Page 2 Transit Development Plan, 2016 Major Update BACKGROUND: Each transit agency in Florida that receives transit block grant funding is required to prepare a Transit Development Plan to ensure that the provisions of public transportation services are consistent with the travel needs and mobility goals of the local communities that are served by the system. The plan covers a ten-year period with a major update every five years, with minor updates in each of the interim years. This update is a major update which requires an approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The plan includes five elements. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The public involvement plan is developed to receive input from the community. Input was collected from transit customers, agency stakeholders, elected officials, bus drivers, and the general public. This input was collected through meetings, phone calls, interviews and surveys. The results of this input fall into 2 categories; response from riders and responses from the public. Results from the public indicated significant support for public transportation within the community. Most agreed that effective public transportation is important for the economy and that public transportation should be improved to reduce congestion. The majority of respondents stated the biggest need for public transportation was in the St. Augustine/St. Augustine Beach area. EVALUATION OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM Service Description Existing services include a fixed route system and a demand response/paratransit system. The fixed route system serves St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, the Town of Hastings, Flagler Estates, the St. Augustine Outlet malls and the Avenues Mall in Jacksonville. These areas are serviced with 7 routes, operating 8 buses. Service hours are from 5:30 AM to 8:05 PM Monday through Saturday. The regular fare is $1.00 per trip, an all-day pass is $3.00 and a monthly pass is $30.00. A half fare is available on all fare prices to seniors, children under 6, persons with disabilities and students. Over the last 5 years the ridership has increased over 30%. In 2000, when the service was first introduced, ridership was 8,184. In 2015, the total ridership was 277,316. The Demand Response/paratransit system provides service to those unable to use the fixed route system. Those served include the elderly, disabled, economically disadvantaged, children at risk and individuals with no other means of transportation. The hours of regular service are from 4 AM through 6:30 PM Monday thru Saturday. On some occasions service can be provided outside of regular hours. Most service is provided within the County but some out of County trips are provided, mainly to Jacksonville. Population Profile This population profile is based on the Northeast region of Florida to include Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns counties. St. Johns has the fastest growing population in Northeast Florida, at 3.7% annually. It is second in total population for Northeast Florida with Page 3 Transit Development Plan, 2016 Major Update 13.7% of the population; Duval is the largest with 56.3%. In 2014, the total population in the urban areas of St. Johns County was 158,093 with a total County population of 217,919. Note that federal funding for public transportation is based on the St. Augustine Urbanized area with a total population of 75,492 in 2014. Population Density and Demographics In the St. Augustine Urbanized area the greatest population densities are generally north and south of King Street, between Masters Dr. and SR A1A; the St. Augustine South area; east of Anastasia Blvd; near the Bridge of Lions; St. Augustine Beach south of SR 312 between SR A1A and A1A Beach Blvd.; and along SR A1A north of SR 206. Employment Characteristics The highest concentrations of employment are within the St. Augustine Urbanized Area, generally along US 1 near King St. and near SR 312. There are 35 private companies with 100 or more employees, and 67% of those companies are within the St. Augustine Urbanized Area. Major public employers include St. Johns County, the St. Johns County Sheriff Office and the cities of St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach. Commuting Characteristics 80 % of workers drive alone 55% of County residents work within the County 40% of County residents commute to Duval County (59% of those workers live in Fruit Cove) ALTERNATIVES AND STRATEGIES To attract new customers, the recommendation is to expand existing routes and add new routes. See map attached for existing and proposed routes. In the future, this will include more frequent service on weekdays and Sunday service. Specific route change recommendations include adding new service between St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach, and new service to the Outlet Mall/World Golf Village area. Capital Improvements include vehicle replacement and expansion to support new routes, installation of bus shelters and amenities, and coordination with Jacksonville Transportation Authority to construct a park and ride and bus bay facility with amenities. TEN-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN/FINANCIAL PLAN The Transit Development Plan’s (TDP) financial strategy includes cost and revenue estimates for transit enhancements over the ten-year period of 2017-2026. Estimates represent order of magnitude estimated costs for both operating and capital improvements. Applying current service characteristics and anticipated revenues, the financial plan utilized a TDP financial planning tool developed by FDOT. The implementation of these service improvements will depend on actual funding availability, recommendations from the on-going comprehensive operations analysis, and actual service plans. Page 4 Transit Development Plan, 2016 Major Update Costs and revenues for the ten-year period: Revenues identified are based on information from County and COA staff for FY 2016 and FY 2017, and represent federal, state, and local sources. Total costs are approximately $52.3 million over the ten years. Revenues are estimated to be $35.1 million over the same time period, resulting in an estimated shortfall of $17.1 million in unfunded needs. The vast majority of unfunded needs are from increases in deviated fixed route service as well as maintaining demand response services.

  • Transit Project Delivery CBT Transcript
    NEPA Introduction Course: Transit Project Delivery Welcome to the National Environmental Policy Act also known as NEPA Introduction Course on Transit Project Delivery provided by the Florida Department of Transportation’s or FDOT’s Office of Environmental Management, as covered in Part 1, Chapter 14 of the Project Development and Environment (or PD&E) Manual. This course provides an overview of the transit project delivery process, agency roles in the environmental review process, an overview of FDOT’s five-step process, which includes planning and community support, concept development and alternatives screening, PD&E study phases, and the Federal Transit Administration’s, or FTA’s, funding programs. Lesson 1 provides an overview of transit projects and NEPA, including definitions used for transit projects, an introduction to the FTA, and a comparison of how NEPA is conducted for FTA versus the Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA. If a federal action is required or federal funding is being used, the project must comply with NEPA and other applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those related to historic preservation and protection of public lands. FTA is typically the lead agency for transit projects, when FTA funding is being used to construct the project or purchase vehicles. Other agencies may be involved in the NEPA process, such as Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA, if the project involves an interstate facility or bridge, or the Federal Railroad Administration or FRA, if the project involves a freight or passenger railroad corridor, such as Amtrak. FTA has its own procedures for NEPA compliance, including requiring the NEPA or project development phase to be completed within two years for certain funding programs.

  • Egis Awarded Two Autonomous Vehicle Projects in Dubai and the USA
    28 March 2018 Mobility Egis awarded two autonomous vehicle projects in Dubai and the USA Egis has just signed two contracts for autonomous vehicle projects: a project in Dubai on the artificial island Bluewaters, and a project in the US city of Jacksonville, Florida. In response to the emergence of new challenges in mobility, many engineers, designers and automakers have set about developing new and sometimes revolutionary projects to change the way we get around. Among these projects, autonomous vehicles stand out as a significant breakthrough. To develop these solutions, highly advanced research in infrastructure engineering and mobile robotics is being conducted in countries around the world. Scalable capacity shuttles in Dubai, United Arab Emirates “Bluewaters” is a modern, family-oriented island destination with a pioneering spirit that blends waterfront living with the exhilaration of urban city life. A colorful destination by Meraas complementing Dubai’s spectacular coastline and skyline, the island boasts residential, retail, dining, hospitality, leisure and entertainment facilities and is home to the world’s tallest and largest observation wheel: “Ain Dubai”.. An automated ground rapid transit (GRT) system will connect “Bluewaters” with the Dubai Metro in the residential district in a journey time of under five minutes. Using a dedicated 2.8km road with two separate lanes, running mainly on an elevated structure, it will offer shared travel to between six and 24 people per vehicle, modulated according to the time of the day. Its capacity thereby offers scalability ranging from an on-demand system during off-peak hours to a system that can carry up to 2,500 people per hour per direction during peak time.

  • State Highway 119 Roadwork Near I-25
    State Highway 119 Roadwork near I-25 Project Overview In March 2016, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) began a rebuilding and resurfacing project on State Highway (SH) 119 from East County Line Rd to I-25. The project includes rebuilding and resurfacing of the roadway, erosion control measures and installation of adaptive traffic signal hardware along with replacing curb and gutter. As of May 2016, there has been over 7,100 square yards of asphalt roadway, curb and sidewalk removed. At the conclusion of the project, the roadway will be able to better withstand any future flooding events including a loss of shoulder or lanes. The roadway will be comprised of concrete, resulting in less maintenance and a smoother surface. The contractor on this $14.9 million project is Castle Rock Construction Company of Colorado. Working Hours and Impacts Normal working hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Potential limited night and weekend work can be expected. Posted speed limits will change throughout the construction zone. Please use caution and stay alert while travelling through the construction zone. Intersections will be maintained during construction, with temporary alignments for turn lanes at certain areas. Business access will be maintained throughout the construction zone. Zipper Merging Zipper merging from multiple lanes to a single lane will happen throughout the project. Zipper merging benefits individual drivers as well as the public at large. Dangerous lane switching, crashes and road rage decrease when motorists use both lanes until reaching the defined merge area and then alternate into the open lane.
