  3. Introductions • FDOT Systems Planning Office • Jennifer Fortunas • H. Walker • Kimley-Horn • Richard Barr • Derek Toups • Artie White • Atkins • Michael Davis

  4. Project Overview and Goals 4

  5. 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.

  6. Phase 1 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

  7. Phase 1 Approach • Format – Framework for coordinated decision-making and development • Understand Goals, Priorities, Concerns • Determine Minimum Requirements • Find Common Needs • Acknowledge Complexity • Commit to Coordination • Define Terminology • Clarify Roles, Responsibilities

  8. Project Collaboration Project Sharepointwill be developed FDOT Systems Planning Office and consultants District/Turnpike Enterprise Champions SE Florida Regional Concept for Transportation Operations (RCTO) Coordination Managed Lanes Review Team (MLRT) Regional Expressway Authorities Other Stakeholders (e.g., FHWA)

  9. Phase 1 Deliverables Policy statement for managed lanes in Florida Managed lanes inventory with recommendations for corridors or systems that may be candidates for further study Statewide action plan to guide implementation of managed lanes

  10. Managed Lanes Overview 10

  11. 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:

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

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

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

  15. Key Messages State of Georgia CHOICE RELIABILITY MOBILITY EASY GO!

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

  17. Miami, Florida Example

  18. Range of Facility Designs

  19. Potential Discussion Topics • Roadway Design Features: • Lane/Shoulder/Buffer in constrained urban areas • Enforcement standards and features • Consistency: • Statewide vs. Regional approaches • Access and Ingress/Egress Schemes • Passenger Occupancy Requirements • 24/7 Operations

  20. Potential Discussion Topics • Financial Structure: • Regional Enterprise vs. Stand-alone Project/Corridor • Revenue Scenarios (Manage Demand, Generate Revenue) • Construction Cost and Project Delivery Models • Economy and Market Conditions • Public Outreach and Legislative Agenda • Technology Evolution: • All Electronic Tolling conversion • National interoperability • Enforcement options

  21. Questions & Answers 21

  22. District 2 Discussion/Future Projects 22

  23. 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 with their managed lanes projects?

  24. FDOT District Two

  25. Next Steps 25

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