The Palm Beach TPA rebranded the organization from Palm Beach MPO in December 2017. Palm Beach County stretches from Lake Okeechobee in the Glades area to the Atlantic Ocean including 39 municipalities, 1,970 square miles of land, and 413 square miles of water. Every five years, the TPA is required to review and update the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The LRTP provides a strategic 25-year outlook that leads investment and decision-making today to accomplish the TPA’s vision. The TPA’s transportation planning process encompasses all modes and users with in-depth consideration of non-motorized modes of transportation to promote equity, as well as an emphasis on both short- and long-term implementation. The 2045 LRTP details how Palm Beach County’s multimodal transportation system will evolve throughout the 25 years between 2020 and 2045.

The existing pedestrian facilities include 1,164 miles of sidewalks. Of the existing roadway network, about 52% have a sidewalk on both sides of the roadway, 22% have a sidewalk along one side of the roadway, and 26% have no sidewalk at all. Existing Pathways, Shared-Use Paths, WIDER PATHS and Greenways In addition to the pedestrian network, there are wider paved paths referred to as pathways (8’ to 9’) and shared-use paths (10’+) as well as greenways (unpaved paths). Pedestrians and bicyclists can use these facilities. The types of wider paths include the following mileage: • Pathways – 294 miles • Shared-Use Paths – 62 miles • Greenways – 155 miles 6 Existing Bicycle Facilities BICYCLE FACILITIES Palm Beach County has an array of roadway bicycle facilities including shared lane markings (sharrows) and undesignated, designated, buffered, and separated bicycle lanes. There are bikeshare facilities in the City of West Palm Beach and other local municipalities are exploring having bikeshare as well. The type of bicycle facilities on Federal-Aid Eligible Roadways include the following mileage: • Buffered Bicycle Lanes – 13 miles • Designated Bicycle Lanes – 200 miles • Sharrows – 6 miles Existing Transit Service TRANSIT The transit network in Palm Beach County consists of three (3) main transit systems: Palm Tran, Tri-Rail, and Virgin Trains USA. The transit network includes bus and rail service as well as transit hubs where three (3) or more transit routes connect. Local circulator systems, such as trolleys and shuttles, are also present throughout the county. 77 FREIGHT Airports and the Port of Palm Beach provide both passenger and freight transport for Palm Beach County. Railway corridors serve local, regional, and statewide freight and passenger movement. Trucks delivering and picking up goods travel on most roadways within the county. The heavily traveled corridors that have the highest concentration of truck traffic are identified as “Designated Truck Routes” and represent roadways with more than 1,000 daily truck trips. Freight Facilities Designated Truck Route 8 Roadway Designation ROADWAY Palm Beach County contains 6,668 total centerline miles of roadways that handle 38.5 million vehicle miles traveled daily. The roadway network is a hierarchy of various classifications that balance the mobility and accessibility needs of users. The roadway functional classification assigns roadways according to the character of service provided in relation to the total roadway network. Roadways with a higher functional classification, such as arterials, provide greater Functional Classification mobility with less accessibility while a local roadway provides greater accessibility with less mobility. The roadway designation includes the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) and National Highway System (NHS). SIS highway, rail, and waterways are categorized into three (3) types; Emerging, Connector, and Corridor.
