forward the report to the State Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged.

COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOREV ALUATION (FY2009-2010)

The CTC sub-committee evaluation of the county's Transportation Disadvantaged Community Transportation Coordinator was conducted on August 26, 2010. The committee was comprised of Dr. Harry Hurst, Cathy Viggiano, Dalia Dillon and Katherine Geyer. To aid in the completion of their evaluation, the committee members were given copies ofthe MPO's Evaluation Procedures and Standards for Community Transportation Coordinators and the CTC's Evaluation Workbook from the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged.

The Evaluation Criteria were divided into four sections; (1) Coordination/Planning, (2) Operation, (3) Cost/Financial Management, (4) Utilization Review. Karen Wood, Transportation Director of the Senior Resources Association, was asked questions from all four evaluation areas. The committee members ranked the performance of the SRA as excellent, good, average, or poor, based on supporting documents provided and Ms. Wood's responses. The last part of the evaluation process consisted of on-board bus observations by TDLCB Board members Katherine Geyer and Dalia Dillon. They volunteered to ride-along on a medical trip and document their experience.

The committee members were extremely impressed with the efficiency and excellence ofthe SRA's performance. They were also very appreciative of the efforts of Karen Wood, Karen Deigl, Executive Director and the entire SRA transportation staff. The CTC evaluation sub-committee recommends that the TDLCB approve the attached CTC annual evaluation report and to recommend that the MPO/DOPA retain the Senior Resource Associations as the county's CTC.

Florida Rule Chapter 41-2, implementing the provisions of Chapter 427, Florida Statutes, places upon the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) the responsibility for the overall planning, administration, monitoring, coordination, arrangement and delivery of transportation disadvantaged (TD) services within its designated service area. This rule also requires that the Local Coordinating Board (LCB) on a continuous basis evaluate the services provided by the County Transportation Coordinator and provide an evaluation of the Coordinator's performance in general and relative to Transportation Disadvantaged Commission's standards. The state is requiring that the following modules from the CTD's evaluation workbook be used as part of CTC performance evaluation.

• Competition • Cost effectiveness • Availability of Services

RESPONSIBILITIES AND TIMEFRAME

The Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) must evaluate the performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) on an annual basis and provide a recommendation to the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) for continuation or replacement of the Community Transportation Coordinator.

EVALUATION SUBCOMMITTEE

The TDLCB shall designate an Evaluation Subcommittee on an annual basis consisting of three voting members of the TDLCB to evaluate the previous year's (July 1- June 30) performance of the Community Transportation Coordinator and to provide a written report to the TDLCB.

TIMEFRAME

a) The evaluation report must cover the period from July 1 to June 30, corresponding to the timeframe ofthe Annual Operating Report (AOR). The evaluation subcommittee's report must be submitted for the TDLCB's consideration at the August meeting of the TDLCB.

Review of FDOT Draft Tentative Five Year Work Program for Fiscal Years 2011/12 through 2015/16


SUMMARY

Recently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) completed preparation of FDOT's FY 2011/12-2015/16 Draft Tentative Five Year Work Program. The work program, which is FDOT's project programming and financing schedule for transportation projects within the MPO area, must be developed with consideration of the MPO's 2010 highway, enhancement, congestion management system, transit and aviation priorities. Prior to FDOT transmitting the tentative work program to the state legislature for ultimate approval next spring, the MPO must approve the work program. Accordingly, the MPO must take action regarding the work program at its December 8, 2010 meeting. Staff recommends that the MPO review the work program, consider the FDOT presentation, and approve the tentative work program.

DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS

Recently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Four staff completed preparation of the District's Fiscal Year (FY) 201112012 - 2015/16 Draft Tentative Five-Year Work Program (Attachment 1). According to state and federal requirements, FDOT's work program must be developed cooperatively with the MPO and local governments. This coordination requirement results in short timeframes for FDOT to prepare and the MPO to review and approve the Draft Tentative Five Year Work Program.

F:\Community Dcvclopmcni\Uscr~\MPO\Mccting•IMP0\201011 2.08·10\TWP sLD.ffrcport.doc

1

The MPO's input into FDOT's process of developing its FY 2011/12- 2015/16 Tentative Five Year Work Program actually began with the MPO's September submittal to FDOT of its 2010 Priority Projects Report. That report contains the MPO's 2010 priority lists for highway, enhancement, congestion management process (CMP), transit, and aviation projects. According to established procedures, FDOT had to consider the MPO's project priorities in developing a new fifth year of its Draft Tentative Five Year Work Program.

In accordance with state law, MPOs must approve the work program prior to the District office sending it to Tallahassee for ultimate approval by the legislature at the upcoming legislative session. Accordingly, FDOT will present its work program to the MPO at its December 8, 2010 meeting. On December 1st, FDOT held a public hearing on the work program at the Fort Pierce City Commission Chambers, 100 North U.S. Highway 1, Fort Pierce, Florida. Like last year, the public hearing covered all three Treasure Coast counties, not just Indian River County.

ANALYSIS

FDOT's FY 2011112-2015116 Draft Tentative Five Year Work Program is an important document. Not only is it the basis for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that the MPO must prepare annually, it is also the FDOT's schedule for expending transportation funds and undertaking transportation projects within the MPO area.

Since FDOT's work program is the mechanism by which the MPO's priority projects are implemented, it is important to compare the proposed work program to the MPO's 2010 adopted highway, enhancement, CMP, transit, and aviation priority projects list. Attachment 2 is a status report of key projects in the work program. Contained in that report is each funded project's MPO Priority ranking. For convenience, a copy of the 2010 MPO Priority Projects Report (Attachment 3) is also attached.

2010 Priority Highway Projects

While financial resources for transportation have declined statewide over the past several years, FDOT has been able to maintain funding in Indian River County and has even been able to advance a number of MPO priorities. These include the MPO's top highway priority, the widening ofUSl from Oslo Road to Highlands Drive, which has been advanced from 2012/13 to 2011/12; the widening of US 1 from Highlands Drive to St. Lucie County, which has received full construction funding in 2014115; and the Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) phase of the Oslo Road Interchange, which has advanced from 2014/15 to 2011112.

Perhaps the most significant activity in this year's Work Program is the acceleration of the I-95 widening project. The first phase of the project, from the St. Lucie County Line to SR 60, was advanced from 2014115 to the current Fiscal Year (2010/11). In fact, it is anticipated that construction of this project will begin later this year. Other phases of the project (SR 60 to CR 512 and CR 512 to the Brevard County Line) have received construction funding in the work program for the first time.

2010 Priority Enhancement Projects

In the attached work program, FDOT has allocated new Enhancement funding to the MPO's top Enhancement priority, the South Sebastian Greenway. That funding appears in Fiscal Year 2013/14.

2010 Priority Congestion Management Process (CMP) Projects

Each year, the MPO is required to identify congestion mitigation projects that can forestall major roadway widening through strategies such as intersection improvements and alternative modal treatments. If it chooses, the MPO may allocate a small portion of its Federal highway funding to implement these projects. In the past, several longstanding CMP priorities, including the Traffic Signal Synchronization system and the Five Points intersection, were programmed for funding from the MPO's fund allocations. Other CMP priorities, such as the Schumann A venue/Barber Street Intersection and Transit Service on 17th Street, received funding through matching grant programs.

In 2010, the MPO's top CMP priorities (Miracle Mile access improvements, 37th Street Access Improvements) did not involve major construction and, therefore, no federal highway funding was allocated to these projects this year.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO review the attached work program, consider the FDOT staff presentation, and approve the draft tentative work program.

Indian River County MPO 2


INDIAN RIVER COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION

2010 PRIORITY PROJECTS REPORT

INTRODUCTION

In September of each year, MPOs in Florida are required to submit priority projects lists to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The September priority projects submittal date allows FDOT time to incorporate MPO priorities in a new draft tentative Five Year Work Program, transmit the draft tentative work program to MPOs in November, present the work program to MPOs in early December, and hold public hearings in mid-December. The Five Year Work Program is then submitted to the Legislature in January, sixty days prior to the start of the legislative session.

This report contains the Indian River County MPO's 2010 priority projects lists. The MPO priority lists are used by FDOT as the basis for developing its annual five year work program. The projects included in this report will be considered for funding by FDOT, primarily in the fifth year (FY 2015/20 16) of its FY 2011112-2015116 Five Year Work Program.

The component lists of the MPO's 2010 Priority Projects Report are similar to those in the 2009 report. In 2009, however, the MPO opted to divide the highway priorities list into three categories, roughly mirroring three major available funding sources: Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) projects; Regional Highway projects; and Other Highways. This year, the MPO has eliminated the Regional Highway list and developed a new list, known as the Regionai/Intermodal Priorities list, for TRIP-grant eligible projects. This action was taken because alternative modal projects, as well as roadway projects, are eligible for funding under the TRIP program. Since approximately $500,000 will be made available in TRIP funding in the three-county Treasure Coast area, it is more likely that an alternative modal project could be constructed, given the limited amount of available funding.

As it did in 2009, the MPO has also developed lists for priority Congestion Management Process projects, Enhancement projects, Transit projects, and Aviation projects.

PRIORITY HIGHWAY PROJECTS

This section explains the specific methodology utilized to prepare the MPO's 2010 Priority Highway Projects List. In this section, the inputs and data used to develop and rank the projects are explained, and a brief explanation of each project and its rank are also provided.

The primary input used in developing the 2010 list of priority highway projects was the MPO's adopted 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Besides the 2030 LRTP, routine system monitoring and discussions with staff from other MPOs, local governments, and FDOT were also used as inputs in developing the list.



The 2030 LRTP (Table A-10 of the Appendix) was used as the primary basis in developing the priority highway projects list. The reasons for this include:

• SAFETEA-LU and state regulations require projects funded through FDOT to be consistent with the MPO's adopted LRTP;

• the LRTP's recommended roadway improvement projects are consistent with adopted local government comprehensive plans, including the Transportation Element of the County's adopted 2020 Comprehensive Plan;

• the improvements listed in the MPO' s adopted LR TP were analyzed for need using sound transportation planning and engineering practices; and

• the MPO's LRTP was adopted after considerable involvement of citizens, technical experts, and elected officials.

In addition to using the LRTP, MPO staff reviewed the status of the projects listed in the MPO's 2009 priority highway projects list and compared those projects to FDOT's current (FY 2010/11 - 2014/15) adopted Five Year Work Program. Finally, meetings and discussions with municipal, County, and FDOT staff provided additional information utilized in preparing the 2010 list. In those meetings, local government staff familiar with localized capacity and safety problems provided additional information regarding needed projects, while FDOT staff provided input regarding potential projects based on the results and recommendations of numerous FDOT corridor studies undertaken within the County.

In order to adopt a priority list that more closely approximates the major classifications of the roadway network, the MPO has divided its highway priority list into two categories: SIS Highways and Other Highways.

SIS Highways

The Strategic Intermodal System in Indian River County consists of I-95, the Florida Turnpike, and SR 60 West ofl-95 to Osceola County. Projects on the SIS generally serve an interstate and inter-regional function and carry high volumes of traffic and goods across long distances. FDOT allocates funding specifically for Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) projects and has requested local input into the SIS funding prioritization process. This year's top SIS project in Indian River County remains the Oslo Road Interchange. That project is programmed for $2,300,000 in Project Developmental and Environmental (PD&E) funding in 2014/15 in the current TIP, but still needs Right-of-Way acquisition and Construction funding.

Other Highways

Non-SIS roadways for which the MPO is seeking federal and state funding are included on the Other Highways priority list. Last year, the MPO's top priority was US 1 from Oslo Road to Highlands Drive. That project is programmed for approximately $11,000,000 in construction funding in FY 2012/13 in the current TIP, and is now considered fully funded for construction.



The second ranked priority from 2009, the widening of US 1 from Highlands Drive to the St. Lucie County Line, has now become the MPO's top unfunded priority.

The complete list of highway priorities is included as Tables A-1 and A-2 in the Appendix. That list is consistent with the 2030 LRTP interim year project sets, as well as local comprehensive plans, MPO plans, and FDOT' s work program. A summary description of each project in order of priority ranking and an explanation of its ranking is presented below.

2010 List of Priority Highway Projects- SIS

1. Oslo Road Interchange at Interstate 95- The project was included in the MPO's 2030 LRTP- Cost Feasible Plan based on anticipated future travel demand in the Oslo Road corridor. Not only will the project help meet demand, but the project will also assist in generating commercial/industrial activity. Finally, this interchange will enhance hurricane evacuation capabilities in the county. Right of Way and construction funding is requested for this project.

2010 List of Priority Highway Projects - Other

1. US 1, six Ianing from the St. Lucie County Line to Highlands Drive - This project is a follow-on to last year's top priority, six laning US 1 from south of Oslo Road to Highlands Drive. The St. Lucie County Line to Highlands Drive segment experiences congestion that needs to be addressed in the intermediate (5-15 year) term. This project will alleviate the congestion and capacity issues on that road segment. Construction funding is requested for this project.

2. 82nd Avenue, two Ianing from 26th Street to CR 510 - The MPO's 2030 LRTP includes a project to construct 82nd A venue as a two lane facility from its current terminus near 26th Street to CR 510. This segment of roadway is identified as a multiuse corridor with Greenways for non-motorized transportation. As currently proposed, the project involves paving 82nd A venue from 26th Street to CR 510. Design of the project is nearly complete. Right-of-way acquisition and construction funding are requested for this project.

Conclusion

As structured, the MPO's 2010 List of Priority Highway Projects identifies only those projects for which state and/or federal funding is requested. As indicated in the MPO's 2030 LRTP, many of the plan's cost-feasible roadway improvements will be funded with local revenues and constructed by the County or local municipalities. Because locally funded roadway improvement projects can generally be completed in shorter timeframes than state or federally funded projects, it is often preferable not to include projects on the MPO's priority highways list where local funding is available for those projects. Therefore, the priority highway projects list includes only roadway projects which require state or federal funds and which are not needed for several years.



PRIORITY REGIONALIINTERMODAL PROJECTS

Regional transportation projects serve a function of connecting major population or activity concentrations that are separated by some distance. With the 2006 Growth Management Legislation, regional projects became more important, because that legislation established a new grant program, known as the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP), for use on transportation projects determined to be regional in nature.

In order to qualify for TRIP funding, the MPO engaged in a number of actions. Tho5se included establishing a new regional entity, the Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC), with Martin and St. Lucie Counties; developing a regional roadway network map; and developing a set of interim criteria for prioritizing TRIP project candidates on a regional basis. In 2008, the interim prioritization criteria were applied to the list of regional projects identified in the Long Range Plans of the individual counties.

In 2010, the MPO removed Regional Highways as a category of the Highway Priorities list and developed a new list, known as the Regional/lntermodal Priorities list, for TRIP-grant eligible projects. This action was taken because alternative modal projects, as well as roadway projects, are eligible for funding under the TRIP program. Since only about $500,000 will be made available in TRIP funding in the three-county Treasure Coast area, the Treasure Coast MPOs have determined that this year's TRIP funding allocation would be best utilized to partially satisfy the local matching fund requirement for passenger rail corridor improvements on the FEC rail corridor.

Indian River County has also identified a number of regional roadway projects to be funded in the event that the FEC rail corridor improvements project is found ineligible. Those projects include segments of 66th A venue and County Road 510, which were first identified on last year's TRIP priority list. Those projects are the top unfunded or partially-funded Indian River County projects on the 2008 TCTC regional priority list. The announced level of TRIP funding available, however, would be sufficient to fund only a small portion of one of those projects.

Unlike every other priority list in this document, the Regional priorities list is not adopted solely by the MPO. After approval of Indian River County's regional priority candidates by the MPO, the candidate projects from all three counties will be ranked and approved by the TCTC. After approval, the TCTC regional priorities will be submitted to FDOT.

PRIORITY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROCESS (CMP) PROJECTS

Beginning with the 1998 Priority Projects Report, MPO staff utilized the MPO's Congestion Management System (CMS) plan to identify and prioritize improvement strategies for the county's most congested corridors. In 2003, the MPO prepared a CMS Plan Major Update. With the 2006 passage of SAFETEA-LU, the new federal highway authorization bill, the



Congestion Management System was renamed the "Congestion Management Process," or CMP.

The most recent CMP project in Indian River County, improvement of the intersection of Royal Palm Pointe and Indian River Boulevard, was completed earlier this year. That project, which resulted in significant efficiency improvements, demonstrates the potential successes of the CMP approach to congested corridors.

In 2010, MPO staff completed a new CMP analysis. Using the CMP methodology adopted by the MPO in 2003, staff identified the most congested corridors in the county based on existing and vested trips; eliminated those corridors which are programmed for widening; and eliminated those corridors which have already been evaluated through the CMP process. The remaining corridors were then subject to a screening process to identify appropriate CMP strategies and projects. The resulting CMP priorities are as follows:

CORRIDOR STRATEGY

37th Street (US 1 Add right tum lanes at major intersections and driveways to Indian River

Add bus shelters Boulevard) Provide intersection improvements at 3 ih and Indian River Boulevard

Indian River Extend right tum lanes at V ero Isles and other driveways

Boulevard (1 ih Connect 5th A venue to the Miracle Mile Shopping Center Street to Merrill Barber Bridge) Increase transit headways on Route 1

Although there is no specific allocation of FDOT funding reserved exclusively for CMP projects, MPOs have the option to program CMP projects for funding with federal highway money. Since MPO formula highway funding has been significantly curtailed in recent years, the MPO will not request the allocation of funds that would otherwise be used for MPO highway priorities but will instead seek alternative funding sources (such as County Incentive Grant, Intermodal, and ITS funding) for the construction of CMP projects.

PRIORITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS

One important component of SAFETEA-LU, the federal highway act, is the federal enhancements program. Funded with ten percent of Surface Transportation Program allocations, the enhancement program focuses on improvements that complement the transportation system. In Florida, enhancement funds are allocated to each FDOT district, which then determines how these funds will be distributed among the MPOs in its jurisdiction.



In 2007 and 2008, the MPO suspended the enhancement prioritization cycle, since a single year of enhancement funding in Indian River County has proven to be insufficient to construct a project of significant impact. In 2009, the MPO indicated that its top-ranked Enhancement priority was the Trans-Florida Railway Corridor Greenway in Northern Indian River County. That project was the highest ranked priority contained in the MPO's first ever Greenways Plan, which was adopted in 2006. Subsequently, FDOT District Four allocated $717,060 in year 2012 of the most recent TIP for construction of that priority.

For 2010, FDOT will no longer allow MPOs to suspend Enhancement cycles to accumulate funding. Therefore, the MPO must submit priorities for approximately $350,000 in Enhancement Funds. Those funds will be available in FY 2013/14. To identify new priorities, the MPO once again identified unfunded projects in the County's Greenways Master Plan. Two projects have been ranked according to the criteria contained in the County's Greenways Master Plan. Those criteria, including connectivity, constructability, quality of life benefits, agency support and cost, are summarized in A-9 of the Appendix. The highest ranked Greenways projects based on the criteria are shown in Table A-5 and Table A-6, and are described in detail below.

2010 List of Priority Enhancement Projects

1. South Sebastian Greenway Corridor- The South Sebastian Greenway corridor is a north-south connector, traversing between Barber Street and CR 512. It runs within the City of Sebastian, with the right-of-way under City of Sebastian or Indian River County ownership. The corridor provides access to two elementary schools, the Sebastian Stormwater Park, the Sebastian Harbor Preserve Conservation Area, Sebastian City hall, Schumann Drive Park, Easy Street Park, shopping centers, and residential neighborhoods in the City of Sebastian. The corridor is 4 miles long, with an estimated cost of $1,840,000 for construction of a paved surface trail. For the 2010 Enhancement cycle, the MPO is requesting funds for construction of 1 mile of the corridor, from Thunderbird Drive to Kildare Drive. The estimated cost of the project is $366,200.

2. Ai7ort Loop Greenway Trail- The Vero Beach Airport Greenway trail runs along 43r A venue, 41st Street, Aviation Boulevard/26th Street, and the FEC Railroad corridor parallel to US 1. It is planned as a 10' wide shared-use path, approximately 6.6 miles in length. The MPO is currently requesting funds for the construction of the trail that runs along Aviation Boulevard. This segment is 1.5 miles long and has an estimated cost of $1,000,000.

PRIORITY TRANSIT PROJECTS

Because of the way that transit projects are funded, transit priorities were not included in the MPO's priority projects list until the year 2000. Prior to that time, the MPO had not considered it necessary to develop transit priority lists, because transit capital and transit operations are funded by FT A and because a separate grant application is submitted directly to FTA. In the last several years, however, the MPO obtained funds from a variety of sources, including discretionary state grants. In order to apply for many federal and state grant



programs, proposed projects must be included on an adopted MPO priority list. In addition, fixed route transit travel has gained in popularity in recent years, which has made the need to prioritize available resources in order to meet demand even greater. For those reasons, FDOT encouraged the MPO to develop a transit priority list as a mechanism to implement the MPO's transit plans.

For 2010, the primary source of projects in the transit priority list was the MPO's Transit Development Plan (TDP) - Major Update. Since a major update of the TDP in 2008, the county has been implementing a number of TDP strategies, such as new service, new facilities, a bus wrap program, and adjustments to existing routes. In fact, the county recently implemented two of the MPO's top three priorities: providing new service in the West SR 60 corridor, which was made possible by an FDOT grant; and providing service on South Indian River Boulevard, which was also a CMP priority.

Many of the projects in the 2008 TDP, however, have not been implemented. Those projects form the basis of the transit priority list.

PRIORITY AIRPORT PROJECTS

In Indian River County, there are two publicly owned general aviation airports, each of which qualifies for state and federal funding. Separate priority project lists have been established for each airport. This report includes a Vero Beach Airport priority projects list and a Sebastian Airport priority projects list.

To develop the airport priority projects list, MPO staff reviewed the current JACIPs (Joint Automated Capital Improvement Programs) for each of the two public airports in the county, identified which projects in the JACIPs were unfunded, and coordinated with respective airport staffs. The following airport priority projects were identified for 2010/11-2015/16.

Conclusion

The six components of the Indian River County MPO's 2010 Priority Projects Report-the priority highway projects list, the priority regional/intermodal projects list, the priority CMP projects list, the priority enhancement projects list, the priority transit projects list, and the priority airport projects list-were reviewed by the MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), the MPO Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), and by the MPO Board. Opportunities for public comment were available at the TAC, CAC, and MPO meetings. Before making decisions regarding the five priority projects lists, the MPO and its advisory committees considered public input.

At its meeting of September 8, 2010, the Indian River County MPO considered the 2010 Priority Projects Report. The MPO also reviewed the accompanying staff report, considered the recommendations of the TAC and CAC, and discussed various issues. The MPO then adopted the priority projects report containing the MPO's 2010 lists of priority highway, regional/intermodal, CMP, enhancement, transit, and airport projects.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FINAL INDIAN RIVER COUNTY 2035 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN


SUMMARY

Attached to this staff report is a copy of the final MPO 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) summary report. The LRTP is a multi-modal transportation plan which meets Indian River County's transportation needs through 2035. The plan is now presented for adoption by the MPO.


According to state and federal regulations, the Indian River County MPO must prepare and adopt an updated long range transportation plan (LRTP) by January 1, 2011. That plan has been under preparation now for almost two years.

During that time, MPO staff and the MPO's LRTP consultants, Kimley-Hom and Associates/Stanley Consultants, have undertaken research, collected data, initiated public involvement activities, developed alternative roadway networks, completed socio-economic data projections, coordinated with FDOT and the other Treasure Coast MPO's, and developed preliminary goals.

Using the Greater Treasure Coast Regional Planning Model (GTCRPM), the MPO and its consultants prepared a forecast of future travel demand and compared that demand to the current capacity of the county's transportation system. That GTCRPM analysis provided the basis for development of the draft 2035 Needs Plan.

1

With the Needs Plan providing an indication of future year transportation improvement needs, MPO staff and the consultant prepared a detailed financial analysis, projected future revenues, and estimated Needs Plan improvements costs. Based upon this analysis, staff and the consultant developed a draft cost feasible plan. At the MPO meeting of October 13, 2010, the MPO approved both the draft needs and cost feasible plans and authorized staff to begin a required 45-day public comment period.

ANALYSIS

Attached to this staff report is the draft final MPO 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) summary report. Page 12 of the summary report constitutes the MPO's cost feasible listing of roadway projects that are required to meet the MPO's needs through the year 2035. This is the same list of projects that was approved by the MPO, the TAC, and the CAC in October of2010.

Contained in the Summary Report are the MPO's Adopted Needs and Cost Feasible Roadway Networks; a summary of the land use/visioning process, public involvement activities, and financial resources analysis; and a discussion of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan. In addition to the Summary Report, the MPO has prepared an LRTP Final Report and Technical Appendix. Those documents contain an in-depth analysis of the topics contained in the Summary Report, and contain data, technical specifications, and draft plan alternatives. Both the Final Report and Technical Appendix are available for review in the MPO offices.

As structured, the 2035 LRTP accommodates travel demand projected through the year 2035. The plan is multi-modal, incorporating highway, transit, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. Accordingly, the plan will be the basis for developing the MPO's future priority projects lists and transportation improvement programs. It will also serve as a guide for programming federal, state, and local transportation funds through 2035.

On November 19th, 2010, the TAC considered the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan and recommended that the MPO approve the plan. On November 30, 2010, the CAC also considered the plan and recommended approval by the MPO.

At this time, the MPO must adopt the final 2035 LRTP. Once adopted, the plan will be sent to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for approval.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO consider the final2035 Long Range Transportation Plan, provide staff with any questions or comments regarding that plan, and approve the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Indian River Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the federally designated

transportation planning authority serving Indian River County. As such, the MPO is required by

federal law to update its long range transportation plan (LRTP) every five years. In Indian River

County, the LRTP serves as a mechanism for identifying and prioritizing multi-modal

transportation improvements over a 20-year planning horizon. Periodically updating the LRTP is

necessary to identify appropriate transportation system improvements in light of changing

socio-economic conditions, thereby supporting the county's economic vitality, enhancing

mobility, and improving quality of life.

Consistent with the federal transportation planning guidelines provided in the Safe,

Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU),

and applicable state, county, and local plans, policies, and guidelines, the 2035 LRTP was

developed through a comprehensive analysis of the county's multi-modal transportation

system, including highways, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. During the 21-month

plan development process, input was obtained from local residents, public agencies, state

agencies, and MPOs of neighboring counties.

Contained in the Summary Report are the MPO's Adopted Needs and Cost Feasible Roadway

Networks; a summary of the land use/visioning process, public involvement activities, and

financial resources analysis; and a discussion of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the 2035

Long Range Transportation Plan.

Goals. Objectives, Policies and Measures of Effectiveness

The goals, objectives, policies, and measures of effectiveness (GOPMs) for the 2035 LRTP

Update were developed after reviewing GOPMs from the 2030 LRTP Update, comprehensive

plans of the County and municipalities, and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council's

Strategic Regional Policy Plan. Further, the 2035 LRTP Update goals were developed consistent

1

Attachment 1

with the SAFETEA-LU guidelines. The goals, which formed the basis for the development and

evaluation of transportation improvement alternatives, include:

• Goal 1: To provide a connected, responsive, aesthetically pleasing and efficient

transportation system that meets the needs of Indian River County residents, visitors,

and businesses.

• Goal 2: To provide a transportation system with travel alternatives to enhance mobility

for people and freight.

• Goal 3: To provide a transportation system that is sensitive to the natural and social

environment.

• Goal 4: To provide a safe transportation system for Indian County residents, visitors, and

businesses.

• Goal 5: To provide a transportation system that is preserved and maintained through

adequate investment and management of the infrastructure.

Public Participation Plan

At the outset of the 2035 LRTP Update, a public participation plan was developed consistent

with the guidelines provided in the SAFETEA-LU and the MPO's adopted public involvement

process. SAFETEA-LU, which is the successor to the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st

Century (TEA-21), emphasizes utilization of visualization techniques to describe transportation

plans and presentation of public information, such as reports and meeting notices, in

electronically accessible formats and means, such as the World Wide Web. Outreach tools used

during the 2035 LRTP Update are listed below.

• MPO newsletters

• LRTP website

• Public meetings/workshops

• MPO advisory committees and boards

• Online surveys

• Mass media (newspapers, radio and television stations, online media)

• Meeting notices, flyers, posters, and comment cards

• Chambers of Commerce

A dedicated website was developed for the 2035 LRTP Update

During LRTP development, a series of public workshops was conducted to obtain input for key

components of the plan, such as the land use vision, needs plan alternatives, and the cost

feasible plan. Powerpoint presentations, simulations, display boards, interactive spreadsheets,

breakout groups, facilitated discussions, comment cards, and question and answer sessions

were used during public workshops. An online survey was conducted to obtain input during the

development of Needs Plan. Over 200 people attended LRTP public workshops, and

approximately 500 comment cards/online surveys were completed during the plan update.

That input was utilized to develop and refine multi-modal transportation improvements. In fact,

public input on the Needs Plan projects was a criterion for prioritizing projects in the Cost

Feasible Plan. Throughout the plan development, presentations were made to the MPO Board,

Citizens Advisory Committee, and Technical Advisory Committee. These meetings were publicly

advertised and provided additional opportunities for feedback. Between October and

December of 2010, the plan documents were made available for public review before final

adoption.

Land Use Vision

The Preferred Land Use Vision developed for the LRTP Update sets policy direction to manage

how and where future growth and development are accommodated in Indian River County. The

3

general location, timing and pace of growth are vital to determining when and where to build

transportation infrastructure. Two land use alternatives, an Existing Trends Alternative and an

lnfill Alternative, were considered during the land use visioning process.

The Existing Trends Alternative would maintain the land uses, intensities, and densities in

current local comprehensive plans. The county's current land-use pattern consists primarily of

low-density residential development, commercial uses in a few major corridors, relatively little

mixed use development, and dispersed employment centers. New residential areas have now

expanded to the western edge of the urban service area along several corridors.

Existing Trends Alternative would maintain status quo in the county regarding land use

The lnfill Alternative was based on public input received at the land use workshop and was

developed with the objective of incorporating the time-tested principles of traditional town

planning and urban design. The lnfill Alternative proposes new neighborhood, corridor, and

district areas that will become the focus of infill redevelopment and business recruitment. The

majority of new developments will occur within the Urban Service Area. The MPO adopted lnfill

Alternative as the preferred land use vision.

4

The input received during the community visioning workshop and stakeholder meeting indicated

a general consensus that far-reaching changes to the County's comprehensive plan are not

desired or necessary. That consensus, however, indicated that adjustments to the current

County comprehensive plan and land development regulations should be considered to:

• Increase workplace, residential and retail infill opportunities

• Improve the mix and proximity of complementary land uses

• Improve street network interconnectivity

• Discourage sprawling patterns of development

• Encourage the development and redevelopment of compact, complete and connected

mixed-use neighborhoods within the County's urban service area, especially within the

Fellsmere annexation areas and the US 1 corridor.

The In fill Alternative, which identifies several areas for redevelopment, was selected as the Preferred Land Use Vision for the 2035 LRTP Update

5

Socio-Economic Data

The lnfill Alternative was the basis of the socio-economic data developed for travel demand

modeling. Several sources, including the Bureau of Economic and Business Research's (BEBR)

population forecasts, U.S. Census Bureau's household and employment data, and Indian River

MPO's vacant land inventory, provided information that was vital in the development of the

socio-economic data. BEBR's mid-range population estimates were used as the total population

control totals. The following table summarizes base year (2005) and horizon year (2035)

population, household, and employment data for Indian River County.

Socio-economic Data

Year Total Population Total Households Total Employment

2005 145,486 62,618 54,429

2035 208,993 96,480 82,474

30-year growth 44% 54% 52%

Needs Plan

A Needs Plan identifies required improvements to an area's transportation network above and

beyond projects for which funding has already been committed (i.e., included in the

Transportation improvement Program) to maintain satisfactory mobility conditions. These

needs are identified without consideration of project costs or potential revenue streams

available to fund the improvements.

The needs assessment involved an evaluation of several alternatives through travel demand

modeling. During alternatives analysis, both the widening of existing roadways and the

construction of new grid roadways were considered. A well-connected and dense grid network

increases travel route choices and also provides opportunities to accommodate shorter distance

trips on minor roads, thus preserving capacity on major roads for longer distance trips. The

Needs Plan alternatives were presented to the public and MPO committees at several

workshops and meetings. After several iterations, the Enhanced Grid Alternative was selected

as the Adopted Needs Plan.

Regional Coordination

This plan recognizes the importance of regional connectivity. The location of jobs, housing, and

recreational centers often induces travel between counties. Therefore, throughout the LRTP

update process, Indian River County coordinated with ongoing long range transportation

planning efforts in St. Lucie and Brevard Counties. The Needs Plans of these adjacent counties

were reviewed to ensure that major roadways are planned in a consistent manner at the county

lines.

Financial Plan

A new aspect in the financial plan component of this LRTP Update is that both costs and

revenues are presented in year of expenditure (YOE) dollars rather than base year dollars. The

YOE approach provides a more realistic estimation of available revenue streams and the costs of

improvements. In the LRTP financial component, revenues for future transportation

improvements were estimated for Indian River County through 2035. The revenue forecast

assumed that the County would adopt the discretionary five-cent 2"d local option gas tax and

the ninth-cent gas tax by year 2013. A reduced revenue scenario, which assumed that no new

local option gas taxes would be adopted, was also considered.

The cost estimate of the Needs Plan projects indicates that the cost of highway improvements

exceeds the projected capital revenue, even if additional local option gas taxes are adopted.

The $565 million projected highway funding over the 20-year period is less than the projected

cost of the Needs Plan, which varies between $610 million and $983 million depending on the

implementation timeframe.

Cost Feasible Plan

Through the Cost Feasible Plan development process, the Needs Plan projects were evaluated to

determine which projects should be prioritized. The Cost Feasible Plan roadway improvement

projects were then prioritized based on the following criteria.

• Volume to capacity (V/C) ratio

• Project benefit

• Connectivity

• Project location

• Emergency evacuation routes

• Truck routes

• lntermodal/transit routes

• Regionalism

• Environmental impacts

• Public input

A number of Cost Feasible Plan alternatives were considered. Ultimately, the MPO Board

selected Alternative A, an option which includes roadway widening along key travel corridors

exhibiting the greatest travel demand along with the construction of a denser grid network, as

the preferred cost feasible plan for the 2035 LRTP Update.

During the LRTP Update, policy decisions were made not to widen several corridors which

exhibited travel demand exceeding their adopted level of service standards. Those policy

decisions are summarized below.

10

• Arterial roadways should not exceed six lanes. Therefore, a decision was made not to

widen portions of SR 60 and US 1 to eight lanes.

• Due to lack of right-of-way and environmental concerns, a decision was made not to

widen SR AlA to four lanes.

• US 1 will not be widened to six lanes between CR 512 and Roseland Road in the City of

Sebastian's downtown core.

• Oslo Road will not be widened to six lanes until the need for widening beyond four lanes

is assessed after a new 1-95 interchange is constructed at Oslo Road.

In addition to the above corridors, small segments of several corridors are expected to exceed

the capacity. Those segments are candidates for the Congestion Management Process (CMP)

projects that typically examine intersection improvement strategies such as constructing turn

lanes, optimizing signal timing, and using Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications to

reduce congestion.

Transit improvements will continue to be guided through the Transit Development Plan (TDP)

process. Service improvements outlined in the TDP include (1) extending weekday and Saturday

operations to provide service over a longer portion of the day and (2) implementing frequency

improvements to achieve headways of thirty minutes on high performing routes. These service

improvements are the highest priority transit improvements in Indian River County. Based on

the adopted lnfill Alternative, corridors which offer the highest potential for transit ridership

and may be targeted as transit priority corridors include US 1, SR 60, and CR 512.

The Cost Feasible Plan allocates approximately $600,000 annually for bicycle and pedestrian

improvements. The MPO has already developed greenways master plans for north and central

Indian River County and is planning to develop a greenways plan for the south county by 2012

and a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan update by 2011. In addition, roadway improvement projects

will incorporate pedestrian and bicycle features as "complete streets" including sidewalks, bike

lanes (or wide paved shoulders), comfortable and accessible transit stops, and crossing

opportunities.

Consideration of Amendments to the Adopted Indian River County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)


SUMMARY

Recently, FDOT submitted a series of amendments to the adopted FY 2010111 -2014115 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for consideration and approval by the MPO. These amendments relate to a number of projects that FDOT was able to accelerate into the current fiscal year (20 1 0111) of the adopted TIP. Approval of the attached amendments is necessary to ensure that funding is available to begin those projects. Staff recommends that the MPO consider the attached TIP amendments and approve the amendments.

DESCRIPTION, CONDITIONS & ANALYSIS

Recently, FDOT submitted a series of amendments to the adopted FY 2010/11 - 2014115 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for consideration and approval by the MPO. Approval of the attached amendments by the MPO board is necessary to ensure that funding is available in the current fiscal year (2010/11) for a number of transportation projects.

The first of the proposed TIP amendments advances the six-laning of I-95 (St. Lucie County Line to SR 60) from FY 2014/15 to FY 2010/11 in the current TIP. The project, which includes both Design and Construction, can begin as early as the Spring of 2011. When complete, the project will remove the last remaining four-lane section of I-95 on the East Coast of Florida between Daytona Beach and Miami.

The second TIP amendment is a change to the scope and description of the US 1 widening project in South Indian River County. The proposed amendment modifies the project limits

!':\Community Devdopmcnt\U5crsiMPO\McctillVIMP0\2010\12·08·10\TIP Roll·forward Amcndmcnl!l.doc 1

from "North of Highlands Drive to St. Lucie County" to "South of Highlands Drive to St. Lucie County." The change is being made to reflect the actual construction project limits.

The final TIP amendment is needed so that an FDOT -sponsored comprehensive safety program can begin in Indian River County Schools starting later this year. The program will include the purchase of safety equipment as well as in-class instruction.

Once approved by the MPO, the proposed TIP amendments will be forwarded to FDOT for inclusion in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Following inclusion in the STIP, FDOT District IV can begin the projects.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO consider the attached TIP amendments, approve the amendments, and authorize the chairman to sign the attached TIP amendment forms.

SUBJECT: Presentation by Indian River County Health Department on Walking School Buses



The Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST) is an FDOT-sponsored committee composed of local Planners, Engineers, Law Enforcement, and Education Professionals. At the November 18th, 2010 CTST meeting, representatives from the Indian River County Health Department presented the results of its recent Walking School Bus project to the CTST.

A Walking School Bus is an organized effort to encourage children to walk to school in a safe and supervised manner in order to eliminate concerns over safety and crime.

In one of the most successful Walking School Buses in the state, 83 children travel each day between Fellsmere Elementary School and the Boys and Girls Club in Fellsmere. The children travel with parental oversight and supervision to their destination each day, thereby eliminating transportation costs and providing an additional recreational opportunity. A similar effort is underway in the Gifford area in conjunction with the Indian River County Sheriffs Office.

At the December gth, 2010 MPO meeting, representatives from the Indian River County Health Department will present the results of its Walking School Bus project.

SUBJECT: Status Report on Florida High Speed Rail Grant Applications



At the October 28th, 2010 MPOAC meeting, Kevin Thibault, Executive Director of the Florida Rail Enterprise, provided a status report on Florida's 2010 High Speed Rail Program (HISPR) grant applications. During the presentation, he announced that two applications for high speed rail funds submitted to the Federal Rail Administration by FDOT received funding. He indicated, however, that the FEC Rail Corridor Amtrak project was not funded. A press release from US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, along with a link to the list of all funded projects, is contained in Attachment 1.

In the near term, the Florida projects that received funding will have substantial impacts on travel in the Central Florida region and could also benefit Indian River County over the long term. The projects funded in Florida were a study to select an Orlando to Miami High Speed Rail corridor; and construction of an Orlando to Tampa High Speed Rail System.

ANALYSIS

With respect to the Orlando to Miami High Speed Rail corridor study, FDOT received $8 million for a Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) study that will result in a preferred alignment for a proposed future rail line. In order to make high speed rail costeffective, any future high speed rail system will utilize available public rights-of-way. Therefore, FDOT has proposed that the new system utilize either Florida Turnpike rightof-way or SR 528 and I-95 right-of-way (Attachment 2). In addition to a preferred

F:ICommunity Dcvclopmcnt\U~crs\MPOIMcctingsiMP0\2010\12-0it·IOIHiSpccd Rail.doc

1

alignment, the High Speed Rail PD&E study will address issues such as the number and location of potential stations, operating speed, headways, and preferred rail technology.

An overview ofthe Orlando-to-Tampa High Speed Rail project is depicted in Attachment 3. The attachment also describes a number of unique aspects of the project. While construction of the project will be paid for by State and Federal funds, the system will be operated and maintained on a for-profit basis by the private sector and will require no ongoing public operations or maintenance subsidies. Also, the proposed project will operate at a top speed of 186 miles per hour, making it the first true high-speed rail project in North America. Finally, it is anticipated that the Design-Build-Operate contract will be awarded as early as 2011, and the system could be operational by 2014.

Public Demand for High-Speed Rail Continues to Exceed Available Dollars in Latest Round of Awards

WASHINGTON- U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced that 54 high-speed rail projects in 23 states will share in $2.4 billion to continue developing America's first nationwide program of high-speed intercity passenger rail service

The Department's Federal Railroad Administration received 132 applications from 32 states totaling . $8.8 billion, more than three times the $2.4 billion available. During the first round of awards in the fall of 2009, applicants submitted more than $55 billion in project proposals for the initial $8 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

"Demand for high-speed rail dollars is intense and it demonstrates just how important this historic initiative is," said Secretary LaHood. "States understand that high-speed rail represents a unique opportunity to create jobs, revitalize our manufacturing base, spur economic development and provide people with an environmentally friendly transportation option."

More than 30 rail manufacturers and suppliers, both domestic and foreign, have agreed to establish or expand their bases of operations in the United States if they are hired to build America's next generation high-speed lines, a commitment the Obama Administration secured to help ensure new jobs are created here at home.

Some award examples include:

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Announces $2.4 Billion for High Speed Rail... Page 2 of2

California received more than $901 million, including $715 million for the construction of new highspeed rail lines in the Central Valley. The state has made significant investments in passenger rail that have led to remarkable ridership growth; Florida received $800 million for the Tampa to Orlando high-speed rail corridor. The state's longterm vision is for a high-speed rail line that connects Tampa, Orlando, Miami and other communities; Iowa received $230 million to create a new intercity passenger rail service between Iowa City and Chicago through the Quad Cities. When completed, the service will form an integral part of the existing efforts to develop the Chicago Hub intercity rail system in the Midwest; and Michigan received $161 million for a high-speed rail corridor connecting Detroit and Chicago, the two largest cities in the Midwest. The long-term vision for this corridor includes doubling the number of daily round trips between Detroit and Chicago.

The money is being awarded for a range of activities, such as construction of track and stations, purchase of new passenger equipment, and planning studies to develop new high-speed rail service.

"In the 20th century, our vision led to the interstate highway system," said FRA Administrator Joe Szabo. "In the 21st century, our vision will give us a world-class network of high-speed passenger rail corridors."

In addition to the $8 billion down payment from the Recovery Act, additional funding for high-speed rail has come from several sources. These include $95 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation's FY 2009 appropriations and remaining money from a related FY 2008 appropriations program, and from the Department's FY 2010 appropriations, which included at least $2.125 billion for high-speed rail service development programs, $245 million for individual projects and $50 million for planning and multi-state proposal activities.

Fast Facts - Florida High Speed Rail

Fast Facts

Background

Florida has a long

history with HSR. Florida has been studying

high speed rail

since 1976. Our

flat terrain, high growth rates, large

numbers of tourists

and distance between our major

cities are ideal for HSR. In 1992,

President Bush selected Tampa

Orlando-Miami as one of the nation's

first federally

designated HSR

corridors.

In April 2009, the federal government unveiled A New Vision for High Speed

Rail in America that called for new investments in intercity passenger rail. This includes a commitment of $11.5 billion in federal funding over a three-year

period.

On October 2, 2009, Florida Governor Charlie Crist applied for funding to build

the Tampa-Orlando line. On January 28, 2010, President Obama announced Florida was awarded $1.25 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

funds to start construction of the Tampa-Orlando leg of the federally designated Tampa-Orlando-Miami HSR corridor.

The federal government announced on June 28, 2010, a new round of

competition for $2.1 billion for HSR systems. Florida applied for $1.12 billion of

these funds, which would largely complete the capital funding program for the Tampa-Orlando HSR project. The federal government expects to announce

these awards later in 2010.

Tampa-Orlando Basics

Phase 1 of Florida's high speed rail program extends from Orlando International

Airport to downtown Tampa.

The Tampa-Orlando line will run 84 miles from downtown Tampa to Orlando

International Airport. The cost to build this line is projected to be $2.7 billion. The

project will be built in the median of Interstate 4, where a 44-foot envelope has been preserved for this purpose. Right of way was preserved in the 1990s, and

bridges were built higher and wider to accommodate high speed trains. Other portions of the project outside the 1-4 corridor will primarily follow existing public rights of way. Design is not complete on the corridor, but these are early aerial

views of the proposed rail alignments and below is a sketch of the 1-4

configuration.

Our initial projection is that run time between Tampa and Orlando with station

stops would be about 55 minutes. These times are based on year 2004 high

speed train technologies, which have since improved performance. The time travel chart for 2004 technologies between all stations is shown below. These

travel times may be reduced depending upon station stops, final rail line geometry and the final selected technology. Express trips between Tampa and

OIA would be even less, with the current express trip travel time estimated to be under 50 minutes.

Funding High Speed Rail ·············-········-·--·-···-····-········-FDOT's financial plan for HSR assumes approximately $2.2 billion of the

projected $2.7 billion cost will come from federal funding, with the balance coming from a combination of state and private sources. State funding would

come from the Florida Rail Enterprise fund established by the Florida Legislature

in 2009. FDOT further projects and expects the private sector operator of the system will pay all operating costs from system operating revenues.

Ridership Forecasts

Two independent ridership forecasts were conducted in 2002 and updated with more recent demographic information in 2009. The forecasts estimates

approximately 2.4 million riders will use the system in its first year of operation.

Forecasts were based upon ticket prices ranging between $15 and $30 for a one

way ticket between Tampa and Orlando International Airport (OIA) depending upon the nature of the trip and frequency of the ticket purchases. Revenues are

projected to be approximately $49 million in the first year of operation. The FDOT will be performing updated market and ridership surveys in 2010.

Technology -······················-········

Florida will select an existing high speed rail technology for this service. The

trains in this corridor will operate at speeds of at least 168 mph, though speeds will be less along portions of the corridor because of curves, grades and station

stops. The technology options are plentiful, with more than 7,800 miles of high

speed rail service in more than a dozen countries.

Stations & HSR Connections ....................................... , ............. ,_,,, ....... ·········-······ ···········-··················-····· Florida is planning five HSR stations along the Tampa-Orlando corridor. All stations will feature parking and

facilities and will have a full set of rail passenger services available. Each station also will have air conditioned waiting areas and convenience services for ticketed passengers.

The Tampa-Orlando line will have strong connectivity with existing road, bus and transit systems. For example, plans at OIA call for HSR to stop at a new southern

terminal, which it would share with a proposed extension of Sun Rail and a future light rail system. The International Drive stop is located at the southern end of the

1-Ride trolley route and is served by Lynx. The Lakeland station will be served

directly by the Citrus Connection. The Tampa station is at the north end of the

HART bus transit mall. Proposed light rail service in Tampa would run directly to the HSR station.

Building High Speed Rail ............................... ,,,_,,,,, .................................................................................. ,,,,,,,_, __ _

FOOT, through the Florida Rail Enterprise (FRE), is responsible for building the project with oversight by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

Project construction will likely occur in two phases. The first phase on the Tampa

to Orlando segment is a proposed Early Works Project, which is expected to begin in early 2011.

FOOT also is planning to solicit bids for the main part of the project early next

year. Private firms will be asked to submit bids to complete the design of the

system, then build, operate and maintain it. This is known as a design, build, operate, maintain and finance, or DBOM/F. FOOT's goal is to secure firm

construction bids and have the private sector cover operating costs. FOOT

expects to select a DMBOM/F team in 2011. Construction is projected to start in late 2012, and system operation is expected to begin in 2015. These schedules

are subject to approval by the FRA.

You can go directly to the Procurement and Contracting section to learn more about the procurement process and how your company can be involved. In

addition, the FRE held a series of meetings for small businesses and

disadvantaged business enterprises in late AugusUearly September 2010. These will be followed by a major Industry Forum in November 2010 to

inform major vendors and subcontractors about the status of the project, gather final input from members of the industry prior to finalizing the procurement

FDOT also has started the evaluation of the costs and environmental impacts of

various alignments in the Miami-Orlando corridor, the first step toward moving

forward with this project. This planning work is expected to take approximately 30

months. FOOT has allocated $2 million to start this planning work in 2010. It also

has submitted a grant application for an additional $8 million from the FRA.

INTRODUCTION

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY


Quarterly Status Report July 1, 2010- September 30, 2010

This status report for the first quarter of FY 2010/2011 identifies the activities undertaken by the Indian River County MPO during the reporting period.

WORK PROGRAM STATUS

During the first quarter of FY 2010/2011, MPO staff completed various activities related to the approved UPWP. These are identified below.

• Task 1.1 - Program Management

From July 1, 2010 to September 30, 201 0, MPO staff undertook all applicable MPO program management functions. This involved general administration and financial management activities, as well as coordination with various local governments and with FDOT. Specific activities included:

attendance at two MPO meetings, one T AC meeting, two CAC meetings, and one BAC meeting. provision of technical assistance to the MPO, TAC, CAC and BAC. development of agendas, staff reports, and minutes for MPO, TAC, CAC and BAC meetings. attendance at one MPOAC advisory council meeting and one MPOAC policy subcommittee meeting. preparation of various MPO-related correspondence. supervision of MPO staff activities. coordination ofMPO activities with local governments and FDOT. maintenance ofthe MPO's web site. reproduction and distribution of the MPO newsletter, the MPOverview. circulation of orientation materials to new MPO and advisory board members. preparation of the quarterly progress report and the MPO's fourth invoice of2009/1 0.

• Task 1.2 - Program Development: UPWP

There were no activities related to this task completed during the quarter.

• Task 1.3 and Task 1.4

Progress Report for First Quarter FY 2010/11 Page I

These are FDOT tasks relating to support/match for the PL fund program and the Section 5303 program, respectively. No MPO activities are associated with these tasks.

• Task 1.5 - Training

During the quarter, MPO staff attended a workshop on transportation disadvantaged service coordination sponsored by the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged in Orlando, Florida. At that workshop, MPO staff participated in a discussion on obstacles to greater regional coordination and obtained information on upcoming legislation affecting TD services.

MPO staff also attended a Small and Medium-sized Urbanized Areas conference conducted by the Transportation Research Board and held in Williamsburg, Virginia. While at the conference, MPO staff obtained information on a variety of topics, including pending Air Quality standards and legislation affecting MPOs; costs/benefits evaluation techniques; travel demand modeling techniques; and public involvement trends.

• Task 1.6 - Public Involvement

During the reporting period, MPO staff responded to inquiries from citizens, local governments, business and community groups, and other parties about MPO plans, actions, and activities. Through attendance at various meetings and through written and verbal correspondence, staff provided informational and educational materials to the public.

Throughout the quarter, staff made the MPO's major plans, studies, and programs available for public distribution at a number of outlets, including the Indian River County Main Library, Sebastian Branch Library, and the Indian River County Community Development Department reception desk. In addition, MPO staff sent agenda materials and newsletters to the Brevard, St. Lucie, and Martin County MPOs.

Also throughout the quarter, staff maintained the MPO web site. That site is structured as part of the County's general web site. Among the regularly updated information items on the web site are meeting dates, agenda minutes, staff reports, newsletters, and other information. This web site also has MPO staff e-mail addresses.

During the first quarter of 2010111, a number of public involvement activities were conducted in conjunction with the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan update. For example, the MPO presented Draft Needs and Cost Affordable Plan networks to the Citizens Advisory Committee for review and comment. The MPO also held a series of public workshops to help set Goals and Objectives for the plan and to select Cost Feasible Plan project alternatives. Those workshops were attended by public officials, community organization representatives, citizens, and members of the Indian River County business community. The MPO also tabulated the results of surveys conducted earlier in the LRTP process.

Progress Report for First Quarter FY 2010/11 Page2

Early in the first quarter, staff published the MPO's first ever annual report. Developing the annual report required reviewing and analyzing transportation and demographic trends of the past year; writing report content; and developing a layout for the report. After publication of the report, MPO staff distributed the report to partner agencies and the general public.

Finally, MPO staff published and distributed the summer edition of its quarterly MPO newsletter. This newsletter edition addressed a variety of topics in Indian River County, with an emphasis on obtaining public input into the LRTP. To complete this task, MPO staff added to and maintained mailing lists of interested individuals and community representatives; wrote a number of articles pertaining to transportation activities in the county; designed a layout for the newsletter; and managed publication and mail out.

• Task 2.1- Land Use and Socioeconomic Data Analysis

During the quarter, MPO staff met with representatives from the Space Coast and St. Lucie TPOs and the Martin MPO and reviewed final socioeconomic data sets developed by those agencies. Staff also provided north county and Fellsmere area data to the Space Coast TPO for use in developing its LRTP. Finally, MPO staff reviewed demographic data from the Community Profile/Socio-Cultural Effects study for applicability to the LR TP network alternatives.
