What is Concurrency?
• Local Governments usually define what constitutes an adequate level of service (LOS)
• New development exceeding the Level of Service must schedule improvements in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE)

What is Transportation Concurrency?
“…transportation facilities needed to serve new development
shall be in place or under actual construction within 3 years after the local government approves a building permit
Chapter 163.3180(1)(c) Florida Statutes

What is a Concurrency Management System
Used For?• Planning tool to estimate needs and update the Capital Improvement Elements (CIE)
• Simple system is a spreadsheet with road volumes and existing conditions

Are any Areas Exempt From Concurrency?
Transportation Concurrency
Exception Areas (TCEA)– Limited to specifically defined urban areas
– However, Local Governments MUST consider the impacts on the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS)

Other Concurrency Tools
• Long Term Transportation Concurrency Management System (CMS)– Uses a longer planning horizon
– Depends on Capital Improvements
• Multimodal Transportation Districts (MMTD)– Primary priority is supporting pedestrian, and transit service
– Must have supporting community design and policies.

General Requirements for Local Government
• Local government shall maintain the adopted LOS standards for roads and transit, if applicable
• Must be part of the Comprehensive Plan
• The Capital Improvement Element (CIE) can assure LOS standards
• System of tracking and monitoring
• Supporting Land Development Regulations

What Should FDOT Look For?

• Tracking and Monitoring System

Tracking Systems
• Basic spreadsheet tracking systems– Recommend column headers for spreadsheet
• Intranet tracking systems– Internal review and sign off
– Automatic updates
• Collecting and updating critical traffic data– Recommendations for service volumes, traffic
counts, and inclusion of capacity from planned improvements
– Supplement with developer counts

Yes For Facilities on the SIS and Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP)
• Local Governments shall adopt the LOS standards of the FDOT on SIS facilities– Local Governments can choose their own LOS
standards on other highways – (including State Highway System not on the SIS)
Are Their Differences In How We Treat SIS Facilities?

What if a Development Generates very Few Trips?
• This is “de minimis” – having very minimal impact
• Only if the impact is no more than 1% of the Maximum Service Volume at the adopted LOS
• No impact will be de minimis if the results exceed 110% of the Maximum Service Volume– Or on a hurricane evacuation route

• Report format
• Not applicable in TCEAs
• Report links at 90% of LOS volumes

Proportionate Fair-Share• Prop Fair-Share –
does not apply to DRIs, but only applies for sub-DRIs
• The number of “project trips” may differ
• Prop Share for Developments of Regional Impact (DRI)
See Page 10
Local Governments are required to have this in ordinance

Proportionate Fair Share
• How does it differ from Proportionate Share for Developments of Regional Impact (DRI)
• The number of “project trips” may differ
• Proportionate Fair Share Model Ordinance is at:
