Project Overview and Goals 9

10 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.

11 Project Collaboration Project Sharepoint under development 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)

12 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:

Managed Lanes Discussion 13

14 Issues to Consider Policy Finance Design Technology Operations Enforcement Supporting Strategies Institutional Aspects Public Acceptance

15 District Discussion Purpose – To learn from you – What are your experiences and “lessons learned” with managed lanes? – What do you want to get out of this project? – What do you want us to evaluate? – How can we develop a unified statewide system? – What can central office do to help Districts/Turnpike with their managed lanes projects?

16 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 price pre-existing HOV lanes, carpool requirements, etc. Technology Evolution: – All Electronic Tolling conversion – National interoperability – Enforcement options Potential Discussion Topics

17 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
