This document helps to create reliable projections for future needs. Key elements of the TDP include the Public Involvement Plan (PIP) and goal-setting. An On-Board Survey was conducted in January 2018 to help gather information on ridership. A Platform Survey will be conducted in March to help identify potential improvements to ridership and amenities. WSP was selected as the consultant team that will work in conjunction with the Internal Review Committee. Ms. Yesbeck noted that, as done in previous years, the PTAC will serve as the steering committee for the TDP development. This item will be brought back to PTAC for endorsement.

  • South Florida Transit Resource Guide
    SECOND EDITION Improving the Connection between Transit and Land Use SOUTH FLORIDA TRANSIT RESOURCE GUIDE June 2015 June 15, 2015 Dear Colleague: The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) is pleased to introduce the second edition of the South Florida Transit Resource Guide, which demonstrates the vital connection between transportation and land use throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. The first edition was well received and was awarded an honorable mention in the 2010 Transportation Planning Excellence Awards sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Decisions involving transportation and land use directly affect our quality of life and the economic vitality of the region. The choices we make influence how much free time we have, where we live and work, our recreational activities, how we travel, the state of our environment, and so much more. The SFRTA seeks to coordinate, develop and implement, in cooperation with all appropriate levels of government, private enterprise and citizens a regional transportation system in South Florida that ensures mobility, the advancement of sustainable growth and improvement in the quality of life for future generations. Increased development around Tri-Rail stations not only positively impacts Tri-Rail ridership, but can also influence regional growth as it pertains to transportation and land use. Station area- development decisions are governed by the city or county in which each station is located. This publication profiles the many factors which affect how the cities and counties promote station- area development. In summary, we hope this document provides the information needed to help communities and organizations make decisions which can improve the connection between land use and transportation.

  • 2017 Annual Report FINAL.Pdf
    As Chair of the Broward MPO Board, it is my honor to showcase the work of the Organization in this year’s Annual Report. Through the Strategic Business Plan, the Board has set a directional course for the MPO, and the recent revision of the Plan will further position us to be a leading MPO, not just in Florida but across the nation. This past year, the Board has taken several decisions that will improve our transportation system and strengthen the region for years to come. Board Members voted to move forward with the SW 10th Street Connector Project, which will provide a crucial link between I-95 and the Sawgrass Expressway, improving the movement of people and freight. We continue to fund Complete Streets projects with this year’s adopted Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) having over 140 miles of programmed Complete Streets projects. That TIP contains a total of $5.2 billion dollars in projects to be funded over the next five years. We also funded 10 projects through a new and innovative program known as the Complete Streets and Localized Initiatives Program (CSLIP). The first of these projects will be built as early as 2020. We recognize the increased traffic in our region, and are working to address the problem. Due to limitations on available land to widen roads, our focus has been on improving traffic light signalization, enhancing public transportation, and focusing on hot spots where traffic backs up and never seems to clear. With the participation of our 31 member cities, we are starting to identify those hot spots, and are looking at context sensitive solutions to get traffic moving.

  • The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element
    The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element prepared for the Florida Department of Transportation prepared by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.

  • 3.0 Passenger Rail Services and Initiatives in Florida
    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 3.0 Passenger Rail Services and Initiatives in Florida 3.1 Overview Although Florida’s total population shrunk by about 60,000 residents in 2009 – a first in over three decades according to state demographers – and overall population growth rates have declined three points to approximately 2 percent annually due in large part to the nationwide recession and declining housing market, the State is expected to continue to attract retirees and residents looking for warmer weather and low costs of living. State demographers at the University of Florida predict that once the recession ends, Florida can expect to grow as much as 200,000 people per year – fewer than the 300,000 a year the State averaged during the past three decades, but enough to lead most other states in net growth. By 2035, more than 25 million people will call Florida home, representing a 56 percent increase between 2000 and 2035.45 In absolute terms, Florida will add over 9 million people to its population between this time period. Furthermore, although much of Florida’s growth will be concentrated in urbanized areas, growth will occur across Florida’s regions and urbanized area boundaries will expand across county lines. Florida’s density per square mile was 344 according to the 2009 Census and was ranked the eighth densest state in the nation. Population growth, and the associated transportation demand, will place additional pressure on all aspects of the State’s transportation system. A growing population not only adds automobiles to roadways, but the increase in economic activity to support this population also will generate additional demands for freight movement.

  • RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
    2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle.
