7 V. Action Items A. Review and Approval of Resolution Amending the FY 2017/ /22 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Chairperson Denys stated the proposed TIP amendment includes the annual roll forward request from FDOT. TPO staff provided a summary listing of the request in the agenda that shows 17 existing projects to be rolled forward into the current TIP and 12 projects that are being requested to be added to the TIP. The amendment also includes the addition of two new projects; intersection improvements on SR 15A Taylor Road at US 17/92 and ramp improvements on the I-4 ramps at Saxon Boulevard. It also includes changes to two existing TIP projects by combining two adaptive traffic signal projects on US 17/92 and increasing funding needed for a bridge replacement on Barracuda Boulevard. Vice Mayor Matusick referred to the intersection improvement project on SR 15A and US 17/92 and commented she is assuming that it relates to the WaWa that is coming in there. She asked why the WaWa is not looking to make the intersection improvements and why the TPO has to pay for the additional traffic that this business will be bringing in. Ms. Bollenback replied this project is for turn lane improvements that have been on the books for quite some time. The TPO looked at improvements in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) on US 17/92, especially where traffic flows in and out of the southern end of DeLand, and this is one of the projects identified by FDOT; to make those improvements along with some of the traffic adaptive signal control projects. At one point there had been an idea to widen that section of road further but no one was interested in turning the road into eight-lanes. She does not think this is associated with the installation of the WaWa but rather it is an improvement based on planning that has occurred over the last five years. Vice Mayor Matusick commented she will assume that when the way people will get in and out of the WaWa is approved, it will be incorporated into this project. Ms. Bollenback replied there probably is coordination going on but she will have to get updated information. Vice Mayor Matusick commented the concern is the left turn in and the left turn out of the WaWa that the gas station wants with the constraints of that intersection. She wanted to make sure there is coordination and that WaWa would be paying for the impact they will have as well. Ms. Bollenback replied she will get some follow up information. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Patterson to approve Resolution amending the FY 2017/ /22 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Commissioner McGuirk seconded the motion which carried unanimously. B. Review and Approval of Support for the 2017 Regional List of Priority Projects for the Central Florida MPO Alliance (CFMPOA) Chairperson Denys stated each year members of the Central Florida MPO Alliance (CFMPOA) work together to develop a Regional List of Priority Projects (LOPP). The Regional LOPP is based on the respective TPO/MPO Priority Lists. Approval by the TPO Board today authorizes the River to Sea TPO representatives that serve on the CFMPOA to support a resolution adopting the updated Regional LOPP at the October 13, 2017 alliance meeting. She commented that Vice Mayor Matusick and Vice Mayor Handy-Peters serve on the CFMPOA. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Bastain to approve support for the 2017 Regional List of Priority Projects for the Central Florida MPO Alliance (CFMPOA). Commissioner Gilliland seconded the motion which carried unanimously. 7

8 C. Review and Approval of Resolution Adopting the Resilient Volusia County Report Chairperson Denys stated MPOs are required to begin assessing and planning for issues related to increased severe weather and flooding associated with climate change and sea level rise. Last year, the River to Sea TPO partnered with several agencies to conduct a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment of transportation infrastructure in the TPO s planning area. The Resilient Volusia County Report is the second phase of this assessment. Mr. Harris gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Volusia County Resiliency Report and stated the funding partners include the TPO, FDOT, Volusia County, the University of Florida s Geoplan Center, and the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC) as the project manager for this. He reviewed the stages of failure of the storm water infrastructure and showed the stages as the sea level rises. He reviewed the three rate curves developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and stated the model years are 2040, 2070 and He explained the methodology, the areas of assessment, particularly the evacuation routes and critical facilities. He reviewed the initial findings including the flooding risks and the most susceptible evacuation routes which are US 1, SR A1A and SR 5A. He stated this study did not do an in-depth analysis on storm water infrastructure because much of it is underground. He reviewed the coastal flood model impact analysis and the focus areas of implementation. The TPO will coordinate with stakeholders for the next steps. Volusia County has the emergency preparedness plan and the TPO s plan will focus on transportation which will be integrated into the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Vice Mayor Burton asked if the presentation was in the agenda. Mr. Harris replied no; the link to the report was provided in the agenda. Volusia County Council Chair Kelley commented by the year 2100, we would not be using cars to evacuate. It bothers him that these type reports are based on assumptions which are not proven. He gave some examples. These reports are based on current assumptions that may not happen unless we follow along and adapt and change with the models. You cannot put a model into effect that is based upon assumptions that are not proven. There is an article regarding this in the Daytona News-Journal today by Mark Lane. Council Member Lowry commented he has read articles about the icecaps being the lowest in a long time yet NASA has posted that the sea levels have dropped over the last two years. It does not hurt to plan and prepare but sometimes things can get blown out of proportion. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Patterson to approve Resolution adopting the Resilient Volusia County Report. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Matusick and carried unanimously. D. Review and Approval of Resolution Adopting the R2CTPO 2017 Crash Analysis Report Chairperson Denys stated the board was updated last month on this report. Ms. Bollenback reminded the board that this is a time when we have access to a great deal of data; this is good because it helps the TPO to make better decisions and a challenge because there is so much of it. This report was pursued internally among TPO staff based on a congestion management process (CMP) report produced last year. It gave indications of increasing crash rates that the TPO wanted to look into, so the TPO pursued a more detailed analysis. There is some good news; although fatality rates at the state and national level are trending up, both Volusia and Flagler counties have trended down. She reviewed the overall crash rates and injuries and fatalities. She stated the TPO would have to look at the crash reports to see how much is due to distracted driving and road conditions. She explained some countermeasures could be partnering with law enforcement or effecting changes to engineering and design. The TPO would like to explore these areas to see where we could have the greatest impact on reducing crashes, injuries and fatalities through potential engineering solutions. She discussed behavioral issues such as seatbelt use, distracted driving and drinking while driving; those issues require different approaches to try and change 8

9 behavior. A lot of the crashes occur on state roads and the TPO needs to be in partnership with FDOT on addressing those issues. There may be opportunities to partner with other the MPOs throughout the region on behavioral issues because we share a media market. If the TPO was to pursue these options, it may involve additional analysis at the TPO level or it may just involve sharing information with other entities. Vice Mayor Burton asked if there was any data that supports the use of red light cameras; that show rear end crashes happen more frequently when a red light camera has been put in place. Ms. Bollenback replied there have been national studies. There have not been any studies locally to see if crash rates change based on the introduction or removal of red light cameras. Vice Mayor Nobile commented the Palm Coast studies showed red light cameras dramatically changed behavior at right turn lanes; it did not show any other changes in traffic accidents or fatalities. People are stopping at the right hand turns and the number of tickets given has dramatically dropped. He asked how the evolution of these studies would affect the ranking of projects in our area when they are correlated to areas with significant crashes. Also, if the TPO sees a project that is in one of these areas, where engineering does not fix the problem, will the TPO work with the cities to make adjustments to the project to include those? Ms. Bollenback replied each year the TPO reviews how it ranks projects and this is one of the items that will be incorporated, in if the TPO is not already doing it. The TPO already has a clear ranking set of criteria that includes crash prevention as one of the weights. She has presented on the requirement for TPOs to measure injuries and fatalities and set targets for improvements. The requirement will be that the TPO use and tie it to the ranking and to projects that are moved and funded through the TIP. Commissioner Gilliland referred to Vice Mayor Burton s question and stated the city of Daytona Beach s experience with red light cameras was there was no increase in rear end collisions but there was a decrease in T-bone collisions. He stated that as soon as the red light cameras were turned off, a Mainland High School student was hit and killed at International Speedway Boulevard (ISB) and Nova Road. The fatalities at intersections go down dramatically with the red light cameras and it is unfortunate that the judiciary decided that whoever puts the citation in the envelope must be the police officer or it is not legal. Daytona Beach s experience was very similar to Palm Coast s. Vice Mayor Matusick commented that the date range at the beginning of the report is based from 2009 to 2013; the rest of the report is based up to She asked how that worked when the report says it is current from Ms. Bollenback replied the TPO tries to use a five-year rolling average; the most recent information from the full calendar year of 2016 has not been quality control checked. The time frames of the reports depend on the resource from which the TPO draws the information. Vice Mayor Matusick commented this information is only as good as the officers putting the information into the system when they do their reports. If we continue to use this type of information someone needs to take the lead and look at developing a better crash report, better education in law enforcement classes or general training for the officers on how to do this and what to ask. She referred to distracted driving and stated if it is not asked and is not in the report, it is not in here. We can assume there is more distracted driving than being reported. She thinks that to have the best data it needs to go a bit further; whether it is the TPO coordinating with Daytona State College to do a better preparation on what to ask and what we are trying to capture; not just the local level, but the state level also. Ms. Bollenback replied eventually the TPO will have to communicate with law enforcement like it did with the SR A1A study to focus on the true problematic areas. Crash reports only tell about the mistakes and issues over the last five or ten years. The TPO would have to meet with law enforcement to find out where tickets are being written and where the issues they see are located. The TPO can come up with an answer 9

10 but cannot make the solution work without partnerships; that may mean legislative change or partnerships with law enforcement. MOTION: A motion was made by Commissioner Gilliland to approve Resolution adopting the R2CTPO 2017 Crash Analysis Report. Commissioner Via seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. E. Review and Approval of Request from Orange City to Increase Funding for the Design Phase of the West French Avenue Shared Use Path Chairperson Denys stated the West French Avenue Shared Use Path has $426,015 in funding for design in the current fiscal year; Orange City is requesting an additional $76,985 in additional SU funding for the design phase. Current year funds are available to support this request. Ms. Bollenback stated when the feasibility study was originally done on this project, connecting Valentine Park to Blue Springs State Park, there was consideration of building the trail on the north or south side of the road. Both sides were looked at, and at that time the preference was to put the trail on the north side of the road. As the city got closer to the design phase of this project it was acknowledged that there were more advantages to moving the trail to the south side of the road. There will be a mid-block crossing but the change will make other crossings easier and there will be less right-of-way required so the overall project cost is expected to decrease. She stated Ms. Becky Mendez from Orange City is here to provide any additional information. This is the change required to engineer the project and move it to the south side of the road which will ultimately build a better project. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Patterson to approve the request from Orange City to increase funding for the design phase of the West French Avenue Shared Use Path. Commissioner Gilliland seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. VI. Presentations and Discussion Items A. Presentation and Discussion of the Annual Call for Projects and Project Priority Ranking Process of the River to Sea TPO Chairperson Denys stated a presentation was given last month to review the process for ranking and funding transportation projects. The current agenda includes the three resolutions for review that guide this process. Ms. Bollenback stated last month she reviewed how a project gets developed from conception to construction and the steps it has to go through at the TPO. There are three resolutions that guide what the TPO does. Resolution is where the local match requirement is set; the local match was at one time higher, however, it is currently set at 10%. There has been an expression that it should be raised. At both the CAC and TCC meetings there was a lot of resistance expressed to that idea. Generally speaking, they felt the timing is not right; although we are in a recovery phase, the funding scenarios have not changed enough. There was also concern that smaller local governments would be burdened by additional local matches. There are a lot of state road projects that the TPO puts on the priority list which do not pay a local match; these federal dollars are not being matched with state dollars. The question is should FDOT be held to a similar requirement that the local governments are held to and be required to provide a local match. These federal dollars are the only funds the TPO can use off-system. When state roads compete with the offsystem use of the money, it limits the amount of money that those who have needs off-system can access. This is something to understand clearly; the impact of putting state road projects on the priority list for setaside funding. Chairperson Denys asked if there had been a suggestion that the state put a match in for federal funds. 10

11 Ms. Bollenback replied it is not a suggestion but a question of whether we are clear that there are state road projects that are competing for funding against projects local governments are submitting. Chairperson Denys stated that would be a quick way to have the TPO grants bypassed. She asked if the TPO was in a position to make this request. Ms. Bollenback replied the SU funding is completely under the control of the TPO; FDOT does not have an option to bypass it. The question is whether this TPO wants to use that funding to support off-system projects or to promote state road projects. The argument is that a priority is a priority regardless of where it is. If there are state funds available to pay for priorities, does the TPO want to use these federal funds to promote and advance those projects or reserve them for off-system projects? Ms. Bollenback stated the other topic covered under this resolution is cost overruns. The TPO has had issues with cost overruns and continues to face those. The resolution covers the topic well but if there are any issues they will be looked at by the subcommittees. The language can be adjusted if needed to make sure the TPO is responsive and flexible while adhering to its policies. Vice Mayor Nabicht referred to the cost overruns and stated we have to find a better way of doing business; with the amount of skin an agency has in the game with a low match, there is not a lot of incentive to push a project and get plans up to 60% or 90% complete. An applicant thinks they can just come back to the TPO for money; eventually, the TPO will not have the money to fund projects in a particular category and may have to go way down another list to find a project that is ready. He is not in favor of doling out money anymore; he is in favor of the older method previously used where the applicant is responsible for cost overruns; there should be some sort of a compromise. Hardship plays into it but defining what that hardship is might be part of the solution. Volusia County Council Chair Kelley stated he has expressed his opinion for years that the 10% match was too low; maybe this is the time to say if there are cost overruns or project costs change, that the applicant be responsible. There is no incentive to control the cost. He does not believe 10% is the number; he understands that those applying for projects think it is fine but everyone would receive a lot more if we drilled down on necessary projects instead of putting in a new 12-foot sidewalk when there are roads that are failing. Maybe the funding needs to be looked at as well; put the money where the needs are not where the wants are. Something needs to be done; the answer is something the TPO needs to determine and get back to the board regarding cost overruns. The cost overruns have been large and will only increase as we move forward. Chairperson Denys commented this was discussed at the Executive Committee; the proportion of funding roads versus bicycle/pedestrian projects. Commissioner Gilliland added to Vice Mayor Nabicht s comment that it is an issue when projects sit on the list for years and there is little-to-no thought to revise cost estimates. The cities need to get with their staff each year to revise cost estimates. If a project sits on the list for five years with no cost revision, we know that cost is wrong. The TPO cannot responsibly budget the funds it does have available if there is a project that has sat for five years and possibly may be twice the original amount. Perhaps the TPO needs to penalize to the applicants that do not revise their cost annually. It does not allow the TPO to know what funds are available for future planning. He referred to Volusia County Council Chair Kelley s comment regarding the local match and he stated he does have reservations about the effect it would have on smaller cities but he agrees that 10% is a small amount. When there is that little skin in the game, we will not get the same level of attention from the applicant that we might if it was 15%, 20% or 25%. There has to be some sort of balancing act so that it will not be impossible for a small city such as Lake Helen to submit a project because the match is equal to their tax rolls. There needs to be some out of the box thinking for a formula that protects the small cities while making the large cities pay their fair share and have that greater attention to the projects being put forward. 11

12 Council Member Patterson agreed with Commissioner Gilliland and commented that these projects should be looked at each year or two to get an idea of the funding and what the project costs are because we know the costs are going up. After the most recent recession, a lot of contractors are making up for lost years. He represents several small cities within his County Council district and they would be hurt by a match increase; it would put it out of reach for them to get projects. He advised that the board must be careful when discussing matches. Commissioner Lindlau suggested the TPO make it a requirement that a city must submit a revised cost analysis every two years and if it cannot or does not maybe the project should be taken off the list and resubmitted at another time. He appreciates everyone for thinking of the smaller cities like his. The smaller cities should be able to have the same opportunities as the larger cities. Chairperson Denys asked if this is the time to change the local match. She agreed with the small cities in that in no way should a burden be put on the small cities. She suggested possibly increasing the local match next year. Vice Mayor Nobile also commented on this matter saying that the local municipalities should budget for cost increases and the TPO should adhere to policy. The overrun acts to put more local funds on projects. Discussion continued regarding the local match requirements and cost overruns. Ms. Bollenback stated the board will come back to this resolution for recommendations. The other two resolutions in the agenda packet have not been a subject of debate; Resolution establishes the project categories and the ranking process. From a review level, the TPO will be looking at vetting the supporting documentation that is provided. This can avoid cost overruns and other issues that occur; this may result in more projects being sent back. Resolution covers the set aside amounts; an imbalance occurred when the St. Johns River to Sea Loop trail project was selected. The TPO sets aside 30% for Trails and Bicycle/Pedestrian projects, 40% for Traffic Operations/Safety projects and 30% for transit. Because the TPO was funded through the SUN Trail program at the state level for both Coast to Coast projects as well as St. Johns River to Sea Loop projects, it has received an additional $8 million a year that will continue to flow towards those trail projects. On the bicycle/pedestrian side, if we include that along with transportation alternative funding, and the TPO is searching very low on the bicycle/pedestrian list for additional projects while still being at the top of the traffic operations list. It was discussed at the Executive Committee level about using bicycle/pedestrian funds next year to advance traffic operations projects and rebalance the list. If there are no objections to doing this, the TPO will work with FDOT to program those funds. Chairperson Denys stated it was disproportionate percentagewise; it looks balanced at 30%, 30% and 40% but when the $8 million is added to the one 30% it becomes clearly disproportionate. While we are blessed with state funding on the trails, the TPO wants to add funding to the Traffic Operations side. It is a very good strategy so that everything stays funded and to leverage the best of the dollars the TPO has. Ms. Bollenback replied it would be a one-time shift of funding; it is working through the priority process and ranking projects rather than proposing a long term change. B. Presentation and Discussion of the Draft Flagler County Transit Operations Plan Ms. Bollenback introduced Mr. Joel Rey from Tindale-Oliver who has been working on this with a team from Flagler County as well as cities located within Flagler County. The board has received an overview of this previously but more detailed route planning has occurred. Mr. Rey gave a PowerPoint presentation of the draft Flagler County Transit Operation Plan and stated this presentation is for informational purposes to inform the board where they are in the plan. He reviewed the work that has been done thus far in operationalizing fixed route service for Flagler County including the development of the Transit Development Plan (TDP), which is a ten-year vision. The county currently has a 12

13 Dial-a-Ride service and wanted to see what it could do to replace or enhance that service. He reviewed the map showing the proposed three fixed routes, the route characteristics and the proposed transfer locations. He reviewed the year one ridership projections and explained they had looked at peer systems around the state and developed a range from low to high. He stated the fare policy was still being discussed with the county and staff but has a proposed range from $1.00 to $1.50; currently the Dial-a-Ride is $2.00 per trip. He reviewed some other guidance, schedules, bus stops, staff and maintenance guidance; everything to start up the service and function in addition to the Dial-a-Ride service. They are finalizing the second tech plan which includes the financial plan and will bring that back in November and present it to the Flagler County Board of Commissioners on October 16, Vice Mayor Burton asked if senior citizen fare rates are included in the proposal. Mr. Rey replied yes; depending on which fare schedule is accommodated, it would be half the cost of the regular fare rate. There are also accommodations for day passes; multiple days or a single day. Vice Mayor Nobile commented Flagler County appreciates this and the service is greatly needed. They are in discussions to combine this with housing. C. Presentation and Discussion of the Draft R2CTPO 2017 Congestion Management Process (CMP) and Performance Measures Report Ms. Bollenback showed the draft 2017 Congestion Management Process and Performance Measures Report from the TPO website and stated it is an annual requirement to measure and report on certain elements of our transportation system. As she has talked about in previous meetings, the TPO will also have a requirement to start reporting other performance measures on the system. This particular document is an update of the process already in place; this has gone through a working committee and the TPO produced a report last year. The TPO did not go through a comprehensive update of the process because of the performance measures that will be integrated into the system over the course of the next year. There will be guidance coming out soon on that activity; safety measures and targets will be adopted by this TPO at the January meeting. The TPO anticipates some significant changes to this report between this year and next year. The TPO is seeking input from all the committees and working groups and will make changes as needed before it is brought back for approval. She reviewed the scorecard and explained it was series of system measures; she gave examples. Once the TPO adopts targets, those will work their way onto the list and the TPO will have to program projects and tie funding allocations to meeting these targets. She urged the board to take an opportunity to look through the report and familiarize themselves with the information in it and how the TPO conducts measures, looks at our system and the performance of our system. The TPO reports on congestion annually and program major improvements during the LRTP. Commissioner Lindlau referred to the first chart in the SunRail category and commented there was an increase in ridership but it is marked unfavorable ; it increased from 29,000 to 44,000. Ms. Bollenback replied based on 2014 and 2015 that should be favorable. Transit is cyclical, more people ride when the weather is nice not when it is rainy or cold. The TPO does review ridership over the year and SunRail ridership did increase initially but then began to level out. If more details were included, it may be more neutral. Chairperson Denys stated this report can be found on the website and encouraged everyone to review it. D. FDOT Report Mr. Ferguson stated his report is in the agenda with most of the major projects with estimated completion dates. 13

14 VII. Executive Director s Report Ms. Bollenback stated the TPO advanced the priority of the trail on US 17 in front of the school that is being built in Pierson in order to get it funded and built along with the opening of the school. Mayor Sowell has been a champion of this project. Unfortunately, as the project was delayed enough to look as if it may not open when the school did, so the TPO communicated with FDOT. The contract was already in place and there was limited ability to speed up the project so FDOT put an incentive for the contractor to complete the project early to keep with the opening of the school. The TPO recognized FDOT for that and she commented that as a priority of the school board, Pierson and this TPO, that project did get advanced and shows the benefit of everyone coming together to discuss their shared interest. Update on SunRail Ms. Bollenback stated there is a TIGER grant opportunity that has been announced and there was a question about whether SunRail would submit an application for the DeBary to DeLand extension; the currently unfunded piece of the original project. In the past, that application has been submitted by FDOT with support of the funding partners and Volusia County has indicated they would like to see FDOT do that again. Update on FY 2017/18 SU Funding Ms. Bollenback stated the TPO is working with FDOT to ensure current year dollars are allocated and that they are programming and advancing projects. Update on Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials Transportation Committee Activity Ms. Bollenback stated the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials meeting was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma. There is a manager s meeting this afternoon and she should have more information later today. Also due to Hurricane Irma, the TPO cancelled the BPAC and TDLCB meetings. Ms. Bollenback announced that through the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) the TPO was nominated and awarded the State Planning Agency award for the year. She recognized Mr. Vince Wang, TPO staff and Council Member Billie Wheeler, TDLCB Chairperson, for their work. Update on SR 44/Mission RD/Wallace RD/Canal St Alternative Intersection Design Study Ms. Bollenback announced the public meeting on the SR 44/Mission Rd/Wallace Rd/Canal St Alternative Intersection Design Study has been rescheduled for October 3, 2017 at 5:00 pm in New Smyrna Beach City Commission Chambers. VIII. River to Sea TPO Board Member Comments SU Funding Information Chairperson Denys referred the board members to page 104 in the agenda packet and stated she had asked TPO staff to explain SU funding, how it worked and to create a flow chart. Also included is the 2017 List of Prioritized Projects; she asked staff to update the comments section with anything that is unique to that project. She asked the board members to take the list back to their jurisdictions and get a copy to all of their elected officials. Everyone needs to be on the same page, especially going forward with the mayors and managers looking at a possible gas tax. This is a good primer for where we are on projects and how it works. The FAST Act is the federal transportation act that the TPO has to follow. She stated she and Vice Mayor Handy-Peters had attended the MPOAC Institute a couple of years ago and it was fascinating to learn how intricate this is. She referred to the bottom of the chart, the 30%, 40% and 30% allocation and stated the Executive Committee recently discussed this in regards to the $8 million the Bicycle/Pedestrian projects received and the imbalance of funds. She asked Mr. Harris to explain the chart. 14

15 Mr. Harris explained the SU funding information sheet and flow chart detail. The chart showed where SU funds come from and how they get to the TPO. Chairperson Denys referred to page 7 of the priority list, project #7 as an example; Tivoli Drive in Deltona. She asked why the local match was listed at 33%. Mr. Harris replied although 10% is the required minimum, the project applications are designed so that if a local government provides more than the minimum local match, they could receive additional points for the ranking of the project. In this case, Deltona would have received more points for the ranking of this project because they offered a 33% local match. Chairperson Denys commented anything that scores below 70% or the black line is not available for funding. This is a really good report; it is more detailed summary of where we are and why. Vice Mayor Matusick suggested at every meeting there could be a piece of information discussed that is more complicated as a refresher. Chairperson Denys replied that is exactly what she will be doing this year; review each of these sections so that when the board has to make a tough decision on funding, it will have better information to make those decisions. Council Member Allebach commented he likes the presentations about future activities; today, it was related to sea level rise. He referred to the previous threat of no manatees being left and commented the reason why they are not all gone is because of behavior change. Because of the projections and studies, the TPO can make the behavioral changes or adjustments needed. Even if things are 25% different, it is better than what we are doing now. He thanked Chairperson Denys for the education on SU funding and added it is a great addition to the meeting. Commissioner Lindlau stated he appreciated looking ahead to climate change and agreed with Council Member Allebach; we have hurricanes every year and just had the most powerful one in history, with another Category 5 right behind it. He is glad the TPO is looking into what can be done to address the issues. Vice Mayor Matusick stated this coming year she will be the Chairperson of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC). Chairperson Denys and Council Member Wheeler are also on the ECFRPC. The ECFRPC meets every other month and she would like to submit a report from those meetings for the TPO agenda. One of the things the ECFRPC has discussed was how they could help the cities; they are assisting Oak Hill in their economic analysis and assisting Lake Helen with a town center. Chairperson Denys replied that was a great idea. Commissioner McGuirk referred to the SR 44/Mission Rd/Wallace Rd/Canal St Alternative Intersection Design Study public workshop and thanked TPO staff for an outstanding job with their studies and listening to what the citizens concerns were. It was one of the most productive staff and citizen meetings he has attended. Vice Mayor Handy-Peters congratulated Vice Mayor Matusick on the Chairperson position for the ECFRPC and thanked her for her service. She congratulated the TPO on receiving the planning agency of the year award from the CTD. Vice Mayor Nabicht stated he looks forward to Chairperson Denys leadership. Vice Mayor Burton referred to the storm and everyone recovering from it and stated he had mentioned Lake Helen had a $350,000 FEMA payment that is waiting to occur. He just received message from his state administrator that Mr. Bob Collins is the only person in the state that is processing FEMA claims, which is causing the delays. He stated Lake Helen decided to use local contractors to clear their roads and the city is 15

16 burning their own debris and has more than 60% of the city clear, with the exception of the county roads. The city offered the county to remove their debris at cost but the county declined. Volusia County Council Chair Kelley replied he did pass that information on. The city of Ormond Beach has over $6 million to be reimbursed from FEMA and Volusia County has over $26 million due from Hurricane Matthew. Everyone has been affected and this ties in to his comments on smaller cities and proportionately what they can contribute. He enjoyed the discussion today and added that we need to be realistic about project costs. IX.

39 MEETING SUMMARY TPO BOARD OCTOBER 25, 2017 VI. PRESENTATIONS, STATUS REPORTS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS A. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT) DISTRICT 5 WORK PROGRAM PUBLIC HEARING Background Information: Each year, FDOT develops the Five Year Work Program in accordance with Section , Florida Statutes. The Five Year Work Program is an ongoing process that is used to forecast the funds available and allocate those to transportation system improvements over a five year period. The development of this Work Program involves coordination with local governments, including Metropolitan Planning Organizations and other city and county officials. In urbanized areas, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) have the responsibility to develop transportation plans and prioritize transportation needs. In non-metropolitan areas, county commissions establish priorities. FDOT implements the transportation improvements identified by the TPOs and local governments. During the process, new projects are added and existing projects may be advanced or deferred based on the updated financial forecast. As a new fifth year is added to the cycle, the current year drops out of the plan and a new Five Year Work Program is introduced. Public hearings are held in each of the seven transportation districts, including a week-long online public hearing, and a statewide public hearing is held by the Florida Transportation Commission. The Florida Transportation Commission then performs an in-depth review of the Work Program and presents the results to the Executive Office of the Governor. The PowerPoint presentation of the FDOT District 5 Work Program Public Hearing is available on the TPO s website at: ACTION REQUESTED: NO ACTION REQUIRED UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE TPO BOARD 39

52 RIVER TO SEA TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION RESOLUTION ## RESOLUTION OF THE RIVER TO SEA TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION REAFFIRMING THE POLICY FOR ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING TRANSPORTATION PRIORITY PROJECTS WHEREAS, Florida Statutes ; 23 U.S.C. 134; and 49 U.S.C require that every urbanized area with a population of 50,000 or more, as a condition to the receipt of federal capital or operating assistance, shall have a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning process that results in plans and programs consistent with the comprehensively planned development of the urbanized area; and WHEREAS, the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is the duly designated and constituted body responsible for carrying out the urban transportation planning and programming process for the designated Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) comprised of Volusia County and the urbanized areas of Flagler County including the cities of Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach, and portions of Palm Coast and Bunnell; and WHEREAS, 23 C.F.R provides that the River to Sea TPO shall annually endorse, and amend as appropriate, the plans and programs required, among which is the Surface Transportation Program (STP) projects list of the annual Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) submission; and WHEREAS, each year the appropriate River to Sea TPO committees made up of a crosssection of interested citizens and technical staff are charged with the responsibility of drafting a list of prioritized projects; and WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of the River to Sea TPO to establish project priorities for all areas of the TPO's MPA; and WHEREAS, the River to Sea TPO reaffirms its commitment to the priority process and related policies; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the River to Sea TPO that the following policies are established to prioritize transportation projects throughout the TPO's MPA: 1. The project application and evaluation criteria approved by the River to Sea TPO Board shall be used to solicit and evaluate projects for priority ranking in the transportation program categories listed below: a. Florida Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Projects; b. Regionally Significant, Non-SIS Roadway Projects and Major Bridge Projects; 52

53 c. Traffic Operations, Safety, and Local Initiatives Projects; d. Bicycle/Pedestrian, Transportation Alternatives, Regional Trails, and Local Initiatives Projects; e. Public Transit Projects; and f. Transportation Planning Studies. 2. River to Sea TPO projects that were previously ranked and have a Financial Management (FM) number and are in the Florida Department of Transportation Work Program will automatically be prioritized above projects that are not currently in the FDOT Five-Year Work Program; 3. Projects which are ranked one through five on the Prioritized List of Florida Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Projects are deemed to be protected, and will remain in their current spot or move to the next available higher spot until they are completed and drop out of the Work Program; 4. Projects which are ranked one through five on the Prioritized List of Regionally Significant, Non-SIS Roadway Projects and Major Bridge Projects are deemed to be protected, and will remain in their current spot or move to the next available higher spot until they are completed and drop out of the Work Program; 5. Projects which are ranked one through eight on Tier B of the Prioritized List of Traffic Operations, Safety, and Local Initiatives Projects are deemed to be protected, and will be ranked in their current spot or move to the next available higher spot until they are completed and drop out of the Work Program; 6. Projects which are ranked one through three on Tier B of the Prioritized List of Bicycle/Pedestrian, Transportation Alternatives, Regional Trails, and Local Initiatives Projects are deemed to be protected, and will be ranked in their current spot or move to the next available higher spot until they are completed and drop out of the Work Program; 7. If, at any time, two or more lists of prioritized projects are merged into a new list, every project that was protected prior to the merger shall retain its protected status, and no new or previously unprotected project shall be deemed to be protected unless and until it advances to the protected rank prescribed for the new, merged list. 8. The River to Sea TPO will only re-prioritize or add projects when the TPO Board determines: a) unusual circumstances support such action, b) the circumstances are not of a recurring nature, c) the circumstances do not result from the actions of the project sponsor, and d) the proposed reprioritization or addition will not be contrary to the public interest; 9. Requests to change the priority or to add a project must include a statement of hardship by the requestor along with supporting documentation that includes 53

54 detailed justification of need and an assessment of the impacts to the programming of prioritized projects; 10. It is the responsibility of the River to Sea TPO and FDOT staffs to provide the River to Sea TPO members with current information and data on project status and to assist the members in their efforts to make informed decisions regarding the prioritized projects lists; 11. The River to Sea TPO shall, in its discretion, make all decisions regarding the final prioritized project lists that are annually submitted to FDOT; 12. Once a project has attained protected status, it should be programmed within 3 years. If it has not been programmed during that time due to inactivity on the part of the project sponsor, then the project will be removed from the list of priority projects. The project sponsor may resubmit the project for open ranking on any subsequent call for projects. 13. The project sponsor shall annually submit a letter to the River to Sea TPO affirming their desire to retain each project on the priority list and provide updated cost estimates The policies set forth in this resolution shall remain in effect unless and until they are repealed by the TPO; and the Chairperson of the River to Sea TPO, (or their designee) is hereby authorized and directed to provide a copy of this resolution to the: a. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT); b. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (through the Florida Department of Transportation); and c.

60 20178 Application for Project Prioritization Transportation Planning Studies January General Instructions: The R2CTPO coordinates transportation planning activities with FDOT staff to establish needs throughout the R2CTPO's Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) and to determine the most effective agency and approach for completing the work. Studies are funded in part by the TPO using federal planning funds allocated to MPOs. In addition, studies are pursued throughout FDOT District V using planning funds available to the department. SU funds are also available to be used for planning activities when the cost of the planning studies exceeds the PL funding available. Recognizing that the R2CTPO member local governments are well positioned to identify transportation issues as they arise, the R2CTPO wants to encourage their participation in the development of a list of priority planning studies to address these issues. The R2CTPO will annually, as part of the Call for Projects, reach out to member local governments to identify and define transportation planning studies for inclusion on a prioritized list, and to assist in identifying the agency that should take the lead in funding and managing the study. In some cases, the result may be a funding partnership between organizations. Support may also be identified through other fund sources as (safety, operations, grants etc.). Planning studies ranked in the top five for funding by FDOT will require an FDOT 4P project application to be completed. Projects requiring a full PD&E should be included in the TPO's Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and should be listed on other project priority lists established by the TPO. Process: 1. The annual "Call for Projects" will include an invitation to submit requests for planning studies. 2. To be considered for prioritization, planning study requests will include the following: a. Project Title and Description (including area or termini) b. Cost Estimate c. Purpose & Need (including data & other facts) d. Previous/related Studies e. A page may be added to include a map, picture or other graphical illustration of the project. 3. No local match will be required. 4. The TIP Subcommittee will rank the requested planning studies in order of priority with consideration of applicable ranking criteria. The TIP Subcommittee's recommended ranking will then be presented to the CAC, TCC, and BPAC for review and comment before being presented the TPO Board for approval. Ranking Criteria: Federal Planning Factors 1. Support the economic vitality of the United States, the States, metropolitan areas, and non-metropolitan areas, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency; 2. Increase the safety and security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 3. Increase accessibility and mobility of people and freight; 60

61 4. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns; 5. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight; 6. Promote efficient system management and operation; and 7. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. Other Criteria 1. The study is necessary to identify a solution (the solution is not evident without a study); 2. The study would be best undertaken now (should not be delayed); and 3. The study will provide needed guidance for decision-makers regarding future projects. Representative Types of Studies: 1. Corridor Management Plans; 2. Corridor Improvement Studies; 3. Route Development Plans; 4. Environmental Assessments and Impact Studies; Electronic and Hard Copy Submittal Requirement: 5. Alternative Route Studies; 6. Major Investment Studies; 7. Spot or Location Studies; 8. Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Action Plans; and 9. Multi-Modal Connectivity Plan 1. Applications and supporting documentation shall be submitted as digital media in Portable Document Format (PDF), compatible with MS Windows and Adobe Acrobat Version 9.5 or earlier. 2. Electronic documents may be submitted through our FTP site, as an attachment to , on a CD, DVD or USB flash drive. 3. The application and all supporting documentation shall be included in one electronic PDF file. 4. All document pages shall be oriented so that the top of the page is always at the top of the computer monitor. 5. Page size shall be either 8-1/2 by 11 (letter) or 11 by 17 (tabloid). 6. PDF documents produced by scanning paper documents are inherently inferior to those produced directly from an electronic source. Documents which are only available in paper format should be scanned at a resolution which ensures the pages are legible on both a computer screen and a printed page. We recommend scanning at 300 dpi to balance legibility and file size. 7. If you are unable to produce an electronic document as prescribed here, please call us to discuss other options. 8. In addition to the digital submittal, we require one (1) complete paper copy of the application and all supporting documents. This must be identical to the digital submittal. R2CTPO staff will provide assistance in completing an application to any member local government that requests it. 61

It is very important that your Purpose and Need statement is clear and complete. It will be the principal consideration in ranking your study proposal. It must convince the public and decision-makers that the expenditure of funds is necessary and worthwhile and that the priority the study is being given relative to other needed transportation planning studies is warranted. The Purpose and Need will also help to define the study scope, the consideration of alternatives (if appropriate), and ultimate study findings and recommendations. Commentary: 62

Yes No If not, what local government agency will perform the work on behalf of the Applying Agency? [Attach a letter of intent from the agency that will perform the work.] Governmental entity with maintenance responsibility for roadway facility on which proposed project is located: [If not the same as Applying Agency, attach a letter of support for the proposed project from the responsible entity. This letter of support must include a statement describing the responsible entity s expectations for maintenance of the proposed improvements, i.e., what the Applying Agency s responsibility will be.] Priority of this proposed project relative to other applications submitted by the Applying Agency: Project Description: Project Location (include project length and termini, if appropriate, and attach location map): Project Eligibility for Federal Funds (check the appropriate box): the proposed improvement is located on the Federal-aid system. (Reference the Federal Aid Road Report at the proposed improvement is not located on the Federal-aid system, but qualifies as a type of improvement identified in 23 U.S.C. 133 that is not restricted to the Federal-aid system. Project Purpose and Need Statement: In the space provided below, describe the Purpose and Need for this proposed project. It is very important that your Purpose and Need statement is clear and complete. It will be the principal consideration in ranking your application for a Feasibility Study. It must convince the public and decision-makers that the expenditure of funds is necessary and worthwhile and that the priority the project is being given relative to other needed transportation projects is warranted. The project Purpose and Need will also help to define the scope for the Feasibility Study, the consideration of alternatives (if appropriate), and ultimate project design. 63

64 The Purpose is analogous to the problem. It should focus on particular issues regarding the transportation system (e.g., mobility and/or safety). Other important issues to be addressed by the project such as livability and the environment should be identified as ancillary benefits. The Purpose should be stated in one or two sentences as the positive outcome that is expected. For example, the purpose is to reduce intersection delays or to reduce rear end collisions. It should avoid stating a solution as a purpose such as: the purpose of the project is to add an exclusive left turn lane. It should be stated broadly enough so that no valid solutions will be dismissed prematurely. The Need should establish the evidence that the problem exists, or will exist if anticipated conditions are realized. It should support the assertion made in the Purpose statement. For example, if the Purpose statement is based on safety improvements, the Need statement should support the assertion that there is or will be a safety problem to be corrected. When applying for a Feasibility Study, you should support your Need statement with the best available evidence. However, you will not be expected to undertake new studies. Commentary: Criteria #1 through #4, below, will be used to evaluate and rank each application for Feasibility Study. For Criteria #1, the Applying Agency must indicate the functional classification of the roadway on which the proposed improvement will be located. For Criteria # 2 through #4, the Applying Agency must provide commentary explaining how and to what degree the proposed improvement will address the criteria. Criteria #1 - Location Indicate the functional classification of the roadway on which the proposed improvement is located. (Reference the Federal Aid Road Report at Principal Arterial Minor Arterial Urban/Rural Major Collector Urban Minor Collector Rural Minor Collector or Local Road Not Applicable Criteria #2 - Mobility and Operational Benefits The proposed project will significantly reduce traffic congestion and/or delays identified in the TPO s Congestion Management Process/Performance Measures Report or otherwise identified and documented. Commentary: Criteria #3 - Safety Benefits The project will significantly reduce the number and/or severity of crashes; it will significantly reduce the number of fatalities and/or serious injuries. Commentary: Criteria #4 - Support of Comprehensive Planning Goals and Economic Vitality The proposed project will directly contribute to the achievement of one or more goals/objectives in the applying local agency s adopted comprehensive plan; it directly supports economic vitality (e.g., supports community development in major development areas, supports business functionality, and/or supports creation or retention of employment opportunities).

This criterion looks at the degree of safety benefits that will be derived from a proposed project. The distinction between the categories of benefits will be coordinated with the Community Traffic Safety Teams (CTST). The number of points allocated will reflect the degree of benefit that is expected. In the space provided below for commentary, describe the safety benefits expected from the proposed project, and explain how the proposed project will help to achieve those benefits. R2CTPO staff will work with the appropriate agencies to determine the intersection and corridor crash rates. Safety Benefits 8 Points The specific project location is on FDOT s High Crash List or has otherwise been identified as having an overrepresentation of severe crashes? (Provide supporting documentation (e.g., intersection crashes per million entering vehicles 9, corridor crashes per million vehicle miles 89, Community Traffic Safety 0 5 Team report, etc.) The problem described on page 1 of this application is a safety issue that falls within one or more of the eight Emphasis Areas identified in the 2012 Florida Strategic Highway Safety Plan (i.e., distracted driving, vulnerable road 0 5 users, intersection crashes, lane departure crashes, aging road users and teen drivers, impaired driving, and traffic records) or does contribute to the ability of emergency response vehicles to effectively respond to an incident. The proposed project represents a strategy that is professionally recognized as 0 10 being effective in reducing the frequency and/or severity of traffic accidents. Subtotal If an application scores very high in this criterion, the R2CTPO may submit application to either the East or West Volusia Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST) for Safety Fund consideration. 9 Applying Agency must use the following crash rate calculation formulas: Corridor Crash Rate = (Number of Crashes x 1,000,000) / (AADT x 365 days/year x Number Years x Segment Length); Intersection Crash Rate = (Number of Crashes x 1,000,000) / (AADT x 365 x Number of Years). Commentary: Criteria #5 Support of Comprehensive Planning Goals and Economic Vitality (10 points max.) This criterion looks at the degree to which the proposed project will actually contribute to the achievement of one or more of the local government s adopted comprehensive plan goals or objectives, and the degree to which it supports economic vitality. The Applying Agency must identify specific goals and/or objectives from the relevant comprehensive plan and provide a rational explanation of how the proposed project will advance those goals and or objectives. Points will not be awarded for being merely consistent with the comprehensive plan. Points should be awarded in proportion to how well the project will show direct, significant and continuing positive influence. Temporary effects related to project construction, such as the employment of construction workers, will not be considered. Draft 10/10/ of 5 Select all that apply

93 MEETING SUMMARY TPO BOARD OCTOBER 25, 2017 VI. PRESENTATIONS, STATUS REPORTS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS G. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE RIVER TO SEA TPO S DRAFT 2018 LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS Background Information: Each year, the TPO develops a set of legislative positions to be used in informing legislators of issues important to the River to Sea TPO. The positions are initially drafted through a subcommittee of the TPO Board. The Legislative Issues Subcommittee met on October 10 to develop the draft 2018 Legislative Positions which are presented for your review. ACTION REQUESTED: NO ACTION REQUIRED UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE TPO BOARD 93

94 2018 Legislative Positions DRAFT Dated October 10, 2017 River to Sea TPO Chairperson: Deb Denys, Vice-Chair of the Volusia County Council Contact: Lois Bollenback, Executive Director Telephone: (386) Website: 94

95 #1 -- Transportation Priority -- Funding The River to Sea TPO supports legislation that preserves transportation funding and provides greater flexibility of funding to support the safety, efficiency and preservation of the transportation system. Background Transportation revenue is collected to support the preservation and development of a safe and efficient transportation system that supports economic development, freight mobility, tourism, bicycle and pedestrian safety, accessibility and public transit among others. Actions that protect these programs include: Consider Funding Options that Stabilize Local and State Transportation Funding* The Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC) completed a Transportation Revenue Study in The study found that transportation revenues were not keeping pace with increased costs over time. Subsequent analysis of fuel taxes by the Florida Transportation Commission also found the current structure to be unsustainable. The River to Sea TPO supports efforts to index city/county fuel taxes and to further evaluate options that would provide a more sustainable revenue source for transportation. Increasing and Stabilizing Funding Levels for the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP)* TRIP funding promotes regional transportation planning and project development and has been used to fund important infrastructure improvements. The program is funded primarily through Documentary Stamp proceeds and the allocations have varied significantly in recent years from a low of $117 million in to approximately $157 million in The R2CTPO supports stable and consistent funding through TRIP. Protecting the State Transportation Trust Fund and the Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund In prior years, revenues generated by transportation-related surcharges have been directed outside the Transportation Trust Fund for other purposes. Overall, such diversions degrade the state s infrastructure and impacts overall competitiveness for federal discretionary funding. Likewise, revenue impacts to the Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund diminish transportation services provided to the most vulnerable citizens. The R2CTPO supports the use of transportation funding for transportation purposes. Identify Resources for the Maintenance and Preservation the States SUN Trail System During the 2015 legislative session, the Florida Shared-Use Non-motorized Trail (SUN Trail) network was established. The River to Sea TPO supports this program and is currently developing projects that will help to complete the Coast to Coast Trail as well as the St. Johns River to Sea Loop Trail. We recognize, however, that preservation of transportation infrastructure is a key requirement of program and the River to Sea TPO supports efforts to plan for and direct funding to ensure these statewide assets are maintained over time. Benefit Efficient transportation systems are necessary to support a strong economy. Inadequate funding to support capital projects as well as operations and maintenance will lead to increased congestion and degradation of vital infrastructure. Increased traffic congestion has negative economic and environmental impacts. *These funding priorities are also identified as statewide priorities by the MPOAC 95

96 #2 -- Transportation Priority -- Safety The River to Sea TPO supports legislation that improves pedestrian safety. Background Florida consistently ranks at or near the top of the nation in pedestrian injuries and fatalities. Increasing safety and reducing these rates will require education, engineering and law enforcement efforts. The River to Sea TPO supports enhanced funding for educational programs that show positive results, strengthening of existing pedestrian safety laws and performance driven funding for projects that address unsafe conditions. Pedestrian Safety Laws Florida s Pedestrian & Bicycle initiative, Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow Safety Doesn t Happen by Accident, ranked Volusia County in the top 10 among Florida s Bicycle/Pedestrian High Crash Areas. In addition, the 2016 Dangerous by Design report listed the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach Metropolitan Area as the fifth most dangerous area in the nation. Florida DOT is using the Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow this program along with changes in design standards to drive down pedestrian fatalities and injuries throughout the state. Though not in the top 10, Flagler County has also recorded bicycle and pedestrian crashes, which may be addressed through proactive efforts involving evaluation, education, engineering and enforcement. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that 48% of pedestrians were killed when crossing the road, but not at an intersection. Just over 13% of pedestrians were killed when crossing the road at an intersection. Currently, Florida Statute (7) pertaining to pedestrians and traffic regulations states: (b) The driver of a vehicle at any crosswalk where signage so indicates shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross a roadway when the pedestrian is in the crosswalk or steps into the crosswalk and is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. (c) When traffic control signals are not in place or in operation and there is no signage indicating otherwise, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. The River to Sea TPO supports strengthening Chapter (7) F.S. as follows: (b) The driver of a vehicle at any crosswalk where signage so indicates shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross a roadway when the pedestrian is in the crosswalk or steps into the crosswalk and is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. (c) Omit entirely Benefit Pedestrian safety is critical for residents, for transit riders, for children and families that choose to walk to school and for the thousands of visitors who choose to vacation here. Investments in pedestrian safety improve quality of life and support economic development. Legislative actions that improve pedestrian safety support initiatives in the State of Florida as well as the national emphasis on safety improvements outlined in the Fixing America s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. 96

97 Additional Positions The River to Sea TPO also supports legislation that: Regulates the use of hand-held electronic devices while driving as a primary offense and increases fines for using hand-held electronic devices while driving within school zones. Offers incentives for employers that reduce peak-hour demand by allowing off-peak commuting and telecommuting options to employees. Increases MPO/TPO involvement in growth management, mobility planning and visioning activities to promote a stronger linkage between land-use, transportation and economic development. Allows Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) funds to be used on roads and other transportation facilities not designated on the SIS if the improvement will relieve congestion on the SIS. Allows state funds to be used for improvements to county, or other local service, collector and distributor roads that provide alternative access to controlled access state facilities. Increases the percentage of the state transportation capacity program allocated to non-sis highways and transit programs in order to improve mobility on regional and metropolitan area transportation facilities. Requires TPO concurrence for public-private partnership agreements related to the lease or sale of transportation facilities that are publicly owned and operated within metropolitan areas and any subsequent modifications to such agreements. Promotes interoperable and multi-modal smartcard technology that is compatible, universal and accessible for use by all other smartcard technology systems. Maintains gross vehicle weight limitation and restrictions by not raising the maximum weight limit above 80,000 pounds (exceptions should only be granted when authorized by state and local governments and adequate compensation is paid to mitigate the impact to state and local transportation facilities). Provides mandatory funding for driver education programs in high schools. Changes the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) to allow agencies to introduce a best-value option that considers cost as a factor when selecting a firm. The River to Sea TPO will monitor legislation that: Authorizes counties to form a regional transportation finance authority for the purpose of financing, constructing, maintaining and operating transportation projects that are consistent with MPO plans. Proposes to establish Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts associated with expressway or passenger rail corridors for the purposes of financing the debt issued to pay for the project. Promotes the continued development and expansion of bus and rail transit as well as efforts to accommodate the growing demand for alternative mobility vehicles (low-speed vehicles, electric vehicles and golf carts). Establishes reasonable limits on the amount of business damages awardable in an eminent domain action. Encourages continued intergovernmental coordination and support of shoreline stabilization efforts for SR A1A in Flagler County. Considers changes to the transportation analysis required for Developments of Regional Impacts (DRI). 97

115 532 W. Florence Avenue Deland, Florida St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop Summit and Trail Celebration October 26-28, 2017 DeLand, Florida Announcing the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop Summit (SJR2C) and Trail Celebration to be held in DeLand on October 26-28, The Summit is sponsored by the St Johns River-to-Sea Loop Alliance in cooperation with FDOT Mobility Week and Greenways and Trails Month. The Summit will be a major milestone in the evolution of the St Johns River-to-Sea Loop and is presented by the nonprofit 501(c)3 St Johns River-to-Sea Loop Alliance in cooperation with the Office of Greenways and Trails, the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, the Florida Department of Transportation, the River to Sea TPO, the Space Coast TPO, and others. The theme is synergy among trails, active mobility, safety, community spirit, multi-modal connections, bike-tourism, economic development, and health and fitness. The purpose of the Summit is to raise awareness of and support for the Loop and the Alliance and to celebrate trails. Presentations will focus on the evolution and status as well as the safety and health benefits of the SJR2C Loop, the potential economic impact of the Loop exemplified by the economic turn-around of cities such as Winter Garden, and the importance of municipalities, counties, destination marketing organizations, nonprofits and other interests working together to support and promote trails. The Summit will include three days of events, each with a different focus and purpose: Thursday, October 26 Stakeholder Meeting and evening reception/happy Hour Friday, October 27 Community outreach program celebrating the Loop and trails Saturday, October 28 Fun events including a Halloween-themed kids bike ride and safety check Get Involved Our goal is to engage all counties and communities, to advance the Loop and increase awareness and advocacy. If you want to be involved in the Summit, this is the right place to be and the right time to get involved. The SJR2C Loop Alliance is seeking partners, volunteers, program ideas and sponsors. For information please register on the SJR 2C.org website or contact Info@sjr2c.org.

117 October 13, 2017 LBL Mr. Steve Martin Florida Department of Transportation 719 South Woodland Blvd. DeLand, FL Re: 2017 Tentative Work Program Public Hearing Comments Secretary Martin, I would like to thank you and your entire team for the effort put in each year to balance the transportation needs in District 5 with the financial resources available as you develop the Tentative Work Program. The River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (R2CTPO) staff works closely with our local partners to develop project priorities for the R2CTPO planning area and to communicate these priorities to the FDOT staff. Based on the information provided this year, I want to express my appreciation for your continued support in programming the R2CTPO set-aside projects in the categories of Traffic Operations & Safety and Bicycle & Pedestrian facilities. Advancing these projects has been challenging in recent years and I appreciate the continued efforts of FDOT staff to support the local project sponsors and the R2CTPO. I also want to thank the department in its continued support and advancement of SunTrail projects as shown by the programming of the design and construction of a trail along US 1 from Kennedy Parkway to Dale Avenue in Southeast Volusia County as well as the design of a trail segment on US 17 from SR 40 north to the Putnam County Line. Unfortunately, I must also express a level of concern over the deferrals that have occurred during this work program cycle. While I understand that a reduction in the state revenue estimates places pressure on the ability to complete projects as previously scheduled, the changes in this year s estimate are unusual. The Tentative Work Program proposal includes deferral of several projects outside the five-year horizon including roughly $15.75 million for the right-of-way for widening Clyde Morris Boulevard (FM# ) and an almost $5 million reduction in right-of-way acquisition for the widening of US 92 (FM# ). 117
