2035 Long Range Transportation Plan
Update
2035 Long Range Transportation Plan
Update
MPOs currently developing 2035 Regional Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTPs)
LRTP represents a long-term vision for the counties’ transportation systems = a blueprint for the future
LRTP documents the transportation process of each county ensuring proper management and efficient transportation operations
LRTP complements regional planning initiatives
Collier and Lee MPOs approved their 2030 LRTPs in 2005 (amended in 2007)
Must update every 5 years
Must look at a 20-year horizon to 2035 Will produce 2 separate LRTPs that present
a transportation vision unique to each county
Each will include a “regional” component that identifies bi-county highway needs to improve regional mobility
Support the economic vitality of each county
Increase safety for motorized and non-motorized users
Increase the security for motorized/non-motorized users
Increase accessibility and mobility
Protect and enhance the environment
Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system
Promote efficient system management and operation
Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system
Identify Goals and Objectives
Collect and Analyze Data
Assess Needs & Identify Transportation Vision
Define/Develop Projects
Evaluate Projects Against Goals:
Financial Constraint
Environmental Justice
Air Quality Conformity
Recommend Preferred Plan
MPO Adoption/Implementation
Identify Goals and Objectives (G&Os)
Sets the framework to guide the LRTP; reflects desires of community
Use 2030 G&Os as base for developing new and/or refined G&Os
Develop combined goals, which will be filtered through the TAC and CAC
From there, develop county-wide G&Os
Also consider new federal legislation (CLEAN-TEA) in framing G&Os
GOAL 1 - Multi-ModalA multi-modal transportation system that is balanced and integrated with all transportation modes to ensure safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
GOAL 2 - Safety and SecurityA transportation system that is safe and secure.
GOAL 3 - Emergency ResponsivenessA transportation system that enhances emergency responsiveness and evacuation.
GOAL 4 - Sensitive to Socio-Cultural ElementsA transportation system that is sensitive to the effects to the socio-cultural elements of the communities, the community character and environmental resources.
GOAL 5 - Sustainability
A sustainable transportation system that enhances economic growth and
anticipates development demands.
GOAL 6 - Optimize through Technology
A transportation system that is maintained, optimized and expanded using the best available technologies and innovations.
GOAL 7 - Financial Feasibility
A transportation system that is financially feasible.
GOAL 8 - Agency Coordination
A transportation system that is coordinated through local, regional and state agencies and based on effective integration of transportation, land use, conservation and smart growth planning.
Develop a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) which is a guide to all outreach activities and communications
Include a menu of tools to provide 2-way communication
Include outreach to underserved, minority, tribal and low-income populations
Develop community characteristics reports to understand their make-up
Define means of tracking all activities and comments (Project Diary)
Population and Demographics
County and State Comparison
Household Characteristics
Sales History
Transportation Characteristics
Currently available for Collier County; Lee County is in the process of finalizing.

Review data from existing LRTPs and related documents, traffic model, land uses and socioeconomic conditions to ensure validity
Validate existing model data (2007), i.e., validate ability to replicate actual travel behavior
As needed, change data/inputs that go into traffic model (dwelling units, population, employment, land use, road network characteristics, etc.) to reflect reality
Evaluate demographic data and travel trends

Assess Needs/Identify Transportation Vision
Assess needs based on travel demand, financial feasibility, efficient movement (of people and freight), satisfying G&Os
Identify initial set of projects
Present projects to public at workshop (planned for Spring 2010)
Provide ample opportunities for comment
Identify problem areas and projects which concern the public
Begin to identify transportation vision
Define and Develop Projects
Use projects from 2030 LRTP as a base
Include all modes of transportation, intermodal facilities and connectors, regional outlooks
Determine those that are cost feasible, i.e., “what can be built using available funding”?
Include projects that meet a regional demand
Safety of drivers
Improved traffic flow
Consider neighborhood concerns
Consider environmentally-sensitive areas
Improve existing highways before building new highways
Emergency access/evacuation
Regional connections
Delivering goods/freight movement
Cost-Effective
Provides travel option to non-drivers
Reduces # of automobiles on road
Provides connections to urban employment centers and major destinations
Meets travel needs of those near bus stops
Better for air quality
Can provide service-oriented uses near bus stops/station areas
Provides interregional connections and identifies premium express corridors
Cost-Effective
Provides connections to existing bikeways and bus services
Improves current bike and sidewalk conditions
Draws community support
Provides health benefits
Better for air quality
Works well with good land use planning
Provides needed connections to schools, parks, shops, etc.
Cost-Effective
Determine whether the projects meet G&Os
Consider other criteria, including traffic demand, air quality, socioeconomics, environmental impacts, noise, costs, etc.
The travel demand model is critical at this point, as well as public input
Begins the process of developing the cost feasible plan
Recommend Preferred Projects/Plan
The recommended Plan includes all modes of transportation and adheres to federal requirements
Must meet criteria of building “safe and efficient transportation systems”
Through a collaborative effort between the MPOs and public, begin to develop a Cost Feasible Plan
Boards Adopt and Implement LRTPs
The recommended LRTP will be presented to MPO Boards in late 2010
The MPO Boards adopt the Plan
When adopted, the LRTP becomes the basis from which individual projects are developed
The Plans may be amended as conditionschange and/or if new legislation comes intoeffect
