  1. ` Transportation’s Relation to Growth Management

  2. Introduction

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

  4. Why Are We Here Today? • Unprecedented Growth • Development Accelerating (historical) • Improvement Costs Skyrocketing • System Impacts • Roadway Congestion Increasing • Levels of Service Decreasing • Recent New Legal Requirements • Concurrency Management Systems • Proportionate Fair-Share Agreements • Congestion Management Systems

  5. Why Are We Here Today? • Spreading Growth • Continuing pressure in coastal areas • Increasing pressure in inland areas • Concurrency Requirements • Potential “push back” from developers • Transportation Funding Dilemma • FDOT emphasis on SIS • Increasing needs on entire system • What else can happen?

  6. A Solution • Cooperation • State and Local Government working toward a common objective • Consistency • State and Local Government are utilizing the same tools for analysis of studies

  7. Eight Different DOT Districts? • 11 Regional Planning Councils • 67 Counties • 400 + local governments • All with their own practices, regulations and long range plans • We are directed to coordinate with our local government peers

  8. FDOT and DCA Working Together DCA and FDOT will work cooperatively to develop any new or modified guidance for transportation issues. Implementation Action

  9. Purpose of the Workshop • Share information on new growth management and site impact issues • Make you aware of the methods and tools we have developed • Provide guidance on the use of these methods and tools

  10. Purpose of the Workshop To learn from youwhat we can do, to better assist you Share some GM issues still being discussed • We will NOTmake policy where there are still unanswered questions

  11. What We Won’tDo Now • Detailed training on • LOS computer programs • Trip Internalization Program (TIPS) • Modeling

  12. 2007 Changes • Transportation Concurrency • Pilot program to study multimodal transportation concurrency districts. • Local governments can establish transportation concurrency backlog authorities HB 985 Transportation

  13. 2007 Changes HB 7203 Growth Management • Comprehensive Plans & Financial Feasibility • Comp plans financially feasible” • Planning period in the Concurrency Management System for transportation & schools may be 10 or 15 years • Transportation Concurrency • Waiver of transportation concurrency in TCEA’s under certain conditions • Allows local government to establish Transportation Concurrency Backlog Authorities (also in HB 985) • Removes responsibility for backlog from proportionate-share • Proportionate fair-share may be used for “pipelining” • Public-Private Partnerships • Can advance projects outside the Work Program

  14. 2008 Legislation • SB 682 - Transportation (w/GM Impacts) • I-95 Parallel Corridor Study • Requires additional consideration for airports in the local Comprehensive Plan • Exempts certain Port projects from the DRI process • Provides some additional tools to Transportation Concurrency Backlog Authorities • Methodology for Internal Capture for Sustainable Developments Vetoed by Gov. Crist but will likely resurface in 2009

  15. 2008 Legislation SB 1706 - Growth Management • Extension for compliance for certain Substantial Deviations • Exempted certain Medical Research Facilities from DRI Review

  16. 2008 Legislation HB 697 (Building Code Standards) • Requires Comprehensive Plans to address climate change • Future Land Use Elements are to include green house gas reduction strategies • Traffic Circulation and Transportation Elements are to include strategies to reduce green house gas emissions from the transportation sector • DCA currently in process of rulemaking to amend rule 9J-5, FAC.

  17. 2007 – 2008 Legislation • Congestion relief on existing facilities is the priority • Improved link between growth management and transportation planning • We must include consideration of impacts of climate change

  18. What’s Next • Implementation of recent legislation • Potential changes to law and rules in the future

  19. All Public Roads (centerline miles) (State Highway System) SHS (Strategic Intermodal System) SIS ~120,000 ~12,000 ~4,300 The Big Picture(at least for highways)

  20. SIS Facts % traffic % trucks 67% 56%

  21. Example Agriculture Office/Commercial Mixed-Use Residential Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use City Center

  22. Who determines LOS standards? State Non-SIS Facilities Agriculture Local Road SIS Facility Office/Commercial Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use State Non-SIS Facilities Residential City Core

  23. DRI & Major Comp Plan Amendment Major DRI Agriculture Office/Commercial Mixed-Use Local Road SIS Facility Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use State Non-SIS Facilities Residential City Core

  24. DRI & Major Comp Plan Amendment Agriculture Office/Commercial Mixed-Use Local Road SIS Facility Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use State Non-SIS Facilities 100,000 sq ft distribution Center & Comp Plan Amendment Residential City Core

  25. Smaller Scale Comp Plan Amendment State Non-SIS Facilities 100,000 sq ft distribution Center Agriculture Local Road SIS Facility Office/Commercial Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use State Non-SIS Facilities Residential City Core

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

  27. Current Issues and Challenges • Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) based concurrency method • Two studies • FDOT VMT Methodology • University of Florida • DCA VMT Policy Application • Center for Urban Transportation Research

  28. BUCKLE Any Questions?
