1 MOBILITY PLANNING STRATEGIES AND CONCEPTS Center for Urban Transportation Research/USF OVERVIEW Background Mobility Planning Concept Case Examples Strategies and Resources 2 BACKGROUND: THE CONCURRENCY ISSUE Concurrency is a growth management concept intended to ensure that the necessary public facilities are available concurrent with the impacts of development. 3 1

2 PROBLEMS WITH CONCURRENCY Complex Inequitable Lack uniformity Too focused on roadways May work against growth management objectives 4 MULTI-MODAL EMPHASIS Realization that we can t build ourselves out of congestion 5 CONCURRENCY CHRONOLOGY YEAR ACTION 1985 FL Growth Management Act Concurrency becomes law 1992 FDOT adopts Statewide Minimum LOS Standards for SHS 1993 Introduction of TCEAs, TCMAs, and LTCM 1999 Introduction of MMTDs 2005 Proportionate fair share mitigation 2006 FDOT LOS Standards limited to SIS and FIHS 6 2

4 TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY V. MOBILITY FEE Transportation concurrency Charged only when capacity has been exceeded Mobility fee Charged to all new development for the transportation service it will consume Planning approach A fee alone won t achieve the intent of transportation concurrency Build on existing planning framework Mobility fee is a tool for implementation 10 MOBILITY PLANNING CONCEPT 11 BASICS OF THE MOBILITY FEE PLANNING APPROACH Countywide application Interlocal agreements Mobility plan Mobility fee is closely tied to land use and transportation plans. Mobility fee 12 4

5 COUNTYWIDE APPLICATION WHY COUNTYWIDE? Travel is regional from an economic perspective Transportation system is seamless Addresses cross-jurisdictional impacts Mobility -The ability of people to make trips to satisfy their needs or desires by walking, driving, riding a bicycle, riding public transit, or any combination of modes of transportation. Reduces incentive for leap-frog development Equity for public sector local governments share responsibility 13 EXAMPLE OF PMT/VMT Gainesville Alachua Newberry Gainesville Alachua Newberry VMT 6,528 7,471 9,232 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT 120 SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED UNITS 14 TAMPA BAY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY 15 5

6 REGIONAL VISIONING INITIATIVES 16 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS County-wide or multi-county agreement Includes all local governments and transportation providers in each county Procedures for Establishing project priorities Fee calculation and distribution Cross-jurisdictional coordination 17 MOBILITY PLAN Land use and urban design strategies Transportation network, services and strategies Improvement programs and fees MOBILITY PLAN incorporated into local government comprehensive plan 18 6

11 STRATEGIES AND RESOURCES 31 USER GUIDE AND CHECKLIST FOR MOBILITY PLAN REVIEW For use by FDOT and Local Governments 32 PURPOSE OF MOBILITY REVIEW GUIDE Framework for the development and review of local government mobility plans Provide guidance on what may constitute acceptable land use and transportation strategies to support and fund mobility 33 11

12 OBJECTIVES OF THE PRACTICE Advance transportation and land use (mobility) planning best practices Address all modes AND the built environment Acknowledge the value of corridor management strategies to improved mobility on the state transportation system Acknowledge the difficulty of measuring the benefit of certain land use and transportation best practices known to improve mobility NOT a prescriptive approach, but one that supports critical analysis 34 Detailed instructions for use of checklist Description of Categories, Elements, and Criteria Notes describe how each Criterion may be addressed in the plan MOBILITY REVIEW GUIDE 35 Spreadsheet template Categories, Elements, Criteria Notes in the Guide describe how each Criterion may be addressed in the plan CHECKLIST 36 12

13 ELEMENTS IN EACH CATEGORY Supporting Plans and Guidelines Multimodal Environment Network Improvement Operations and Safety Implementation State Organization and location Major roadway Demand management Coordination Local Mix Local street t Access management Incentives Regional Density/intensity Bicycle/pedestrian Transit Monitoring Multimodal policy Transit Ped/bike Funding 37 CRITERIA FOR EACH ELEMENT CATEGORY: MULTIMODAL ENVIRONMENT Organization & Location Mix Density/Intensity Multimodal Policy Cores/activity centers Complementary mix in centers Minimum density in centers Bike/ped priority in centers Parking mgt Transit compatible/tod Vertical mix Density near transit stops Streetscape/station area amenities Location of industry/freight uses Proximity of goods/services to residential areas Urban design that supports density Multimodal TIA 38 Photos courtesy of City of Gainesville 13

14 CRITERIA NOTES Table 2: Multimodal Environment (ME1) Organization and Location Criteria ME1.1 ME1.2 ME1.3 CRITERIA Designates and reinforces strong central core(s) and urban activity centers of varying sizes and compositions. Transit compatible land uses are defined and required to locate on existing or planned transit corridors with direct access to transit. This should include but is not limited to transit oriented developments (TOD). Ensures that industrial and other freight related uses locate in proximity to and have direct access to major transportation routes and intermodal stations or other freight transfer locations. NOTES Helps reduce VMT. Plans should focus employment and commercial activities into a strong central city/village core. Larger cities and counties may also have regional activity centers outside of this core. Locate smaller employment centers and commercial/service nodes of varying sizes in proximity to residential neighborhoods. A detailed description of transit compatible land uses is contained in Model Regulations and Plan Amendments for Multimodal Transportation Districts. See also the FDOT Transit Oriented Development Guidelines (draft to date, see web for updated version) for detailed guidelines on varying types of TOD depending on context (e.g. urban core, urban general, suburban, rural). The report Mixed Income Housing Near Transit offers strategies for increasing the affordable housing supply as part of transit oriented developments to offset the tendency to cater only to high income markets in these locations. Proper location and direct access to major transportation routes and/or ports and airports help reduce impacts on the surface street system and improve efficiency of freight movement. 40 WILL THIS BE EASY?
