There was a request for an electronic copy of the presentation to be sent to the group. It was suggested that the group consider all technologies for the project. An inquiry was made regarding how existing pilot projects, such as the Ferry or the Central Avenue BRT, would fit into the mold that has been preempted. The projects will be included as part of the regional vision. A concern was expressed regarding merging the timing of the various projects together. A suggestion was made to consider incorporating TBX into the project. An inquiry was made regarding autonomous technology on-demand and how it will impact transit ridership. Comments were made regarding how the TMA can assist in facilitating conversation about putting together a funding package for the project. A suggestion was made to be sure to include all eight counties within the region. TBARTA and Ray Chiaramonte were thanked for their hard work with the eight counties. There is a van and carpool product on TBARTA’s website that is continuing to grow. All modes of transportation need to be considered during the project. Proactively communicate with people who may have different viewpoints. It was suggested to visit Broward County and see how their infrastructure is working. Public outreach engagement to the disadvantaged, the business community, and others was recommended. Mr. Pringle agreed to come back and provide routine progress updates. It was requested that the Regional Premium Transit Study update be incorporated on the meeting agendas as a regular agenda item. SUNTrail Update - Ray Chiaramonte Executive Director, TBARTA Ray Chiaramonte, TBARTA Executive Director, began the update. Chris Speese, FDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner, and Anthony Matonti from TBARTA have been working on the project. There were three levels of funding that were involved in the $44M that were allocated for 2016 and 2017. Of that, $11.1M (26% of the total) was received for the region. $10M of that was allocated towards the Southwest Coastal Regional Trail. The first level is to finish coast to coast, the second level is to finish a trail near the east coast, and the third level is discretionary funding. 40% of the entire discretionary funding was given to the region. Funding was received for the following projects: the Dunnellon Trail Connector, the Good Neighbor Trail Gap in Brooksville/Hernando, the Pinellas Trail, Courtney Campbell Trail Pedestrian Overpass, the Van Fleet Trail Bridge in Polk County, and Charlotte/Lee County receiving approximately three projects each. Mr. Chiaramonte invited everyone to attend the Regional Trails Summit being held on January 23 in southern Sarasota County. Hospitals are becoming very involved in trail issues. Need to lock down what the route of the trails are. Chris Speese informed the group that applications for FY18 to FY21 are still being reviewed at the central office, and a timeline has not been given regarding when the announcement will be made. Following the presentation, there were comments from members. Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, and Sarasota counties did not receive any funding. A correction was needed to the map: the southern Duke Energy Trail is listed as planned and funded, but it is not funded. Funding goes to trail projects that complete connections. The next step with the Maydell Bridge is an environmental study. It was requested for a future meeting to include a presentation from Greenways and Trails. Florida Greenways and Trails representatives will be present at the summit on January 23.
