Long Range Transportation Plan • Long-term vision for the transportation system • Multimodal transportation improvements • 25 Year Horizon (2040) • Updated every 5 years • Fiscally constrained • Addresses regional planning requirement • Federal requirement • Adopted by MPO’s Governing Board
LRTP Development Process Establish Policy, Goals and Objectives Develop Land Use Vision and Forecast Socio-Economic Data Identify Transportation Needs Assess Transportation Alternatives Perform Financial Analysis Develop Cost Feasible Plan MPO Adopt the Plan
Needs Plan • Maintain satisfactory level of service • Acceptable mobility conditions • Assumes existing + committed (E+C) improvements • Fiscally unconstrained • Guides Cost Feasible Plan (fiscally constrained)
The Need for a Needs Plan 2040 LRTP Population Employment 138,028 65,244 2010 202,295 90,968 2040 47% 39% 30-year growth – Increase of population by over 64,000 – 2040 population forecast is 6,700 less than the 2035 LRTP. – 2040 projections show that population growth outpaces employment growth.
2040 E+C Roadway Network • Existing roadway network and improvements programmed for construction in the next five years. • “Committed” Roadway Improvements: – I-95: 4L to 6L within Indian River County. – US 1: 4L to 6L between St. Lucie County Line and Oslo Road. – 66 Avenue: 2L to 4L between SR 60 and 49 Street. – 37 Street: 2L to 4L between US 1 and Indian River Boulevard.
2040 E+C Roadway Network • Potentially Deficient Corridors: – US 1 – Barber Street – SR A1A – Schuman Drive – CR 512 – Wabasso Causeway – CR 510 – Indian River – 66 th Avenue Blvd – 58 th Avenue – Aviation Blvd – 43 rd Avenue – SR 60 at I-95 – 27 th Avenue – 8 Street at US 1 – Roseland Road 2040 Roadway Deficiencies
“Initial” Needs Plan • Preliminary projects to address deficiencies • Developed using two strategies : – Increase capacity of deficient corridors – Increase capacity of parallel corridors and/or improve connectivity of grid road network • Consistency with the 2035 Cost Feasible Plan • Some deficiencies remain (Constraints ) • Current Snapshot - Initial Needs Plan will be refined
2040 Initial Needs Plan • Improve deficient corridors: 10 projects • Improve grid connectivity/parallel corridors: 5 projects

Next Steps – Needs Plan • Refine Needs Plan – April • Alternatives Analysis – April and May • Intersection improvements • Technology based solutions such as Transportation System Management and Operation (TSM&O) • Transit • Bicycle and pedestrian facilities • Public Workshops – Mid May
Next Steps – Cost Feasible Plan • Cost Feasible Plan Development – May thru September – Fiscal Constraints (Fewer Projects than Needs Plan) • 2035 Long Range Plan Funding – Highway Needs Plan - $975 million – Final Highway Cost Feasible Plan - $545 million • $141 million in SIS funds • $96 million in other State funds • $85 million local option sales tax of $308 million total county funds • Final Needs Plan and “Initial” Cost Feasible Plan to MPO Board and Committees - June
