    e Executive Summary There are many benefits to fixed route transit, although some of these may not be immediately realized or quantified. One potential long-term benefit of these investments is the development and real estate impacts induced by the transit system. Community support for public transit could come more easily if transit systems could demonstrate positive fiscal impacts beyond those achieved through fare box returns. Other than direct operating revenues generated largely from fares, transit systems have the potential to generate additional public revenues through catalyzing development around transit stations and along transit routes, yielding increased property values and property taxes. The quantification of these development-related revenue streams can be a useful input into fiscal analyses of transit investments, and may demonstrate that these systems offer a greater return on investment than traditional cost recovery measures might suggest. This report provides an assessment of the property value changes and development impacts that have occurred around SunRail stations since the system’s opening. Using property appraiser data, the study team estimates tax revenue impacts that resulted from property value changes around the stations. As detailed in this report, the evidence shows that development around stations has been highly variable across the system, with some stations having experienced modest to substantial new development and other no new development of note. However, the evidence does indicate that SunRail stations have generally outperformed control areas that were identified as part of this study. The evidence illustrates that SunRail has yielded some substantial positive property value impacts - and by extension increased property taxes – to the affected jurisdictions.

  • A Better Way to Go!
    A Better Way To Go! 1 SunRail Feeder Bus Operations and Funding Overview FDOT will contract with LYNX and VOTRAN for the operations of feeder bus service to SunRail system: • Feeder bus service will be operated during weekdays (Monday – Friday) during AM and PM peak periods. • FDOT will pay for net operating subsidy (O&M cost less state and federal funding and fare revenue) • Subsidy for initial 7 years of SunRail operation when CFCRC takes over operations • Service levels defined by FDOT in consultation with LYNX and local funding partners FDOT paid local share for purchase of 16 LYNX buses in support of the feeder bus program (TRIP program) Feeder Bus Planning History Coordination with Local Jurisdictions: • City of DeBary/Votran DeBary • Seminole County/Lynx Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood, Altamonte Springs • Orange County/Lynx Maitland, Winter Park, Sand Lake Road • City of Orlando/Lynx Florida Hospital, LYNX Central Station, Church Street, ORMC/Amtrak Coordination began in 2006 Letters of Understanding executed with Lynx and Votran in 2007 Sizing the Feeder Bus Plan How much feeder bus service is needed? • SunRail projected opening year ridership = 4,114 • About 27% of SunRail riders will use bus • About 1/3 of LYNX bus riders will use Lymmo and other local routes for “Last Mile” connections at LCS, Church St. • About 700-800 daily LYNX riders connecting at non-CBD stations 2007 plan was for 9,600 annual hours of LYNX service • In 2012 FDOT agreed to develop funding strategy for peak period service on #111 (OIA). 2013 plan is for 15,259 annual hours of LYNX service • Current plan increases service by 59% • Results in 12-13 riders per bus hour (LYNX average is 26) How much will it cost? Jurisdiction FDOT Seminole County 4,918 Orange County 7,461 Osceola County (18L) 2,880 Incremental Hours = 15,259 Total Annual Cost (FY 2014) = $918,000 Ridership Revenue (20.64%) = $189,000 Net Annual Contract Cost = $729,000 (1) Annual cost based on LYNX’ FY 2013 Regional Model cost per hour = $58.42, less one-half of farebox revenue recovery (20.64%).

  • SIS/Strategic Growth Designation Criteria
    SIS/Strategic Growth Designation Criteria Structure FDOT management has reviewed and approved the revised SIS structure. The new structure will continue to focus on the original intent of SIS and provide a greater focus on a managed system of designated facilities. Structure changes include: • Combine existing SIS and Emerging SIS components • Create Strategic Growth component • Strengthen bi-annual SIS designation reviews • Simplify SIS designation criteria where needed Hub Designation Criteria Strategic Growth Component (For all Hubs and corridors unless otherwise noted) Must meet AT LEAST ONE of the following: • Is the facility projected to meet SIS minimum activity levels within three years of being designated? • Is the facility determined by FDOT to be of compelling state interest, such as serving a unique marketing niche or potentially becoming the most strategic facility in a region that has no designated SIS facility? Must meet ALL of the following: • Does the facility have a current master plan as well as a prioritized list of production ready projects? • Is the facility identified in a local government comprehensive plan, Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), Transit Development Plan, or equivalent? • Does the facility have partner and public consensus on viability of a new or significantly expanded facility? • Does the facility meet Community and Environment screening criteria?

  • Prioritized Project List 2026-2035
    Orlando Urban Area FY 2026/27 – 2034/35 Prioritized Project List Adopted by the MetroPlan Orlando Board on July 7th, 2021 (This page intentionally left blank) FY 2026/27 - 2034/35 Prioritized Project List Executive Summary Introduction Each year, MetroPlan Orlando updates the Prioritized Project List (PPL), a document that lists all the highway, bicycle/pedestrian, transit, and other transportation-related future projects in our three-county region (Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties) that have been deemed cost feasible but have no funding attached currently. These projects are the idea and plan for what is next for our transportation system. The PPL is created in conjunction with the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which contains all of the transportation projects that are programmed for funding over the next five years. The PPL is the technical process to determine what project should be funded next within the TIP. Both the TIP and the PPL are created in accordance with federal guidelines. As written in 23 U.S. Code § 134, all projects that receive federal funding, “shall be selected for implementation from the approved TIP by the metropolitan planning organization designated for the area in consultation with the State and any affected public transportation operator.” While the TIP contains transportation projects that are currently or soon-to-be funded, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan or the MTP) looks further out into the future. The PPL is the bridge between these two documents. The TIP, the PPL, and the MTP, act as our guidance for what should be funded in the short-run and in the long-run.
