Tri‐County Vision Map Results from Its Time Survey

Next Steps: What can be funded? What’s needed most? • One regional model for travel demand ‐ shows effects on all counties • Forecast future traffic • Test effect of transportation projects in the Tri‐County Vision • Each MPO estimates costs and available revenues • Determining cost‐feasibility: • Some Vision projects are part of FDOT’s Strategic Intermodal System • Some projects will require local funds or even interlocal agreements • Second phase of outreach, by each MPO, to gain feedback on priorities • Dialogue at TMA about funding available for Tri‐County Vision • Each MPO adopts cost‐feasible plan

Tri‐County Plan Element: Ingredients • Corridors of Regional Significance • Moving Transit Forward • Vulnerability Assessment • Technology and Automation • Environmental Consultation • Other Considerations?
