Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)

MAP-21

• Data driven strategic approach
• Lump sum funding vs. individual authorizations
• Road user defined
• Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP)
• 5% reports

Strategic Highway Safety Plan

Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs)

• Vision, Mission and Goals
• Transportation safety needs
• Safety Strategies
• Performance Measures
• Development, Implementation and Update

Florida SHSP Emphasis Areas

• Aggressive Driving
• At Risk

– Teen Drivers – Aging Road Users

• Distracted Driving
• Impaired Driving
• Intersection Crashes
• Lane Departure Crashes
• Traffic Data
• Vulnerable Road Users

– Bicyclists and Pedestrians – Motorcyclists

Application Process

Introducing

Requirements and Restrictions

Data-driven and evidence based forecasted safety improvements Projects intended to address:

• Beautification
• Drainage
• Bridge needs
• Capacity enhancement
• Economic development
• Railroad quiet zone
• Maintenance (Annual)

HSIP Basic Process

Project Identification Preliminary Analysis HSIP Funding Request Project Evaluation Programming Delivery

Project Identification

Key elements:

• 1. How was the issue identified?
• 2. Is the project focused primarily on “spot

location(s)” or “systemic” improvements?

• 3. Limited to 5000 characters
• Jurisdiction-wide safety analysis
• Corridor Safety Analysis/Road Safety Assessment
• Spot-Location Safety Analysis/Road Safety Assessment
• Community or Regional Planning Process
• Stakeholder, Community or Outside Specialists
• Other Transportation Stakeholders

Existing Conditions

Key elements:

• Roadway Type
• Shoulder Type
• Shoulder Grade
• Traffic Data
• Limitations and Constraints

Preliminary Safety Analysis

• 5-Years Crash Data (2010 – 2014)
• Prior attempts to address the Safety Issue
• Countermeasure Selection
• Proposed Improvement/Concept Description
• Potential for Proposed Improvements to Address

the Safety Issue

Local Agency Safety Team

Responsibilities and Duties

• Assistance
• Preliminary Application Review
• Application Completion
• Recommendations for funding

considerations

• Coordinate with non-funded

project applicants for one (1) year for consideration in the next year cycle. Lake Mary Office Julio Alegre, P.E., PTOE (407) 644-1898 julio.alegre@metriceng.com Jacksonville Office Holly Walker, P.E., CPM (904) 260-1567 holly.walker@metriceng.com

The LAST does not replace an agency’s existing engineering staff

• r consultant on contract.

Application Completion

• Qualitative assessment/field review
• Constructability/feasibility review
• Update or provide improvement concept
• Calculate improvement cost estimate using FDOT

construction costs.

• Develop project scope
• Develop economic analysis (benefit/cost and net

present value)

Project Programming and Delivery

Programming

The Work Program includes all proposed project commitments classified by major program and appropriation category.

• Planning
• Project Development and Environment (PD&E)
• Design
• Right-of-Way Acquisition
• Construction

Delivery Method

The Local Agency Program (LAP) is the Department's primary delivery mechanism for

• ff-system

projects included in the Five-Year Adopted Work Program, as

• pposed to the Florida Department of Transportation (the

Department) administering the off-system project. Program Management Bulletin 15-03
