Florida Model Task Force Committee Restructuring Model Task Force Meeting December 2006

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 1 Recommended Restructuring of Model Task Force Committees To pursue task force goals and objectives Recommendations based on: Understanding of activities of existing committees FSUTMS User Satisfaction Survey Review of future trends in transportation planning Introduction

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 2 Proposed Committees Four Committees Data Committee GIS Committee Transit Committee Model Advancement Committee

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 3 Data Committee Responsibilities Assessing transportation modeling data needs Transportation/land use interaction Data for all modes and areas of transportation modeling

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 4 GIS Committee Responsibilities Improvements/enhancements to GIS procedures related to transportation modeling Development of new GIS-related tools

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 5 Transit Committee Responsibilities Addressing issues related to transit modeling using Cube Voyager Public Transport (PT) Addressing issues related to applications for FTA’s New Starts/Small Starts projects

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 6 Model Advancement Committee Responsibilities Assessing state-of-the-art transportation modeling applications to be adopted by the Florida standard model

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 8 Proposed Committee Operations Committee Chairs Chairs/co-chairs should be drawn from MTF voting member agencies by the tri-chairs Proposed Committee Chairs Data: Gary Kramer, WFRPC GIS: Lina Kulikowski, Broward MPO Transit: Larry Foutz, Miami-Dade MPO Model Advancement: Mike Neidhart, Volusia MPO

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 9 Proposed Committee Operations Tri-Chair Oversight MTF tri-chairs will provide overall guidance and work closely with the MTF committee chairs to facilitate effective operation of the committees Staff Coordinator Systems Planning Office modeling staff will serve as MTF committee staff coordinator and work closely with committee chairs and MTF tri-chairs to provide feedback to the MTF on a regular basis

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 10 Proposed Committee Operations Technical Subcommittees Tri-chairs and MTF leadership will create technical subcommittees under the MTF committees to address specific technical issues and provide recommendations Subcommittees will sunset after completing their tasks

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 11 Proposed Committee Operations Review of Committee Structure MTF tri-chairs will review the committee structure biennially to determine the need to sunset committees or to create new committees

2006 FSUTMS/Cube Voyager Model Support Survey 12 Proposed Committee Operations MTF Working Group as Advisory Panel The MTF working group will provide technical oversight and guidance to the MTF tri-chairs and committee chairs to ensure that the Florida standard model incorporates emerging tools and techniques to meet Florida transportation planning needs
