MEMORANDUM


FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP fl/41'( Community Development Staff Director

Phil MatsonV -11lr"" MPO Staff Director

DATE: June, 22 2007

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED PROGRAM FY 2007/2008 PLANNING GRANT AGREEMENT

It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at its meeting of July 11, 2007.

SUMMARY

On January 1, 2000, the Indian River County MPO officially became the county's Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA). It is the MPO's responsibility to execute grant agreements for administering the transportation disadvantaged program. The proposed FY 2007/2008 grant agreement in the amount of$9, 796.00 (the amount allocated to Indian River County by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) minus $10,000 that is being transferred to the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for providing transportation disadvantaged services) is attached. Staff recommends the MPO authorize the chairman to sign and execute the attached agreement and authorizing resolution.

DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS

As the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) for the transportation disadvantaged program, the MPO provides administrative support for the transportation disadvantaged program and applies for and executes the annual transportation disadvantaged planning grant. The proposed FY 2007/2008 grant agreement and backup information (Authorizing Resolution and Standard Assurance Form) are attached. For FY 2007/2008, the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) has allocated $19,796 for transportation disadvantaged planning-related services. The grant funds are available for the specific purpose of accomplishing the duties and responsibilities of the DOPA as identified in Chapter 427, F.S. and Rule 41-2, F.A.C.

1

According to Transportation Disadvantaged Program rules, all or a portion of a community's TD plauning grant funds may be transferred to the CTC for providing TD trips. For FY 2007/2008, the amount to be transferred to the CTC for providing trips is $10,000.

ANALYSIS

The pnrpose of the plauning grant is to obtain funds to cover the plauning related costs incurred by MPO staff in fulfilling the MPO's duties and responsibilities associated with the state-mandated transportation disadvantaged program. These responsibilities consist primarily of staffing the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB), the committee responsible for coordinating the Indian River County transportation disadvantaged program, as well as working with the Council on Aging, the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for transportation disadvantaged services.

The planning grant funds will be used to reimburse staff time and expenses associated with administering the transportation disadvantaged program and staffing the TDLCB. While the grant funds are needed to provide monetary support for the continued provision of local transportation disadvantaged program planning related services, staffhas determined that the entire amount of grant money allocated to the MPO for that pnrpose is not needed to accomplish the referenced work. The CTC, however, needs additional funds for providing TD trips. For that reason, $10,000 of the grant funds are being transferred to the CTC (Indian River County Senior Resource Association) to provide additional TD trips.

At this time, the MPO must authorize submittal of the grant agreement. Failure to authorize the grant agreement will result in a lack of funding from the state for planning related services which are mandated by the transportation disadvantaged program.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO authorize the Chairman to sign and execute the attached FY 2007/2008 Planning Grant agreement and authorizing resolution.

MEMORANDUM


THROUGH: Robert M. Keating, AICP /tvV! K Community Development Director

Phillip J. Matson/7fl/'" MPO Staff Direct'tfr'"

FROM: Sutapa Chatterjee MPO Planner

DATE: June 26, 2007

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2007/08 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)

It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the members of the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at the meeting ofJuly 11,2007.

SUMMARY

The proposed Transportation Improvement Program for FY 2007/08 - 2011/12 lists all state and federally funded transportation improvement projects programmed for Indian River County over the TIP's five-year period. The attached TIP is based on FDOT's FY 2007/08-2011/12 Tentative Work Program which was developed using the MPO's priorities for highway, enhancement, congestion management system, aviation, and transit projects. Staff recommends that the MPO review and approve the TIP.


Florida Statutes and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) require all MPOs in Florida to develop a Transportation Improvement Program annually in coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and local transit operators. In Indian River County, the TIP needs to be approved by the MPO and must be compatible with the FDOT's work program in order to be included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Approval of the STIP by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) enables the MPO to receive federal funding for implementation of transportation projects. This year, the MPO must submit the approved TIP to FDOT by July 15, 2007.

By definition, a TIP for a Metropolitan Planning Area (MP A) is a staged, multiyear, intermodal program of transportation improvements that are consistent with the MPO's long-range transportation plan. The TIP lists all the federally funded and locally funded transportation projects for the next five fiscal years. The purpose of the TIP is to implement the MPO's Long

Range Transportation Plan. Included in the TIP are projects for roads, bikepaths/sidewalks, public transportation, enhancements, and airports.

The Indian River County MPO's FY 2007/08 - 201!/12 TIP development process began in February of 2006 when the MPO solicited Enhancement Grant applications from local govermnents and organizations in the county. In July of 2006, MPO staff met with local govermnent and FDOT officials to discuss the priority process. In September 2006, the MPO developed its list of priority projects for highways, enhancements, congestion management system (CMS), aviation, and transit. The MPO Board approved the priority lists and submitted them to FDOT. These MPO priorities were then used by FDOT to develop its draft tentative five-year work program, which the MPO and its advisory committees reviewed in November/December 2006.

In March 2007, FDOT provided its tentative five-year work program to MPO staff for use in developing the attached TIP. Since FDOT coordinated with the MPO in preparing its tentative five-year work program, that work program reflects the MPO's previously identified highway, enhancement, CMS, aviation, and transit project priorities.

ANALYSIS

The MPO's FY 2007/08 - 201!/12 TIP, which is attached to this staff report (Attachmenf I), includes an introduction to the various federal requirements of the TIP, as well as a listing of specific local, state and federally funded transportation improvement projects progranuned for five years in the MPO area. The project listing is provided in two sections. Section I addresses state and federally funded projects progranuned for FY 2007/08- 201!/12. In accordance with FDOT guidance for the preparation of this TIP, projects using federal funds are designated as "Y" in a special field called "Federal" in the project listings. Section II, while not a required component of the TIP, addresses locally funded projects that are identified in the County's updated five-year capital improvements program. In this year's TIP, the major revisions include the addition of construction funding for two major road widening projects (SR60 from I-95 to 82"d Ave and US I from north of Highland Dr to south of Oslo Road), and the removal of one project (the widening of Oslo Road from I-95 to 58th Ave).

As required by state and federal law, the TIP is consistent with all local and regional comprehensive plans. It is FDOT' s position that, due to limited flexibility in the reallocation of committed funds and project schedules, the MPO has limited discretion in revising the TIP. It is important to note that federal and state funds cannot be released for the projects contained in the TIP until the TIP is approved by the MPO.

On June 26th, the TIP was reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). At that time, the CAC recommended that the MPO approve the TIP. On June 29th, the TIP was reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC also unanimously recommended approval.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO review and approve the FY 2007/08 TIP.

INTRODUCTION

The FY 2007/08-2011112 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) identifies transportation projects programmed for Indian River Connty over the next five fiscal years. Consistent with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requirements, this TIP lists all the federally funded and locally funded transportation projects within the Metropolitan Planning Area for fiscal years 2007/2008 to 201112012. The TIP was developed in cooperation with FDOT and public transit operators in the county.

Purpose

The purpose of this TIP is to establish a staged multiyear, intermodal program of transportation improvement projects whkh are consistent with the MPO's long-range transportation plan. As such, this TIP is consistent with all applicable state and federal TIP requirements.

This TIP contains an overview of the TIP process, two sections of project listings, and a map. Section I lists the FDOT-funded transportation projects in Indian River Connty that are to be implemented in the MPO area in the coming five years. It includes a Transportation Disadvantaged subsection which lists projects funded pursuant to Subsection 427.015(1), Florida Statutes. The FDOT section concludes with a financial summary of the FDOT- funded projects and a map displaying all of the projects listed in Section I. Section II identifies the locally funded transportation projects programmed for the FY 2007/08- FY 2011/12 period.

Together, Sections I and II identify all programmed transportation projects within the MPO area, including pedestrian facilities, bicycle facilities, and transportation enhancement projects. Not only does the TIP identify all transportation projects to be funded by Title 23 USC and the Federal Transit Act, it also identifies other programmed transportation improvements.

Within the MPO area, there are two regionally significant transportation projects, as defined in 23 CFR 450.104 and 40 CFR 93.101. The regionally significant projects are the I-95 widening from the St. Lucie County line to the Brevard County line, and the SR 60 widening from 66th Ave to I-95.

Financial Plan

As structured, the TIP is financially constrained for each of the five years in the FY 2007/08-2011112 period. All federally funded projects identified in the TIP are reflected in FDOT's tentative work program for FY 2007/08-2011112, and these projects can be funded using current and proposed revenue sources. The TIP is also financially constrained for all locally funded projects.

Project Selection

The selection process for choosing projects incorporated within this TIP was carried out in accordance with the requirements of 23 USC 134(h)(2) and (i)( 4). With reference to the projects

l


included within this TIP, selection was made by FDOT in cooperation with the MPO in accordance with the requirements of23 CFR 450.332 (a)

The project selection process for the Indian River County MPO's FY 2007/08-2011112 TIP started in February of2006. At that time, the MPO solicited Enhancement applications from local governments and organizations in Indian River County. In July 2006, MPO staff, in conjunction with FDOT and local government officials, met to discuss MPO priorities. In September 2006, the MPO submitted its lists of priority highway, enhancement, transit, airport, and congestion management system (CMS) projects to FDOT. These lists were developed using interim year rankings of roadway improvements contained in the MPO's 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan, a CMS analysis based on the MPO's CMS plan, and local government input. Using the MPO's 2006 priority highway and CMS priority projects lists, FDOT developed its FY 2007/08-2011112 Tentative Five Year Work Program. That five-year work program constitutes the principal part of this TIP.

Using FDOT's FY 2007/08-2011/12 Five Year Work Program as a base, MPO staff prepared the draft TIP. This TIP was then reviewed by the Indian River County Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB), the MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the MPO Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC). The TDLCB, TAC, and CAC each recommended that the MPO adopt the TIP. At its meeting of July 11, 2007, the MPO adopted the TIP.

Consistency With Other Plans

As structured, the FY 2007/08- 2011/12 TIP is consistent with all transportation plans applicable to the MPO area. These include the following:

• MPO 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan • MPO Transit Development Plan • MPO Long Range Transit Plan • MPO Congestion Management System Plan • MPO Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan • Indian River County 2020 Comprehensive Plan • City ofVero Beach Comprehensive Plan • City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan • City of Fellsmere Comprehensive Plan • Town ofindian River Shores Comprehensive Plan • Town of Orchid Comprehensive Plan • Regional Long Range Transportation Plan • Applicable Aviation Master Plans

The MPO's 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan was adopted in December, 2005. This plan includes interim year sets of Long Range Transportation Plan improvements to be used as the basis for TIP development. In developing this TIP, MPO staff ensured that the TIP was consistent with projects listed in the MPO's financially feasible transportation plan.

2


The local governments comprising the Indian River County MPO have all adopted transportation elements as part of their comprehensive plans. Each of these transportation elements identifies existing conditions, future needs, and programmed improvements. As the administrating jurisdiction for a countywide traffic impact fee program, Indian River County maintains a twenty-year capital improvements program applicable to roadways throughout the County. MPO staff reviewed these local plans and other transportation plans to form the list of project priorities and the TIP itself. Consequently, the TIP is consistent with all applicable plans covering the MPO area.

This TIP implements those needed improvements identified in the MPO's adopted long-range transportation plan. The projects selected and incorporated within the FY 2007/08-2011/12 TIP are consistent with SAFETA-LU and with FDOT's FY 2007/08-2011112 Tentative Five Year Work Program. These projects are financially feasible for the appropriate funding category, and the projects represent MPO project priorities.

MPO project priorities were established in September 2006. At that time, the MPO established priority lists for highway, enhancement, transit, aviation, and congestion management system (CMS) projects. Both the project prioritization criteria and the selection methodology are described in detail in the MPO's 2006 Priority Projects Report.

Major Projects

Major projects can generally be defined as proposed capacity producing improvements that are a mile or more in length on a principal arterial or major collector roadway. Using that definition, the FY 2007/08 - 2011/12 TIP includes construction funds for five major projects. These are the widening of 16th/17th Street from 500' west of 14th Avenue to US 1; the widening of US 1 from north of Highland Drive to south of Indian River Blvd; the widening of SR 60 from I -95 to 66'h Avenue; the Aviation Boulevard widening and Airport Access Improvement project; and the widening ofl-95 from the St. Lucie County Line to the Brevard County Line (which includes Oslo Road interchange). Construction funding for two segments of these projects appears for the first time in the TIP. These are SR60 from I-95 to 82"d Ave, and US1 from north of Highland Dr to south of Oslo Road. Two projects that existed in last ,lear's TIP and have been removed from this TIP are the widening of Oslo Road from I-95 to 58 Ave, and the widening ofUSl from north of Highland Dr to St Lucie County line.

Throughout the state of Florida, a number of factors have led to significant delays in construction of transportation projects that were included in the most recent FDOT work program. These factors include escalating costs of right-of-way, construction materials, and labor; shortages of skilled labor and equipment; and reduced gas tax revenue due to higher fuel prices. One such . .

project in Indian River County 2007/08 TIP that is delayed as a result ofFDOT's problems is the widening of 16th/17th Street (West of 14th Avenue to US 1). Also, SR 60 widening (66th Avenue to 82"d Avenue), was to be delayed one year until 2008/09, but Indian River County has provided advanced funding for the project to accelerate construction into 2007/08. Advanced funding has also enabled the county to accelerate SR 60 (82"d Ave to I-95) to FY 2008/09, and thus prevent

3


the project from being removed from the work program entirely. Funding for the I-95 interchange at Oslo Road has also been delayed pending approval of an IJR report. In FDOT's 5-yr work program, federal funding for I-95 from SR 60 to CR512 was reduced by $38 million, but this funding may reappear in a future work program. Federal funding for the widening of I-95 from CR512 to Brevard County was increased by $1.4 million in the work program.

Previous Conforming Projects

As mandated by state and federal law, all MPO's are required to meet certain air quality conformity standards as contained in SAFETEA-LU and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). Since its formation, the Indian River County MPO has been an attainment area for all air quality standards required by SAFETEA-LU and the CAAA. For that reason, this TIP need not include a list of previous conforming projects.

Public Involvement

This TIP was developed using the involvement and input of citizens, businesses, and officials from local, state, and federal entities. To prepare the MPO's 2006 priority highway, enhancement, transit, aviation, and congestion management system (CMS) project lists and to review FDOT's FY 2007/08-2011/12 Draft Tentative Five Year Work Program, the primary documents upon which this TIP is based, public meetings were held. Meetings were also held to obtain public input on the draft and fmal TIP. Opportunities for discussion occurred at meetings of the MPO Board and its advisory committees, the TAC and CAC. Opportunities for discussion also occurred at a regular meeting of the Indian River County Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board. Public notice for each of these meetings was given through a published advertisement in the local newspaper. In addition, agendas and staff reports were made publiCly available through the Indian River County website and through other means. As a result, members of the general public attended these meetings and participated in the process. The public involvement utilized in preparation of this TIP was consistent with the MPO' s current Public Involvement Plan, which was adopted in July 2002.

Certification

The Indian River County MPO planning process is certified annually by FDOT to ensure that the MPO planning process conforms to state and federal guidelines. The last certification review meeting was held in March, 2007.

Management Systems

In accordance with state and federal regulations, FDOT has developed and implemented the six SAFETEA-LU management and monitoring systems for which it has jurisdiction. These are:

• pavement management system • bridges management system • highway safety management system • public transportation management system

4


• intermodal management system • traffic monitoring system for highways

In addition, Florida statutes in effect prior to 2007 required that all MPOs develop and implement a Congestion Management System (CMS). To obtain CMS priorities in the 2006 project priorities report, the MPO performed a major CMS analysis in October of2006. SAFETEA-LU, the new federal highway authorization bill, contained revisions to the existing Congestion Management System program requirements. In 2007/08, MPO staff will undertake a Congestion Management Process (CMP) analysis of the County's transportation system based on the revised guidance contained in SAFETEA-LU. The MPO utilize its CMP and the other management systems as appropriate to prepare its annual lists of priority projects and TIP.

MEMORANDUM


THROUGH: Robert M. Keating, AICP /Lt1Jli<__ Community Development Director

Phillip J. Matson£}~ MPO Staff Director

FROM: Karen D. Hamilton MPO Planner

DATE: June 28, 2007

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF REVISIONS TO THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY 2030 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at the regular meeting of July 11, 2007.

SUMMARY

The recently enacted federal transportation authorization bill, referred to as the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), requires MPOs to revise their Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTP) to be in compliance with new program guidelines. These changes are mostly administrative in nature and do not affect any of the projects, funding, or priorities in the plan. A copy of the MPO 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan's revisions is attached to this staff report. Staff recommends the MPO review the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan revisions and adopt the revised document.


Every five years, MPOs are required by state and federal regulations to prepare long range transportation plans. At the time of Indian River County MPO's 2030 LRTP adoption, the federal transportation authorization bill known as TEA-21 was still in

1

effect. Subsequently, the transportation legislation was renewed as SAFETEA-LU. In March 2007, The Federal Highway Administration issued new planning regulations implementing the SAFETEA-LU requirements. The regulations sought to improve safety and security, reduce traffic congestion, increase coordination in the planning process, promote better consistency between land use and transportation, and protect the enviromnent. While the MPO is scheduled to update its LRTP by December 2010, the federal govermnent determined that some of the changes need to be implemented immediately. Therefore, the MPO is expected to incorporate the regulations presented in this staff report into the Long Range Transportation Plan by July 1, 2007. Additions to the LRTP are shown as underlined, while deletions are shown as strikethrelfgh. These revisions are contained in Attachment 1.

ANALYSIS

Early in 2007, the Florida Department of Transportation required the MPO to conduct a "gap analysis" to determine the extent of revisions that need to be made to the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan to comply with SAFETEA-LU. The analysis showed that many of the new regulations were already addressed in the existing LRTP. Only a few sections of the document needed to be revised, with no resulting changes to the projects, funding, or priorities in the plan. The required revisions are sunnnarized below. A more detailed account can be found in Attachment 1.

Revision 1. SAFETEA-LU requires that the previously combined "Safety and Security" planning factor be separated into two distinct factors. These have now been separated out, and each factor is discussed in greater detail.

Revision 2. The planning factor dealing with protecting and enhancing the enviromnent has been expanded to include "promoting consistency between transportation improvements and state/local planned growth and economic development." In addition to the textual change to the planning factor, new language describing the MPO's efforts to establish greater consistency between transportation, land use and economic development has been added.

Revision 3. The LRTP must be consistent with the goals and objectives of FDOT's Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP). Language acknowledging this requirement has been added.

Revision 4. The LRTP must include a discussion of the types and location of potential enviromnental mitigation activities that may be needed to restore and maintain enviromnental functions that could be affected by transportation projects. The MPO has detailed past and current mitigation activities, including the use of ETDM as a screening tool. Because of the short deadline to incorporate these changes, there was not sufficient time to conduct a study. A more detailed enviromnental mitigation section will be included in the 2035 LRTP.

2

Revision 5. SAFETEA-LU requires that public involvement activities incorporate visualization teclmiques, enhanced use of the web, visioning and scenario planning, targeting of transportation disadvantaged populations and interacting with the public. In preparing the 2030 LRTP, the Indian River County MPO employed several of these methods. The Public Involvement section has now been expanded to provide a more detailed account of the MPO's public participation strategies and to discuss efforts on a regional level. The stand alone Public Participation Plan (PPP) will also be revised to reflect SAFETEA-LU changes.

Revision 6. This revision required a greater coordination with outside agencies. The Regional Coordination section of the LRTP has now been expanded to discuss the TriCounty Regional Coordination Process with St Lucie and Martin Counties. The MPO's collaborative efforts have also been mentioned in the Safety, Security, Environmental, and Consistency between, Transportation, Land Use, and Economic Development planning factors.

Revision 7. Minor textual changes are necessary for consistency purposes and appear throughout the document. These include removing references to "TEA-21" and replacing them with "SAFETEA-LU"; replacing "seven" planning factors with "eight," planning factors; and changing "Congestion Management Systems" to "Congestion Management Process." There were also minor changes to the title page and the table of contents.

On June 26th, the LRTP revisions were reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and on June 29th, the LRTP revisions were reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The CAC and TAC both recommended that the MPO approve the revisions to the LRTP.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO review the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan revisions and adopt the revised document.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

THE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

The Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is responsible for developing the

2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the County. The LRTP was formally adopted by the

Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization Board on December 14, 2005 (Appendix 1-A)

and is the blueprint that guides transportation system improvements through the year 2030.

Improvements identified in the plan are necessary to maintain adequate mobility for the citizens of Indian

River County in light of anticipated future development. These improvements were identified by

performing a comprehensive identification of the transportation needs and policies of Indian River County

including multimodal transportation needs such as highways, public transportation, bicycle, pedestrian,

and goods movement. The remainder of Chapter 1 summarizes the organization of this report and the

significant highlights of the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan prepared by the Indian River County

Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The Long Range Transportation Plan is intended to serve as the office guide for the expenditure of

transportation funds in Indian River County, especially transportation funding received from the Federal

government. The year 2030 was chosen as the plan horizon to address federal metropolitan planning

requirements of a minimum 20 year planning horizon. Additionally, an Interim Year plan for 2020 was

also prepared to aid in the prioritization of needed transportation projects identified in the 2030 Plan. The

Long Range Transportation Plan was prepared consistent with llettl ttle Transpertatien EE!uity Aet fur the

2-1-" Century (TEA 21) an9 available gui9anee !rem the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).

The Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization is required to update the Transportation Plan

every five years. As such, this Transportation Plan replaces the 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan

that was adopted in December 2000. For the next five years, the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan

will serve as the blueprint for major transportation projects in Indian River County. It will also serve as a

guide for other plans, policies, and programs. The Long Range Transportation Plan may be formally

amended if needed between the five year update period.

Plan Summary Report, a copy of which was previously provided to the MPO Board members. The following

summaries the discussion and actions taken by the MPO Board:

• An amended page 5 of the Summary Report was provided to the MPO members. The revised Page 5

contained updated information relative to the alternative revenue sources for the Plan, and a footnote was

added to clarify that 80% of the Second Local Option Gas Tax would be used for capital expansion. This

change was made in order to clarify that this was a different funding formula than the current allocation of

gas taxes between the County and the Cities.

• It was indicated that the Needs Plan map series remained unchanged relative to roadway improvements

on the map. It was further indicated that a note was added to the maps indicating the need for a Truck

Route Study on CR507 in the Fellsmere area.

• A discussion occurred concerning the need for widening of Indian River Blvd, and the inclusion of the

Aviation Blvd. Extension from US1 to Indian River Blvd .. It was pointed out that the piece of Indian River

Blvd. from 37'h Street to Royal Palm intersection had been left in both 2030 Multi-modal Needs Plan and

2030 Multi-modal Cost Feasible Plan as a 6 lane divided roadway project. It was also pointed out that,

while the extension of Aviation Blvd. would relive traffic on Indian River Blvd., the segment referenced

above will need to be widened to 6 lanes sometime in the next 25 years. It was further indicated that

congestion management system improvements previously studied at the Indian River Blvd. and Royal

Palm intersection should extend the time that this intersection operates at the acceptable· level of service.

• A discussion occurred relative to several streets that have previously been considered for widening that

now are included in the Long Range Plan as 2 lane divided improvements or notwidened at all. More

specifically, the need to widen 27'h Avenue and 43"' Avenue was discussed. It was indicated that should

the MPO Board decide to widen these roads to 4 lanes, that the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan

could be amended at a later date to approve such a change.

• A motion was made and seconded to approve the final Indian River County 2030 Long Range

Transportation Plan Summary Report as presented to the MPO Board. This motion was passed

unanimously by the MPO Board.

ONGOING AND FUTURE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Metropolitan Planning Organizations are charged with developing transportation policies, plans and programs.

which have a direct impact on communities. In recognition of this responsibility. the federal government recently

enacted new public participation guidelines as part of the transportation legislation known as Safe Accountable

Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users !SAFETEA-LU). The new legislation requires

MPOs to develop written, stand-alone Public Participation Plans IPPPl. These plans must conform to the federal

government's guidance for public participation which include employing visualization techniques to describe the

plan, making public information available in electronically accessible formats. ensuring that transportation plans

are available for public viewing in advance of board meetings where documents will be adopted, and scheduling

public meetings at convenient and accessible times and locations.

In the near future. the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization will revise its Public Participation

Plan so the plan better outlines the local and regional public involvement process .

. The updated plan will document both local and regional activities and efforts to actively engage the public in the

planning process. In the updated plan. the public participation strategies will be a combination of new and on

going participation techniques. Consistent with those strategies. the MPO will continue to reach the public locally

by maintaining documents on file at the Indian River County Public Library. receiving input from advisory

committees. participating in member cities' community workshops. maintinaing the MPO web page, and

producing the MPO quarterly newsletter. To ensure public participation within the Treasure Coast Region, a

Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) has been formed between Indian River County, Martin and St Lucie MPOs.

The RAC will function as a combined regional TACICAC, providing citizen input on regional transportation

planning activities.

In addition to the seveR TeA 21 eight SAFETEA-LU transportation planning factors, a series of additional

transportation planning factors were considered. These include:

• System efficiency • lntermodal connectivity • LOS standards • Roadway improvement projects • Continuous bicycle/pedestrian network prioritization criteria

• Transit service • Congestion management system (CMS) • Freight movement • Access management • Maintenance and preservation • Land use compatibility

• Environmental protection • Future growth of the County

• Neighborhood preservation

• Safety

The above transportation planning factors were also considered as part of the development of preliminary

goals for the 2030 LRTP.

Florida Transportation Plan

The 2025 FTP is currently undergoing an update. Part of the update includes the review and revision to

the gcials of the FTP. Since the new goals are not adopted, this review considered both the adopted FTP

goals of the current plan as well as the draft goals being considered in the updated draft plan dated

September 22, 2005. Table 4-2 presents the goals of the current adopted FTP, while Table 4-3 presents

the draft goals being considered in the drafted updated FTP plan.

2030 LRTP PRELIMINARY GOALS

The preliminary goals for the 2030 LRTP are presented in this section. These goals are followed by a

discussion of how they were used as part of the transportation plan development process. The discussion

concludes with a summary of how the preliminary goals comply with the transportation planning factors

presented previously in this section of the plan. Five preliminary goals were developed and are presented

in Table 4-4.

Table 4-4 Preliminary Goals for IRC 2030 LRTP

Goal Preliminary Goal 1 A connected, aesthetically pleasing and efficient transportation system that meets the

needs of Indian River County residents, visitors, and businesses. 2 A transportation system that includes travel alternatives which enhance mobility for

people and freight. 3 A transportation system that is sensitive to the natural and social environment. 4 A safe transportation system for Indian County residents, visitors, and businesses. 5 A transportation system that is preserved and maintained through adequate investment

and management of the infrastructure.

Application of Preliminary Goals

The preliminary goals developed for this task of the LRTP study will be used to assist in alternatives

development and analysis, and to establish the final study goals. The preliminary goals will be used in the

following tasks of the LRTP:

• Development of 2030 Recommended Needs Plan Model Network- The preliminary LRTP goals

will provide guidance for the identification of needed transportation improvement projects.

• Alternatives Testing- Transportation improvement project sets will be evaluated to determine

the extent to which the preliminary goals are achieved.

CHAPTER 9: COST AFFORDABLE PLAN

INTRODUCTION

SAFETEA-LU regulations require MPOs to prepare cost feasible long-range transportation plans based

on revenue sources that are reasonably expected to be made available through the plan horizon year.

The cost feasible plan provides an overview of the costs required to implement transportation

improvements and the revenues expected to be available for the period 2011 through 2030. This chapter

describes the methodology used to develop the 2030 Cost Affordable Plan and the features of the 2030

Cost Affordable Plan. This chapter is divided into four major parts. The first part of this chapter discusses

the methodology employed to develop the 2030 Cost Affordable Plan. The second part describes the

Adopted 2030 Cost Affordable Plan and the features of the plan. The third part describes the 2020

Interim Cost Affordable Plan and the methodology employed to develop the Interim Year Plan. The final

part summarizes the plan alternatives that were evaluated during the process of developing the Cost

Affordable Plan.

This plan is an update of the Adopted 2025 Cost Affordable Plan. The 2025 Plan included:

• 235 Lane Miles of Improvements (1999 to 2025), compared to 342 in this plan (2000 to 2030)

• $420 Million of Funding (1999$), compared to $620 Million (2005$) in this plan

METHODOLOGY

The methodology used to develop the Adopted Cost Affordable Plan included:

• Consideration of public input on the 2030 needs plan

• Prioritization of roadway improvements

• Evaluation of roadway improvement alternatives

• Exploration of alternative financing options to increase available revenues

Consideration of Public Input on the 2030 Needs Plan

As summarized in Chapter 2, workshops were conducted to obtain input from the public about the needs

plan development. Throughout the workshops, the participants' comments were noted and considered

during the development of the Cost Affordable Plan. This aided in the prioritization of alternative

approaches to resolving congestion issues while minimizing community impacts.

Bicycle Facilities

Bicycle facility improvements that will be constructed as part of this plan are illustrated in Map 9-7.

Similar to the pedestrian facilities map in the previous section, this map shows only existing bicycle

facilities and bicycle facilities to be constructed in tandem with road improvement projects. As noted in

the previous section, $100,000 per year of Gas Tax revenues are budgeted to be spent on bicycle and

pedestrian improvements in addition to the State Enhancement Funds. It is expected that projects using

these revenues will be prioritized throughout the MPO's short term planning process and, therefore, no

improvements are shown that would use these funds. The revenues available for bicycle and pedestrian

projects in the Cost Affordable Plan are summarized in Table 9-11. In the Cost Affordable Plan, 23

centerline miles of road will have bicycle facilities constructed along with the roadway, bringing the total

number of functionally classified roadway miles with bicycle facilities to 235.

Intelligent Transportation Systems and Travel Demand Management

Intelligent Transportation Systems and Travel Demand Management are discussed in detail in the Needs

Plan discussion in Chapter 6. Because Indian River County is forecasted to experience little congestion

through 2030, no major Intelligent Transportation Systems or Travel Demand Management projects are

specifically identified in the Cost Affordable Plan. For Congestion Management Process System

improvements, $500,000 per year of State and $500,000 per year of County revenues, a total of $1

million per year, are budgeted. This may include Intelligent Transportation Systems or Travel Demand

Management projects on an as-needed basis, to be prioritized annually through the MPO short-term

planning process.

Non-Highway Improvements

The Congestion Management Process (CMPl allows the MPO to develop a strategic approach to

congestion that focuses on both short and long term solutions that cover a wide range of strategies in

addition to major roadway improvement projects. The process The MPO, threugh its GeRgestieR.

Management System, considers non-highway improvements and the use of ITS, TSM and TOM

strategies to enhance the quality of service and reduce congestion. In fact, a major funding commitment

of CMSE funds has been made to enhance the interconnection of traffic signals in the county.

Additionally, funding has been set aside in the Cost Affordable plan in the amount of $1 million per year

(twice the level prior to adoption of this plan) for these types of improvements.

EDTM is a comprehensive screening tool that provides a holistic look at project effects by taking into

consideration cultural, social, and natural elements. It also provides for the identification of potential

project effects in the long-range planning process and early coordination with resource agencies leading

to improved transportation decisions. ETDM will continue to be used in assessing potential

environmental impacts.

SAFETEA-LU PLANNING ELEMENTS

Environmental Review

The environmental provisions of SAFETEA-LU require that the long range transportation plan identify

potential environmental impacts, Where environmental impacts are expected. the LRTP must identify

environmental mitigation activities. describe possible locations for these activities and discuss alternative

scenarios. Careful environmental review and evaluation are essential in maintaining. restoring. and

preventing the loss of environmental functions that could be otherwise be affected by transportation

improvements included in the plan. For that reason. the potential environmental resource effects of the

LRTP improvement projects were evaluated using Florida's Efficient Transportation Decision Making

(EDTMl Process. To ensure compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. the MPO will

continue to screen proposed projects in EDTM, utilize environmental resource data in the preparation of

plans, and consult with appropriate governmental agencies as needed. Special emphasis will be placed

on projects that threaten wetlands, water resources. and protected species habitat.

In the new SAFETEA-LU regulations. safety has been elevated to a stand alone planning factor.

Consequently. the Indian River County MPO (IRCMPOl must work to increase the safety of the

transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users. To better identifv safety issues and

challenges. the MPO collaborates with law enforcement agencies within the Treasure Coast Region.

conducts safety studies. and compiles and analyzes safety data.

Recently. the MPO has undertaken additional measures to meet the new safety requirements. These

include drafting guidelines: developing safety plans: making safety a factor in project selection: and

identifying funding opportunities. In addition. the MPO has been successful in linking the Strategic

Highway Safety Plan ISHSP) with the transportation planning process. developing a Continuity of

Operations Plan I COOP) for MPO members and government officials. applying for Safe Routes to School

funding for sidewalk construction to ensure the safety of children walking or biking to area schools. and

updating the county's transit System Safety Program Plan ISSPP). On a regional level, the MPO is

working with the Treasure Coast Planning Council to develop a statewide evacuation plan. The MPO will

continue to identify safety issues and challenges and work with local and regional agencies to address

them.

Security

As a result·of the recent SAFETEA-LU legislation, security has also been elevated to a stand-alone

planning factor. This is in recognition of the fact there may be events that will threaten transportation

operations and the security and well-being of the Indian River County community, In recognition of

potential vulnerabilities and threats to the county's highways, roads, transit operations, airport, rail and

waterways, the MPO has already undertaken several measures to increase the security of transportation

systems for motorized and non-motorized users. These measures include the MPO working closely with

local and regional law enforcement agencies, conducting vulnerability analyses on area facilities and

services, developing GIS information and data on roadways, bridges, crashes, crime and other relevant

security concerns, and incorporating security as an evaluation factor in project selection.

Currently, the Indian River County MPO is in the process of assisting the county's transit provider, Indian

River Transit, with revising the transit system Security and Emergency Management Program Plan. This

plan documents the procedures and process for maintaining secure operations and.service environment

for passengers, employees, volunteers and County residents. It also contains information about

mitigation, preparedness, response and recoverv. Transit security data are routinely reported in the

Tindale-Oiiver & Associates, Inc. 9-36 Indian River County MPO September 2006 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan F:\Community Deve/opment\Users\MPO\LRTP\2030\Fina/ Reporf\9- Cost Feasible Plan\Chapter9_CostAffordableP/an marked changes June07 Final. doc

National Transit Database. Non-transit security data are shared with area law enforcement agencies and

the Domestic Security Terrorism Task Force. which Indian River County is a member. Additionally. the

MPO's Continuity of Operations Plan and Emergency Management Service's Disaster Preparedness

Guide were developed to increase securitv awareness, preparedness, and response within the County.

The MPO will continue to identify security issues and challenges and work with local and regional

agencies to address them.

Consistency between Transportation, Land Use and Economic Development

The MPO works closely with the Current Development Division of Indian River County's Planning

Department to ensure that proposed development projects include sidewalks and bus stops if the project

is on a transit line. For commercial projects served by transit, developers are urged to include bus bays

or other safe areas for bus boarding and alighting. The MPO and Indian River Transit also consult with

local government agencies, the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce, the Treasure Coast

Workforce Development Board and transit providers in neighboring counties to identify emerging traffic

generators and attractors. This information helps to determine if existing bus routes should be revamped

or if new routes are needed. In anticipation of increased economic and residential activity along and

adjacent to U.S. 1, new routes will link Indian River County to Brevard and St Lucie Counties. Indian

River County's Land Development Regulations restrict sprawl, limit strip commercial development,

promote infill, encourage TND projects, promote public transportation and encourage higher intensity

uses in major corridors. The MPO will continue to promote consistency between transportation

imwovements and State and local planned growth and economic development.

REGIONAL COORDINATION

Throughout the development of the Indian River County Long Range Transportation Plan, the St. Lucie,

Brevard, and Indian River MPOs coordinated to identify needed improvements to regional roads. Map 9-

10 identifies the regional roadway improvement needs that were discussed with staff at Brevard County

and St. Lucie County during the development of the plan.

Tindale-Oiiver & Associates, Inc. 9-37 Indian River County MPO September 2006 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan F:\Community Deve/opment\Users\MPO\LRTP\2030\Fina/ Report\9- Cost Feasible Plan\Chapter9_CostAffordableP/an marked changes June07 Final. doc

include regional roads as a criterion. The Indian River County MPO will continue to coordinate with the

St Lucie County MPO relative to future regional roadway improvements.

Tri-Countv Regional Transportation Planning and Coordination Processes

In recognition of increasing trends of cross county traffic flows with a strong north to south pattern.

coupled with growth pressures in all three Treasure Coast counties. the three Treasure Coast MPOs have

partnered to address transportation at a regional scale. In so doing. the Indian River. St Lucie and Martin

County MPOs have developed new policies and processes aimed at enhancing regional coordination to

ensure better transportation decision making. Following statewide trends. this has entailed establishing a

strong regional framework. while also ensuring local autonomy for transportation issues of local concern.

To provide regional coordination and consistency. the Regional Long Range Transportation Plan

(RLRTPl was adopted by the Indian River County MPO on May 9. 2007: by the Martin and St Lucie

County MPOs on Apri12007 and by the Treasure Coast TC on 2007. The RLTP appears in Appendix A

of this document

Additionally. the Committee for a Sustainable Treasure Coast (CSTCl was created to provide regional

solutions for the area's mobility ·needs. Members of the committee, created in 2004, included a wide

array of community stakeholders representing the interests of the regional governments, nonprofit

community organizations, private businesses, educational, and environmental agencies. The ideas,

findings, and solutions reached by the CSTC will be incorporated into The Indian River County MPO's

planning activities. as warranted.

Regional Multimodal Transportation System

The regional multimodal transportation system includes corridors and hubs deemed to be regionally

significant across the three-county area (Indian River:St Lucie and Martin Counties). The criteria utilized

to designate this network relied both on the functional classification of roadways and their relation to

regional development patterns and land uses. As designated. this network is intended to create strong

connectivity with the state's Strategic lntermodal System (SIS). At its essence, the regional rnultimodal

system represents the next tier of facilities feeding into the SIS supporting regional economic and mobility

goals. This system appears in Map 9-13 and in Appendix A of this document

DATE: June 26, 2007

SUBJECT: REQUEST BY THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN TO INITIATE THE PROCESS OF AMENDING THE MPO 2030 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN(LRTP)

It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at the meeting of July 11, 2007.

SUMMARY

Recently, the City of Sebastian requested that the MPO initiate the process of amending its 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan in order to delete the Fleming Street Extension (Easy Street - US 1) from the plan. A preliminary survey of the roadway's alignment performed by the County raised concerns that the extension would impact the Sebastian Harbor Preserve, an enviromnental area proposed for public purchase by the County's Land Acquisition Advisory Committee. On May 23, the Sebastian City Council recommended that the MPO initiate the process of amending the LRTP. According to Federal and State guidelines, the MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan can be amended at any time. With respect to amendments that affect projects, priorities, or funding, the process of amending the Long Range Plan is substantially similar to that of adopting the plan. Staff recommends that the MPO consider the request to amend the LRTP and initiate the plan amendment and alternatives analysis process.


Recently, the City of Sebastian requested that the MPO initiate the process of amending the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan in order to delete the Fleming Street Extension (Easy Street - US 1) from the plan. Fleming Street, which appears after year 2020 in the plan, was included in the last LRTP update in order to maintain acceptable levels of service in the north county area. It had appeared on several previous MPO and local comprehensive plans, and, together with the extension of Laconia Street, formed part of a strategy that eliminated the need to widen Barber Street, Schumann Drive (north of Barber Street), and Roseland Road. While

1

Fleming Street has no programmed funding and is not scheduled for implementation prior to 2020, a preliminary survey of the roadway's alignment was performed by the County in the course of a proposed public purchase of a nearby conservation property. That survey raised concerns that the project would impact the conservation area While acknowledging the need for traffic alternatives in the city, the City Council on May 23'd objected to the extension of Fleming Street through conservation lands and also objected to the purchase of right of way through the subject property with transportation funds. At the conclusion of a presentation by MPO staff, a motion was passed by the City to request that the MPO initiate the process of amending the Long Range Plan. A similar motion was passed by the Board of County Commissioners on June 5, 2007.

ANALYSIS

According to Federal and State guidelines, the MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan can be amended at any time. With respect to amendments that affect projects, priorities, or funding, the process of amending the Long Range Plan is substantially similar to that of adopting the plan. This means that public input must be obtained on the proposed amendment; impacts of the amendment on level of service must be identified; alternatives must be analyzed; and financial tables must be revised. In addition, the draft plan amendment must be sent to FDOT, the State Clearinghouse, the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for review and comment. A flowchart depicting the plan amendment process appears in Attachment I.

With respect to this amendment request, staff has performed a preliminary analysis of the impacts of traffic in the Sebastian Area with and without Fleming Street and will refine its analysis in the coming months. Maintaining a transportation system that is sensitive to the natural and social environment is a longstanding goal of the MPO, as is maintaining mobility for county residents. Hence, while removing a project for environmental purposes may be consistent with plan goals and objectives, doing so without replacing capacity elsewhere may jeopardize the internal consistency of the plan and make maintaining adequate levels of service impossible.

At the June 26th CAC meeting, the CAC recommended that the MPO approve the City of Sebastian request that .the MPO initiate the process of amending the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan. At the June 291

h TAC meeting, the TAC also recommended that the MPO approve the City of Sebastian request.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO consider the request to amend the LRTP and recommends that the MPO initiate the plan amendment and alternatives analysis process.

SUBJECT: PRESENTATION BY FDOT ON ACCESS MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at the meeting of July 11, 2007.

SUMMARY

FDOT is responsible for ensuring that the design of each state road balances access and mobility considerations. Access Management is the practice of improving the design and placement of driveways and medians. The goal of access management is to limit traffic conflicts. By reducing conflict, safety is increased and traffic flow is improved. FDOT developed access management standards for the state based upon national standards and its own experiences. FDOT District IV Staff has requested the opportunity to make . a presentation to the MPO on Access Management practices employed by the state.


The purpose of access management is to improve access to attractions along major roadways in a manner that preserves the safety and efficiency of the transportation system through careful planning of the location, design, and operation of driveways, median openings, interchanges, and street connections. A basic principle of access management is to reduce the number of conflict points along a roadway by limiting the number of driveways, limiting the number of median openings, and restricting certain movements at some median openings. Good access management practices can delay the need to widen roads for several years as traffic flow is made more efficient.

At the July 11, 2007 MPO meeting, FDOT District IV Traffic Access Manager Beth Coe will make a brief presentation on Access Management practices in the state of Florida. These practices

1

are being incorporated into the design of many roadway widening and resurfacing projects m Indian River County, including projects on SR 60 and US 1.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the MPO consider the FDOT presentation and informational materials and provide FDOT with any comments or recommendations.

SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT OF TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) AMENDMENT

It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the members of the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at the meeting of July 11, 2007.

SUMMARY

Recently, the MPO made a minor amendment to the MPO's adopted FY 2006/07-2010/11 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The nature of the amendment was to replace the estimated Section 5307 transit funding that appeared in the TIP with the actual funding apportioned to Indian River County in May of2007. According to MPO Resolution 99-02, adopted on July 14, 1999, MPO staff has the authority to make minor amendments to MPO plans and documents with the requirement that staff provide a status report to the MPO, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) at their next regularly scheduled meetings. This is the required status report.

DESCRIPTION, CONDITIONS & ANALYSIS

To allow for FDOT to continue to fund several projects in Indian River County, MPO staff recently made a minor amendment to the FY 2006/07 - 2010/11 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). That amendment replaced the estimated Section 5307 transit funding that appeared in the TIP with the actual funding apportioned to Indian River County in May of 2007, resulting in an additional $842,420 for Indian River County. According to the FDOT, amending the TIP is largely a legal requirement to

1

enable the MPO to execute the 2006/07 grant and does not affect any of the projects in the grant as approved by the board.

Staff approval of minor amendments to MPO plans is allowed pursuant to MPO resolution No. 99-02, adopted on July 14, 1999. That resolution allows such administrative amendments with the requirement that the MPO Staff Director provide a status report of any such amendment to the MPO, TAC, and CAC at their next regularly scheduled meetings. This is that status report.

RECOMMENDATION

INTRODUCTION

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY


Quarterly Status Report January 1, 2007 - March 31, 2007

This status report for the third quarter of FY 2006/2007 identifies the activities undertaken by the Indian River County MPO during the reporting period.

WORK PROGRAM STATUS

During the third quarter of FY 2006/2007, MPO staff completed various activities related to the approved UPWP. These are identified below.

• Task 1.1 -Program Management

From January I, 2007 to March 31, 2007, MPO staff undertook all applicable MPO program management functions. This involved general administration and fmancial management activities, as well as coordination with various local govermnents and with FDOT. Specific activities included:

attendance at one MPO meeting, one Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting, one MPO Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting, and one MPO Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting attendance at one MPO Advisory Council (MPOAC) staff directors meeting and one MPOAC governing board 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 preparation of various MPO-related correspondence supervision of MPO staff activities coordination ofMPO activities with local govermnents and FDOT maintenance of the MPO's web site circulation of orientation materials to new MPO and advisory board members reproduction and distribution of the MPO newsletter preparation of the second quarter 2006/07 progress report and invoice

During the quarter, MPO staff continued the process of hiring General Planning Consultants (GPCs) for the Indian River County MPO. In so doing, MPO staff issued a Request for Letters of Interest for consultant services and advertised the request. It is anticipated that the process of hiring General Planning Consultants will be completed during the fourth quarter.

Progress Report for Third Quarter FY 2006/07 Pagel

Also during the quarter, the MPO prepared and adopted its Federal Title VI Policy and Discrimination Coqtplaint Procedures. The approved policy and procedures were posted to the MPO website and included in the FDOT annual certification review package.

• Task 1.2 -Program Development: UPWP

During the quarter, MPO staff made a request to deobligate $30,000 in federal highway planning (PL) funds from its FY 06/07 UPWP. Specifically, those funds were deobligated from Task 4.8, the Aviation Boulevard Corridor Study, so that the funds will be available for use in the MPO's 2007/08 UPWP. Adequate funding will be available to complete anticipated activities on Task 4.8 through the end of FY 2006/07. To finalize the amendment, MPO staff modified tables, changed task descriptions, and transmitted this information to FDOT.

Also during the reporting period, the MPO circulated a memorandum to local governments in Indian River County. The purpose of the memorandum was to solicit ideas for new planning activities to be incorporated into the upcoming (FY 2007 /08) UPWP. In addition, MPO staff coordinated with FDOT and attended a regional UPWP kickoff meeting.

After receiving input and guidance on the UPWP from FDOT and local agencies, the MPO developed its draft FY 2007/08 UPWP and transmitted copies of the draft to FDOT. In preparing the draft UPWP, staff reviewed the adopted 2006/07 UPWP, assessed the completion status and year-to-date expenditures by task, considered FDOT's estimate ofFY 2007/08 PL funding, reviewed SAFETEA-LU planning factors, and considered FDOT's latest Planning Emphasis Areas (PEAs). Staff also reviewed UPWPs submitted by the Martin and St. Lucie MPOs. In addition, MPO staff sought feedback from implementing agency staff and local government officials.

Using those inputs, MPO staff developed the draft 2007/08 UPWP. In developing the draft UPWP, MPO staff revised the objective, methodology, and end products for many tasks; added new tasks; updated introductory information; prepared cost estimates by task; developed budget tables; and prepared the UPWP document. The draft UPWP was then sent to FDOT for review and comment by FDOT, FHW A, and FT A. It is expected that those agencies will provide comments to MPO staff early in the next quarter. After receipt of agency comments, MPO staff will revise the UPWP and present the revised FY 2007/08 UPWP to the MPO, TAC, and CAC for review, comment, and approval. Once approved, staff will submit the FY 2007/08 UPWP to FDOT.

• Task 1.3 and Task 1.4

These are FDOT tasks relating to support/match for the Section 112 program and the Section 5303 program, respectively. No MPO activities are associated with these tasks.

Progress Report for Third Quarter FY 2006/07 Page2

• Task 1.5 -Training

During the quarter, MPO staff attended FDOT training in the Florida Standardized Urban Transportation Modeling Structure (FSUTMS) held in Clearwater, Florida. While there, staff was trained in travel demand forecasting using CUBE software.

• 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. The MPO logs, evaluates, and, if requested, responds to all comments it receives from the. public. Public contact information is entered in the MPO's public information database and is used to evaluate overall public involvement efforts on an annual basis.

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 and Sebastian Branch Libraries and at the Indian River County Community Development Department reception desk.

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.

Finally, MPO staff participated in a countywide safety exposition held by the Community Traffic Safety Team in conjunction with the Indian River County Sheriffs Office. The MPO prepared an informational kiosk at the exposition and solicited comments from the public regarding the MPOs plans and programs.

• Task 2.1 -Land Use and Socioeconomic Data Analysis

During the quarter, MPO staff continued to develop socio-economic data for the Greater Treasure Coast Regional Planning Model (GTCRPM) year 2005 validation. Working with FDOT's modeling consultants, the Corradino group, MPO staff provided year 2005 development information from its vacant parcel model for use by the consultants. MPO staff also reviewed and provided comments on updated consultant socio-economic data assumptions.

Also during the quarter, the MPO continued development of an update to the MPO's vacant parcel model. Tasks performed included refining reports created as part o:f the original vacant model application; automating the process of mapping vacant land and proposed developments; and developing a map of new development and available capacity on roadways. The MPO anticipates completing the vacant parcel model in the fourth quarter of FY2006/07.

Progress Report for Third Quarter FY 2006107 Page3

• Task 2.2 - Traffic Count and Transportation Data Collection and Analysis

In the third quarter ofFY 2006/2007, staff undertook several traffic count data collection and analysis activities. These included:

o conducting 64 24-hour, 15-minute interval, automatic machine classification counts, as part of the Indian River County Annual Traffic Count Program

o conducting 5 special counts, including approach counts and speed studies o conducting28 intersection turning movement counts

This information was compiled and is maintained in a computer database.

• Task 2.3 - Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis

During the quarter, MPO staff created or modified a number of GIS transportation geodatabase layers and project shape files. Layers and shape files developed during this quarter included Indian River Transit Route 10 in Fellsmere; SR 60 Interest Share Fee Zones; and residential development projects for input into the Vacant Parcel model.

Also during the quarter, MPO staff performed GIS analysis and/or created maps of existing transportation conditions for the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element- Evaluation Appraisal Report (EAR). In some instances, MPO staff used existing data and formatted that data for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Maps created or reformatted during the quarter included the existing highway network, roadway functional classification, extended grid network, transit routes, bike/ped crash locations, airports, rail facilities, and airport area land uses. MPO staff also attended progress meetings, coordinated with County staff and developed a work plan for EAR adoption.

Throughout the quarter, the MPO participated in a countywide GIS study. The study, which is being conducted in conjunction with Indian River County Public Works, Administration, and Information Technology staff, will result in streamlined and accurate databases, shape files, and layers that will be incorporated in all future MPO GIS work products. Specific tasks completed during the quarter included meeting with consultants and public works staff to discuss transportation database design; meeting and sharing data with FDOT District IV GIS staff; and uploading data into ARC SDE data environments.

• Task 3.1 - Long Range Planning

During the quarter, MPO staff continued to participate in the development of the Greater Treasure Coast Regional Planning Model (GTCRPM). The GTCRPM, which includes five counties (Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Palm Beach and Brevard), is a joint effort ofFDOT District IV and District V to develop a model that will replace the existing three county model.


Also during the quarter, MPO staff installed and ran its 2030 Long Range Plan networks in CUBE format. After receiving the files converted from TransCAD format, MPO staff reviewed the networks, successfully ran the model on the new software platform and provided FDOT with comments on improving the networks.

• Task 3.2 -Transit Planning

Throughout the quarter, MPO staff coordinated with City, County, Senior Resource Association (formerly known as Council on Aging) and FDOT staff on a number of intermodal project planning activities. For example, MPO staff met with County staff to discuss transit infrastructure improvements at the County Administration Building and at the Gifford Health Center. In addition, MPO staff continued to provide assistance to City and County staff to obtain grant funding for intermodal projects, including the Aviation Boulevard intermodal project.

Another activity undertaken in this quarter involved MPO staff coordination with local governments and the Senior Resource Association (SRA) regarding transit plarming in the context of the overall transportation plarming process. Specifically, MPO staff participated in a quarterly meeting with County staff and· SRA staff to discuss transit operations and related issues, and assisted in administering federal and state capital, operating and intermodal grant funds. As part of the intermodal grant administration and development process, MPO staff conducted Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meetings to update FDOT on the status of its corridor and intermodal grants. Staff also updated its quarterly report on the status of these grants.

With respect to grant administration activities, MPO staff coordinated with FDOT staff, prepared BCC and MPO agenda items, and took necessary actions relating to a number of federal and state grants. These activities included:

• Developing, advertising, and submitting the 2006/07 5307 Transit Operations and Capital grant;

• Requesting a Toll Revenue Credit Letter for the state matching share of the 5307 grant; and

• Conducting Quarterly TEAM and ECHO electronic invoicing activities.

During the quarter, MPO staff assisted in the development of the Evaluation Appraisal Report of the County's Comprehensive Plan - Transportation Element. Activities undertaken during the quarter included identifying transit system conditions at the time of plan adoption; identifying existing conditions; and analyzing trends and changes since plan adoption.

Also during the quarter, MPO staff attended a Triennial Review workshop conducted by the Federal Transit Administration in Atlanta, GA. Topics discussed included PTA's overall legal, financial, and technical requirements for grantees as well as procurement and disadvantaged business enterprise program guidelines.

Progress Report for Third Quarter FY 2006/07 Page 5

Finally, MPO and Senior Resource Association staff coordinated with staff from the city of Fellsmere to initiate fixed route transit service. Specific activities included attending meetings; developing marketing materials for distribution with city utility bills; identifying locations for stops; developing a transit map; and scheduling routes.

• Task 3.3 -Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Development

During the quarter, MPO staff initiated the process of developing the MPO' s FY 2007/08 -2011/12 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In so doing, MPO Staff obtained Fiveyear Work Program information from FDOT - District Four and reviewed that information for consistency with the Tentative Work Program approved by the MPO last fall.

• Task 4.8- Aviation Boulevard Extension

In the second quarter, MPO staff and consultants completed the first phase of the Aviation Boulevard Extension Corridor Study. In so doing, the MPO considered the costs and benefits presented as part of the study and, as a result, decided not to engage in phase II of the analysis. The MPO did, however, decide that there was potential for a future alignment somewhere in the corridor, and directed staff to coordinate with local stakeholders. In the third quarter, the MPO considered an alternative study developed by concerned citizens.

Progress Report for Third Quarter FY 2006/07 Poge8

MPO staff reviewed the assumptions in the alternative study; developed agenda and presentation materials; and facilitated presentations to the MPO and its advisory committees.
