Transportation Funding WorkshopNova Southeastern University
December 10, 2012
To plan for the provision of integrated and efficient transportation facilities and services in Miami-Dade County while ensuring the highest possible level of community participation in the transportation planning process.
2,464 square miles in area and over 2.3 million residents
34 municipalities and unincorporated Miami-Dade County
In 1973, the Federal Transportation Act mandated that each urbanized area (50,000 or more population) establish a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), to ensure integrated metropolitan transportation planning.
Federal formula funds support MPOs.
Federal law required that the Governor of the state designate the agency to serve as the MPO.
MPOs in cooperation with the State, develop transportation plans and programs for the respective urban areas.
In developing such plans and programs, MPOs consider all modes of transportation and the process is to be continuing, cooperative and comprehensive (3-Cs).
The authority of the MPO resides in the MPO Governing Board.
To receive federal transportation funds the MPO shall: Manage a transportation planning process
Produce plans and programs consistent with Federal, State and Local government comprehensive plans and established guidelines
Provide a forum for a cooperative decision-making process and citizen involvement
Be federally certified
Prepare the Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTP) for the area (20-year Plan).

The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a multi-modal plan for major roadways, airport and seaport surface access, transit and intermodal facilities
Includes short and long-range strategies
It’s a 20-year planning horizon
Complies with state and federal requirements
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) lists Improvements to be implemented during the next 5 years
It is the capital improvements element of the 20-year LRTP
The first year is the current Funded Annual Element and the remaining four are the future proposed funded elements
Identifies funding levels by source and type
Type of projects in the TIP, among others:
Capacity Improvements for highways and transit
Preservation
Right-of-way acquisition
The TIP identifies all sources of funding are federal, state and local levels which are known to be available during the program period, among them:
Priorities in the program are identified by relative staging of projects for implementation during a particular year, consistent with funding availability and production constraints.

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) defines transportation planning activities to be managed by the MPO that are to be completed during a given two-year period.
Tasks in the UPWP are divided into eight elements: Administration
Data Collection
TIP
LRTP
Special Projects
Regional Planning
Public Participation
System Planning The UPWP also includes the Municipal Grant Program whereby municipalities are granted funds to prepare relevant transportation planning studies.
One popular task of the UPWP is the MGP
The MPO solicits Miami-Dade County Municipalities to submit transportation planning proposals to be funded under a competitive program.
Each proposal has to include a 20% match.
Proposals are evaluated by the MGP Committee and ranked them for funding allocation
The MPO programs $150,000/year for the MGP in the UPWP
