SECTION I – INTRODUCTION

1.1 Definition, Purpose and Process of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) The Martin Metropolitan Transportation Organization (MPO) works with local citizens and agencies to prioritize State and Federal transportation funding for the Martin County planning area. This Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) defines the planning studies and tasks that will be undertaken by the MPO over the next two years, specifically from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020. This document outlines the Martin MPO transportation planning tasks and initiatives as well as on-going, regional coordination efforts.

The objective of the UPWP is to ensure that the Martin MPO’s continuing, cooperative and comprehensive (3-C) approach to planning for transportation needs is maintained and coordinated with other parties as appropriate and required. This effort includes the monitoring and evaluation of existing conditions, the development of improvement strategies, the facilitation of meaningful public input, and the implementation of evaluated and funded strategies. The UPWP is a comprehensive document which communicates to the public and stakeholders how Federal and State transportation dollars will be used for transportation planning activities. MPO plans are often the earliest stage of any major transportation project implemented within the planning area. The MPO provides the public with information about these activities and with opportunities to comment very early in the planning process.

The UPWP is required in order for the MPO to receive funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The major funding categories are FHWA Planning (PL) and FTA Section 5305(d) funds. The UPWP is reviewed and endorsed biannually by the MPO Policy Board and is submitted for review and approval by various Federal funding agencies. Indirect cost rate is not applicable.

The MPO Policy Board includes elected officials from the Martin County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Stuart, the Town of Sewall’s Point and a non-voting member from Indiantown. FDOT is not a voting member on the MPO Board and committees but serves in an advisory capacity.

The Martin MPO will continue to promote regional coordination by participating in local, regional and State organizations. These include but are not limited to FDOT, FHWA, FTA, Martin County, the City of Stuart, and the Towns of Ocean Breeze, Jupiter Island and Sewall’s Point, the St. Lucie TPO and Indian River MPO. Coordination of planning and projects has also occurred with the Palm Beach MPO through MPO staff attendance at meetings of the Regional Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (RTTAC) and the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (SEFTC) on regional planning issues.

1.2 Transportation Planning Activities

The Martin MPO has ongoing comprehensive transportation planning activities as follows:

• 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) – Every five years, the MPO is required to review and update the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The LRTP sets the vision for transportation for all modes of travel throughout the Planning Area and influences projects included in the 5-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The update of the Martin LRTP every five years is one of the primary activities of the Martin MPO to meet Federal and State requirements.

• Complete Streets: Access to Transit Study – In the FY16/17-FY17/18 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), the Martin MPO identified the need to prepare an assessment of Complete Streets with improved access to transit. The Study will assess transportation facility and land use conditions and demands and identify methods by which complete streets facility improvements can be implemented. This will include an assessment of land use and transportation facility conditions and transit access in the County to identify a prioritized list of candidate locations for complete streets improvements. This work effort will include a review of national and State best practices and guidance manuals, including the Florida Department of Transportation Complete Streets Guidebook and context classification of select roadways in Martin County. The FDOT Context Classification Document (August 2017) can be found at http://www.flcompletestreets.com/files/FDOT-context-classification.pdf.

• Congestion Management Process – The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a systematic study that provides for safe and effective management and operation of transportation facilities through the use of demand reduction and operational management strategies. Tier I is the planning process through which a segment of roadway is chosen for further study. Tier II analyzes the selected section of roadway to perform a detailed operational analysis. The CMP Tier II report was adopted by the MPO Policy Board in June 2014, and recommendations such as pedestrian medians for East Ocean Boulevard and Monterey Boulevard were included on the MPO’s FY17 List of Project Priorities (LOPP). This project’s design phase was subsequently funded in FDOT’s FY17-FY21 Tentative Work Program. The MPO is moving forward with its next CMP Major Update.

• Mobility Fee Study – A mobility fee study will assess the prospect of local governments adopting a Mobility Fee to provide an additional funding source for providing mobility through a multimodal transportation system. Implementation of a Mobility Fee schedule would allow an applicant for new development or redevelopment to look up the uses that are proposed and calculate the required mitigation. The Mobility Fee Study recognizes other mode share capacities, including sidewalks, bike lanes and transit ridership.

• Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSP) Major Update – In August of 2018, the Martin County Local Coordinating Board for the Transportation Disadvantaged (LCB-TD) is

5

http://www.flcompletestreets.com/files/FDOT-context-classification.pdf


scheduled to approve the Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSP). Staff will prepare this Major Update to the TDSP for service years 2018-2023. The TDSP serves as a comprehensive operational plan, defining the framework that governs the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) services in Martin County. The TDSP includes a needs assessment and demand estimates based upon U.S. Census data.

1.3 Local Planning Priorities

• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety – Bicyclist and pedestrian crashes and the resulting deaths and injuries are a serious concern for Martin County. Florida has consistently had the highest pedestrian and bicyclist fatality ratio in the United States; Martin County’s percentage of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities surpasses the State’s percentages. Approximately one in every three traffic fatalities in Martin County is a pedestrian or a bicyclist. This is significant as less than 5 percent of all trips are made on foot or by bicycle. These data underscore a need to improve bicycling and walking conditions in Martin County. In February 2018, the MPO Policy Board approved FDOT’s “Vision Zero” targets for the five Federal Safety Performance Measures.

• Congestion Management Process – The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a systematic procedure that provides for safe and effective management and operation of transportation facilities through the use of demand reduction and operational management strategies. Demand reduction may include improving street and land use connectivity so that fewer local trips must use arterial roadways, as well as providing facilities for pedestrian and bicycle travel. Operational management strategies may include intersection and driveway improvements. Both strategies are lower cost alternatives to traditional roadway widening. In addition, the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI) objectives are to improve mobility and quality of life through improvements that encourage the use of alternative transportation modes. These objectives are accomplished through broad-based strategies and slow, managed growth.

• Village of Indiantown Coordination – In November 2017, the residents of Indiantown formally voted in favor of incorporation, becoming the Village of Indiantown. This provides an opportunity for the MPO to formally coordinate with a new local jurisdiction. The MPO Board has also discussed having the currently non-voting Indiantown representative become a voting member on the MPO Policy Board.

• Development Review – Assisting the County in the development review process.

1.4 Air Quality Planning Activities

Air Quality – According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground level ozone have been strengthened to 70 parts per billion (ppb). Ozone values as monitored by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management show that all Florida locations are in compliance with the NAAQS. Martin County, Florida is in attainment.

6


Multimodal Transportation – The most effective way to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is to reduce fossil fuel consumption which, according to the EPA, accounts for about 30% of the total U. S. CO2 emissions. The 2040 LRTP Update was intentionally crafted to address all modes of transportation. Providing transportation choices reduces automobile use and increases human-powered transportation. This results in a reduction of greenhouse gases such as CO2.

1.5 Planning Tasks to be Funded by Titles 23 U.S.C & 49 U.S.C

Task 6.2, Transit Planning, is to be funded under Titles 23 U.S.C and 49 U.S.C. This planning task is summarized under Section III, Element 6 - Transportation Systems Planning, Task 6.2 of the UPWP.

1.6 Public Involvement in Developing the UPWP

The Martin MPO obtains public input on a regular, on-going basis through the involvement of its advisory committees, informational meetings, public hearings and the active involvement of its MPO Policy Board members. The advisory committees are the: Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC); Technical Advisory Committee (TAC); Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). The MPO also staffs the Local Coordinating Board for the Transportation Disadvantaged (LCB-TD). These committees provide recommendations regarding projects, activities and priorities to the MPO Policy Board. The culmination of this input is reflected in this UPWP and other planning documents to be developed through this UPWP.

The MPO has used the principles of environmental justice in the preparation of this document. This is responsive to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) the Safe, Accountable, Flexible Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and most recently, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This includes information contained in the Martin MPO Public Involvement Plan, materials posted on the MPO website, circulation of informational newsletters/flyers, use of the Advisory Committees, input from public workshops, communications with other Martin County Advisory Committees [such as the Community Redevelopment Areas’ (CRAs’) Neighborhood Advisory Committees (NACs)], coordination with other local and regional land and transportation planning agencies and the local government TV broadcast station (MCTV).

All draft documents are made available to the public for comment in reference sections of the County’s libraries and are posted to the MPO’s website. The locations of these documents are provided in the public hearing/review period announcement published in the local newspaper of widest circulation (Stuart News). Comments received through the website, email or in writing are responded to and tracked electronically through a Request for Service (RFS) System.

1.7 State and Federal Planning Emphasis Areas

Transportation planning in Florida has expanded over the past decade to include more emphasis on non-automobile modes. This shift from an automobile-focused process to other modes includes safety considerations for bicycle and pedestrian planning, designing for complete streets, efficient freight movement and integrating transit use for increased mobility. The 2045 LRTP update will include in-depth consideration of multimodal improvement opportunities.

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) requires State DOTs and MPOs to conduct performance-based planning by tracking performance measures and setting data-driven targets to improve those measures. The 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, which requires incorporation of Safety Measures, System Performance Measures, Bridge Measures and Pavement Measures as well as targets for each individual measure.

Regarding regional models of cooperation, the Martin MPO worked across traditional boundaries in developing a regional transportation plan for the Treasure Coast to include all multimodal users, with oversight by the Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC). The Martin MPO was the lead agency in developing the 2040 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP) and continues to work regionally with the St. Lucie TPO and Indian River MPO.

As part of the transportation planning process, using the “Ladders of Opportunity” example, the Martin MPO is identifying transportation connectivity gaps in accessing essential services such as employment, health care, schools/education and recreation. The MPO continues to reach out to traditionally underserved populations to ensure they are engaged in an equitable planning process. For instance, the MPO staff/consultant presented its FEC Railroad Grade Separation Study and its Bicycle/Pedestrian/Trails Master Plan to Neighborhood Advisory Committees (NACs) in Community Redevelopment Areas (CRAs) as part of the public outreach during the development of these studies. Individuals from these communities have also joined the MPO advisory boards.

Priority is also given to State emphasis areas in this updated UPWP. The following are the 2018 Florida Planning Emphasis Areas:

• Rural Transportation Planning - Florida Statutes include several provisions that require coordination with local governments including those in rural areas. For over ten years the Martin MPO Board has had a non-voting member from unincorporated Indiantown, a small rural community in western Martin County. Indiantown has three State designated Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) facilities that run through the centralized area [State Road (SR) 710, Okeechobee Waterway and CSX Railroad]. Florida’s SIS is a high-priority network of transportation facilities critical to Florida economic competitiveness and quality of life. The Martin MPO has supported Indiantown when working with FDOT on crucially needed projects. As a result, SR 710 serves as a multimodal corridor through the community’s town center as well as a regional freight corridor.

8


In November of 2017 the citizens of Indiantown voted to incorporate, becoming the Village of Indiantown. As a result, the Board members discussed having Indiantown become a voting member on the MPO Board. Martin MPO will continue to plan for and coordinate with the Village of Indiantown as well as other rural areas within its planning boundaries that are impacted by regional transportation movements.

• Transportation Performance Measures - FHWA has finalized six interrelated performance rules to implement the transportation performance measures framework established by MAP-21 and the FAST Act. Collectively, the rules address challenges facing the transportation system, including: improving safety, maintaining the condition of the infrastructure, reducing traffic congestions, improving the efficiency of the system and freight movement, protecting the environment, and reducing delays in project delivery. The rules established national performance measures. State DOTs and MPOs must establish targets for each measure. As referenced in Section III, Elements 4 (Long Range Transportation Plan) and 5 (Transportation Improvement Program) of this UPWP, the Martin MPO’s planning documents will identify the strategies and investments used to reach the targets. In February 2018, the Martin MPO Board adopted FDOT’s “Vision Zero” Targets for the five Federal Safety Performance Measures.

• Automated/Connected/Electric/Shared-use (ACES)Vehicles - FHWA and FDOT recognize that the transportation industry is in the midst of change from new technologies, such as ACES vehicles. The Martin MPO will address the potential impacts of ACES vehicles in its 2045 LRTP, referenced in Section III, Element 4. Safety, congestion, roadway design, and future investment demands are among the issues that need to be considered. The 2045 LRTP will also address the challenges and opportunities of ACES vehicles on transit, as well as freight and goods movement.

1.8 Soft Match Definition

• Section 120 of Title 23, U.S.C., permits a State to use certain toll revenue expenditures as a credit toward the non-Federal matching share of all programs authorized by Title 23, (with the exception of Emergency Relief Programs) and for transit programs authorized by Chapter 53 of Title 49, U.S.C. This is in essence a "soft-match" provision that allows the Federal share to be increased up to 100% to the extent credits are available.

• The “soft match” amount being utilized to match the FHWA funding in this UPWP is $172,628 for FY18/19 and $132,777 for FY19/20 for a total soft match amount of $305,405 (22% of total FHWA PL funding).

SECTION II – ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

The Martin MPO is a governmental entity that functions independently but is under the umbrella of Martin County host support systems through a contract for services agreement and in close coordination with the Martin County Public Works Department. The MPO is the primary agency for coordinating transportation planning activities effecting Martin County. A Policy Board composed of local elected officials directs activities of the MPO. Citizen and standing committee input is regularly solicited and obtained in the course of developing and carrying out MPO responsibilities. The following is a membership profile of the Policy Board and standing committees active in Martin MPO planning activities implemented through this UPWP.

2.1 Participants in the Transportation Planning Process

Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Board

The Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Board is a seven voting member Board responsible for establishing policies to guide MPO planning activities and projects. The following documents govern the characteristics of this Board: Title 23 USC 134(b), 23 CFR 450.306 and 311 (Federal) and Sec.339.175(2) FS (State). The make-up of the Board is as follows:

o Martin County: four Commissioners o City of Stuart: two Commissioners o Town of Sewall’s Point: one Commissioner o Non-voting representation from the Indiantown NAC

In November 2017, the citizens of Indiantown voted to incorporate, becoming the Village of Indiantown. The MPO Policy Board members have discussed changing the Indiantown Representative from a non-voting member to a voting member.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is not a voting member on the MPO Board and committees but serves in an advisory capacity.

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

The TAC is comprised of representatives of those agencies responsible for the planning and implementation of the transportation system within the Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA).

FTA Section 5305(d) funds are first apportioned to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and FDOT then distributes these planning funds to the MPO’s through a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) between the MPO and FDOT.

MPO Agreement for FHWA Planning (PL) Funds will be Executed before July 1, 2018

This agreement between the FDOT and the MPO provides for the administration of all “pass through” PL funds to the MPO. It identifies the responsibilities and outlines the requirements that must be met to receive these FHWA program funds, which will be effective July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2020. This UPWP is Exhibit “A” of the MPO Agreement. All FHWA funded planning agreements will be in the form of a single agreement going forward.

2.3 Operational Procedures and Bylaws

The Martin MPO operates under a duly adopted set of By-Laws and in conformance with all applicable Federal, State and local, laws, rules, regulations and procedures. With recommendations from its advisory committees, the MPO Policy Board approves operating By-Laws and any revisions to them. The By-Laws describe membership composition, voting status and procedures of the MPO Policy Board and

13


its advisory committees. These groups generally follow Roberts Rules of Order in the conduct of its meetings.

Martin County provides support services (legal, financial, purchasing, and others). The MPO staff positions consist of an MPO Administrator, a Senior Planner, a Planner, a Senior Associate Planner, an Administrative Assistant, and a part-time employee to provide financial support. Consultant services are purchased as needed and affordable within budget constraints.

The Official Records of the MPO are maintained in the MPO Administrative Office. In Spring 2018, the MPO office will be relocated to the Willoughby Commons Plaza at 3481 SE Willoughby Boulevard, Suite 101, Stuart, FL 34994. All of the MPO records are available for public inspection during normal business hours.

The Martin MPO’s operational procedures fully comply with the Public Records laws and the Sunshine Laws of the State of Florida. The MPO operates under applicable rules and procedures set forth by Martin County, the State of Florida, and the Federal Government.

2.4 Forms, Certifications and Assurances

Annually, the State and the MPO are required to certify to the FHWA and FTA that the planning process is addressing the major issues facing the Metropolitan Planning Area and that it is being conducted in accordance with all applicable requirements of:

ELEMENT 2: Public Involvement

Task 2.1 Public Involvement and Outreach

Purpose:

To ensure citizen participation in the transportation planning process. This involves presenting information to the citizens and soliciting input and using it to continually revise and refine proposed programs, plans and projects. These efforts include ensuring that population groups and geographic areas have opportunities to provide input on transportation planning and have access to and be involved in the MPO decision-making process.

Previous Work:

The MPO has worked to improve its public access to information through several avenues. The MPO website continues to include an interactive calendar, regular links to MPO surveys, and opportunities for public suggestions.

The Interactive TIP web-application is used as a means of allowing users to download current and past TIP documents, search for projects on a map, and customize project reports. This consisted of an improved mapping system for ease of use by the public. Because it utilizes the FDOT Central Office project database, real-time information is readily-available. In addition, comment sheets were made available at all local libraries and the County Administration Building during the TIP comment period.

The public involvement and outreach conducted during the development of the 2040 LRTP set the stage for the public involvement for future planning studies, such as the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Master Plan and FEC Rail Grade Separation Feasibility Study. As part of the LRTP outreach, consultants and staff established and maintained a project website, as well as a Facebook page “Moving Martin Forward”. Instead of workshops, consultants and staff held Open Houses where attendees could provide input by participating in various activities whether they stayed 10 minutes or for the full duration of the event. For example, Open House attendees were given Martin Mobility Bucks to “spend” on transportation projects that they wished to see funded. At the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Master Plan Open House, the public utilized StreetMix software which allowed individuals to virtually implement improvements on existing streets. They also recommended transportation improvements by using an interactive GIS mapping station. All input was recorded and included in the public involvement section of the respective studies.

Staff reviewed and updated the Public Involvement Plan (PIP) as well as annually reviewed the Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan to ensure Federal compliance. The MPO Policy Board approved the updates as well as the 2016 and 2017 PIP Annual Reports.

In 2017, the MPO conducted a new outreach initiative and held two Safety Campaigns to target diverse groups of individuals and promote safe walking and bicycling on busy roadway corridors. In February, a safety campaign was held at SE Indian Street and Dixie Highway in the Golden Gate Community

24


Redevelopment Area. In December a second campaign was held at Post Family Park adjacent to Warfield Blvd. in Indiantown, FL. Both areas consist of Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations and were selected for this reason. Representatives from South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) also attended to promote safe walking and bicycling and the Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow message. Bags containing informational materials in both English and Spanish were distributed during a two hour timeframe for both campaigns. Overall, 48 individuals received safety bags at the Golden Gate campaign and 75 bags were distributed at the Indiantown campaign.

ELEMENT 7: Special Project Planning

Task 7.1 Regional Transportation Planning and Coordination

Purpose:

To support a regional transportation planning process while considering both local and regional transportation needs and ensuring multi-jurisdictional coordination for the Treasure Coast urbanized area.

Previous Work:

The Martin MPO partnered with the St. Lucie TPO, the Florida Inland Navigation District and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to develop the Martin/St. Lucie Regional Waterways Plan. This MPO Plan was the second in the State and the first regional one. The Waterways Plan was approved by the Martin MPO and St. Lucie Policy Boards in the Fall of 2014.

Staff attended the Treasure Coast Transit Meetings (TCTMs), as well as participated in the validation process of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Model (TCRPM). Other meetings attended include Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, Southeast Florida Freight Advisory Committee, FDOT-District IV Annual MPO Best Practices, St. Lucie TPO Board/Advisory Committees and Palm Beach MPO BPAC. Staff also attended Southeast Florida Transportation Council (SEFTC) and Regional Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (RTTAC) meetings to learn more about regional coordination.

Martin MPO was the Lead MPO in the development of the 2040 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP) which also included a Freight Element. To develop the 2040 RLRTP, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Martin MPO, St Lucie TPO and Indian River MPO was signed on February 3, 2016. The TCTC adopted the 2040 RLRTP on June 29, 2017. Many meetings took place and significant work was completed:

• Seven meetings of the Regional Plan Management Team (RPMT) on May 13, 2016(teleconference), July 28, 2016 (teleconference), September 29, 2016, October 19, 2016,November 9, 2016, December 20, 2016; March 31, 2017;

• Four meetings of the Treasure Coast Technical Advisory Committee (TCTAC) on November 5,2015; July 6, 2016; February 17, 2017; May 4, 2017; and

• One Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC) meeting on August 9, 2016.

Task 7.2 US 1 Corridor Retrofit Project

Purpose:

To provide for connectivity and increased mobility options by providing multimodal transportation facilities including sidewalks, bicycle paths and lanes, and transit infrastructure. US 1 serves as the primary north-south arterial for the coastal communities of Martin and St. Lucie Counties since Interstate 95 shifts inland north of the Palm Beach County line. Balancing local/community multimodal objectives with the need to support longer-distance trip-making that occurs along the corridor is a critical component of this retrofit project.

Previous Work:

US 1 Multimodal Corridor Study, Phase I. The Martin MPO has worked with FDOT to identify and manage congestion in a section of U.S. 1 that extends from Martin County into St. Lucie County. This study explores the full range of remaining techniques including investments that encourage the use of non-auto modes and Transportation Demand Management (TDM).


At the June 29, 2017 TCTC meeting, the council members approved the 2040 RLRTP. In addition, the representatives from Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties provided a motion directing staff to devise a plan in order to make the US 1 Corridor Retrofit Project a regional study.

Task 7.3 Freight and Intermodal Planning

Purpose:

The safe and efficient movement of freight via various transportation modes, including trucking, rail, air, and even waterborne, will impact Martin County. Additionally, during the 2017 Joint FHWA/FTA Federal Certification Review, a recommendation was for MPO further engagement with freight providers and partners by attending freight stakeholder meetings to educate the transportation partners on the MPO’s public participation and transportation planning processes. Finally, the statewide Freight Mobility and Trade Plan is considered as the Martin MPO plans for future transportation investments.

Previous Work:

Martin MPO conducted an evaluation of roadway grade separation options over the FEC Railroad corridor to address impacts from expanded rail freight and inter-city passenger rail trains. The FEC Railroad Grade Separation Feasibility Study approved by the MPO Policy Board on June 19, 2017 provided conceptual grade separation improvements for two vehicle and two pedestrian/bicycle crossings with their feasibility determinations.

The 2040 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP) was developed that combines the ideas from the local plans for Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties to create one long term transportation plan for the future. The RLRTP has a 25-year planning horizon, with Federal and State funding directed towards regional projects that have been prioritized by the regional agencies and public. The 2040 RLRTP consisted of a Freight Element section which summarizes existing freight policies, objectives, and visions; identifies freight and logistics network elements; identifies freight needs and priorities; and presents a summary of the freight system.


• Continue contact with neighboring MPOs, including participation with the South East FloridaTransportation Council (SEFTC) and the Regional Transportation Technical Advisory Committee(RTTAC).

• Continue MPO participation in implementation of the Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) and inplanning and implementation efforts for the FDOT 2045 Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Plan.The SIS Multimodal Unfunded Needs Plan (MMUNP) identifies capacity projects needed on theSIS, Florida’s statewide network of high priority transportation facilities including airports,highways, railroads, seaports, spaceports, and transit.

Task 7.4 Mobility Fee Study

Purpose:

Strengthen land use and development to support a multimodal transportation system.

Previous Work:

The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) contains the Martin 2040 Cost Feasible Plan (CFP), a multimodal plan that utilizes funding sources traditionally designated only for roadway improvements to fund projects including roadway needs, public transit, and non-motorized transportation projects identified in the Needs Plan. This “flexing” of roadway funding for use on multimodal transportation needs is in addition to the funding that is dedicated for Transit and grant programs such as the Transportation Alternatives Program. In addition, the MPO developed the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Master Plan adopted by the MPO Policy Board in December 2017. This comprehensive Master Plan addresses gaps in the non-motorized network and recommends a list of facility enhancements.


A mobility fee study will assess the prospect of Martin County adopting a Mobility Fee which could potentially replace existing Roadway Impact Fees and Transportation Concurrency requirements. Implementation of a Mobility Fee would implement a comprehensive mobility approach that converts the existing roadway based fees to an alternative multimodal mobility funding system that includes other mode share capacities, including sidewalks, bike lanes, shared use pathways and transit ridership. Working with Martin County Staff during the selection of the consultant, participation and review of the finalized study is a key component of this task.

Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 2017 Noteworthy Practices

The following highlights summarize some of Martin MPO’s Noteworthy Practices:

Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Master Plan In October 2016, the Martin MPO began the introductory stages of developing a countywide Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Master Plan. A Project Steering Committee was developed to help guide throughout the development and included representatives from Martin County Parks and Recreation Department, Ecosystem Restoration & Management Division, MPO Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Two Open Houses were held to attain citizen input and a survey was also developed to gain comments. The Plan serves to integrate bicycle and pedestrian facilities into a comprehensive, sustainable transportation system for Martin County and will guide and be referred to for future transportation projects.

2040 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP) The 2040 Treasure Coast Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP) creates a regional overlay and combines the regional projects from the local transportation plans for Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties to create an integrated long term transportation plan for the regional transportation network. The RLRTP has a 25-year planning horizon, providing guidance for federal and state regional funding towards projects valued by the Treasure Coast region. The RLRTP provides a focus for regional planning and decision-making, gives residents more options for how to move around, advances public transportation, and makes the pedestrian and bicycle experience safer. The Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC) was established by the Martin MPO, the St. Lucie TPO, and the Indian River County MPO to formally coordinate transportation planning activities in the region. The TCTC serves as the Executive Board to all three (3) M/TPOs on regional transportation planning issues and provides the mechanism to jointly pursue state funding opportunities. The TCTC provided final review and served as the adopting entity for the 2040 RLRTP. The Martin MPO was the lead agency for the development of the 2040 RLRTP.

FEC Grade Separation Feasibility Study In June 2017, the MPO Policy Board approved the FEC Grade Separation Feasibility Study. The FEC rail corridor runs north-south in Martin County, generally adjacent to Dixie Highway, with many crossings adjacent to signalized intersections. With anticipated increased rail activity along this corridor, impacts to the operation of both vehicles and trains at the at-grade crossings could potentially create safety issues. The study examined and presented conceptual grade separation improvements and feasibility for two vehicle and two pedestrian crossings. The existing rail crossings were assessed, and the consultant and staff met twice with the Stakeholder Advisory Team to prioritize which crossings to study further. Recommendations were presented and feedback was received from the CRA Board, the Stuart/Martin County Chamber of Commerce Local Government Transportation Committee, and the Stuart City Commission, as well as at the public Open House held on February 28, 2017.

Community Characteristics Report Update 2017 The Martin MPO was one of the first MPOs in the state to use the newest census data available. The MPO prepared an update to the 2012 Community Characteristics Report using the 2015 five-year American Community Survey (ACS) data. The Community Characteristics Report Update will provide a resource to other agencies such as the Martin County Growth Management Department and the County’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The information collected in this report supplements the information in the Public Involvement Plan (PIP) and includes data on minority, age, poverty, mobility, and Limited English Proficiency. Safety Campaigns The Martin MPO partnered with South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS) and held two safety campaigns in Community Redevelopment Areas (CRA's) during 2017. The first was at the intersection of Dixie Highway and Indian Street in Stuart, FL on March 24th. The second was on December 15th at Post Family Park adjacent to Warfield Blvd. in Indiantown. The purpose of the Safety Campaigns were to alert vehicle drivers of the high pedestrian and biking activity occurring within these specific locations. Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow signs were placed throughout the roadway corridors and in addition, MPO staff distributed informational material to walkers and bicyclists in both English and Spanish during a two-hour timeframe. Bike-to-School Day The Martin MPO participated in the Annual National Bike to School Day. On May 10th and May 11th, staff members met with staff from Palm City Elementary and JD Parker Elementary Schools respectively to promote safe biking. The MPO gave out backpacks filled with Bike2School coloring books, informational items, pencils, reflective wristbands, keychains and a few other items (provided by Florida's Pedestrian and Bicycling Safety Resource Center) that reinforced the message of how to bike to school safely. Walk-to-School Day The Martin MPO participated in the Annual National Walk to School Day. On October 4th and October 6th, 2017 staff members met with staff from J.D. Parker Elementary and Pinewood Elementary schools respectively to promote safe walking. The MPO gave out backpacks filled with coloring books, informational items, pencils, reflective wristbands, flashers, bandanas, keychains and a few other items (provided by Florida’s Pedestrian and Bicycling Safety Resource Center) that all reinforced the message of how to walk to school safely. Interactive TIP The Interactive TIP tool created by Data Transfer Solutions (DTS) contains current project information, obtained from the FDOT Work Program database, and displays this information in a user-friendly format. It can generate customizable reports with project-specific data, maps, and financial summaries. Additionally, it can be used to create the Martin MPO’s annual update to the Transportation

Improvement Program (TIP). Lastly, because it is web-based, the public has access to this information through a link provided on the Martin MPO website. Website/Google Translate The Martin MPO website www.martinmpo.com utilizes Google Translating services. Visitors can have the website translated in over 100 different languages. This helps the MPO reach citizens that would otherwise be ignored because of their lack of ability to read English.
