Agenda Welcome and introductions District visit summaries Project overview and goals District Seven briefing Discussion Next steps Adjourn
District 3 • One major limited access facility: I-10 • Pensacola Bay Bridge Replacement • Congestion problem is US-98, an arterial
District 2 • I-295 will have price managed lanes • Increased typical section from one to two additional lanes in each direction • Bottlenecks with peak hour congestion exists today but trying to be proactive for future congestion • Consideration of truck connections to ports
Turnpike Enterprise • Integrated Congestion Pricing Plan • Veteran’s Expressway • HEFT • Two Tier Toll System
District 5 • I-4 Ultimate with barrier separated Express lanes • Studying segments north and south of the Ultimate • Looking at Concessionaire agreement with payback through availability payments
District 6 • Existing I-95 Express (Federal Funded) • Current use of ramp metering • Lessons Learned • Funding public outreach, technical support, and maintenance • Bus Rapid Transit • Cross-Jurisdictional Coordination • Law-enforcement • Toll maximums and minimums
District 4 • Miami Express Lanes extend north to Oakland Park Boulevard (under construction) • PD&E looking N. to Boca Raton • Reevaluation to add HOT express lanes to S. of Linton • I-75 Express Lanes • I-595 Reversible Lanes allowing trucks • Developing Version 2.0 of SunGuide software plug-in
District 1 • Situated between District 5 and District 7 • Interstate Planning forI-4 and I-75 • Identifies capacity needs • Determines when widening will be needed • Considers managed lanes • Considers feasibility of replacing bridge structures • Consideration of Dynamic Shoulder Lanes
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.

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:
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
