Preface This Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) identifies the transportation planning activities

being conducted by the Florence Area Transportation Study (FLATS) Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO), which serves the Urbanized Florence Area in South Carolina. The planning

activities outlined in the UPWP are to be completed during each fiscal year beginning July 1st,

and ending June 30th. Florence County Planning Department, which provides staff support for

FLATS, has prepared this document, in consultation with the South Carolina Department of

Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and other agencies involved in transportation

planning and implementation. This document is also intended to comply with the Title VI

requirements contained in the Federal Regulations for the development of plans and programs.

Annual updates and amendments to the UPWP are performed as addressed in the Public

Participation Process Plan.

Additional information about FLATS planning activities is available at our website:

http://www.florenceco.org/planning/flats.htm or by contacting FLATS staff at the Florence

County Planning Department at (843) 676-8600.

Status of FY 2009 Planning Activities FLATS’ planning efforts in FY 2009 were primarily focused on updating the Land Use Element of

the County Comprehensive Plan. The updated Land Use Element was adopted by Florence

County Council on November 19, 2009. Throughout the process of updating the existing land

use map public input was gathered through the following ways:

• Eight meetings among municipal administration or staff,

• Thirteen public meetings throughout the County,

• Eight meetings among special interest groups,

• Eight meetings with individuals,

• Maps displayed at libraries and County office,

• Newspaper articles including an editorial, and

• County webpages, emails, blog posts, Facebook, Twitter.

Through the public outreach involved in developing the land use map, FLATS planning staff

successfully tripled in number the area groups and residents on the public contact list as

required in the FLATS Public Participation Plan that was adopted June 1, 2008. In addition to



newspaper ads and articles, and postings on county websites, e-mails and/or mail outs of

transportation related meeting or issues are sent to each individual on the contact list.

Updates were completed by FLATS planning staff to the Housing, Economic and Community

Facilities Elements and the Administrative Procedures for the Comprehensive Plan and adopted

by Planning Commission and County Council in FY2009.

FLATS planning staff prepared and submitted the FY2010 UPWP to the South Carolina

Department of Transportation during the last quarter of FY2009.

Due to recently updated national air quality standards, air quality has become a significant

focus in FY2009. Various meetings with DHEC, SC Forestry and County administration were

held to discuss potential County incentives. As a result, in an effort to improve air quality, a

rebate program for hybrid vehicle purchases and LEED home improvements was implemented.

FLATS planning staff managed and maintained these records as applications were submitted.

Staff began developing a tree preservation program meeting on a regular basis with a sub-

committee to develop appropriate language to be included in this program. FLATS planning

staff applied for and received a grant, which was utilized to have tree preservation brochures

printed for future use in going forward with this program. Staff presented an truck stop

electrification grant to be implemented at a local facility.

Staff assisted PDRTA in updating new bus stop routes. The bus stops and bus routes were

digitized in GIS before making the maps.

Staff began regular meetings with the Freight Community to discuss travel related issues.

In a stressed economy, staff began mapping foreclosures in our area to establish comparable

trends for future reference.

Status of FY 2010 Planning Activities FLATS planning staff began updating the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) with the

assistance of a third party consultant. Multi-modal travel and connectivity were the primary foci

in developing the 2035 FLATS LRTP. A Transportation Plan Advisory Committee (TPAC) was

formed to provide input in the development of this document. The TPAC included individuals

with expertise in the public transit, environmental, bicycle and pedestrian, real estate,

affordable housing, freight and ADA fields. The City of Florence’s Downtown Revitalization

Plan, Bicycle Master Plan and existing trails systems are included in this plan. The TPAC met and

numerous public input meetings were held during the year as updates were completed. A

transportation website was developed and updates posted. Notification of updates to the



website was sent to the FLATS contact lists as necessary. The draft of the updated LRTP will be

presented to the FLATS Study Team and Policy Committee by the end of FY2010.

FLATS planning staff began preparing the Transportation and Priority Investment Elements for

the Comprehensive Plan as required by State Statute during FY2010. The Transportation

Element will be prepared in relation to the adopted land use element. It will address interaction

of multi-modal forms of transportation and increase efficiency of natural resource use.

Staff has been assisting the City of Florence as requested with their Comprehensive Plan and

transportation enhancement grants.

Introduction The Florence Area Transportation Study (FLATS) is the metropolitan planning organization

(MPO) servicing a population of 85,324 (US Census 2000) from two member municipalities

within two counties. The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) outlines the activities that the

FLATS will undertake in FY 20111 using funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)

and Florence County. In total, FLATS is allocated a total of $200,936 ($166,600 in Planning and

Transit, PL/FTA, allocations with $34,336 in carryover funds) through bill H.R. 2847, a law

continuing SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A

Legacy for Users) funding through the 2010 calendar year. A total of $251,170 in planning funds

are allocated into three categories (described below) with $200,936 being federally funded and

the 20% or $50,234 local matching amount from Florence County. The overall goal for this term

is to minimize administrative costs while focusing on public participation and traffic congestion

modeling.

Three categories are included in the UPWP: (A) Program Administration, (B) Surveillance, and

(C) Documentation and Analysis. Within each category, the objectives, methodology, products

and anticipated milestones are outlined for each activity as well as the anticipated level of

staffing and funding that will be utilized. Milestone periods may be specified by quarters2. The

fourth section includes tables and appendices to this document.

1 July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011: Based on the State and County fiscal year period; conversely, the

Federal fiscal year is October 1 – September 30 2 Quarters of the fiscal year are designated as the following periods: first: July 1 – September

30; second: October 1 – December 31; third: January 1 – March 31 and fourth: April 1 – June 30



SAFETEA-LU is the federal law that directs transportation planning actions (Titles 23 and 49,

United States Code). FLATS adopted the eight Planning Emphasis Areas described under this law

into transportation planning in the FLATS jurisdiction. The UPWP describes the specific tasks for

FLATS for FY 2011 pursuant to these PEA’s.

The FLATS program strives to include local officials, business owners and citizens input into the

decisions directing expenditures of transportation funds within the urban area of Florence,

South Carolina (map, page 5.) Any major road project or transit project that takes place in this

area utilizing federal funds must be considered and approved by the FLATS Policy Committee.

FLATS continues to coordinate with local transportation interests and long-term planning

partners including the Pee Dee Council of Governments, Pee Dee Regional Transportation

Authority, local governments within the FLATS area as well as members of the public.

Policy Committee The FLATS Policy Committee is the decision-making body that transacts the business to develop

FLATS in accordance with State and Federal laws and regulations. The FLATS Policy Committee

consists of the following voting members:

Councilman, Florence County

in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the annually updated financial document

reporting FLATS projecting expenditures for the next three years.

Efforts are made to give the public an opportunity to have input in the transportation planning

process. A wide range of people, including agencies, community groups, individuals, and the

media, are notified of the meetings. The Florence County Planning Department provides the

staff work for FLATS and is available to assist the public with transportation questions. Please

refer to page 12, A-2 Public Participation for more information.

Planning Emphasis Factors FLATS will continue to incorporate the following Planning Emphasis Areas into the program

(U.S. Code Title 23 Section 134 (f)(1)(A-G) and Title 49 Section 5303 (b)(1)(A-G)):

1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global

competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency;

2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized

users;

3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized

users;

4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight;

5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the

quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and

State and local planned growth and economic development patterns;

6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and

between modes, for people and freight;

7. Promote efficient system management and operation, and;

8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.

Throughout this UPWP, these factors will be referenced under individual methodology as well

as matched to corresponding tasks (including a page number reference) outlined in this UPWP

A. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

A-1 Administration Objective:

To administer the transportation planning program in the FLATS area, including coordinating all

activities of the Policy Committee and Study Team, developing narrative reports for citizens and

public/private agencies, and providing liaison activities among government agencies and the

public. Other administrative activities include preparing narrative and expenditure reports,

maintaining financial accountability including an annual report, keeping routine

correspondence, and preparing and retaining information related to billing and training.

Methodology (includes schedule of milestones after each work task):

Enhancement of Planning Factors 2 and 3

Staff will provide the FLATS Policy Committee and Study Team with the administrative work

needed to effectively operate as an MPO. In addition to this administrative work, staff will

continue to provide technical assistance to these groups in the development of the UPWP and

TIP. Staff will also work with these groups on programming and project maintenance

throughout the year. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will maintain records, including correspondence with citizens, of all FLATS activities

including committee meetings. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will continue to provide citizens, developers, consultants and government agencies with

information on items such as traffic reviews, elements of design, development of grant

applications and public transportation. As requested, staff will be available to speak at public

meetings to provide opportunities for the public to discuss transportation related issues.

Continuous throughout fiscal year.

The UPWP will be distributed to public officials to inform them of planning activities and costs

associated with FY 2011. Any changes to the Long Range Transportation Plan or TIP will also be

distributed to public officials, placed on the Florence County website, and the Florence County

Blog. First quarter; changes posted continuously as needed.

As SCDOT updates the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP), FLATS will continue

to work with them in its development. Also, in order to be consistent with growth and

development in the region and State, FLATS will continue to work with officials on various



planning projects, including the one-cent sales tax projects currently funded by the State

Infrastructure Bank. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

As in previous years, before publishing any Requests for Proposals (RFP’s) for consulting

services, SCDOT will be presented with the information for review and approval. Also, all funds

administered by SCDOT, regardless of source, will continue to be subject to the provisions of

the OMB Circular A-133, the Single Audit Act. Continuous throughout fiscal year as needed or

required.

Staff will continue to work on various safety and security issues throughout the FLATS area. To

assist with the safety of our transportation system, staff will continue to notify and remain in

contact with emergency personnel about meetings and development of documents and send

the County and City of Florence Sheriff notices of meetings. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

As a vector to continue implementing the 2004 Florence Area Bikeway Master Plan, staff will

continue to administer the Trails Committee meetings by providing the meeting place,

organizing the agenda, liaising among members, meeting with other trails groups and other

duties as appropriate. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

In order to continue improving its technical capacity, staff may attend various training sessions

and seminars on urban transportation planning in order to stay abreast of changing regulations

and transportation technologies. Staff will also continue to review transportation related

circulars and newsletters. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Recent funding changes demand close attention. The federal program for funding FLATS and

other MPO’s, SAFETEA-LU, was to expire in FY2010. SAFETEA-LU funding will continue through

the 2010 calendar year as a result of H.R. 2847. FLATS staff will continue to monitor

development of the next transportation planning funding initiative and will anticipate a

performance-based project funding allocation. In addition, FLATS staff will continue to monitor

opportunities to utilize ‘stimulus funding’ in accordance with State and Federal requirements.

Products:

Minutes from all meetings, resolutions, agreements, reports, and other records of FLATS

activities will be produced and maintained as necessary. The UPWP will be published in addition

to any other required documents. Copies of written correspondence concerning FLATS or other

transportation related activities with citizens, local governments, developers, and other

agencies will be maintained to provide a record of the yearly activities. New staff members may



be hired, furniture/computers/software for new and existing FLATS staff may be purchased,

and travel/training expenses may be incurred.

A-2 Public Participation Objective:

Present a system to inform and involve individuals and agencies/groups of transportation

planning efforts and the development of transportation plans in the FLATS area.

Previous Work:

The FLATS Public Participation Plan was adopted by the Policy Committee in FY2009. This plan

remained on display for public comment for 45 days. The periodic review will begin again in

FY2011 in line with a two-year cycle to ensure that the program is functioning as an effective

method for public involvement for all.

Groups and individuals interested in transportation planning continue to be added to the FLATS

mailing list for Policy Committee meetings. Additionally, several have been added to the email

list for Trails Committee meetings. The FLATS Freight Study group continues to meet and

discuss the latest freight traffic issues. Members of the FLATS staff have also attended pertinent

community meetings and met with representatives of these groups as needed.

FLATS staff has built and continue to develop the Florence County Planning Blog

(www.florenceco.blogspot.com) to facilitate information sharing. In addition, Facebook and

Twitter accounts were added to offer additional paths of communication. In preparation of the

LRTP, staff developed and continues to maintain the Florence County transportation website.





One of the FLATS goals is to provide the public with information in many aspects. Staff will

initiate contact with citizens, affected public agencies, representatives of public transportation

employees, freight shippers, providers of freight transportation services, private providers of

transportation, representatives of users of public transportation, representatives of users of

pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities, representatives of the disabled, and

other interested parties regarding transportation planning in the FLATS area. Continuous

throughout fiscal year.

As part of this effort, staff will continue to host the Florence Area Trails Committee, which

citizens are invited to attend. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will work with SCDOT to update the public participation process to identify all required

stakeholders according to SAFETEA-LU and following legislation. Continuous throughout fiscal

year.

Due to the importance placed on public involvement in SAFETEA-LU and as public involvement

is central to good decision-making, staff will update the Public Participation Plan. The Public

Participation Plan will be updated this fiscal year and level of public participation will be

reported regularly.

As the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) is updated and amended, a report detailing this

information will be developed and provided for public comment period(s) as required by

federal law and in accordance to the Public Participation Plan. Continuous throughout fiscal

year as necessary.

FLATS will also continue to update and add documents and transportation planning information

to the Florence County websites. These websites will provide the public with an additional

means to access and comment on the transportation plans. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

FLATS will send out a newsletter explaining the MPO concept as well as other important aspects

of transportation, including project timelines. At least one new issue every fiscal year.

In addition to the newsletter, staff will mail by post, e-mail, blog or create an event on

Facebook for meeting notices and related information. In addition, FLATS staff will advertise



meetings and information through the newspaper and website. Continuous throughout fiscal

year.

A record of public involvement will continue to be maintained. Continuous throughout fiscal

year.

The Public Participation Plan directs the following actions:

• The public involvement process will be on public display in the Florence County Planning

Department for 45 days prior to its adoption. Its availability will be advertised in a local

newspaper of general circulation, posted on the Florence County website and County

Blog and notice sent to FLATS stakeholders and distribution list contacts.

• The existing mailing list for the FLATS Policy Committee meetings will be reviewed

regularly and expanded to insure that newly discovered segments of the population are

given notice of the meetings of both of these groups at least one week prior to the

meetings. Some of the groups to receive notice of the meetings will include but not be

limited to affected public agencies, representatives of transportation agency employees,

private providers of transportation, other interested parties and segments of the

community affected by transportation plans programs, and projects. The mailing list is

included as part of this plan.

• All technical and policy information used in the development of plans will be available

for public inspection upon written request to the FLATS staff. These requests can be

submitted to the following address:

Florence Area Transportation Study

Florence County Department of Planning, Engineering, Building Inspection &

Code Enforcement

518 South Irby Street

Florence, South Carolina 29501

• Before any key transportation decisions are made by the FLATS Policy Committee or

before the Policy Committee votes on a change to the Transportation Improvement

Program (TIP) a public notice will be placed in a newspaper of local circulation, posted

on the County Government website and County Blog and notice sent to FLATS

stakeholders and distribution list contacts stating that the Program will be available for

public viewing and comment for at least 10 days. If proposals are made by the Policy

Committee to change significantly any part of the Program from that which the public

reviewed, then the same process will be done to allow for comments before the

Program is finalized.



• Representatives from minority groups and low-income groups will be included on the

mailing lists for the FLATS Policy Committee meetings. These mailings will encourage

them to attend the meetings and give their input to the planning process.

• If there are a significant number of comments on the TIP or any of the plans being

considered for approval by the FLATS Policy Committee, a summary, analysis, and report

on the disposition of comments shall be made part of the final plan and TIP.

• This process will be coordinated with the state public involvement process to avoid

redundancies.

• From time to time, the FLATS Policy Committee will review this public participation

process, examining the numbers of people and groups that have become involved in the

planning process and the numbers of comments that are made, to insure that everyone

who so desires is allowed to offer their opinions on transportation planning issues in the

Florence metropolitan area.

• Someone will be identified who can assist FLATS staff with communicating with non-

English speaking persons. Significant population concentrations of non-English speaking

persons will be identified using 2010 Census data. If there is a FLATS project that will

have an impact on that area, staff will prepare to assist those persons.

Products:

The County Planning Department will make available any information on the planning process

that may be of interest to any persons or groups that request it. The mailing list will be updated

accordingly. The Public Participation Process will also be updated.

A-3 Transportation Enhancement Program

Objective:

To maintain the process for selecting enhancement projects to be included in the

Transportation Enhancement Program and to be a liaison between the grant recipients and

SCDOT.

Previous Work:

The Lucas Street Gateway project proposed by the City of Florence was approved by the FLATS

Committee for FY2007 enhancement funds. The renovation of the Red Doe Plantation

proposed by Florence County was approved for FY2008 funds and the Irby Street Gateway

project proposed by the City of Florence was approved for the FY2009 funds. All three projects

continue to be active. Allocation of FY2010 enhancement funds was postponed by the Policy

Committee (February 19, 2010) until after the completion of the LRTP.

In September of 2008, the Federal Highway Administration advised SCDOT of a required

modification to insure compliance with state and federal. A Local Public Agency (LPA)

designation was created to provide criteria to grade the ability of local governments to

administer enhancement grant funds. All enhancement projects were suspended until required

modifications were met.



FLATS staff will send notices to potential applicants for the upcoming funding cycle of

enhancements. Eligible applicants that may receive enhancement funds are local governments

in the FLATS area including Florence County, Darlington County, the City of Florence and the

Town of Quinby. If projects are submitted for funding under the current enhancement cycle,

the Enhancement Committee (currently the FLATS Study Team) will meet to review the

applications and make recommendations to the Policy Committee, which will then meet to

consider the choices and make recommendations to SCDOT. The applicants will be asked to

consider projects that satisfy the full use of the available enhancement funds. Sidewalks, for

example, can be developed, especially around schools, as a large project or as a series of small,

incremental projects. As directed by the Policy Committee.



Before these projects are approved by the Policy Committee, the public will have an

opportunity to review these projects in advance of decision-making and have the chance to

comment on the projects proposed. Continuous throughout the fiscal year.

After grants have been awarded, the FLATS staff will work with the applicant and SCDOT on the

items listed in the Transportation Enhancement Program guidelines. As needed throughout the

fiscal year.

Product:

The enhancement projects that are selected will be listed in the TIP. The projects that are

considered and information on these projects will be available from the FLATS staff at any time

during the planning process.

B. Surveillance

B-1 Mapping Objective:

To provide a visual instrument that identifies areas of study and provides a detailed tool for

planning and analysis within the FLATS area.

Previous Work:

County building permits have been spatially tracked since May 2006. In addition, FLATS staff

maintained accurate road maps and bus routes through GIS.



Foreclosures have been tracked by County staff from year 2006 to present. A map of the

various areas and charts for monthly and yearly comparison has been created. This information

has been forwarded to stakeholders and posted on the Florence County blog and referenced on

Facebook and Twitter.

Staff prepared new and revised route and bus stop location maps for the local transit agency,

Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority. Staff met with PDRTA and marked locations,

utilizing Pictometry aerials, of new bus stop signs. In addition to their regular route maps, staff

created special holiday route maps.

Staff created new and updated existing GIS information as necessary for consultant as

requested for their use in creating maps for the LRTP. Furthermore, a Florence Transportation

Plan website was developed to share this information with the Study Team, Policy Committee

and stakeholders.

Staff updated the Florence County Comprehensive Plan land use element as required by State

law. The existing county-wide land use map was reviewed and land use designations updated to

reflect existing, recent development activity and expectations for future growth. FEMA flood

data was incorporated to create the flood hazard district designation, taking into consideration

insurance rate premiums if development is done in these areas. Numerous additional maps

were created to show specific existing land uses in the Florence area.


Enhancement of Planning Factors 2, 3 and 7

Staff will continue to work with the Assessor’s Office, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Department and Engineering Division to maintain an accurate centerline and parcel map, which

is critical in the efficient and effective tracking of trend data in the FLATS area. As new roads are

proposed in the area, staff will verify the road for an accurate placement utilizing GPS and

include attribute data, such as road surface type and bridge location. This data will also be

made available to emergency personnel, transit operators and other public entities to increase

the effectiveness of the transportation system. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

In addition, as new parcels are mapped and the parcel map maintained, various other features

can be improved. These features include creating an accurate zoning layer, developing

comprehensive plan maps for existing and future land use and mapping development in the

area. There are various databases that exist within this information that must also be



maintained, including a file of major points of interest, which is useful in the location of retail

development, school, subdivisions, and industry. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Work also continues on the development of our data so that GIS becomes an integrated system

among County departments. This work will improve the quality, speed, and uniformity of our

data as well as our ability to use the data to plan for growth in the transportation network.


Staff is also involved in the production of maps that are used for transportation planning. Part

of this process includes the maintenance and purchase of software and licensing. As has been in

the past, this software can be used for mapping and analysis of the socioeconomic data

collected in the FLATS network. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

The staff will also continue to update accurate address information. This project will involve

updating each address in our area. By using GIS, address information will be plotted in the

center of each parcel and then verified via ground-truthing. The data can also be matched to

the building site location using aerial photography which would again be followed by ground-

truthing as verification. After completion of this project and with the integration of future data,

staff will be able to track changes by address. This information can be used for updating,

plotting, and analyzing socioeconomic data for the FLATS transportation model. This data has

already been used to assist the census in the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) project.

Through this project, the data made available to the census will help increase the accuracy of

the federal data products and lead to better transportation planning data for FLATS through the

Census Transportation Planning Package. Furthermore, census and address data may be used

together to plan future transportation needs based on various demographics. Continuous


Staff will continue to track foreclosure trends, analyze clusters and may compare to statistics

such as distance driven to work, distance from center of town, distance from public transit and

socioeconomic trends. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will continue to assist PDRTA in updating their route maps. In addition, as new census

data is available, staff will assist PDRTA providing further GIS information to determine

locations where increased transit service may be needed for transit-dependent populations.

These populations include, but are not limited to elderly, disabilities, low income, those too

young to drive and those without access to a personal vehicle. Making transit an option for

both captive and choice ridership will hinge on land uses that make traveling by transit a viable



alternative to personal automobile use. Higher density and mixed-use development in the

downtown service area as well as around high-use bus stops will promote economic growth.


Staff will research data and conduct studies to begin a congestion model for the FLATS area.

Congestion modeling considers locations of high traffic by integrating information such as

employment, business types, residential density and speed and TAZ’s. The completion of the

2011 Census data will have potential updates to be utilized. Upon availability of data.

Staff will continue to explore ways in which GIS can be applied to enhance stakeholder

involvement in transportation projects. One avenue to achieve this goal is by utilizing

CommunityViz GIS software to create scenarios comparing land use, natural resource

management and transportation amenities. Scenarios will be used to consider future land use

alternatives, to quantify impacts that might result from those alternatives, and to visualize their

impacts. As required.

Product:

The County Planning Department and GIS Department will maintain digital data as described

above. Staff will produce maps to be used by the planning staff for land use and trend analysis.

County-wide address and roads databases will continuously be maintained. Bus routes will be

continuously updated and altered for highest efficiency. Foreclosure statistical reports and

maps will continuously be provided to stakeholders.

B-2 Air Quality Surveillance Objective:



Track current Federal and State legislation and ozone levels in air quality for the FLATS area in

an effort to maintain compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Air

Quality Standards.

Previous Work:

In March of 2009, Florence County proposed a Hybrid Vehicle Rebate Program to help promote

air quality improvement initiatives and to promote public discussion and awareness of

challenges to air quality. Any Florence County resident who met the eligibility criteria of the

program could receive a rebate. Staff managed this program and as of March 2010, nine

rebates have been issued to Florence area residents.

Florence County also proposed a Home Improvement Rebate Program for limited home

improvements. This program focused on power generation (solar and wind), primary heat

source replacement from wood burning systems and green construction projects that met LEED

or EarthCraft certifications. Staff managed this program. No applications have been received

for this program as of March 2010.

In April 2009, Staff approached the local truck stop closest to the Pee Dee area monitor to

propose electrifying the facility to reduce diesel emissions. A Federal grant was available for

assistance; however, the manager of the facility was not interested.

In January 2008 Florence County applied for and received a state Community and Urban

Forestry grant to begin developing a tree preservation program. Staff brought together

stakeholders to draft a policy. Individual stakeholder meetings were also held for input.


Enhancement of Planning Factors 1, 5, 7 and 8

Staff will continue offering the hybrid and home improvement programs as funding is permitted

by Florence County Council. Continuous as available.

Staff will continue to research grants and other assistance available for diesel emission

reduction projects, retrofits, idle reduction technologies, cleaner fuel use, engine repowers,

upgrades, and for vehicle and equipment upgrades. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will continue to develop the tree preservation program including hosting public and group

meetings with entities that would be directly affected. The initial purpose of these meetings will

be to educate on EPA’s proposal to strengthen the national ambient air quality standards for



ground-level ozone and the potential consequences should the FLATS area become non-

attainment. Other purposes for these meeting include, but are not limited to gather input on

proposed requirements within the policy and to explain benefits of preserving and/or planting

trees. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Product:

Through the efforts of public and group meetings, staff will prepare a tree preservation

program including a draft policy and public presentation material.

Should the FLATS area be declared a nonattainment area, staff will be required to demonstrate,

through regional emissions analysis, that the estimated on-road motor vehicle emissions of

projects included in the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) from which the three-year TIP is

drawn will be less than the allowable estimated on-road motor vehicle emissions listed in the

STIP.

If the FLATS area cannot show that the planned projects will allow the area to meet or be less

than the emission levels required then shall be required to modify its TIP and LRTP by removing

projects or adding other controls or programs until emission requirements are met. Failure to

comply can result in freezing of all federal funds (both FHWA and FTA) and possibly more

severe restrictions.

B-3 Traffic Surveillance Objective:



Monitor the highway system and collect travel data such as volume and direction of traffic,

turning direction, and lane of travel. Improve efficiency, reliability, safety, security, and volume

affecting the movement of traffic including freight in the FLATS area.

Previous Work:

The annual count program information is available to the county Planning Department from

SCDOT. Staff has participated in various traffic-related meetings and continues to use the data

to complete traffic reviews for various projects.

In preparation for updating the LRTP, staff manually performed a traffic count project at the

Five-Points Intersection. The counts were taken in 15 minute intervals from 7:00 am – 9:00 am

and 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm.

Staff met with the local SCDOT engineer to request an assessment on signalization timing for

Irby Street from Third Loop Road to Lucas/State Hwy 52. Irby Street was considered as one of

the major corridors leading to the urban area and subject to significant discussion at LRTP

public meetings. Alleviation of congestion and beautification were the most discussed topics for

this road.

In preparation for the freight portion for the LRTP update, staff mailed a freight survey to local

freight and freight service companies. The freight survey was developed to address specific

usage needs of the road network, rail lines and airport. A freight stakeholder meeting was also

planned to receive specific industry input. Furthermore, staff shared an area map with local

freight and freight service companies requesting company drivers and colleagues to mark

specific problem areas that affect their business.

Methodology (includes schedule of milestone after each work task):

Enhancement of Planning Factors 2, 3 and 7

As traffic counts are continuously collected for our area by SCDOT, staff will continue to

incorporate these counts into maps and traffic reviews for projects. These traffic reviews

incorporate SCDOT traffic counts and provide information to assess levels of service and

function of roadways. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

A key requirement of SCDOT in order to receive funding through the proposed federal Freight

Improvement Program is the development of a statewide freight model and Statewide Freight

Plan. SCDOT has acquired the Transearch statewide freight database from HIS Global Insight.



The steps required are also consistent with the Planning Factors identified in SAFETEA-LU and

codified in 23 USC § 134.

Because of the opportunity for MPO’s to share this data and to allow for customization at the

regional level to address similar regional freight planning needs, FLATS staff will request full

data sharing rights for this new statewide Transearch database. Staff will utilize the database as

a planning tool to analyze current and future freight flows by origin, destination, commodity,

and transport mode. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will increase collection and study data on congested areas in support of anticipated

congestion modeling capabilities. Staff will continue coordinating with the local SCDOT office to

review the timing of signalization on streets with congestion issues. Continuous throughout

fiscal year.

Implementation and testing effectiveness of updates completed from the LRTP. Upon project

completion.

Staff will continue to collect information from local freight and freight service companies

through origin/destination surveys and interviews to: identify and access existing and future

freight movement and regional infrastructure for all modes; identify regional freight needs and

challenges; facilitate a task force of stakeholders; determine freight capacity of major routes;

collect data from freight stakeholders through origin/destination surveys and interviews;

compile a comprehensive freight transportation profile including origin/destination, modal

shares, and interregional and intraregional freight flows. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Develop a comprehensive local freight movement model utilizing these objectives: identify

regional freight corridors or networks critical to freight movement in the region, focusing on

road network, and their significance to state, federal and global freight networks; map future

primary freight routes; quantify economic significance of freight in the region; quantify

environmental and social impacts related to freight movement; development freight-supported

land use guidelines; identify potential short-term and long-term freight improvement projects;

recommend potential infrastructure improvement projects to facilitate efficient movement of

goods in the region. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Other Products:

As growth occurs throughout our area and as traffic patterns change, staff will continue to

produce traffic reviews on development projects. This information will also be used to update



and provide information for the long range plan as updates are needed. In addition, these

counts will be made available as requested by the public.

C. Documentation and Analysis

C-1 Development and Maintenance Objective:

Maintain the FLATS program by developing the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP, this

document), Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), and the Long Range Transportation Plan in

compliance with federal regulations as they relate to metropolitan transportation planning. In

addition and as needed, staff will update Florence County’s Comprehensive Plan including the

Land use, Transportation and Priority Investment Areas elements.

Previous Work:

The LRTP was updated in FY 2010. The UPWP and TIP have continued to be updated.

A consultant was approved by the FLATS Committee to assist staff in updating the LRTP. Staff

compiled a steering group consisting of FLATS stakeholders to include environmental,

alternative transportation, freight community, realtor community, state and federal

representatives, and city and county officials. Furthermore, the LRTP was also prepared to

integrate the state requirements of Act 114.

Public workshops were held at intervals during the planning process for public input. Public

notices for workshops were placed in the local newspaper, placed on the County website, and

County blog. A transportation website specifically was developed by staff for updates to the



LRTP. In addition, FLATS stakeholders and distribution list contacts were notified via e-mail with

workshop dates. Furthermore, as new plan updates were added to the transportation website,

FLATS stakeholders and distribution list contacts were notified for their review and comment.

Staff attended a Title VI Training and Unified Certification Partnering meeting which included

information essential to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. This training

was hosted by SCDOT, in conjunction with the FHWA. The training was designed for sub-

recipients of Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration financial

assistance. Periodic Title VI compliance reviews to recipients of the above mentioned financial

assistance will be conducted. As a result of the training, staff has reviewed and updated the

requirements for Title VI compliance.


Enhancement of Planning Factors 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8

Updates to the TIP and UPWP will be presented to the FLATS Policy Committee for approval.

The methodology of updating the FLATS LRTP will be evaluated by the FLATS Study Team and

recommended to the Policy Committee prior to the end of FY2010. This plan will remain on

display for public comment for 30 days. Revisions may be needed to improve the quality of

transportation planning in our area based on new information or to update the plans based on

new regulations. TIP and UPWP will be updated as needed.

As a method of maintaining and increasing the use of the existing transportation system, staff

will work with the Florence Area Trails Committee to promote multi-modal transportation to

our current and developing network. Working with this committee will also help to increase

the accessibility and mobility of people in the FLATS area. One of the goals of this committee is

to enhance the role of bicycle and pedestrian facilities in our network. Staff will continue to

lead this committee, feature the meeting calendar on the Florence County website, and

promote use of alternative forms of transportation. Throughout this process, the accessibility

and mobility for citizens of Florence may be increased due to additional forms of community

connectivity. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

FLATS will continue to comply with the Title VI requirements contained in the federal

regulations in the development of the plans and programs (42 U.S.C. Section 2000d). In the

event that a Title VI complaint is received, FLATS will acknowledgement and log the complaint,

forward the complaint to SCDOT and address the concern appropriately. Staff may continue to

propose additional steps in the public involvement plan that will identify strategies to reach

minorities and other low-income groups in addition to ways to engage other underrepresented



populations. The staff will also continue to supply news releases of Policy Committee Meetings

to agencies that have contact with low-income and minority groups. This will include, but not

be limited to, maintaining and attempting to expand the mailing list of such agencies.


Staff will continue to comply with the DBE to the extent authorized by federal law. These

compliances are stated in the Civil Rights Section 12 of the FTA Master Agreement.


Staff will also continue to work with SCDOT on the statewide plan as it relates to freight. As this

plan develops, staff can use the plan when considering future projects. Also, by identifying

freight transportation providers and including them in our mailings, participation may be

increased. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

As needed, staff may also work with consultants on network improvement studies. These

studies would involve investigating key problem areas, including intersections, and finding cost

effective ways to improve traffic conduction. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will also provide the results and communicate to the public about the comprehensive plan

update (C-1) to the Florence County Economic Development Partnership in order to help track

growth and future development trends. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Product:

Staff will produce the UPWP, TIP, and produce other documents including the long range plan

and the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, staff will work as a team with the

consultant to update the long-range plan and cooperate with its development and completion.

C-2 Socioeconomic and Land Use Data Objective: Gather and maintain data and information to be used in transportation planning.

Previous Work: Socioeconomic and land use data has been collected and maintained. Several

databases, including zoning and land use, have been created. Information such as the

applicant’s name, address, zoning district, and type of work is included in the zoning database.

This, as well as other information, has been used to direct traffic modeling. Land use maps have

also been produced for the existing and future use of land on a parcel by parcel basis. In the

previous fiscal year, FLATS underwent a significant change in the way data was collected,

managed, and developed.

In updating the future land use element, staff planned on the need to focus on city centers for

residential to reduce sprawl, lower VMT and take advantage of the public transit facilities.

Further concentration was on-road and sidewalk improvements, and in areas where they would

potentially be needed. Sustainability, quality of life, preserving natural resources, economic

growth and utilizing our manufactured and natural infrastructure were among many aspects

considered in the process to update the land use designations for future growth expectations.



According to federal regulations:

The degree of consideration and analysis of the factors should be based on the scale and

complexity of many issues, including transportation system development, land use,

employment, economic development, human and natural environment, and housing and

community development. Code of Federal Regulations: Title 23, Part 450, Subpart C, Sec. 450.306 (b)

While the FLATS area (see map on page 9) covers portions of Florence and Darlington counties,

development and land use throughout both counties affects the traffic and transportation

system in the FLATS area. Although Florence County is not responsible for comprehensive

planning for Darlington County, consideration of their plan in relation to the FLATS area is

useful. However, a full examination of each of the above quoted factors throughout Florence

County will be completed through the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Through this effort,

we will also continue to work with Census data. Continuous throughout fiscal year.



Staff will incorporate various aspects of transportation planning into each of the elements of

the comprehensive plan as described in the federal regulation. Continuous throughout fiscal

year.

SAFETEA-LU encourages the consultation and coordination “with planning officials responsible

for other types of planning activities affected by transportation”. The efforts made on the

comprehensive plan will help to achieve this goal in our area. Furthermore, staff will continue

to meet with planning officials to be updated on the latest planning activities. Continuous


Staff members will also be monitoring the transportation system throughout its development

including working on projects, such as the one-cent sales tax projects, that connect the FLATS

network to other areas in the county. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

SAFETEA-LU also places emphasis on recreational travel and tourism. By identifying

socioeconomic and land use points of interest in Florence County, such as historic sites and

parks, staff will promote recreation and tourism. Continuous throughout fiscal year and

highlighted more specifically in the comprehensive plan.

Building permit and development data will also be tracked. This task will allow the comparison

of past with future growth by analyzing Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs, see map on page 9). This

data will show residential growth from new subdivisions and commercial growth from new and

altered developments. Continuous throughout fiscal year; report developed in Fourth

Quarter.

FHWA encourages and supports scenario planning. Staff will actively use scenario planning with

CommunityViz software. This type planning will be used in an effort to understand the impacts

of growth, especially the relationship between transportation and the social, environmental

and economic development of regions. This relationship is a two-way street: growth and

development affect transportation performance, while transportation affects social,

environmental, and economic development.

Scenario planning highlights the major forces that may shape the future and identifies how the

various forces might interact, rather than attempting to predict one specific outlook. As a

result, regional decision makers are prepared to recognize various forces to make more

informed decisions in the present and be better able to adjust and strategize to meet

tomorrow's needs. As required.



The City of Florence, which is the center of the FLATS area, is currently writing their

comprehensive plan. FLATS staff will review major rezoning, subdivision, or other development

projects. Transportation and land use related projects funded through FLATS will coordinate

with their comprehensive plan. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Staff will increase their efforts to improve coordination between land use and freight planning

in an effort to preserve and enhance efficient and safe access and mobility for freight

transportation. These efforts can increase viable options for people to access opportunities,

goods, services, and other resources to improve the quality of their lives. Integrating land use

and transportation planning and development is just one of many assets of sustainable

communities and neighborhoods. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

Product:

Data from traffic analysis zones and from building permit databases will continue to be created

to track growth. An updated land use report will be maintained.

C-3 Public Transportation Planning Objective:

FLATS staff will assist PDRTA with GIS mapping and related services in a way that is useful and

beneficial to their needs.

Previous Work:

County GIS department periodically and updates the centerline coverage for the County as new

roads are developed. This information is supplied to PDRTA administration for their use. As



additional information is needed to comply with their Pee Dee Regional Transit Plan, and the

PDRTA Marketing Plan, staff will provide accordingly.

Staff continues to maintain an internet mapping website, which can be used to locate

addresses, find major buildings, identify subdivisions/industries, and pinpoint other landmarks.

This website also has road information, including surface type. Staff has continuously provided

mapping updates to PDRTA in order to develop new routes and identify ridership. In FY 2009,

staff provided county-wide maps of PDRTA’s new and updated routes to better serve the

public.



The chief provider of public transportation in the Florence area is PDRTA. Staff has direct

contact with this agency on a continual basis and will keep them apprised of project activities as

well as aide in PDRTA projects such as signage and facility planning as necessary. Continuous


Staff will continue to assist PDRTA with GIS mapping services to include the following:

Assist PDRTA in mapping routes and locating ridership. As part of this effort, we will not only

provide updated road/centerline information, but also economic development information to

assist in the expansion of their current services. By continuing to identify and map locations of

major industries, commercial centers, and residential areas, PRDTA may be able to develop

additional commuter routes and potentially identify multi-modal transportation options.


Providing population maps. By providing PDRTA with maps of identified populations, they may

be able to improve service and update their fixed routes and potentially add new services, stop

locations, and even a new transfer point. Continuous throughout fiscal year as a plan is

developed.

Assigning parcel-specific addresses. As part of GIS, staff will work to assign an address to each

parcel in Florence County. This will help PDRTA locate users more efficiently. Continuous


Staff will also continue, as needed and requested, to work with SCDOT in the development and

implementation of the Statewide Transit Plan. Continuous throughout fiscal year.



As staff develops the Population, Land Use, and Community Facilities Elements of the

Comprehensive Plan as described in C-1, trends related to transit may emerge that can be used

for future transit planning. Staff may assist PDRTA with plans to locate new transit facilities or

expand existing uses. Continuous throughout fiscal year.

In addition, we continue to share requested data with and send meeting notices to PDRTA

constantly involving them in the transportation planning process. Continuous throughout fiscal

year.

Product:

Staff updates the County Road Atlas to the PDRTA annually. Reports and plans developed in

conjunction with PDRTA using GIS may also be produced.
