Transit Development Plan


Transit Development PlanWhat’s a TDP?How much funding is available?What service is possible in the next ten

years?What capital investments are possible?What policies should be considered?


TDP Overview Transit Development Plan

Required to receive state funds for transitTen year plan (2011-2020)Major update required every five yearsAnnual progress updates

StarMetro TDP due in 2011 to FDOT

2011-2020 TDPCoordinated with

2035 Regional Mobility Plan

Builds on plansnova2010, Regional Transit Study, TIP, 2005 TDP, etc.


TDP Timeframe2011-2014

Trails and Greenways Plan


Trails and Greenways Plan

Numerous initiatives and entitiesTrails and Greenways Plan provides

a system-wide, comprehensive assessment of existing and planned facilities

Network connectivity and accessibility

Connectivity between activity centers


Trails and Greenways Plan Work Activities: Data Collection

and Plan ReviewCompilation of data from all

sourcesDevelopment of a regional

database

StatusDeveloped a regional GIS map of

existing facilitiesReviewed by stakeholders to

obtain input on any missing facilities


Trails and Greenways Plan Work Activities: Public

Involvement and CoordinationWide ranging efforts and

stakeholdersCoordination committee

established including local planning and recreational staff, state agency representatives, advocacy groups, CRTPA committees

Committee will provide input, guidance and coordination


Trails and Greenways Plan Work Activities: Public

Cost Feasible Plan


Draft Cost Feasible PlanDevelopment of Needs Plan

Projects identified by local governments, existing plans and studies, public input, CRTPA Board and Committees

Development of Financial ResourcesIdentified available anticipated revenues

and developed project costsInformation provided by FDOT and local

governmentsCost constrained revenue estimates only

include federal/state/local non-dedicated fundsOperation of Nova2010 and system

maintenance not included


Draft Cost Feasible PlanPer Federal requirement;

Inflated costs and revenues to year of expenditure dollars

Projects identified in 5-year cost bandsAdopted TIP considered committed

Changes from previous draft:Updated funding information from

development of TDPDetailed project review


Draft Cost Feasible Plan

Major Revisions to Draft Cost Feasible Plan

Deleted/shifted some transit projects due to updated TDP financial estimates and StarMetro comments:

• Quincy Expanded Fixed Route Service

• Airport Satellite Transfer Center

• East and North Leon County Local Service Expansion

• Monroe Street Bus Rapid Transit

• Shift of Quincy Park and Ride to Midway Park and Ride

• Name changes to more accurately reflect location and service



Major Revisions to Draft Cost Feasible Plan

Projects reviewed in detail. Review resulted in identification of projects already completed or partially completed; changes needed in project termini; and corrections in facility names

Review resulted in:

• Project deletions for those already completed

• Termini adjustments to better reflect actual project

• Project shifts among tiers due to deletions

• Additional funding for trails and greenways projects

• Name corrections


Draft Cost Feasible PlanPresented at Round 4 of Public Meetings

Gadsden and Jefferson CountiesInformation and displays outside of County Commission

meetingsSuccessful approach – obtained more input than

standard public meetingsGadsden County comments:

Focus on the provision of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, particularly trails

Jefferson County comments:Focus on provision of bicycle facilities, both on and off

roadCapitalize on bicycle facilities and intrinsic resources for

economic developmentNeed a “Capitol to Monticello” bicycle loop


Draft Cost Feasible PlanPresented at Round 4 of Public Meetings

Wakulla and Leon CountiesUsed previous meeting formats

Wakulla County comments:More modal options are needed for Wakulla County

residents, particularly those commuting to TallahasseeLeon County comments:

Happy to see so many bicycle and pedestrian projects included

Bike lanes neededMagnolia should be a higher priorityOlder section of Blairstone needs bicycle facilitiesCenterville

Need to improve pedestrian facility on Lafayette and include Richview
