I. Call to Order / Roll Call / Determination of Quorum The meeting of the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Board was called to order at 9:00 a.m. by TPO Chairperson Rob Gilliland. The roll was called and it was determined that a quorum was present. Ms. Stewart announced that Commissioner Schuitema, Beverly Beach, would be the voting member for the Small City Alliance.

II. Pledge of Allegiance

III. Public Comment/Participation Mr. Big John, press, reminded members of the comments he brought before them last month regarding new bus service to the Tanger Outlet Mall and Tomoka Town Center; the LPGA Sub-Area Study; volunteers for the road tax, and the Russian driveway at East International Speedway Boulevard (ISB) which has been held back for a year. He met with FDOT D-5 Secretary Shannon and was told he was taking care of the Russian driveway so he is taking that off of his agenda. He asked for direction on where to go to start the process for new bus service. Chairperson Gilliland replied the Volusia County Council. Mr. John asked for direction regarding volunteers for the road tax. Chairperson Gilliland suggested the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials. Mr. John asked if the TPO was interested in the road tax as it is a transportation issue. Chairperson Gilliland replied the TPO is not in charge of the proposed half-cent sales tax for road construction; the Roundtable of Elected Officials is the group coordinating that. Mr. John referred to the LPGA Sub-Area Study and asked if he should wait on his comments until it comes before this board. Chairperson Gilliland replied he was welcome to speak on it; they have had several presentations around the county, including to the Daytona Beach City Commission; early information has been received by the TPO. He asked Ms. Bollenback if a presentation will be given to the TPO Board. Ms. Bollenback replied a presentation was given to the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) when input from a technical perspective was needed. She believes they are updating the modeling and forecasting information; they may do another presentation but there has not yet been a request to do so. Mr. John commented that the LPGA Sub-Area Study is devastating and asked members to keep an eye out for it.

seconded by Commissioner Nabicht which carried unanimously.

V. Action Items A. Review and Approval of the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Public Involvement Plan (PIP)

Ms. Bollenback introduced Mr. Jim Wood, Kimley-Horn and Associates, to give the presentation. Mr. Wood stated the PIP is specific to the LRTP that is being developed over the next year and is consistent with the TPO’s Public Participation Plan (PPP) which was adopted in June. The PIP is intended to define the overall process to ensure there is a meaningful effort for input into the LRTP. It is a balanced approach with both targeted and broad input. It includes measures of effectiveness with targets; there has been additional language added for freight coordination and the TPO’s Annual Planning Retreat. There will be a specific website for the LRTP that will launch within the next week and a specific survey will be conducted which will be an extension of the 2018 “Tell the TPO” survey. There will be focus groups, workshops, environmental justice workshops, a needs assessment and cost feasible plan. There will also be continuous social media and stakeholder outreach. Council Member Denys referred to diverse representation and the list of 2045 LRTP Subcommittee members; her definition of diverse is regional and this TPO encompasses two counties and sixteen cities. She would like to see the geographic locations of the subcommittee members to ensure the entire planning area has representation and committee members need to be added if an area is not represented. Ms. Bollenback replied subcommittees are created by volunteers; however, everyone is welcome to attend the meetings and provide input. The geographic information will be added and staff will encourage members to participate. There must be a subcommittee for the purpose of meeting notices and a quorum but ultimately, anyone can participate. Chairperson Gilliland recommended moving forward and approving this item with the understanding it can be amended to add members to the subcommittee if the geographic information provided is found to be weighted toward one side of the county. Council Member Denys stated this subcommittee will be made up of the guiding individuals going forward with this document and the process. It is critical that a broad, geographic diversity is represented. Chairperson Gilliland asked how quickly the geographic information could be distributed to board members. Ms. Bollenback replied staff could put that together now and she can report back by end of the meeting. MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Denys to approve the 2045 Long Range

Transportation Plan (LRTP) Public Involvement Plan (PIP). The motion was seconded by Volusia County Council Chair Kelley and carried unanimously.

Chairperson Gilliland stated this item may be reopened at the end of the meeting if it is found the geographic diversity of the 2045 LRTP Subcommittee is not what the board wants it to be.

VI. Presentations and Discussion Items A. Presentation and Discussion of Draft R2CTPO 2020 Legislative Positions

Ms. Bollenback stated the Legislative Issues Subcommittee met this morning and announced the legislative session begins on January 14, 2020; committee meetings began last week. There are two delegation meetings scheduled for November; Volusia County on November 20, 2019 and Flagler County on November 21, 2019. She reviewed the R2CTPO’s legislative positions from last year and the MPOAC’s 2020 legislative positions. The subcommittee agreed to remove the position on MPO structure from last year’s positions as a priority but it will be added to the items the TPO continues to have a position on. Funding is the first priority and there are four items under it; the first is to be clear that we support indexing the local fuel tax; it is consistent with the position approved last year but will be more directly stated. The second item is to maintain stabilization and consistency in the TRIP program. The third item is moving from the back page of Additional Positions to a funding priority which is allowing flexibility of flex funding that is currently for the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) or the State Transportation Trust Fund (STTF) be used on local roads that relieve those systems including access roads to and from the SIS. This is for situations when the answer is not to widen state roads but to create alternate travel choices. This has been a position taken by the R2CTPO and around the state. The fourth funding priority is to identify resources to maintain the SUN Trail system. Chairperson Gilliland reminded members the subcommittee met at 8:15 am this morning so this information was not available in advance for review. Ms. Bollenback stated the subcommittee was originally scheduled to meet on September 4, 2019 but due to Hurricane Dorian had to be rescheduled. Council Member Denys asked if there was a handout this morning for the subcommittee. TPO staff displayed the R2CTPO 2019 Legislative Positions for use in the review of the subcommittee’s recommendations. Ms. Bollenback replied the MPOAC’s updated positions and the R2CTPO’s positions from last year were included with the subcommittee agenda packet. This was the subcommittee’s initial meeting so there was no draft available. Chairperson Gilliland asked if this item will be back next month for adoption. Ms. Bollenback replied yes. These four items under funding are generally consistent with last year but are more direct in what the TPO is supporting. Council Member Stiltner asked for the dates of the delegation meetings, the locations and what those meetings involve. Ms. Bollenback replied the delegation for Volusia County is scheduled for November 20, 2019; she does not have the locations and times yet. The legislative delegations take requests in advance from agencies that have items that they are promoting. Council Member Denys announced the Volusia County delegation meeting will be held at DeBary City Hall at 9:00 am; Senator Simmons is chairing the delegation. She asked Ms. Bollenback to discuss the indexing of the gas funds; she does not believe the indexing was a priority last year.

8


Ms. Bollenback reviewed the positions from last year and stated more detail is provided on the main focus areas. She reviewed the funding positions again and discussed indexing the local option gas tax. She explained TRIP funding and how it is generated. She stated the priorities of preserving the Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund, the State Transportation Trust Fund and SUN Trail maintenance will remain the same. The next priority is safety; the first item will add bicycle safety to the pedestrian safety priority. The Texting While Driving priority will be rearranged to be more direct. Commissioner Selby referred to pedestrian and non-motorized transportation safety and asked if scooters, electric bikes, skateboards, etc., were considered to be motorized or non-motorized or how they were categorized. Ms. Bollenback replied a new category was created called micro mobility devices (MMD); there is legislation being passed as they are becoming more prevalent. At the state level, they are saying not to prevent them but to figure out how to manage them. The TPO proposes to address MMDs under a new priority for Transportation Technologies. Commissioner Selby commented he personally knows people that have incurred serious injuries on MMDs. Ms. Bollenback stated people are not wearing helmets and riding on the sidewalks and roads. The position is to come up with a plan for MMDs; how to dock them, where to dock them, etc. If they start to clutter a sidewalk it could become an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) issue. Vice Mayor Burton commented that he just returned from Washington D.C. and MMDs are everywhere; there is no particular place to store them and riders drop them wherever they want. He would like to see some type of regulation since we can look at places that are bad and see how to improve it. Mayor Chasez referred to the wording under the Texting While Driving position; it is asking for a primary offense but it was made a primary offense last year. Ms. Bollenback replied she believes it is not a primary offense in general but in school zones; the point is to elevate the issue. Volusia County Council Chair Kelley commented you cannot touch the phone in a school zone. Mayor Chasez stated you can be pulled over at any time in any situation while driving if caught texting as a primary offense. Ms. Bollenback replied the challenge is the driver is holding a handheld device and the police officer cannot ask to see it; drivers could say they were using the navigation system. The MPOAC is moving toward “no handhelds” as other states have done. Mayor Chasez stated she supports that position but does not think “primary offense” is the right wording because legally it was changed to a primary offense last year. Ms. Bollenback agreed and will update the language to reflect that. Chairperson Gilliland asked if the wording would change from texting while driving to handheld devices while driving. Ms. Bollenback deferred to the Board to be clear on the language. Commissioner Cloudman commented the legislation includes all distracted driving including things such as having a dog in your lap. Discussion continued.

Chairperson Gilliland requested the draft 2020 Legislative Positions be sent to board members as soon as possible so they can be discussed next week at the Executive Committee meeting.

B. Presentation and Discussion of an Amendment to the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Chairperson Gilliland stated this amendment includes three things; the funding of two sections of the SR 40 widening project, incorporating performance measures, and advancing the I-95 and US 1 interchange from the unfunded needs list to the cost feasible list. Mr. John stated there is a plan which will affect the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). On October 17, 2019, they are going before the Planning, Land Development, and Regulation Commission (PLDRC) to take the Hand Avenue extension to Tymber Creek Road off the plan as well as Reed Canal Road. This information came from VCARD and he hopes the Volusia County Council will do something about it. Ms. Bollenback stated this amendment is an opportunity to advance some projects. The materials are out for public review and comment. Chairperson Gilliland stated the US 1 and I-95 interchange project has been needed for decades and it is good to see it finally advancing. Commissioner Selby commented that because it is in the SIS, the SR 40 widening allows the opportunity to incorporate the concepts of multimodal and bike lanes into it. Ms. Bollenback replied that the SR 40 project does include a multi-use trail in its entirety. This will allow it to move forward independently once the right-of-way is acquired.

C. Presentation and Discussion of Updated Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) List for R2CTPO

(Handout) Ms. Bollenback stated the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) is a state funded program to fund projects of regional significance including locally funded projects. It requires a 50% match in most areas of the state; however, as a small, rural county, Flagler County does not have a match requirement. The program varies in the amount of funding available each year. It requires a project be in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and a part of an interlocal agreement with neighboring counties. Through participation in the Central Florida MPO Alliance (CFMPOA), this TPO has entered into an agreement that includes all counties in FDOT D-5. A comment was made recently by FDOT staff that the lists were not current and money was being left on the table. In subsequent conversations with FDOT, it was found that this TPO’s list is current and reflects all of the eligible projects in the LRTP. We do not need to update the list but they want to know which projects on the list are actually in play; what projects local governments are willing and able to provide the 50% funding match for. Volusia County responded quickly and DeLand is currently discussing it to see if they are able to provide the match for a project they have on the list. Palm Coast does not have a match but they are being encouraged to provide the projects they would like to see completed if funding comes available. This will be discussed at the CFMPOA meeting on October 11, 2019. From a staff perspective, this process will be rolled into the annual Call for Projects; the required letters of support will also include TRIP projects. There will be a change to the guiding resolution for the process; this will address Council Member Denys’ concern from last month on how the TRIP priority process is supposed to happen. Council Member Stiltner referred to the TRIP list and commented that potential costs and timelines are provided; he asked if the cost for the funding period of 2031 is today’s cost or the projected cost for 2031. Ms. Bollenback replied it was the LRTP cost and those will need to be updated annually along with the letters of support.

D. Presentation and Discussion of the Draft Community Safety Action Plan

Ms. Bollenback stated the TPO has pursued a number of activities to improve transportation safety; bicycle helmet fittings, public awareness campaigns, safety studies to identify projects, etc. Other agencies such as FDOT have also conducted activities to improve safety. The idea of the Community Safety Action Plan (CSAP) is to identify what the issues are, what projects and programs are already available and determine what the TPO’s role will be. The timing of this is important because the TPO is getting ready to start building the next Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP); the two-year work program that will begin next summer. Ms. Blankenship will give the presentation and come back next month with the recommendations. Ms. Blankenship gave a PowerPoint presentation of the draft Community Safety Action Plan (CSAP) and stated she will be asking for feedback at the end of the presentation. She reviewed the goals and objectives of the CSAP and stated this is to develop a work plan for TPO staff. She reviewed the five “Es” of safety and stated the CSAP will focus on all but engineering. One of the suggestions at an advisory committee was to add “obedience” or “empathy”. She gave an overview of the data for all crashes in Volusia and Flagler Counties from 2014 to 2018 and stated speeding is a factor in 81% of the crashes. She reviewed impaired, aggressive and distracted driving statistics, data for bicycle and pedestrian deaths, and incapacitating injuries for the same time period. She stated the three main roadways for bicycle and pedestrian fatalities are US 1, US 17 and US 92. She reviewed the conclusions reached at the stakeholder meeting and stated they focused on engineering solutions which is not where the this plan is going; we need more education and enforcement ideas. She asked members for suggestions on what the TPO can do to improve safety. Council Member Perrone commented that he has noticed the southbound left turn lane signals on Dunlawton Avenue do not stay green long enough; only a few cars can get through the turn and he has noticed more cars making the left turn on red. He referred to the intersection of Nova Road and Spruce Creek Road and commented that there is a Shell station there with an exit that is not supposed to be a left turn but people do it anyway. On SR A1A to Ponce Inlet there is a pedestrian crossing with a blinking light and he has noticed that cars do not stop for it to allow pedestrians to cross safely. Ms. Blankenship replied that would be enforcement issue. Council Member Perrone stated there used to be police stops where they would issue warnings the first week and tickets the next but there needs to be funding and police availability. Ms. Blankenship replied that is the High Visibility Law Enforcement program and grant money is currently available. Commissioner Nabicht referred to a commissioned document from the federal government entitled “America’s Burning” from the 1980’s; it was noted in that document that most deaths in house fires occurred at night while people were sleeping. This led to widespread residential use of smoke detectors. Then they found people did not change the batteries in smoke detectors or have an exit plan; this is the education component. To have a culture change they started a fire safety program that began in kindergarten and carried through high school with age appropriate curriculum. It was found that the students were hearing the message and it became second nature to them; they were telling the parents to replace the batteries in the smoke detector and to practice an escape plan. We can use all the engineering solutions available but unless we educate to create a culture change it will not be effective. It has to start in the school system and the school system has to allow it to be part of the curriculum. Commissioner Selby referred to enforcement and stated Ormond Beach Police Chief Godfrey informed the City Commission that most crashes happen on Friday nights and were speed-related. They did a joint enforcement with other police departments, mostly motorcycle officers, on Granada Boulevard. It was a high visibility effort and was highly effective. Another benefit was that all the officers liked doing it and working with other departments. He noted the most effective crosswalks are the ones with the rectangular, rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs); they are pedestrian activated, solar powered with flashing lights. There is ample signage to warn drivers the crosswalk is ahead. The diamond crosswalk signs that flash continuously 24 hours

11


a day, seven days a week, are not as effective as drivers become immune to them. Engineering does need to be addressed and things need to be simplified. Ms. Bollenback clarified that the intent is not to say engineering does not matter; the TPO has done a SR A1A pedestrian study, a high crash location study and school safety studies. Currently, there are more engineering recommendations than funds to build them so we have to look at other options. Councilwoman Power referred to the Crash Analysis Report and commented that the data is from 2011 to 2015; she asked how relevant that data is since the state is moving toward a vision zero for crashes. She asked if there is trend where one solution works better than another. Ms. Bollenback replied that sometimes there is a year or two before the statistics can be vetted and a report posted but that none of the statistics are going down. Discussion continued. Mayor Chasez stated speeding, rear-end crashes that involve speeding, a cultural change as Commissioner Nabicht mentioned and starting education young attributing negative things to speeding would be helpful. She believes speeding is an area that needs focus. A cultural change would be longer lasting and have greater benefits to safety than enforcement. Commissioner Nabicht commented that with education, there is one educator for thirty students as opposed to twenty officers only reaching a handful of people. Education is cheaper, accomplishes much more and is longer lasting. Discussion continued. Councilwoman Power referred to drivers education and asked what can be done there because the funding for it seems to be drying up; it is grant based and the gas tax was part of the funding. It was cancelled this year at her daughter’s school. Even when they have it, they only have room for 34 students. Ms. Bollenback stated there was much discussion today regarding education; the TPO will see what it can do to help educate the public. The board agreed to direct staff to add encouraging mechanisms for driver’s education programs to the legislative positions.

E. Presentation and Discussion of Walkability Action Plan and Complete Streets Policy Template (Handout) Mr. Harris stated that according to the Smart Growth National Complete Streets Coalition, complete streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for users including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. A Complete Streets Policy directs transportation planners and engineers to integrate a complete streets approach into their transportation practices, policies and decision making processes to improve the entire street network. The Complete Streets Subcommittee met on August 29, 2019 to review the draft policy and they had a few suggestions which are summarized on their meeting summary on page 36 of the agenda; he reviewed those suggestions. He asked for additional feedback and suggestions. TPO staff will continue to refine the draft policy and bring it back for adoption in October. Commissioner Nabicht commented that a contributing factor to bicycle/pedestrian fatalities and injuries continues to be low lighting; to protect them, the TPO should not approve road widening projects that do not include adequate street lighting. On projects that require a sidewalk, embedded lighting crosswalks and pedestrian activated signs should be required.

Council Member Allebach asked members to review the draft Complete Streets Policy; Orange City is working to implement it and will have a presentation tonight. There are levels of other improvements that are helpful to the health of the residents of Volusia County that walking or moving will improve. If a sidewalk is built next to a school students can walk safely and get needed exercise. The health department has funding to improve health and it is another to fund these projects if a Complete Streets Policy is adopted. Mr. Peterson stated that although the CAC agrees with the concept, it had two concerns regarding this draft policy. The first one is the cities that have a swale drainage system instead of curb and gutters would be at a disadvantage if extra points are given for these projects. The second concern deals with cost; if projects are expanded to include the complete streets concept, it adds to the cost. If additional right-of-way is needed that will significantly increase the cost and funding would not be available for other projects. The concept is good but the CAC feels more thought needs to be given to the implementation. Mayor Chasez referred to the draft policy included in the agenda and the two highlighted performance measures; the health specific measures and to consider equality, demographic patterns and communities. She asked what was in mind for these performance measures. Mr. Harris replied additional reference information and statistics from the Volusia County Health Department were included. Regarding the performance measures, the concept is to utilize the TPO’s adopted performance measures for this policy but to add a health component as well. Ms. Bollenback commented that is to be determined; staff is working with the health department on it. Mayor Chasez asked if it would enhance funding opportunities if this component was added. Ms. Bollenback replied yes, but not through the traditional funding sources that the TPO prioritizes projects for; it may determine which projects get a higher ranking if it is included as part of the ranking process. It will not get more funding there but will allow the TPO to pursue other grants. Chairperson Gilliland referred to the handout of comments provided by Volusia County and asked Mr. Jon Cheney, Volusia County Traffic Engineering Director, if he had any additional comments. Mr. Cheney replied no. Chairperson Gilliland asked if this will be back next month as an action item and if it would go back through the advisory committees. Mr. Harris replied yes to both questions.

F. FDOT Report

Ms. Wyche stated a flyer soliciting requests for Sun Trail funding was emailed. Ms. Bollenback replied it was sent to the TCC members but she would forward it to the board members. Ms. Wyche announced the FDOT D-5 Work Program will have a virtual public hearing from October 21, 2019 through October 25, 2019; it will be available 24 hours per day at www.d5wpph.com. There will be an informational outreach meeting on Thursday, October 24, 2019 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the D-5 office in DeLand.

VII. Executive Director’s Report (Handout)

http://www.d5wpph.com/


Ms. Bollenback stated the 2045 LRTP Subcommittee members list of geographic locations was handed out. She gave a breakdown; three from East Volusia, three from West Volusia, two from Flagler County and Palm Coast, four from Volusia County and one from the disabled community. Cities and county government are represented as well as citizens and is well balanced in terms of geographic locations. Chairperson Gilliland asked where Mr. Dave Castagnacci, CAC, from Volusia County lives. Commissioner Selby replied Ormond Beach. Chairperson Gilliland commented that Southeast Volusia County was not represented. Ms. Bollenback replied it will be brought up at the advisory committees and staff will ask for volunteers from Southeast Volusia. → Update on SU Funding/Work Program

Ms. Bollenback stated there is just over $1 million in the traffic operations set aside box and $1 million for bicycle/pedestrian in the current year. The money in traffic operations is General Funds SU (GFSU) and that funding does not expire until 2022 so staff has asked that the funding be put into the next fiscal year to advance a Deltona paved shoulders project for Elkcam Boulevard. For the bicycle/pedestrian funding, staff submitted two Daytona Beach projects; the Fremont Avenue and Derbyshire sidewalk projects. There is still $3.6 million in Advanced Construction (AC) funds in current year.

→ Update on Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials/Sales Tax Referendum

Ms. Bollenback stated the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials met and discussed issues other than transportation, such as emergency response. They also had a presentation on growth management.

VIII. River to Sea TPO Board Member Comments

Council Member Stiltner referred to the intersection of CR 415 and Pioneer Trail and commented there seems to be new activity and interest there; he asked if an update could be given at the next board meeting. There is a lot of growth coming out of Port Orange and New Smyrna Beach westward and it is catching them off guard. Ms. Bollenback replied yes. Commissioner Selby commented that Volusia County Council Chair Kelley had another appointment and had requested the list of transportation acronyms be provided as a regular attachment in the agenda. Councilwoman Power stated she went through the intersection at CR 415 and Pioneer Trail after both of the recent accidents; there are simple things that could be done that would not require a six month wait for a traffic study. She does not always agree with what traffic studies and engineers come up with. She hopes that this intersection issue gets put to the front burner. Commissioner Nabicht suggested installing rumble strips would help; there are flashing lights and stops signs in place. A roundabout will take a very long time to do. Mr. Jon Cheney, Volusia County Traffic Engineering Director, stated Volusia County is making interim improvements to that intersection including blinking lights, foliage and maintenance. The county also wants to reclaim its land on the Cabbage Patch side to do some gore striping. An engineer is out there this morning to see if rumble strips would be appropriate. The study is done and there are both short and long term recommendations. Chairperson Gilliland commented he appreciates the comments made earlier regarding drivers education; if you are pulled over you are supposed to keep your hands on the steering wheel until told to move them by the police

14


officer; dozens of shootings could have been avoided if people had kept their hands on the wheel. This is something he learned in drivers education. Mr. Persis referred to the drivers education program and stated it is funded by the surcharge on traffic tickets statewide which have decreased; this is why the funding for the program has been reduced. He hopes that it will increase since tickets can now be given for texting and driving.

Policy for: TIMEKEEPING & TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENTS

Background Reason for Policy: To establish effective internal controls for the review and oversight of time

sheet reporting and expense reimbursements for R2CTPO staff. This policy and procedure is intended to supplement information included in the R2CTPO Handbook of Employee Policies and Practices (Employee Handbook).

Additional Action Needed: This policy and procedure should be reviewed periodically and incorporated into the R2CTPO Employee Handbook during the next update.

Approval Required: R2CTPO Board

Effective Date: November 1, 2019

Relevant Documents: R2CTPO Employee Handbook, 2 CFR 200.430, 2 CFR 200.303, Section 112.061 Florida Statutes, Executive Director Employment Agreement

Existing Guidance: The R2CTPO Employee Handbook, Section 4 (I) “Timekeeping” addresses the importance of recording time worked and states: “It is the employee’s responsibility to sign their time records to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. The Executive Director will review and then initial the time record before submitting it for payroll processing.” Additionally, 2 CFR 200.430 “Compensation” requires that “federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect work performed.” These records must be supported by a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated.” The Employee Handbook also addresses Travel Expenses for R2CTPO employees in Section 7 (V). This section allows R2CTPO employees to be reimbursed “for reasonable business travel expenses incurred while on assignments.”

Policy Direction Timekeeping R2CTPO employees, including the Executive Director, document their work related activities by completing timesheets that document weekly activities and submitting these once every two weeks. Completed timesheets shall accurately reflect the time worked each day by task or the holiday, personal time off (PTO), or other authorized options for recording R2CTPO related activity. Detailed descriptions of work activities are listed on the reverse side of the timesheets to document work progress, training, meeting attendance, travel and other activities. This information is used to develop progress reports that accompany billing invoices. When completed, employees sign their timesheets and submit them to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for review of funding availability, allowable charges and availability of PTO. Upon satisfactory review, the CFO initials each timesheet and provides them to the Executive Director to review for accuracy, allowable charges and detailed work activity. Once completed, the Executive Director signs and returns timesheets to the CFO for processing.

Timesheets of the Executive Director will be submitted to the CFO to review for funding availability, allowable charges and availability of PTO. Upon satisfactory review, the CFO will initial the timesheet and provide to a senior staff member to screen for completeness and accuracy. Upon completion of their review, the staff member will sign the timesheet and return to the CFO.

On a monthly basis, the CFO will meet with the R2CTPO Board Chair to review completed timesheets of the Executive Director. The review will involve screening a sample of timesheets for timely submission, accuracy and consistency of work detail. The Board Chair will address any irregularities with the Executive Director and/or the CFO as appropriate. Once completed, the

25

Board Chair will sign the timesheets that were reviewed and will report completion of the review to the Executive Committee and Board. The 1st Vice-Chair may also complete the review if the Board Chair is unavailable.

Travel Expense Reimbursement The R2CTPO reimburses employees for reasonable business travel expenses incurred while on assignment in support of R2CTPO activities. The R2CTPO uses funds provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to cover a portion of the travel costs. Travel costs being reimbursed by FDOT from grant funds must conform to the requirements of Section 112.061, Florida Statutes, Chapter 69I-42, F.A.C., Department of Financial Services Reference Guide for State Expenditures, FDOT Disbursement Handbook, any policies issued by the FDOT and the terms of any contracts the R2CTPO has with the FDOT.

Extended business travel includes work assignments outside the R2CTPO planning area that are longer than a single day involving overnight accommodations, registration fees and, possibly, airfare. All extended business travel for employees must be approved in advance by the Executive Director and the CFO. Requests are to be submitted using the R2CTPO Travel Form. Extended travel requests for the Executive Director must be approved in advance by the R2CTPO CFO and Board Chair or 1st Vice-Chair if the Chair is unavailable.

When travel is complete, employees should submit a completed travel expense report within 7 calendar days. Completed reports will be submitted using the R2CTPO Travel Form and FDOT Contractor Travel Form (#300-00-06)and must include receipts for all individual expenses submitted for reimbursement as well as relevant information such as conference agendas. Completed travel reports will be submitted to the CFO for review. The CFO will review for completeness and accuracy. Upon satisfactory review, the CFO will sign the report and provide it to the Executive Director for review and approval.

Extended business travel completed by the Executive Director should be reported on the R2CTPO Travel Form and FDOT Contractor Form (#300-00-06). Completed forms will be submitted to the CFO for review within 7 calendar days of completing a trip. The CFO will review for completeness and accuracy. Upon satisfactory review, the CFO will sign the report and provide it to the Board Chair for review and approval. The 1st Vice-Chair may also complete the review if the Board Chair is unavailable.

Single day travel expenses may be incurred within or outside of the R2CTPO planning area. Reimbursement for travel expenses such as personal vehicle mileage, tolls, and commuter rail boarding is provided for R2CTPO employees. Expenses for single day travel are not required to be approved in advance. These expenses are submitted on the FDOT Contractor Travel Form (#300-000-06) which should be submitted at least monthly. Completed travel forms will be submitted to the R2CTPO CFO for review. The CFO will review for completeness and accuracy. Upon satisfactory review, the CFO will sign the report and provide it to the Executive Director for review and approval.

Single day travel expenses incurred by the Executive Director are reimbursed for travel outside the R2CTPO planning area (as established in the Executive Director Employee Agreement). These expenses are submitted on the FDOT Contractor Travel Form (#300-000-06) which must be submitted to the Board Chair or 1st Vice-Chair if the Chair is unavailable for review and approval at least monthly.

MEETING SUMMARY


V. ACTION ITEMS

A. REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2019-18 AMENDING THE 2040 LONG RANGE

TRANSPORTATION PLAN (LRTP)

Background Information:

The River to Sea TPO is seeking to amend the 2040 LRTP to reflect updated funding for the following three (3) projects as included in the updated Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Long Range Cost Feasible Plan dated June 25, 2018:

• I-95 at US 1 Interchange Modifications: This project includes proposed improvements to the

interchange at I-95 and US 1. This project is being proposed to be moved from the 2040 LRTP Unfunded Needs List to the Strategic Intermodal Systems (SIS) Cost-Feasible Projects List

• SR 40 Widening from Cone Road to SR 11: Advancing funding from years 2031-40 of the 2040 LRTP to years 2026-30 on the SIS Cost Feasible Projects List

• SR 40 Widening from SR 11 to SR 15 (US 17): Advancing funding from years 2031-40 of the 2040 LRTP to years 2026-30 on the SIS Cost Feasible Projects List

Since adoption of the 2040 LRTP in January 2016, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) updated their long range revenue estimates and updated the “cost feasible” SIS plan that extends out to the year 2045. In that updated plan, funding for the three projects was identified. The interchange project was identified as needed, but unfunded, in the TPO plan.

In addition, as a result of new requirements for transportation planning and Transportation Performance Management (TPM), the TPO is also required to develop an amendment that incorporates the new planning requirements and performance measures into the LRTP. Resolution 2019-18 and 2040 LRTP Amendment #2 are provided with this agenda packet for your review and approval.

Background of the Transportation Planning Rule

Pursuant to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) Act enacted in 2012 and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act enacted in 2015, state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan/Transportation Planning Organizations (M/TPOs) must incorporate certain planning activities into the planning processes of the organization and they must apply a transportation performance management approach in carrying out their federally required transportation planning and programming activities.

On May 27, 2016, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued the Statewide and Nonmetropolitan/Metropolitan Transportation Planning Final Rule (The Planning Rule). This rule details how state DOTs and MPOs must implement new MAP-21 and FAST Act transportation planning requirements, including the incorporation of new planning factors, planning activities and transportation performance management provisions. Additional guidance has been provided by the FHWA Florida Division and the Florida DOT Office of Policy Planning.

Long Range Planning Activities

During development of the 2040 LRTP, the River to Sea TPO considered eight planning factors as established by federal requirements. Goals established in the plan were linked to these planning factors (See Chapter 2 – Table 2, Page 13). At that time, the new planning rules had been established, however, guidance had not been provided regarding the implementation of these new requirements. The new planning factors include:

Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwaterimpacts of surface transportation

Enhance travel and tourism

Additional planning activities are also required by the new planning rule. These include:

Incorporating intermodal facilities that support intercity transportation, including intercity buses andintercity bus facilities and commuter vanpool providers.

Including public ports and intercity bus operators, and employer-based commuting programs, such ascarpool or vanpool programs, transit benefit programs, parking cash-out programs, shuttle programs,or telework programs, to the list of interested parties for the MPO’s Public Participation Plan.

Add tourism and natural disaster risk reduction agencies to the list of agencies the MPO should consultwith when developing the LRTP and TIP.

The following few sections of this appendix address the planning factors, as well as the additional planning considerations as they’ve been incorporated into the planning activities of the River to Sea TPO.

Improving Resiliency and Reliability

The River to Sea TPO planning area is shaped by the presence of water; the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, St. Johns River and numerous canals, springs and lakes weave through our communities. Proximity to these beautiful waterways is what attracts many of us to live here and encourages so many others to visit. In planning for our communities, it’s important that we monitor, predict, plan for, and live with the water that surrounds us.

Page 1 of 1338

In October 2016, the coastal area was hit by Hurricane Matthew. The resulting storm surge caused significant damage to SR A1A in Flagler County and northern Volusia County, which left the road impassable in many locations. Emergency management organizations responded immediately to secure the area. FDOT also worked quickly to stabilize the shoreline, construct temporary travel lanes and re-open the road in record time. The damage caused by Hurricane Matthew and the subsequent response provide a valuable example of effective cooperation, communication and action.

Severe weather events are predicted to become more commonplace in future years. If these predictions are correct, the strength and success of our community will be defined by our ability to respond effectively to unpredictable and potentially disruptive events. Severe weather events include flooding from rising tides and extreme rainfall, significant fluctuations in temperature, high winds, heatwaves, droughts and windstorms (including tornadoes and tropical storms). The consequences of these events can include damage and deterioration of existing infrastructure, interference with evacuation plans, reduced effectiveness of storm water systems, limited access to property and reduced bridge clearances for vessels. Preparing for future events will require adaptation and resiliency. Adaptation involves changing or modifying our community to suit new conditions in order to reduce potential negative effects. Resiliency is the ability to anticipate, prepare for, and withstand changing conditions and recover rapidly from disruptions.

Creating more adaptive and resilient communities will require a variety of actions involving planning efforts, infrastructure changes, operations and response activities, and proactive governance. The River to Sea TPO has been proactive in addressing issues of transportation resiliency and reliability including the following activities:

Project Ranking Criteria in the 2040 LRTP (January 2016) – Emergency evacuation in response to crisis events has been an emphasis area for the River to Sea TPO for many years. In the assessment of prioritization of projects considered for the 2040 LRTP, the TPO considered additional weighting for improvements to evacuation routes identified by local emergency agencies (see Chapter 6, Table 21 and Appendix I).

2016 Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment (August 2016) – In partnership with the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, the River to Sea TPO completed an initial and conservative assessment of the potential vulnerabilities of the planning area for issues associated with sea level rise.

River to Sea TPO Fiscal Year 2015/16 Annual Report (December 2016) – In a follow-up to coastal damage resulting from flooding and storm surge, the annual report was used as a mechanism to promote awareness of resiliency and system reliability.

River to Sea TPO Annual Planning Retreat (March 3, 2017) - In partnership with Volusia/Flagler Association for Responsible Development (V/FCARD), the River to Sea TPO held a planning workshop to discuss transportation issues associated with sea level rise.

2017 Resilient Volusia County Assessment (September 2017) - In partnership with the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, the River to Sea TPO analyzed impact areas resulting from 100-year coastal flooding levels inclusive of storm surge based on sea level rise projections from the Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool, identified a resiliency stakeholder working group, and identified implementation strategies and educational materials to enhance community resiliency.

2018 Resilient Flagler County Assessment (September 2018) - In partnership with the Northeast Florida Regional Council, the River to Sea TPO analyzed impact areas resulting from 100-year coastal

Page 2 of 1339

flooding levels inclusive of storm surge based on sea level rise projections from the Sea Level Scenario Sketch Planning Tool, identified a resiliency stakeholder working group, and identified implementation strategies and educational materials to enhance community resiliency.

Interagency Partnering (Ongoing) – The River to Sea TPO continues to partner with local Emergency Management agencies/departments, local governments, regional planning councils, and other agencies that meet periodically to review and assess resiliency efforts.

Incorporation of Resiliency in Project Ranking Criteria (January 2019) – In updates currently being considered by the TPO transportation improvement projects that address resiliency have been added to the project application criteria used to rank projects during the annual call for projects.

Enhancing Travel and Tourism

Tourism represents a significant portion of the local and state economy. The River to Sea TPO has considered tourism as an integral part of the transportation planning efforts of the organization and actively partners with local tourism agencies during the development of the LRTP. The following activities represent the efforts of the River to Sea TPO to ensure transportation matters involving travel and tourism are considered in the transportation planning activities of the TPO:

Considerations in the 2040 LRTP (January 2016)o Project Ranking Criteria for access and connectivity to Activity Centers has been an emphasis

area for the River to Sea TPO for many years. In the assessment of prioritization of projects considered for the 2040 LRTP, the TPO considered additional weighting for multimodal improvements to corridors providing access to designated activity centers.

o Presentations and Stakeholder involvement for agencies directly related to tourism such as the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Lodging & Hospitality Association.

Partnering with the Lodging & Hospitality Association in the dissemination of the “Tell the TPO Survey” Presentations regarding Tourism in Transportation to the River to Sea TPO Board and the International

Speedway Boulevard Coalition Participation and support in various events such as: the Annual Tourism and Travel Recognition

Celebration and the Annual Bike Florida Tour event. Participation in the Central Florida Regional Visitor Study (estimated completion Spring 2019)

Additional Planning Considerations

The River to Sea TPO recognizes the value of integrating additional planning considerations into the planning activities of the organization. The following information outlines the planning activities pursued by the River to Sea TPO with regards to the planning considerations.

Incorporating Intermodal Facilities

Intercity Bus, Intercity/Commuter Rail and Commuter Vanpools are important elements in supporting a healthy transportation system. These services provide important intercity travel choices for residents and visitors. They also help play a role in reducing congestion, pollution, and energy consumption through automobile vehicle trip reductions, fuel savings and lower emissions. Identifying intermodal facilities that support intercity transportation, including intercity buses, intercity bus facilities and commuter vanpool

Page 3 of 1340

providers can be important to the long term success of these services. The River to Sea TPO has been engaged in efforts to support these services as follows:

Participation in the Intermodal Transit Station Study (March 2014) – Completed by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in collaboration with Votran, the City of Daytona Beach, Volusia County, International Speedway Boulevard (ISB) Coalition and other stakeholders to support the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system which is economically efficient and safely moves people and goods in an energy-efficient manner.

Considerations were included in the 2040 LRTP (January 2016) - In the assessment of prioritization of projects considered for the 2040 LRTP, the TPO considered additional weighting for projects that improved access and connectivity to the Designated Intermodal Terminal.

Partnering with ReThink Your Commute (Ongoing) – The River to Sea TPO collaborates with reThink Your Commute to promote ridesharing transportation solutions and to incorporate ride sharing into the planning processes of the TPO.

Participation in the Volusia County Transit Connector Study (February 2017) - Completed by FDOT in collaboration with Votran, Volusia County, and other stakeholders to evaluate the potential for developing a premium transit connection between SunRail and Daytona Beach (including a multimodal hub).

Outreach to various providers (Ongoing) – The R2CTPO maintains an open dialogue with existing service providers such as SunRail, Greyhound, and Daytona Beach International Airport as well as potential service providers such as Brightline.

Expanding the Stakeholders in Public Participation

Additional planning considerations include involving intercity bus operators and commuting programs such as carpool or vanpool programs in the planning activities of the TPO and adding them to the list of interested parties as part of the TPO’s Public Participation Plan. Public outreach requirements also include adding tourism and natural disaster risk reduction agencies to the list of agencies the MPO should consult with when developing the LRTP.

As stated previously, the River to Sea TPO has routinely collaborated with reThink Your Commute, with the Lodging & Hospitality Association and with the Convention and Visitors Bureau on planning activities, including the development of the 2040 LRTP. These activities are documented in Chapter 5 of the 2040 LRTP titled “Public Outreach” and in Appendix E. As a key component of the local economy, tourism activities (including the employees who support the industry) are central to many of the transportation considerations in the planning area. The TPO has also worked with emergency management teams from Volusia and Flagler Counties as part of resiliency planning efforts. Members of emergency management are also represented on the Technical Coordinating Committee, an advisory committee of the TPO board. The TPO has had limited communication with intercity bus providers who often communicate with FDOT Central Office staff regarding state-wide planning needs and capital funding opportunities.

Long range transportation planning activities will begin in 2019 as the River to Sea TPO updates the metropolitan transportation plan and extends the planning horizon to the year 2045. The update will continue to build on previous practices of the TPO in considering the added planning factors of resiliency and tourism. In keeping with the spirit and intent of the FAST Act, the public outreach activities will be expanded and more clearly documented to demonstrate the inclusion of interested parties such as intercity bus operators, commuter program managers, tourism agencies and natural disaster risk reduction agencies.

Transportation Performance Management

Performance Management is a strategic approach to connect investment and policy decisions in order to help achieve performance goals. Performance measures are quantitative criteria used to evaluate progress. Performance measure targets are the benchmarks against which collected data is gauged. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) required State DOTs and MPOs to conduct performance-based planning by tracking performance measures and setting data-driven targets to improve those measures. Performance-based planning ensures the most efficient investment of federal transportation funds by increasing accountability, transparency, and providing for better investment decisions that focus on key outcomes related to national goals including:

Improving Safety;

Maintaining Infrastructure Condition;

Reducing Traffic Congestion;

Improving the Efficiency of the System and Freight Movement;

Protecting the Environment; and,

Reducing Delays in Project Delivery.

Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act supplements the MAP-21 legislation by establishing timelines for State DOTs and MPOs to comply with the requirements of MAP-21. State DOTs are required to establish statewide targets and MPOs have the option to support the statewide targets or adopt their own.

There are several milestones related to the required content of the System Performance Report:

In any LRTP adopted on or after May 27, 2018, the System Performance Report must reflect Highway Safety (PM1) measures;

In any LRTP adopted on or after October 1, 2018, the System Performance Report must reflect Transit Asset Management measures

In any LRTP adopted on or after May 20, 2019, the System Performance Report must reflect the Bridge Condition Measures and Pavement Condition Measures (PM-2) and the System Performance Measures (travel time reliability, PM-3)

The River to Sea TPO recognizes the importance of linking goals, objectives, and investment priorities to stated performance objectives, and that establishing this link is critical to the achievement of national transportation goals and statewide and regional performance targets. As such, the LRTP directly reflects the goals, objectives, performance measures, and targets as they are described in other public transportation plans and processes, including:

Project Ranking Criteria in the 2040 LRTP (January 2016) – Improving transportation safety has beenan emphasis area for the River to Sea TPO for many years. In the assessment of prioritization ofprojects considered for the 2040 LRTP, the TPO considered additional weighting for improvementsthat address safety concerns on the transportation network (see Chapter 2 and 6 of the 2040 LRTP).

Incorporation of Measures in Project Ranking Criteria (Ongoing) – The TPO has a long history ofemphasizing safety in the prioritization of transportation projects as a weighted factor in the criteriaused to rank projects during the annual call for projects.

Interagency Partnering (Ongoing) – For many years, the River to Sea TPO has participated in variouspartnerships to promote safety awareness and to identify and address safety concerns throughout thecommunity. This includes involvement in the Community Traffic Safety Teams and Safe Kids Coalition.

Page 5 of 1342

Congestion Management Process and Plan (October 2018) - The congestion management process requires the establishment and use of a coordinated, performance-based approach to transportation decision-making to support national goals for the federal-aid highway and public transportation programs. In addition to congestion resulting from traffic volume, this report incorporated additional transportation measures used in performance management.

Roadway Safety Evaluation & Improvement Study (September 2018) – Building upon a crash analysis performed in 2017, this study developed a process to identify and mitigate the causes of crashes at high crash locations throughout the planning area.

Safety Performance Measures (PM-1)

Safety is the first national goal identified in the FAST Act. In March of 2016, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Safety Performance Management Measures Rule (Safety PM Rule) was finalized and published in the Federal Register. The rule requires MPOs to set targets for the following safety-related performance measures and report progress to the State DOT:

Fatalities;

Serious Injuries;

Nonmotorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries;

Rate of Fatalities per 100M Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT); and

Rate of Serious Injuries per 100M VMT.

The 2016 Florida Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is the statewide plan focusing on how to accomplish the vision of eliminating fatalities and reducing serious injuries on all public roads. The SHSP was developed in coordination with Florida’s 27 metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) through Florida’s Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC). The SHSP development process included review of safety- related goals, objectives, and strategies in MPO plans. The SHSP guides FDOT, MPOs, and other safety partners in addressing safety and defines a framework for implementation activities to be carried out throughout the state.

The Florida SHSP and the Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) both highlight the commitment to a vision of zero deaths. The FDOT Florida Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Annual Report documents the statewide interim performance measures that move the state toward the vision of zero deaths. The River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization has had a longstanding commitment to improving transportation safety, which is demonstrated through planning and programming activities. Activities included in the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), such as the completion of school safety studies for all elementary and middle schools within the planning area, pedestrian law enforcement training and exercises, health and safety partnerships with local agencies, participation on the Community Traffic Safety Teams and helmet distribution programs, have led to increased safety awareness and project specific recommendations to reduce injuries and fatalities throughout the planning area.

In January 2018, the River to Sea TPO adopted safety performance targets in support of FDOT’s 2018 safety targets. The TPO targets include a decrease in each of the safety measurements of 2% per year. In order to achieve the reduction established by the safety targets, the TPO has evaluated projects that fall into specific investment categories established by the TPO in the project application, evaluation, and ranking process. The River to Sea TPO recognizes the limitations of their role in affecting transportation safety. At this point, the TPO has not set long range targets for crash reduction, but has signaled support for the FDOT goal of zero.

The TPO has long utilized an annual project ranking criteria that identifies and prioritizes projects aimed at improving transportation safety. The ranking criteria are updated annually and are included in the appendices of the TIP. Going forward, the project evaluation and prioritization processes used in the LRTP and the TIP will continue to use a data-driven strategy that considers stakeholder input to evaluate projects that have an anticipated effect of reducing both fatal and injury crashes. The following information reflects the data and goals approved by the River to Sea TPO in January 2018.

Fatalities: This target reflects a two percent (2%) annual reduction in the number of fatalities from the year 2016. This sets a target of reducing the annual fatalities to 136 with a resulting five-year rolling average of 123.3 in 2018.

Number: 136

5-Year Rolling Average: 123.3

Serious Injuries: This target reflects a two percent (2%) annual reduction in the number of serious injuries from the year 2016. This sets a target of reducing the annual serious injuries to 743 with a five-year rolling average of 722.0 in 2018.

Number: 743


Fatalities Rate*: This target reflects a two percent (2%) annual reduction in the fatalities rate from the year 2016. This sets a target of reducing the fatality rate to 1.929 with a five-year rolling average of 1.783 in 2018.

Number: 1.929


Serious Injuries Rate*: This target reflects a two percent (2%) annual reduction in the serious injuries rate from the year 2016. This sets a target of reducing the serious injuries rate to 10.343 with a five-year rolling average of 10.256 in 2018.

Number: 10.343


Non-Motorized Serious Injuries and Fatalities: This target reflects a two percent (2%) annual reduction in the number of non-motorized serious injuries and fatalities from the year 2016. This sets a target of reducing the non-motorized serious injuries and fatalities to 108 with a five-year rolling average of 102.9 in 2018.

Number: 108


*VMT specific to the planning area is not currently available, which includes all of Volusia County and a portion of Flagler County. As such, the fatalities rate was calculated using the data available for the entirety of Volusia and Flagler County, pending the provision of data at the planning area level.

The TPO’s goal of reducing fatal and serious injury crashes is linked to the LRTP and the TIP and the process used in prioritizing the projects is consistent with federal requirements.

Transit Asset Performance Measures

On July 26, 2016, FTA published the final Transit Asset Management rule. This rule applies to all recipients and sub-recipients of Federal transit funding that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets. The rule defines the term “state of good repair,” requires that public transportation providers develop and implement Transit Asset Management (TAM) plans, and establishes state of good repair standards and performance measures for four asset categories as shown in the following table. The rule became effective on October 1, 2018.

Asset Category Performance Measure

Equipment Percentage of non-revenue, support-service and maintenance vehicles that have met or exceeded their useful life benchmark

Rolling Stock Percentage of revenue vehicles within a particular asset class that have either met or exceeded their useful life benchmark

Infrastructure Percentage of track segments with performance restrictions

Facilities Percentage of facilities within an asset class rated below condition 3 on the TERM scale

To support progress towards TAM performance targets, transit investment and maintenance funding in the River to Sea TPO 2040 LRTP totals $265.9 million, approximately 14 percent of total LRTP funding. In addition, the TPO allocates 30% of the Transportation Management Area (TMA) funding or roughly $31 million to assist local transit agencies in meeting their State of Good Repair (SGR) goals.

TAM Plans and Targets

The Transit Asset Management (TAM) rule requires that every transit provider receiving federal financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 develop a TAM plan or be a part of a group TAM plan prepared by a sponsor (i.e. FDOT). As part of the TAM plan, public transportation agencies are required to set and report transit targets annually. Transit providers or their sponsors must also share these targets with each M/TPO in which the transit provider’s projects and services are programmed in the M/TPOs TIP. M/TPOs can either agree to support the TAM targets, or set their own separate regional TAM targets for the M/TPOs planning area.

The River to Sea TPO planning area is served by three (3) transit service providers: Flagler County Public Transportation (FCPT), Votran, and SunRail. Votran and SunRail are considered Tier I providers and, as such, each must develop a TAM Plan. FCPT is considered a Tier II provider and thus is included in a group TAM plan developed by the FDOT Public Transit Office in Tallahassee.

The River to Sea TPO will continue to collaborate in transit planning activities and provide support to transit providers including continued inclusion in long range planning activities and transit asset management. The following tables represent the transit data reported by each transit agency for each of the applicable Asset Categories along with the 2019 targets.

The TPO’s goal of supporting local transit providers to achieve transit asset condition targets is linked to this investment plan, and the process used to prioritize the projects within the TIP is consistent with federal requirements.

Bridge and Pavement Condition Measures (PM-2) The bridge and pavement condition performance measures rules issued by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) became effective on May 20, 2017, establishing measures to assess the condition of the pavements and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS). On October 24, 2018 the River to Sea TPO approved measures and targets associated with these facilities utilizing data provided by the FDOT. The data and targets are reflected in the following tables.

% of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Poor condition 0% ≤ 5% ≤ 5%

NOTE: 25% of the Interstate system was not measured due to ongoing construction projects.

Ratings categorized as “GOOD” suggest that no major investment is needed. Facilities rated as “POOR” indicate that major investments are needed.

System Performance Management Measures (PM-3) The third category of performance measures rules issued by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) became effective on May 20, 2017, establishing measures to assess the performance of the National Highway System (NHS), freight movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). Air quality in the River to Sea TPO planning area is above thresholds required for the CMAQ program and therefore monitoring and reporting is not required.

On October 24, 2018 the River to Sea TPO approved measures and targets associated with these facilities utilizing data provided by the FDOT. The data and targets are reflected in the following table.

Page 12 of 1349

System Performance Management Measures and Targets

Performance Measure Current TTR 2-yearTarget

% of person-miles traveled on the Interstate that are reliable 100% ≥ 75% ≥ 70%

% of person-miles traveled on the non-Interstate NHS that are reliable 51% Not

Required ≥ 50%

Truck travel time reliability ratio (TTR) on the Interstate 1.12 ≤ 2.0 ≤ 1.75

Travel time reliability seeks to assess how reliable the highway network is by creating a ratio (called level of travel time reliability, or LOTTR) that compares the worst travel times on a road against the travel time that is typically experienced. Road miles with a LOTTR less than 1.5 are considered reliable. It does not mean that there is not congestion on the road. It means that the amount of time a trip will take is predictable. This calculation is completed for the Interstate system, the National Highway System (NHS) and for Freight traffic utilizing the Interstate system.

Closing Statements The River to Sea TPO recognizes that ongoing efforts must be made to continue incorporating new planning requirements and transportation system performance into the institutional decision-making and documents of the organization. This includes expanding stakeholder involvement, documenting the added planning factors of resiliency and tourism, and further incorporating transportation performance management. The TPO will continue to coordinate with FHWA, FTA, FDOT, and area transit providers to take the actions to further incorporate performance measures as they are established and are more fully understood. As further guidance is provided and transportation data reports are developed, the TPO expects to continue expanding its planning and public outreach activities and strengthening the connection between project programming and improved performance of the transportation system as required.

Increase the efficiency of existing transportation systems by maximizing the deployment of advanced transportation technologies

2020 Legislative Positions Adopted by River to Sea TPO Board 11-27-2019

60

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:

• Indexing Local Option Fuel Taxes to Keep Pace with Inflation

Revenue studies completed in Florida by the Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC) and the Florida Transportation Commission have shown that transportation revenues are not keeping pace with increased costs over time. 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.

• Increase and Stabilize 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 $11 million in 2016 to approximately $157 million in 2014. The R2CTPO supports stable and consistent funding through TRIP.

• Allow Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) and State Transportation Trust Fund (STTF) Dollars to be Used on Local Road Improvements that are Needed to Support the SIS or State Facility

Current state law limits the allocation of SIS funds and STTF funds to use on those systems. However, there are occasions where the most effective solution to managing congestion on an SIS or state facility is to improve local arterial, collector and distributer roads. The River to Sea TPO supports increasing the flexibility of SIS and STTF funds to be used “off-system” when transportation analysis recommends improvements on supporting roads that enhance freight, safety, emergency management, travel time reliability and congestion.

• Identify Resources for the Maintenance and Preservation the State 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 priority for the state 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.

61

Transportation Priority -- Safety

The River to Sea TPO supports legislation that improves transportation safety.

Background These items are intended to support safety initiatives in the State of Florida as well as the national emphasis on transportation safety improvements outlined in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

Improve Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety

Florida consistently ranks at or near the top of the nation in pedestrian and bicycle 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 existing pedestrian and bicycle safety laws; and

increasing performance driven funding for projects that address unsafe conditions.

The 2019 Dangerous by Design report listed the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach Metropolitan Area as the second most dangerous metropolitan area in the nation. Florida DOT is using the Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow 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.

Prohibit the Use of Handheld Electronic Devices While Driving

The River to Sea TPO supports legislation that would improve roadway safety by prohibiting the use of handheld electronic devices while driving. This expands the “Wireless Communications While Driving” law passed by the legislature in 2018 that made texting while driving a primary offense.

Recent crash analyses completed by the River to Sea TPO shows that distracted driving is one of the predominant factors leading to increased crashes. While further research is needed to determine the role of handheld devices in these crashes, other industry research has linked these devices to increases in vehicle crashes.

Benefit

Transportation safety is critical for residents and for the thousands of visitors who choose to vacation here. Changes in Florida law along with other crash reduction efforts improve quality of life and support economic development.

62

Transportation Priority -- Advancing Technology

The River to Sea TPO supports legislation that increases the efficiency of existing transportation systems by maximizing the deployment of advanced transportation technologies.

Background

Transportation technologies are advancing in ways that will transform the industry and, potentially, how people and goods will move in and between our metropolitan areas. Transportation Network Companies (TNC’s) such as Uber and Lyft, automated and connected vehicles, advanced transit systems, advanced traffic signals, and drone delivery as well as technologies not yet developed, provide tremendous opportunities to improve the efficiency and safety of travel.

The River to Sea TPO supports and encourages the Florida legislature to continue establishing state laws and funding mechanisms support the development and implementation of these technological advances. Potential actions include:

Increased infrastructure funding for projects that advance Automated, Connected, Electric and Shared (ACES) technologies.

Increased funding and technical assistance to support the planning and implementation of Smart Cities, automated vehicle pilot projects and other technology innovations.

Establishing laws that address the malicious and intentional interference of the proper functioning of transportation vehicles and systems.

Continued promotion of interoperable and multi-modal smartcard technology that is compatible, universal and accessible for use by all other smartcard technology systems.

Legislative support and funding for the regulation and infrastructure modifications needed to safely and effectively manage the expansion of micro-mobility devices.

Benefit

Advanced technologies in transportation will transform our communities and our economies. These technologies have the potential to dramatically improve safety and efficiency of our existing transportation infrastructure. They also offer improvements in air quality, mobility for transportation disadvantaged people, and quality of life advantages. Cities and states that are proactive in the deployment of transportation technology will be better positioned for success and economic stability in the future.

FIVE “E’S” OF SAFETY

INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

A safe community is one where people are able to participate and live their lives in an environment without fear or risk of harm or injury. The River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) has developed this Community Safety Action Plan (CSAP) to address and improve transportation safety within our local community. The plan has been developed through a collaborative approach and is based on local data.

Providing a safe transportation system is extremely important to the River to Sea TPO and in the past few years, a number of activities have been pursued, including:

• the development of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) that addresses safety • the establishment of ranking criteria that assigns points for infrastructure projects

that address unsafe conditions and funds construction projects that improve safety • completion of safety planning studies such as the School Safety Studies, SR/CR A1A

Pedestrian Safety and Mobility Study, Roadway Safety Evaluation and Improvement Study, etc.

• participation in safety awareness events such as White Cane Awareness/Pedestrian Safety Day, summer school helmet fittings, Mobility Week safety events, etc.

The River to Sea TPO, in partnership with community agencies such as the Florida Department of Health in Volusia & Flagler, law enforcement agencies and local cities and counties, has worked to address the five “E’s” of safety; engineering, enforcement, education, encouragement and evaluation.

ENGINEER: Planning, designing and constructing safe places

ENFORCE:Using law enforcement to ensure safe driving,

walking and riding

EDUCATE: Teaching people to drive,

walk and bike safely

ENCOURAGE: Creating a culture to

recognize and welcome safe driving, walking and

riding

EVALUATE: Monitoring and

measuring data to understand factors

contributing to unsafe conditions

81

BACKGROUND & PROJECT APPROACH

The CSAP was included in the TPO’s FY 2018/19 and 2019/20 Unified Planning Work Program to be completed in 2019. The purpose is to assess existing safety strategies utilized in our planning area and identify community outreach activities that will build upon those efforts to further promote safety. CSAP focus areas will be used to develop a work plan for TPO staff.

Community safety has been consistently identified as a high priority for our residents, tourists and visitors. In the River to Sea TPO’s 2018 Tell the TPO Survey, some of the key findings included:

• Investing in safety and convenience will make travel choices more attractive: Respondents to the survey indicated that they would walk of bicycle more if additional high quality bicycle and pedestrian facilities were constructed. Many felt more should funding should be invested improving walking conditions.

• Improving roadway safety and efficiency are highest priorities: Respondents identified the improvement of safety and transit service as the types of transportation projects that are the highest priorities.

Among the responses to the survey, more than 50% cited safety concerns as reasons they do not walk or bike. It is clear to see that safety is an issue that must be addressed.

This CSAP will review recent safety data and compare it with safety strategies and initiatives that are currently underway in our community. This will help to identify areas that need more attention in order to reduce unsafe activities in our community.

COMMUNITY SAFETY ANALYSIS

STAKEHOLDER/PUBLIC INPUT

The development of this plan began with a review of safety data captured from the past five years through Signal Four Analytics as well as through the TPO’s Crash Analysis Report and Roadway Safety Evaluation & Improvement Study. Current safety campaigns and initiatives in our planning area were identified. A stakeholder group and the TPO’s committees and board convened to discuss the data and strategies and to offer potential ideas that would increase safety. The following agencies and groups provided input into this plan:

• Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 5

• Volusia County Sheriff’s Office • Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University • Safe Kids Coalition • Halifax Heritage Byway

• Daytona Beach Mayors’ Alliance • River to Sea TPO Committees & Board • Volusia County Traffic Engineering • City of Ormond Beach • Halifax Council of the Blind

82

STATISTICS/DATA

A review of the data determined that there were two things that contribute the most to deaths and injuries: distracted driving and speeding.

DISTRACTED DRIVING

Distracted driving can be defined as driving while not fully paying attention to the road. Many people think of texting and driving or talking on the phone when driving; however, you can also be distracted by:

• Reaching for your phone • Changing the radio station • Daydreaming • Checking your GPS • Taking a photo

• Checking email • Posting to social media sites • Eating and drinking • Putting on makeup/grooming

Even speaking to a passenger in your car can be a distraction. You are distracted ANY TIME your mind and/or your eyes are taken off the road. In 2018, there were 1,383 distracted driving crashes in Volusia and Flagler Counties; accounting for about 14% of all crashes. This number is likely underreported and has been estimated to contribute to at least 25% of all crashes. Driver distraction is reported by the National Safety Council to be responsible for more than 58% of teen crashes. In addition, nine people in the U.S. are killed each day as a result of crashes involving a distracted driver, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Teen Safe (www.teensafe.com)

On July 1, 2019, the Wireless Communications While Driving Law, Section 316.305, Florida Statutes, took effect. The law requires that drivers put their phones down and focus on driving. Law enforcement is now able to stop drivers and issue tickets to motorists who are texting and driving. The law also prohibits any use of wireless handheld devices in school and work (construction) zones.

The two most common crash types are rear end collisions and lane departures. Rear end collisions account for nearly 28% of all crashes; the majority being in daylight hours and dry conditions. It can be inferred from this data that many of these crashes are the result of a distracted driver; the driver not paying attention and being unable to brake in time for a stopped

83

vehicle in front of them. The second most common, at 25% of all crashes, are lane departures. Lane departures can be due to driver distraction or being drowsy or impaired. Combining the top two crashes accounts for more than 50% of all collisions, most of which are due to distraction.

SPEEDING

Speeding is defined as the act or practice of exceeding the posted speed limit. Speed also affects safety when drivers are travelling too fast for road conditions, such as during bad weather, when a road is under repair, or in an area at night that isn’t well lit. In Volusia and Flagler Counties, speeding is a contributing factor in 81% of all crashes. About 28% of all traffic deaths that occur each year are caused by a speeding driver. A study from the National Transportation Safety Board declares there’s a singular and unequivocal reason for the rise in traffic deaths: speed is what’s killing Americans.

The TPO planning area ranks high for bicycle and pedestrian injuries and fatalities. While some of these can be attributed to the bicycle and pedestrian behavior, many more are attributed to driver behavior. By reducing speeding and distracted driving, bicycle and pedestrian injuries and fatalities will decrease.

The chart below shows the difference speed can make on the survival rate of pedestrians.

The potential consequences for vehicles that speed include:

• Greater potential for losing control of the vehicle; • Reduced effectiveness of protection equipment; • Increased stopping distance after the driver perceives a danger; and • Increased severity of crashes resulting in more severe injuries or fatalities.

This plan focuses on recommendations to reduce speeding and distracted driving.

84

PREVIOUS WORK EFFORTS

In order to develop recommendations that will have an impact on safety in our area, it is important to look at what is currently being done. Below is a table of many of the initiatives and strategies that are currently occurring:

Initiatives/Strategies Agency Focus Area Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow FDOT Safety Education Initiatives – Advertisements FDOT Safety Put it Down, Focus on Driving FLHSMV/FDOT Distracted Driving Florida Traffic & Bicycle Safety Education Program FDOT/UF Bike/Ped Safety Safe Routes to School Program FDOT Bike/Ped Safety Best Foot Forward Pedestrian Safety Initiative Bike/Walk Central Florida Pedestrian Safety High Visibility Law Enforcement FDOT/Local Governments Pedestrian Safety Arrive Alive, Buckle Up FLHSMV Safety Community Traffic Safety Teams FDOT Safety School Safety Studies River to Sea TPO Safety Bicycle Helmet Fittings River to Sea TPO Bicycle Safety Corridor Assessments River to Sea TPO Safety Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan River to Sea TPO Bike/Ped Safety Safety Performance Targets River to Sea TPO Safety Priority Project Process River to Sea TPO Safety Teen Driver Challenge Florida Sheriff’s Association Defensive Driving

It should be noted that the above listing is not an exhaustive list. It is evident upon reviewing the statistics over time that more needs to be done to drive down crashes, fatalities and injuries.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

1. Develop an Education and Awareness Campaign for Speeding and Distracted Driving The first recommendation is to decrease distracted driving and speeding through an education and awareness campaign. A theme that was evident from the input that was received at the committee and stakeholder meetings was to teach obedience of the laws and safety throughout the school years, beginning in kindergarten and going all the way through high school. By doing this, following the laws and exhibiting safe behaviors will become instinctive and automatic. The TPO will partner with the Volusia and Flagler County school systems, local law enforcement agencies and the general public to develop a safety education and awareness campaign. This will not be an immediate fix; but one that will need to be monitored for many years to come before we can see its full effects.

2. Create a Targeted Print and Social Media Campaign A second recommendation is to develop safety awareness materials geared toward distracted driving that can be distributed through the Hotel & Motel Lodging Association to be displayed at local hotels and motels as well as colleges and universities. These marketing materials may include posters and QR codes that passerby’s can scan with their phones to get information.

85

3. Develop a Speakers’ Group A third recommendation is to partner with people who have been involved in life-changing accidents due to distracted drivers or speeders. The TPO will arrange a schedule for these individuals to speak to groups about their experiences. Groups may include college classes, high school classes, safety events and presentations, etc. This will encourage people to see that these are not just numbers we are talking about but real people who have had their lives forever changed.

4. Continue Existing Programs and Activities The TPO will continue the programs and activities that are currently in place such as:

• Bicycle helmet fittings • Participation in safety and health-related events • Partnering with agencies such as the Florida Department of Health in Volusia and

Flagler Counties, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and local governments to promote change in human behavior

• Complete Streets development and implementation • Continued monitoring of transportation safety performance measures for safety • Development of safety studies

D. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE GUIDING RESOLUTIONS AND PROJECT APPLICATIONS FOR THE ANNUAL CALL FOR PROJECTS

Background Information: Each year, after completion of the project prioritization process, the TPO staff asks the committees to evaluate the process and recommend improvements for the next cycle. The aim is to achieve the best possible outcomes in terms of identifying and promoting transportation-related priorities consistent with the community’s goals and objectives as prescribed in the adopted long-range transportation plan. There are two recommended changes to Criterion #5 - Enhancements to the Transportation System in the Bicycle/Pedestrian Implementation Application to 1) remove the reference that the project be in an adopted plan since it is a duplicate of Criterion #2 and 2) add conformance to the TPO Complete Streets policy as an attribute to the Criterion. Recommended changes to the guiding resolution to the process are included in the agenda packet in strike-through and underline format. TPO staff will lead a discussion and provide an update of recommended changes.

MEETING SUMMARY



F. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF TENTATIVE FIVE-YEAR WORK PROGRAM FOR FY 2020/21 TO 2024/25


Each year, FDOT develops the Five-Year Work Program in accordance with Section 339.135, 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.

A link to the presentation of the FDOT District 5 Work Program Public Hearing can be found here:
