Florida Model Task Force …….the Teamwork Approach A Presentation to the MPOAC By Dennis Hooker Model Task Force Tri-Chair
Florida had 15 Urban Areas in 1980 • MPO Planning • 15 Urban plans Supported by: 15 Urban models …All Models Different
25 Urban Areas in 1990 • MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans Supported by: 25 Urban models …Florida Standard Model
7 New-Urban Areas have Models • MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans • 7 New-Urban plans Supported by: 25 Urban models 7 New-Urban models
Models are Joined to Support Regional Planning Orlando 3 Treasure Coast Tampa Bay Southwest Southeast • MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans • 7 New-Urban plans • Regional Planning North Central Supported by: 25 Urban models 7 New-Urban models 6 Regional models
MPOs MODEL FLEXIBILITY AND……….. The structure of the Florida Standard Model provides the flexibility for each MPO to customize for their respective area and particular application
Florida also has a Statewide Model • MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans • 7 New-Urban plans • Regional Planning • Statewide Planning Supported by: 25 urban models 7 New-Urban models 6 Regional models 1 Statewide model
Model Validation MPO Plan Updates Interstate Master Plans FIHS Action Plans PD&E Studies Final Design Studies Interchange Justification Reports Comprehensive Plans DRIs Concurrency Applications Campus Master Plans Toll Feasibility Studies Congestion Management Systems Uses of the Florida Standard Model
WHO SUPPORTS ALL THESE MODELS? 7 New-Urban models 25 urban models 6 Regionalmodels 1 Statewide model FLORIDA MODEL TASK FORCE AND … MPOs are active members !!
Florida Model Task Force • Mission – To advance model development and applications to serve the transportation planning needs of the Department and local governments. • Operates in a responsive, consistent, and credible manner to establish standardized and uniform modeling practices.
