7 All possible alternative solutions been fully explored All at-grade and alternative elevated solutions have been thoroughly evaluated. 18 Initial Alternatives were studied via the TBARTA/FDOT Multi- Modal Transit and Managed Lanes Feasibility Evaluation. The Alternatives eliminated due to not being practical: 1. All Light Rail Transit (LRT) Alternatives 2. All At-Grade Managed Lane Alternatives 3. All At-Grade Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Alternatives 6 Alternatives moved forward for additional evaluation with the Express Bus/Managed Lanes 4 Lanes Elevated alternative selected as the Recommended Alternative.

8 18 Initial Alternatives Evaluated (TBARTA/FDOT Multi-Modal Transit and Managed Lanes Feasibility Evaluation) BRT on Dedicated Guideway without Managed Lanes BRT on Dedicated Guideway with Managed Lanes Express Bus in General Use Lanes with Queue Jumps LRT on Dedicated Guideway With Managed Lanes Express Bus in Managed Lanes (At Grade) LRT on Dedicated Guideway Without Managed Lanes Express Bus in Managed Lanes (Elevated) BRT Light in General Use Lanes with Queue Jumps

9 12 Alternatives Eliminated All Light Rail Transit (LRT) Alternatives Insufficient ridership ( 8 Stations = 1,400 per day) All At Grade Managed Lanes Alternatives Cross access is severely restricted Negative Impacts on Businesses Much lower traffic volumes All At Grade Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Alternatives Cross access is severely restricted Negative Impacts on Businesses Insufficient Ridership (1,190 to 4,000 per day)

15 All possible solutions have been fully explored Resulting in Alt. 6 4 Lanes Elevated with BRT within Managed Lanes as the preferred alternative

16 Conceptual Elevated Solution... Elevated Managed Lanes in Median Access points to local businesses Intersection with existing collector roadway serving residents and businesses Existing SR 54/56 with median

17 An Elevated Managed Lane Solution will support Local Business growth and allow maximum access for Residents Through the separation of regional (elevated) traffic from local (at grade) traffic, placemaking opportunities are enhanced by encouraging local serving retail and office uses, to locate within adjacent planned developments. At grade SR 54/56 will be available for more local traffic use, better serving residents and businesses located within developments along the corridor.

43 Top 4 Priorities for Transportation Investment: Local Roads Citizen Survey Results Summary (2011 & 2012) Highways Pedestrian Facilities (Sidewalks and Trails) Transit (Buses)

44 Current Study EXPANDED Corridor Evaluation (East 56) Begin Project End Project

45 SR 54/SR 56 Transit/Managed Lane Toll Feasibility Study Study Objectives: Perform planning-level build toll demand traffic estimates, assess optimal toll rates, revenue estimates, O&M costs, etc. Determine the ROW needs associated with the elevated and/or at-grade managed lane concept along the SR 54/56 corridor (US 19 to US 301)

46 Key Study Activities Determine proposed alignment of managed lanes Establish lane configuration Develop typical sections Set entrance and exit points between managed lanes/premium transit and general-use lanes Establish type/location of transit stations; including pedestrian access

47 Establish type/location of park-and-ride lots; Identify stormwater management/other drainage issues; Determination of preliminary/final costs PE/Construction Develop staging plan for implementation

48 Project Schedule (Needs Updating) Travel Demand Modeling Toll Revenue Cost Estimates/Staging Plan Drainage/ROW Preservation Public Outreach underway 2 Months 2 Months 2 Months Throughout Study Total Schedule: 6 Months

49 Summary 1. Years of studies concerning the 54/56 corridor 2. At grade solutions found to be not practical 3. Exclusive guideway for Light Rail produces low ridership and is not feasible 4. FDOT believes the future for increased highway capacity lies with Toll (managed lane) facilities. 5. Tolled Elevated Managed Lanes- Only practical solution which provides Capacity for both vehicles and transit 6. Only practical solution to fully accommodate Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) within the corridor

50 Summary 7. The recommended solution has been the result of a coordinated Regional effort 8. The SR 54/56 Elevated Managed Lane facility is required to complete the Tampa Bay Northern Loop 9. Provides the least Financial Impact on Pasco residents & frees up revenue for other county transportation needs 10. Future development based on current Entitlements along SR 54/56 depends upon an Elevated Managed Lane facility 11. Recommended solution best protects existing and future businesses along the corridor. 12. Planning stage on-going built in 3 to 4 segments
