The process for selecting, prioritizing, and programming freight projects for funding through sources in FDOT’s Freight and Multimodal Operations (FMO) Office adheres to two guiding principles. First, the methodology needs to be objective, consistent, data-driven, and transparent to all involved in the process. Second, the methodology needs to have the flexibility to align with several facets and tenets that characterize freight mobility and freight system user needs. The FMTP freight project methodology is defined in several steps as described in Figure 1. This methodology allows FMO and other FDOT modal offices to retain control in determining how and when to program and implement specific freight projects pursuant to federal and state funding programs. The complete process provides structure, flexibility, and integrity which equips FMO and the other FDOT modal offices with a decision-making process that ensures projects with the greatest benefit to the state freight system are advanced. Figure 1 | Visualization of Prioritization Process The freight project selection and prioritization process was developed in late 2019 as part of the FMTP update. FMO will transition to this process over the next fiscal year. During the one-year transition, FMO will partially implement the process with only the quantitative analysis of projects. Rather than a call for projects in FY19, FMO will utilize the existing Tier 1 project list. Project Selection and Prioritization 3 Freight Mobility and Trade Plan Step 1: Identification of Projects The process begins with a call for freight projects by FMO. This request is disseminated to the FDOT Districts, MPOs, local jurisdictions, the FLFAC, and other freight stakeholders. FMO also conducts statewide data-driven analysis of issues and needs to identify projects. A Tier 3 Needs List is compiled based on statewide analysis and input from all parties involved. For the purposes of this plan update, a list of freight projects were developed from existing sources - Five Year Work Plan, JACIP, FDOT Rail Plan, NHFP FMO project list, MPOAC project list, SIS First Five, SIS Second Five, SIS Cost Feasible Plan, and the SIS Multimodal Unfunded Needs list. This consolidated list of all freight projects in the state is the Tier 3 list of projects (refer to Appendix A). Step 2: Project Classification and Funding Eligibility Screening FMO screens the Tier 3 Needs List and advances committed projects to the Investment Plan. Additionally, projects which show significant potential as a federal discretionary grant contender are grouped in a portfolio and advanced to the Investment Plan as they are funded. Remaining projects are screened for National Highway Freight Program funding eligibility, resulting in a Tier 2 Needs List. Subsequently, the Tier 2 Needs list will be further screened using the FMO policy framework as described in Table 1. The Tier 2 list of projects are included in Appendix B. In addition, freight projects funded by FMO should align with the following criteria: • NHFP fund allocation should not exceed more than $20 million per project per year • Projects must be ready to implement within 36 months. • Projects must be completed within 6 years. • Projects must be located on the National Highway Freight Network. • Clearly identify the need(s) and develop the business case to justify project selection i. A project need must support the freight needs of the state ii. The project should include information and data that describes what problem and issue the project will solve iii. Where multiple issues exist, a series of projects may be considered as the projects could be mutually supporting. However, each project must have independent utility. Project Selection and Prioritization 4 Freight Mobility and Trade Plan Table 1 | FMO Project Screening Policy - Eligible Project Types NHFP Eligible Project Types Project Type i. Development phase activities including planning, feasibility analysis, revenue forecasting, environmental review, preliminary engineering and design work, and other preconstruction activities. ii. Construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, acquisition of real property (including land relating to the project and improvements to land), construction contingencies, acquisition of equipment, and operational improvements directly relating to improving system performance. iii. ITS or other technology to improve the flow of freight. vi. Railway-highway grade separation. vii. Geometric improvements to interchanges and ramps. viii. Truck-only lane xi. Truck parking facilities (as were eligible under MAP 21 section 1401). xii. Real-time traffic, truck parking, roadway condition, and multimodal transportation information systems. xviii. Intelligent transportation systems that would increase truck freight efficiencies inside the boundaries of intermodal facilities. xix. Additional road capacity to address highway freight bottlenecks. xxii. A highway or bridge project to improve the flow of freight on the National Highway Freight Network (beyond those scopes already previous described). xxiii. Any other surface transportation project to improve the flow of freight into, or out of, one of the following facilities: a. Public or Private freight rail facilities. b. Public or Private water facilities (including ports). c. Intermodal facilities. Project Selection and Prioritization 5 Freight Mobility and Trade Plan Step 3: Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation The next step focuses on an evaluation of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of projects. An eligible freight project must support one or more of the state’s freight objectives as identified in the FMTP. The prioritization methodology is designed to align and prioritize projects to solve freight system needs. FDOT will use multiple data sources, freight performance metrics, and input from the FLFAC and the freight industry to evaluate the current freight network’s ability to meet FMTP objectives. This process will be data led and stakeholder informed to set the conditions for consistency, objectivity, and transparency. FMO will undertake a process to quantify the potential effectiveness of submitted projects in achieving the FMTP Objectives. FDOT may opt to weigh the freight objectives based upon the importance of the freight objectives to the state’s freight mobility needs and input from the FLFAC. The quantitative analysis will be data driven and tied to the freight performance measures of the FMTP. Table 2 shows the quantitative and qualitative assessment frameworks. The quantitative prioritization methodology has been developed to be consistent with the Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) goals and the corresponding Freight Mobility Trade Plan (FMTP) objectives. This methodological framework determines locational prioritization for highway projects based on criteria outlined in the ‘Performance Measures’ and ‘Systems and Assets’ technical memorandums. This methodology is applicable only to evaluating the existing conditions of the given roadway project limits. Criteria are identified for measuring each of the FMTP objectives based on the most recent available data. Appendix D summarizes the description and overview of each measure and the corresponding score range. Scores for each measure are determined based on natural breaks in the datasets.

DESCRIPTORS Information Technology; Library Collections; *Library Development; Library Personnel; *Library Services; Library Statistics; Library Surveys; *Public Libraries; State Programs IDENTIFIERS *Florida; *Library History ABSTRACT The Florida Library History Project (FLHP) began in January 1998. Letters requesting histories were sent to all public libraries in Florida with follow-up letters sent after an initial response was received from the libraries. E-mail messages were sent out to FL-LIB listservs encouraging participation in the project. A poster session was presented by Catherine Jasper at the 1998 Florida Library Association (FLA) Annual Conference, an event that marked FLA's 75th anniversary. At the end of this funding period, 89 library systems and organizations had provided histories. These have been compiled and are reproduced in this volume as submitted by participating libraries. Highlights include library founding, collections, services, budgets and expenditures, personnel, funding, survey results, technology, and developments.
