1 2035 Floria - labama LONG RNGE TRNSPORTTION PLN SUMMRY REPORT November 20

2 TPO Overview The Floria-labama TPO (Transportation Planning Organization) is an inepenent regional transportation planning agency for Escambia ounty, Santa Rosa ounty an portions of alwin ounty, labama. The TPO covers an area of over 2,200 square miles an is populate by nearly 450,000 citizens. The 18-member TPO oar is mae up of electe officials. Funing for the TPO comes from feeral an state grants, member municipalities, an transportation agencies. The TPO partners with agencies, governments an the public to ientify an prioritize mobility nees, evelop mobility plans an programs, seek an coorinate funing, an assemble resources through outreach an consensus builing. Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Overview Every five years the plan is upate. The TPO maintains the region s LRTP to guie ecisionmaking an investment in its mobility system. Transportation projects must be inclue in the LRTP to receive state an feeral funing, an all projects in the LRTP must have projecte cost an funing sources ientifie. The Plan is require to have at least a 20-year time horizon an must aress major roaway, transit, freight, bicycle an peestrian, an intelligent transportation system (ITS) nees. Since the 2025 upate was complete in 2005, we ve seen changes in our economy that affect how we live, travel, an pay for our transportation improvements. Our views on how we shoul plan for future growth continue to evolve. y 2035, our region is expecte to grow by approximately 113,000 people, 47,000 househols an 40,000 jobs. This upate, calle Transportation lueprint 2035, takes these changes into account. We have combine a rigorous technical analysis with a multi-facete comprehensive public involvement process to provie mobility alternatives for Northwest Floria s future. How will we travel to work, shopping an recreational activities in 2035? What moes of transportation will take us there? The LRTP inclues a Nees Plan an a ost Feasible Plan. The Transportation lueprint 2035 Nees Plan is not constraine by project costs or available funing. It was evelope with extensive public outreach an coorination with local an state government agencies. Development of the 2035 ost Feasible Plan require an evaluation of overall transportation systems nees within the context of available financial resources for mobility projects. In aition, this Plan is require to ientify the year in which the expeniture of funs for each project is expecte to occur. The ost Feasible Plan must consier the amount of funing available for mobility projects through the 2035 horizon year. Therefore, the ost Feasible Plan typically matches the highest priority nees with anticipate future funs. Only those financial resources that can reasonably be expecte to be available can be use to ientify existing an forecaste revenues.

3 The process followe for the Transportation lueprint 2035 Plan Upate is below. VISIONING GOLS & OJETIVES NEEDS PLN FINNIL RESOURES OST FESILE PLN PLN DOPTION Goals & Objectives Defining goals an objectives is an important step in the upate of the LRTP. These goals an objectives are the policy statements of the Floria-labama TPO an serve as the guiing principles for the evelopment of the plan upate. In aition, the Goals an Objectives serve as the basis for the Project Evaluation riteria. These criteria assiste the TPO in the selection an ranking of projects to be inclue in the ost Feasible Plan. The LRTP Focus Group, mae up of business an community leaers, met to ientify key features of the region. These features range from what makes the region special to what is neee to make the region grow an prosper over the next 20 years. That input was use to raft the Goals an Objectives for the upate. The Goals are the esire outcomes. The Objectives are specific, measurable, achievable mileposts use to quantify if the esirable outcomes are being achieve. To guie the evelopment of the transportation plan s goals an objectives, the Focus Group along, with the TPO s Technical an itizens visory ommittees, evelope the following vision an mission statements: Vision Statement: To provie a multi-moal transportation system that improves quality of life in the TPO Service rea. Mission Statement: To create a transportation system that offers options for all users an is efficient, safe, sustainable, an attractive. Eight goals were evelope in association with the overall mission. These goals were use to guie the evelopment of the Transportation lueprint 2035 LRTP Upate. Goal : Support the economic vitality of the TPO region & efficiency of the transportation system. Goal : Encourage a multi-moal network of user-frienly transportation systems for the movement of goos an people. Goal : Promote efficiency an effectiveness within the transportation system an the planning process. Goal D: Promote a sustainable, integrate transportation infrastructure system that is environmentally-frienly.

4 Goal E: Preserve the existing transportation system an highlight community focal points. Goal F: Enhance quality of life factors that will attract inustry an skille workers an assist isable an elerly populations. Goal G: Enhance the safety an security of the transportation system. Goal H: Enhance the security of the transportation system. Public Involvement TPO staff reache out to the public through regional an community meetings an online forums to ientify our mobility nees for the future. The LRTP upate was aie by a Focus Group that met three times throughout the plan upate to review the Goals & Objectives, the raft Nees Plan an the ost Feasible Plan. itionally, a series of public workshops were hel throughout the stuy area to solicit input from the general public on the evelopment of both the Nees an ost Feasible plans. ll of this information was poste on the TPO s web site as well as on a Facebook page for the Plan Nees Plan s previously iscusse, the Nees Plan is not constraine by funing availability. The first step in the evelopment of the Transportation lueprint 2035 Nees Plan was an analysis of anticipate mobility eman. This was accomplishe by working with local governments in etermining where people woul be living an working in The next step involve estimating the eman on the transportation network in 2035 using a travel eman moel. This analysis provie ata on which roaways are failing or woul have emans beyon their capacity. Using the information on the failing roaways, alternatives for aressing the eficiencies were evelope an reviewe by the public, the Focus Group, & the TPO avisory committees. The resulting 2035 multi-moal Nees Plan was aopte by the TPO on June 9, 20. Over roaway, ITS an transit projects costing nearly $7.1 billion, an over 260 bicycle an peestrian projects costing over $220 million, were ientifie in the Nees Plan. Financial Resources Estimates of Feeral an State funs available for transportation projects through the year 2035 were provie by the Floria Department of Transportation. These funs are erive from State an Feeral gas tax revenues an total approximately $342 million (20 ollars). This inclues over $0 million in Strategic Intermoal System (SIS) funs that, by Floria policy, may only be spent on that roaway system ost Feasible Plan The evelopment of the ost Feasible Plan for the Floria-labama TPO require an evaluation of overall transportation system nees within the context of available funs for mobility projects.

5 The 2035 ost Feasible Plan must inclue revenue in five-year increments as well as project costs to reflect future year costs. Project costs are then bugete against forecaste revenues for each perio while matching the mobility emans of the perios. Therefore, the ost Feasible Plan typically matches the highest priority nees with the anticipate revenue. The 2035 ost Feasible Plan establishes the priorities for neee mobility projects an unerscores the value the community places on investments in various moes of travel. How an area chooses to spen its limite financial resources presents the clearest picture of its priorities for long-range mobility improvements. The 2035 ost Feasible Plan was aopte by the TPO on November, 20. In aition to the roaway projects, the ost Feasible Plan inclues orrior Management projects, ITS projects, high-capacity transit projects, an funing for projects ientifie in the icycle & Peestrian Master Plan an the regional Freight Master Plan. The 2035 ost Feasible Plan has funing for 36 roaway, transit, bicycle an peestrian projects costing just over $552 million in Year of Expeniture ollars. ase on the revenue projections for state an feeral funs along with programme local funs, projects phases not fune in the 2035 ost Feasible Plan (FP) will be fune after itional or alternate revenue sources coul allow for projects to be move into the FP. OST FESILE OXED FUNDS orrior Management Stuies $130,000 annually Projects to Implement orrior Management Plan Improvements $1,500,000 annually Projects to Implement icycle & Peestrian Master Plan Projects $350,000 annually Projects to Implement ITS Master Plan Projects $1,230,000 annually Public Transportation apital Improvements $300, 000 annually Transit Operations an Maintenance Funing for Existing Transit Services $3,481,816 annually icycle & Peestrian Master Plan s a parallel effort to the upate to the 2035 LRTP, the Floria-labama TPO complete an upate of the icycle an Peestrian Master Plan. This plan was aopte by the TPO in December 20. The TPO an its partners recognize the numerous benefits of bicycling, walking, an of proviing relate transportation facilities. mong these benefits are: Improve public health an the corresponing reuctions in health care costs; Reuce energy consumption an epenence on foreign energy sources;

6 icycle an Peestrian Master Plan (continue) Reuce greenhouse gas emissions an associate air quality improvements, perceive improvements in quality of life; Increase isposable income an relate regional economic stimulus; an Greater transportation options for all resients. The icycle & Peestrian Master Plan ientifies over 200 priority projects for the region. These inclue construction of siewalks an bike lanes, an restriping of shoulers. The 2035 ost Feasible Plan inclues funing for the icycle & Peestrian Master Plan at $350,000 annually. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) ITS is a program that uses moern computers an communications to make travel smarter, faster, safer an more convenient. Here are just a few of the ways ITS helps the traveling public: Intelligent traffic control systems help us by reucing the time we spen stoppe at re lights or waiting on freeways when an accient occurs. utomatic toll collection moves vehicles more quickly through toll booths, thereby reucing congestion an pollution. Traveler information systems help us by giving us current, multi-moal information on travel conitions allowing us to make smarter choices about how, when an where to travel. In-vehicle systems help by giving us in-vehicle maps, guiing us to our estination an improving our safety by automatically notifying emergency services when an where an accient occurs. vance transit systems help transit agencies operate more efficiently an provie travelers with real time information that makes using transit easier an more attractive. Intelligent commercial vehicle systems help commercial vehicle operators process the paperwork associate with moving goos. In October 20, the TPO aopte the Regional ITS Master Plan. The 2035 ost Feasible Plan inclues funing for ITS projects at $24 million over the life of the Plan.
