50 midblock crossings

New speed feedback signs

Transportation Network

Transportation projects in Orange County have several sources:

Orange County Capital Improvements Program

- Funded by impact fees, gas taxes, state/federal grants

Florida Department of Transportation Work Program - Regional prioritization through MetroPlan Orlando

Public-private partnerships

Mobility Planning

Planning for both current and future needs Comprehensive Plan

- Goals, objectives, and policies for transportation/land use - Long Range Transportation Plan identifies needs

Orange County Code - Subdivision regulations

- Impact fees

Concurrency Management System - Database ensures roadway capacity available

- Code requires concurrent with new development

Mobility Planning

Mobility Planning

Goal to have transportation better reflect land use

Transportation plan historically roadway-focused

2011 legislation removed state mandates

Develop and implement a different approach More urban, multimodal, safer for pedestrians/bicyclists

Mobility Planning

Orange County Transportation Element of Comprehensive Plan

Multimodal roadways, connectivity

Concurrency

Alternative Mobility Area (Concurrency Exception)

Projects that Promote Public Transportation (Concurrency Exception)

Recent Zoning Code updates Pedestrian connectivity standards for development

Enhanced bicycle parking

Mobility Reviews of Proposed Development

Determine availability of transit service

using LYNX data

Assess availability of bus shelters, sidewalks, bicycle routes and other facilities, such as park and ride lots

Identify gaps in multimodal network

Best Foot Forward

Pedestrian Safety

Multimodal Corridor Plan

Make key State/County corridors more multimodal

Create Year 2040 network designed to leverage limited available funding

Coordinated plan to make investments

add most value

Now can fund operational (non-widening)

road projects with impact fees

Use road maintenance/resurfacing to add bike lanes, other features
