3. Project Overview and Goals 3

4. Project Overview Three Phases of Project • Phase I – Policy and Action Plan • Phase II – Procedures and Standards • Phase III – Tolling and Return on Investment Project Purpose: It is the intent of the Department to develop a policy and related procedures requiring consideration of Managed Lanes as a part of all added capacity improvement projects on highways. The planning and development process should be conducted so as to not preclude the future implementation of Managed Lanes within the corridor.

5. Phase I Goals Phase I – Policy and Action Plan Department policy will be developed to guide the identification, prioritization, planning, development, implementation and operations of managed lanes. The policy development process will be followed by an Action Plan for Managed Lanes

6. Managed Lanes Overview 6

7. FDOT Definition: Managed Lanes “Highway facilities or sets of lanes within an existing highway facility where operational strategies are proactively implemented and managed in response to changing conditions with a combination of tools.” FDOT Definition:

8. Why Managed Lanes? Limited revenues for capacity expansion = + + Increasing Congestion Limited ROW Managed Lanes

9. Policy Objectives MANAGE DEMAND Reduce congestion, promote environmental goals, improve cost of doing business GENERATE REVENUE Pay for capital, operations and maintenance costs

10. Potential Benefits Choice… a new transportation option Commuting Insurance… travel time reliability New revenue stream Provides enhanced transit advantage

11. Key Messages Peach Pass for I-85 and GA-400 in Georgia CHOICE RELIABILITY MOBILITY EASY GO!

12. Issues to Consider Policy Finance Design Technology Operations Enforcement Supporting Strategies Institutional Aspects Public Acceptance

14. Potential Discussion Topics • Consistency: • Statewide vs. Regional approaches • Access Schemes • Passenger Occupancy Requirements • Operational Hours • Roadway Design Features: • Traffic Separation • Access Points • Number of lanes • Safety • Enforcement Areas

15. Potential Discussion Topics • Financial Structure: • Feasibility: Regional vs. Project/Corridor • Revenue Scenarios (Manage Demand, Generate Revenue) • Construction Cost and Project Delivery Models • Economy and Market Conditions • Public Outreach and Legislative Agenda • Public opinion on tolls and road pricing • Enabling legislation, authorization to pricepre-existing HOV lanes, carpool requirements, etc. • Technology Evolution: • All Electronic Tolling conversion • National interoperability • Enforcement options

27. District Discussion • Purpose – To learn from you • What are your experiences and “lessons learned” with managed lanes? • What do you want to get out of this project? • What do you want us to evaluate? • How can we develop a unified statewide system? • What can central office do to help Districts/Turnpike with their managed lanes projects?

28. Next Steps 28

29. Next Steps Additional FDOT District visits Review State and National practices Assess current and future projects in Florida Develop policy statement and action plan
