Florida Model Task Force the Teamwork Approach A

Florida Model Task Force ……. the Teamwork Approach A Presentation to the MPOAC By Dennis Hooker Model Task Force Tri-Chair

Florida had 15 Urban Areas in 1980 MPO Planning • 15 Urban plans Supported by: 15 Urban models …All Models Different

25 Urban Areas in 1990 MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans Supported by: 25 Urban models …Florida Standard Model

7 New-Urban Areas have Models MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans • 7 New-Urban plans Supported by: 25 Urban models 7 New-Urban models

Models are Joined to Support Regional Planning MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans • 7 New-Urban plans North Central • Regional Planning Tampa Bay Supported by: 25 Urban models 7 New-Urban models 6 Regional models Orlando 3 Treasure Coast Southwest Southeast

MPOs MODEL FLEXIBILITY AND………. . The structure of the Florida Standard Model provides the flexibility for each MPO to customize for their respective area and particular application

Florida also has a Statewide Model MPO Planning • 25 Urban plans • 7 New-Urban plans • Regional Planning • Statewide Planning Supported by: 25 urban models 7 New-Urban models 6 Regional models 1 Statewide model

Uses of the Florida Standard Model n n n n Model Validation MPO Plan Updates Interstate Master Plans FIHS Action Plans PD&E Studies Final Design Studies Interchange Justification Reports n n n Comprehensive Plans DRIs Concurrency Applications Campus Master Plans Toll Feasibility Studies Congestion Management Systems
