Title: 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan Update
12035 Long Range Transportation Plan Update
LRTP Workshop June 17, 2009
2 Purpose
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
3 Background
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
4 SAFETEA-LU Planning Factors
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

5Project Process
- 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
Public Input and Comment
6 Goals and Objectives
- Identify Goals and Objectives (GOs)
- Sets the framework to guide the LRTP reflects
desires of - community
- Use 2030 GOs as base for developing new and/or
refined - GOs
- Develop combined goals, which will be filtered
through the TAC - and CAC
- From there, develop county-wide GOs
- Also consider new federal legislation
(CLEAN-TEA) in framing - GOs
7 Goals and Objectives
GOAL 1 - Multi-Modal A 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 Security A transportation system that is safe
and secure. GOAL 3 - Emergency Responsiveness A
transportation system that enhances emergency
responsiveness and evacuation. GOAL 4 -
Sensitive to Socio-Cultural Elements A
transportation system that is sensitive to the
effects to the socio-cultural elements of the
communities, the community character and
environmental resources.
8 Goals and Objectives
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.
9 Public Involvement Program
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)

County is in the process of finalizing.

13 Collect and Analyze Data
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

22 Transportation Vision
Assess Needs/Identify Transportation
Vision Assess needs based on travel demand,
financial feasibility, efficient movement (of
people and freight), satisfying GOs 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
23 Develop Projects
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
24Highway Project Consideration
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 Deliverin
g goods/freight movement Cost-Effective
25Transit Project Consideration
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-Effecti
ve
26Bike/Pedestrian Project Consideration
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
27Evaluate Projects
-
- Determine whether the projects meet GOs
- 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
28Recommendations
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
29Implementation
- 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 conditions
- change and/or if new legislation comes into
- effect
