    Transit Project Delivery CBT Transcript

    NEPA Introduction Course: Transit Project Delivery Welcome to the National Environmental Policy Act also known as NEPA Introduction Course on Transit Project Delivery provided by the Florida Department of Transportation’s or FDOT’s Office of Environmental Management, as covered in Part 1, Chapter 14 of the Project Development and Environment (or PD&E) Manual. This course provides an overview of the transit project delivery process, agency roles in the environmental review process, an overview of FDOT’s five-step process, which includes planning and community support, concept development and alternatives screening, PD&E study phases, and the Federal Transit Administration’s, or FTA’s, funding programs. Lesson 1 provides an overview of transit projects and NEPA, including definitions used for transit projects, an introduction to the FTA, and a comparison of how NEPA is conducted for FTA versus the Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA. If a federal action is required or federal funding is being used, the project must comply with NEPA and other applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those related to historic preservation and protection of public lands. FTA is typically the lead agency for transit projects, when FTA funding is being used to construct the project or purchase vehicles. Other agencies may be involved in the NEPA process, such as Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA, if the project involves an interstate facility or bridge, or the Federal Railroad Administration or FRA, if the project involves a freight or passenger railroad corridor, such as Amtrak. FTA has its own procedures for NEPA compliance, including requiring the NEPA or project development phase to be completed within two years for certain funding programs.

Public Transportation plays a vital role in both the economic and physical health of our residents and offers great benefits to the community. The Transportation Trust is dedicated to its core responsibilities-- to provide oversight of the People’s Transportation Plan (PTP) funds and develop proactive plans that meet the challenges of improving public transportation in our community. My fellow Trust Members and I remain committed in safeguarding the public’s money and we work diligently to maintain their confidence ensuring that the half-penny transportation Surtax funds are spent as intended. We are excited about the accomplishments made with the half-penny Surtax thus far and look forward to continuing to fulfill our remaining promises by implementing the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan. Miami-Dade County desires to provide a public transportation system that keeps pace with the needs of this growing population and their transportation needs. I serve on the Transportation Trust because I believe in the potential of this community and residents of Miami-Dade County deserve a first-class transportation system.

This is the fourth update of the Plan as established by the Board of County Commissioners under Ordinance 02-116.

The project status reports, unless otherwise noted, are as of June 30, 2014. The Plan represents an important component of the Trust’s role in monitoring expenditures of PTP funds. In addiƟon to this role the Trust is also proacƟvely engaged in advancing projects in all of the PTP Corridors. A major milestone in that initiaƟve was the 2015 TransportaƟon Summit which was presented in January 2015 in conjuncƟon with Mayor Carlos. A.

The Summit, Advancing the Community’s Vision for Public Transportation, was aƩended by over 500 community leaders and has catalyzed community support for improving transit and transportaƟon in our community.
