Managed Lanes Development StrategyPhase I District One October 30, 2012
Agenda Welcome and introductions Project overview and goals Managed lanes overview Discussion Next steps Adjourn
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.
Project Collaboration 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)
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:
Why Managed Lanes? Limited revenues for capacity expansion = + + Increasing Congestion Limited ROW Managed Lanes
Issues to Consider Policy Finance Design Technology Operations Enforcement Supporting Strategies Institutional Aspects Public Acceptance
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
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
