Needless to say, the authors alone are responsible for the accuracy of information presented and opinions expressed in the report. KTA & CSI: VPPP Lessons Learned Final Report (August 2008) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview The purpose of this “Lessons Learned Report” is to summarize projects sponsored by FHWA’s Congestion and Value Pricing Pilot Programs from 1991 through 2006, synthesizing project experience, drawing implications for federal and project level roles and looking forward to future roles for pricing strategies. The 24 projects selected for review have been grouped into the following six categories of pricing strategies: • HOT lane conversions with pricing • Variable pricing of new express lanes • Variable pricing on existing toll facilities • Regionwide variable pricing initiatives • Making driver costs variable • Other pricing projects Background The Value Pricing Pilot Program (VPPP) has been a key component of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT’s) coordinated program to assist state and local governments in their efforts to stem the tide of escalating congestion costs. Since its inception in 1991, Federal pricing pilot programs have sponsored over 50 pricing projects and studies in 14 states. Projects and evaluations span a diverse group represented by the six broad concept categories described earlier. Of these, over twenty projects became operational. These projects and studies have generated invaluable lessons pertaining to the design, assessment, acceptability, implementation, administration and evaluation of pricing concepts. More than a dozen pricing projects implemented in the U.S. during the past 15 years have demonstrated that pricing can be politically and publicly acceptable. Most of the projects have met their objectives without any significant controversy. By influencing travel behavior, pricing projects have prevented congestion from occurring on priced lanes, reduced congestion on toll facilities, and improved utilization of highway capacity. Yet, issues remain with regard to public attitudes toward pricing; equity concerns; and acceptance. Technical problems have also stalled or delayed several projects. This report summarizes the promises and challenges of value pricing, and describes how these challenges are being addressed. KTA & CSI: VPPP Lessons Learned Final Report (August 2008) Findings For each project category, this section describes: • Impacts (congestion reduction and performance, cost/revenues, energy and environment, equity) • Implementation and operation details (planning and policy, outreach and stakeholder involvement, acceptability and politics, institutional issues, administration and enforcement); and evaluation • Lessons and implications for planners and managers Travel and Traffic Impacts With few exceptions, variable pricing strategies across categories have met their principal travel and traffic objectives. Pricing programs have demonstrated that pricing can have a number of effects on driver behavior and traffic volumes, including: changes in times trips are made, routes, or modes of travel; willingness to pay for faster travel times by traveling on toll lanes; reductions in peak-period traffic volumes and more efficient use of highway capacity. In particular: • HOT Lane conversions have gained better use of underutilized HOV lanes, kept lanes congestion free and not slowed or dissuaded HOV users. Also, there is some, albeit non-conclusive, evidence HOT lane conversions have brought relief

FORT MYERS: FROM RAFTS TO BRIDGES IN FORTY YEARS by Nell Colcord Weidenbach The Caloosahatchee, a gem among rivers, is a familiar sight to motorists approaching South Florida via the Gulf coast. Since Florida was first burped up from the briny deep in some vague prehistoric era, the wide blue waters of the “River Beautiful” have been drifted upon, poled across, swum in, fought for, used and misused. The pirate “Black Caesar” knew the river well. Ponce de Leon explored it greedily. Seminoles and soldiers played cat and mouse in its coves for many years. For centuries, anybody who wanted to cross the river in the vicinity of today’s Fort Myers was forced to swim or float, like the ’gators and the manatees, in its shallow waters.

Rationale Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'A-' rating on Lee County, Fla.'s transportation facilities revenue bonds. The outlook is stable. The rating reflects our assessment of the credit profile of a three-bridge system that has stable operating margins, no additional debt needs, and traffic trends that have not yet stabilized. More specifically, the rating reflects what Standard & Poor's considers: • A well-balanced financial operations with the Sanibel Causeway, Cape Coral Bridge, and Midpoint Memorial Bridge representing approximately 37%, 32%, and 31% of fiscal 2011 net revenues, respectively; • A lack of significant competition from toll-free roads, combined with the county's covenant not to build competing facilities unless they will become part of the three-bridge system; and • Historically good senior debt service coverage, which has been no less than 1.7x since 2008, despite lower traffic

As with previous semiannual reports, the performance data presented herein is compared to data from the same period in the previous fiscal year. This document will follow essentially the same format as the prior report. Any changes in methodology or data sources will be noted in the document. During March 2020, the last month in the first half of the fiscal year, the Lee County toll facilities began experiencing negative impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lee County suspended all cash toll collections starting March 18, 2020 on all three toll facilities, offering only transponder or Toll-by-Plate payments. COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact Lee County toll facilities during the second half of the fiscal year, which will be reported in the FY 2020 Annual Report. These negative impacts can be attributed to social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders throughout the State of Florida. This has resulted in the closings of schools, restaurants, malls, sporting events, beaches and other public venues. As a result, many people have been furloughed or lost their jobs.

Longtime Sanibel resident Michael LaTona's plans to install at the Sanibel-Captiva Islands Chamber of a fountain/sculpture of a boy ftffiffgH dolphin went awry when his idea was presented to the City Council Nov. 6. It started with a debate as to whether the sculpture should be considered a structure or a graphic (sign). It was pointed out that the red sculpture at Schoolhouse Gallery is considered to be a structure. If the sculpture is determined to be a graphic, it would only need a variance to the graphic ordinance so that the chamber would be allowed to have two "signs" instead of one. The request would be heard by the City Council.

    Florida Department of Transportation Debt & Debt-Like Financing Report FISCAL YEAR 2020 Prepared & Published by: Office of Comptroller General Accounting Office Revenue Management Section (850) 414-4866 Debt and Debt-Like Financing Report Florida Department of Transportation The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT or Department) is an executive agency and directly reports to the Governor of the State of Florida. FDOT’s continuing mission 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. This mission is accomplished through a primary purpose to plan and develop (either directly or indirectly) Florida’s robust transportation system. The unique nature of the Sunshine State and its year-round warm climate provides numerous opportunities to move people and goods through multiple modes including highways/streets, air, rail, sea, spaceports, transit, and ever- expanding deployment of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Department is committed to building a transportation system that not only fits the current needs of Florida’s residents and visitors but also enhances mobility throughout the state to accommodate its consistent and rapid growth. The primary purpose of the Debt & Debt-Like Financing Report is to provide information about the FDOT debt and debt-like financing programs and controls as of June 30, 2020 (except as noted otherwise in this report). It is not an offer to sell securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities nor shall there be any sale of securities of any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
