Therefore, the County is required by the State to adopt a Transportation Element in lieu of three separate sub-elements: traffic circulation, mass transit, and aviation and rail. The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a multi-modal transportation system that emphasizes accessibility. The Lake County transportation planning process is a collaborative effort among various federal, state, regional, county, and municipal agencies working in close concert with the LSMPO. The LSMPO ensures that highways and roads, public transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and other transportation facilities are coordinated and planned with consistency. An inventory of the existing traffic circulation system has been prepared as the basis for examining the existing roadway deficiencies and determining future roadway needs. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Lake County provide the data necessary for the inventory of the existing system. The traffic circulation system consists of roads within the County which are part of both the State Highway and County Roadway Systems. Lake County has a current traffic circulation system comprised of three types of traffic facilities (arterial, collector and local facilities) that are organized into three separate classifications based on the existing FDOT roadway functional classifications. Inter county, intra-county, and local traffic all use the traffic circulation system within Lake County. The three road classifications, as defined in section 9J-5.003, FAC., are based on the relationship between the movement of traffic and the degree of access to surrounding land uses, and are as follows: Table 1 – Road Classifications Local Road Provides access to local properties and connects them to higher classified roadways Collector Provides a connection between local roads at higher speeds and capacities and connects rural and urban areas. Arterial Arterials are designed to move high volumes of traffic at high speeds over long distances, mostly between counties. Lake County is located in East Central Florida and is bordered by seven counties. The adjoining counties are Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Sumter, and Marion counties. Lake County is composed of 1,157 square miles, with 953 square miles of land area and 204 square miles of water area. Along with a relatively high growth rate, Lake County is characterized by a large number of lakes, low population densities, and a large service area. The hydrography of Lake County – that is, the large number and geographic distribution of lakes – inhibits the establishment of any type of large-scale grid-like road network. Lake County adopted the Lake County 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan on December 14, 2005; it was completed for Lake County by Tindale-Oliver and Associates. This plan contains an extensive analysis of roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation issues, as well as land use and other factors that determine existing and future needs. The result of the plan is a comprehensive schedule of roadway bicycle transit, and pedestrian projects designed to meet as Page 1 of 214 Lake County Planning Horizon

  • Public Transit in Florida
    PUBLIC TRANSIT IN FLORIDA his Handbook offers a general overview of public transit in the State of Florida. The Tinformation in the following pages provides insight into transit’s contribution to meeting the statewide transportation objectives and mission of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Public transit plays an important role in maintaining the livability of Florida’s growing com- munities. Transit not only helps alleviate traffic congestion and improve air quality, but also provides mobility for many of Florida’s citizens, as well as visitors and tourists to the Sunshine State. Transit also plays a critical role in meeting the mobility and accessibility needs of transit-dependent Floridians and visitors who, due to physical handicap, age, or economic disadvantage, cannot drive or own an automobile. By providing mobility and accessibility to millions of Florida’s residents and visitors, transit helps to improve the overall quality of life in Florida’s communities. This Handbook provides a synopsis of FDOT’s transit resources, a profile of Florida’s transit systems, and a snapshot of their performance in 2011. Although there are rural and urban transit systems in Florida, the focus of this handbook is on Florida’s urban fixed-route transit systems. Information about Florida’s demand response transit systems can be obtained from the Annual Operations Report published by Florida’s Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. In 2011, 28 of Florida’s 35 fixed-route transit systems (including bus, rail, and vanpool modes) provided transportation for more than 260 million trips.* FDOT Mission Supporting and improving public transportation in Florida is an integral part of FDOT’s mission, which is “to provide a safe transportation system that ensures the mobility of people and goods, enhances economic prosperity and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.” For more information on FDOT and public transit in Florida, please visit the FDOT web- site: www.dot.state.fl.us, or call (850) 414-4500.

  • Public Transit
    Public Transit Tips on How to Use Transportation Options in Florida SafeMobilityFL.com Finding Your Mobility Independence Florida has many public transit options but you may have questions about how to use them or about their safety. Whether you choose to use public transit because of natural age-related changes, economic changes, or simply because you want to, public transportation can help you achieve safe mobility for life. This guide will help you achieve independence through mobility, while staying safe on public transit. public transportation[ noun ] a system of vehicles such as buses and trains that operate at regular times on fixed routes and are used by the public Cambridge English Dictionary 1 Why use transit? Besides providing an alternative to driving, there are many other benefits to using public transit, ranging from financial and environmental, to health and wellness. Some benefits include: f Increased cost savings from not owning and maintaining a car f Further access to important services and activities f Increased physical activity f Reduced congestion f Lower gas consumption and emissions How can transit improve my health? Research has shown that public transit users are more physically active, since they are more likely to walk or bike to and from transit stations and stops. Regular activity and exercise reduces the risk for developing a wide range of chronic health conditions and physical disabilities. Public transit has also shown to reduce stress and improve mental health by providing safe and affordable access to social and recreational activities, allowing riders to stay actively involved in their communities. 2 Planning Your Trip What does it cost? The average transit fare in Florida is about $1.00 per one-way trip.
