ITEM NUMBER 5

DRAFT 2017 TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PRIORITIES

Georganna Gillette [email protected]

DISCUSSION:

Each year in the spring, the TPO solicits for new transportation project priorities to include bicycle, pedestrian and trail projects from local governments and transportation providers. TPO staff works with each individual municipality and the Florida Department of Transportation to ensure support and documentation for each new project. The projects are discussed with the Growth Management Subcommittee and each one of the TPO committees. The Priority List is finally adopted by the TPO Board and submitted to the Florida Department of Transportation for funding with available state and federal funding. Staff will discuss the new bicycle and pedestrian projects and give an update on any changes to projects.

ITEM NUMBER 6

Presentation RE: TPO Orientation

Sarah Kraum [email protected]

DISCUSSION: Staff will give a presentation on the roles, responsibilities, and functions of a TPO. REQUESTED ACTION:

As desired by the BPTAC

ATTACHMENTS:

TPO Member Orientation BPTAC PowerPoint Presentation


Space Coast TPO (SCTPO)

Orientation


Role of TPO

• Transcend jurisdictional boundaries

• Big Picture – Coordinating, communicating, and planning amongst modes and municipalities


Role of TPO

A TPO is a forum for local elected officials to

coordinate transportation impacts and improvements,

establish transportation policy,

develop transportation plans to fix short and long-term needs,

mutually agree on state- and federally-funded projects to improve regional mobility


TPOs Governed by Federal and State Law

• Federal law –

Areas >50 K pop. must have TPO to spend Federal transportation funds.

Board sets big-picture framework for transportation decisions.

Board has direct authority for TPO plans and programs required to keep transportation funds moving.

Must consider all MODES and involve the public in planning and programming.

Program reviewed annually to determine if federal certification should continue.


• State law –

Maximum 19 members on Governing Board.

Governor approves membership plan every ten years.

Membership to consider “population and geographic” factors.

Alternate members that rep. same jurisdiction as regular member are permitted

Required Advisory Committees Project selection

and funding process

TPOs Governed by Federal and State Law


Space Coast TPO

• Organized by Interlocal Agreement between Brevard local governments, Port Canaveral, FDOT

• Planning area includes all of Brevard County

• Independent organization

• Contract with BCC for admin support and benefits


Unified Planning Work Program

(UPWP)

• Summarizes planning tasks

• Defines work products and timeline for major activities

• PL Funds and Transit Funds

• Estimates cost for each task

• Adopted every two years


Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails

Advisory Committee (BPTAC)

Meetings are typically held on 3rd

Monday of the month at 5:30 pm

Interested members volunteer to serve. Includes citizens and govt. staff. BPTAC, May 22, 2017 Page # 33

TPO Staff • Provide information and technical support

• Fulfil requirements needed to keep funds flowing

• Foster interagency coordination

• Facilitate public input and feedback

• Engage consultants as needed

• Manage the planning process


Reports: Strategic Plan


What does Transportation Planning involve?

Planning is setting a strategy for meeting

a need and/or achieving a desired

outcome

A. Monitor conditions to identify problems

B. Engage the Public on Needs and Solutions

C. Maximize Current System Efficiency


Bicycle and Pedestrian Education @WalkBikeBrevard

In 2016:

• 1,300 bicycle helmets given out

• 56 Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety

Programs

• 53 schools participated

in Walk to School Day Staff: Kim Smith


Transit Coordination

Staff: Sarah Kraum



D. Expand System When Needed

1. Long Range Transportation Plan

2. Bicycle/Pedestrian/Trails Plan(s)

3. Strategic Intermodal System Plan

4. Support and coordinate other agency plans


Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)

• Details improvement needs for all transportation modes

• Includes long and short range goals and strategies

• Identifies funding sources and estimates costs

• Provides framework for choosing transportation projects

• Adopted every five years Staff: Kamm, Carter, Bostel



E. Project Programming 1. WHERE PLANNING MEETS THE MONEY

2. The most important TPO annual action

3. Goal is to move projects from concept to construction

4. Complex process

5. Funds are categorical with many rules

Federal Urban Area Funds (SU)

TPO MANAGED FUNDS

FY 2019 $5.6 Million



• TPO programs SU funds

• Versatile, flexible, many uses

• TPO has directed funds to ITS and

multimodal enhancements

• Need to spend all SU each year so don’t

lose funding


Transportation Improvement

Program (TIP)

• TPO uploads adopted Work Program into Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

• Provides five-year implementation schedule

• Allocates state and federal funds for capital

projects

• Adopted every year

• Only projects in approved TIP

can receive federal funds

Staff: Georganna Gillette



F. Project Implementation 1. TPO does not implement projects

2. TPO tracks progress on projects in the Work Program

3. TPO provides input to ensure local needs are met

4. Projects implemented and programmed by phase in a linear, fixed sequence


5 Steps to Project Implementation

1. Feasibility

2. Project Development & Environment Studies

(PD&E)

3. Design

4. Right of Way

5. Construction

Projects may take 15 years

or more to complete!


Conclusion 1. Things to remember:

How expensive transportation projects are

How long it takes to implement major improvements

There is a process to identify, agree upon and fund important projects

2. Providing transportation in the US involves Federal government

State government

Local government

3. Decision-making process is bottom up beginning with local elected officials sitting on the TPO

For every $1 spent on transportation,

there is a $5 return.
