and then sent to the MPOs, right now FDOT is doing constructability reviews for applications received for
the upcoming cycle. The next draft tentative work program should come out in November.
B. MPO Executive Director
None.
7.Committee Action
7.A. Endorse FY 21-22 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Amendment 4
Ms. Otero: Presented Executive Summary in the Agenda Packet.
Ms. Homiak moved to endorse FY 21-22 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Amendment 4.
Ms. Szymanski seconded. Passed unanimously.
7.B. Endorse New Transit Priority
Ms. McLaughlin: Presented the Executive Summary. We have $5 million in our SU box and we
don’t like to leave money on the table. This project has a history as it was initially funded as building rehab
project in the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and in the Transportation Improvement Plan
(TIP). But after a deeper analysis and changes to the building code it made more sense to redevelop the
entire building. We are bringing this item to the board on a technicality, since the funding being transferred
is $3 million we want to be transparent and take it through the committee process and to the Board for
approval. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has endorsed the project. The next step if you agree
with adding the project to the transit priority list is to endorse the TIP amendment.
Mr. Gelfand: What does SU stand for?
Ms. McLaughlin: SU is a federal funding category, it is the Surface Transportation Block Grant
Program - Urban, its funding provided to MPO areas with a population of 200,000 or more. The MPO
receives certain allocations to program more assertively through our project priority process.
Ms. Homiak moved to endorse New Transit Priority. Mr. Sasser seconded. Passed unanimously.
7.C. Endorse Amendment 4 to the FY 2022–2026 TIP & Authorizing Resolution
Mr. Philips: Presented Executive Summary. Follows up 7.B. This item includes the draft
resolution, signature page, the TIP page that shows the transfer, and FDOT letter requesting the action. This
amendment was endorsed by the TAC.
Ms. Szymanski moved to endorse Amendment 4 to the FY 2022–2026 TIP & Authorizing
Resolution. Mr. Hart seconded. Passed unanimously.
7.D. Review & Endorse Scope for 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Base Year
Data Development
Ms. McLaughlin: Presented Executive Summary. The timeline for updating the LRTP occurs
every 5 years, it is driven by FDOT’s process of developing a regional planning model. FDOT asked us to
submit base year data by the beginning of June, we’ve been in communication with FDOT about the
submittal date since we’re using the Collier Interactive Growth model (CIGM). The County is updating and
calibrating the model to the 2020 census. We anticipate that the CIGM update will be done by June, and
that the earliest we can provide the data to FDOT is July. The TAC voted to endorse this item. The hope is
to use our general planning contract so we can begin data collection immediately. There’s a GIS component,
and lots of data to gather from various agencies, like traffic counts. The details are in the attachment. The
last LRTP initial draft was prepared in house, and it had to be cleaned up a lot by the vendor.
Ms. Szymanski: Last time there was lots of debate about data and where it came from. It’s more
sensitive because Collier growth data is jumping, the past 18 months we had a large influx of new residents.
The last LRTP had a mechanism to recalculate for the planning horizon, will we start with 2020 data and
include a mechanism to account for growth rates?
Ms. McLaughlin: It’s all estimated, the base year simply sets the starting point. Backing it up to
2019 is as good as we’ll get. Then we use the Bureau of Economic Research and Business Research (BEBR)
projections, which is a credible source. It provides low, medium, and high population estimates. We use
the medium population estimate. You may be remembering that the CIGM projects to build out, so we have
a good sense of what to expect by using that, but we’re required to plan towards a reasonable population
projections provided by widely accepted experts and are required to stop at 2050. There’s some judgement
involved; we should have a consultant on board to do the analysis shortly.
Mr. Gelfand: Do we look backwards at how accurate the assessments were? A post analysis to see
if data is reliable and valid?
Ms. McLaughlin: Depends, who you mean by we? I would say every entity that does projections,
social economics, traffic, etc., they ask how close did we hit it? BEBR and the Census do. I did it for fun
looking at the 2010 Census data, BEBR medium projections, the CIGM, and the 2020 Census data, it
showed that the BEBR medium projection was very close. But who can predict what happened with
COVID? If you update every 5 years, it’s gives us a chance to recalibrate.
Mr. Gelfand: If you plan, plan often.
Mr. Sasser: Under the model features there are three airports, but it doesn’t include Immokalee. I
thought it was planned to expand for freight.
Ms. McLaughlin: Immokalee is one of the county airports, we will get data for all three county
airports, Immokalee, Everglades City, and Marco Island, and we’ll get data for the Naples airport. The
handout you’re referring to is from FDOT, we we’ll let them know to include Immokalee.
Ms. Homiak moved to endorse Scope for 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Base Year Data
Development. Ms. Szymanski seconded. Passed unanimously.
7.E. Review & Comment on Scope for 2050 LRTP
Ms. McLaughlin: Presented the Executive Summary. This is more complicated and far more
reaching than the scope. This item is for the development of the entire 2050 LRTP. We’re starting early
because we learned that it takes about a year to get through the county’s procurement process for a contract
this large, and getting through reviews from FDOT, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) and committees and the Board as well. We developed a draft scope of work
building on the 2045 LRTP scope and filling in gaps and things we didn’t get right last time, and we are
introducing language we anticipate will be included in the current federal transportation bill. It’s very
lengthy and detailed, last time we didn’t specify certain items and they did not get done, that’s how contract
scopes work with vendors. The TAC did endorse the item. We need data early in the process to develop the
model, describe needs to develop cost feasible estimates, while specifying that we want the vendor to use
as much of the existing plan as possible and not recreate everything—we paid a lot for the 2045 LRTP and
only certain things have changed since it was adopted. Vendors like to brand and start over with new charts
and graphics, some of those items do not need to change or be updated. There is also a number of public
meetings included in the scope, including regional meetings. The TAC and CAC drove the public
involvement process and we anticipate working with these committees to lead that process again. We’re
including time to meet with the tribes, and to hold six public outreach meetings. We’re not asking for your
endorsement at this time; you may want to spend time to review the scope and ask questions at the next
CAC meeting. The TAC provided comments and asked us to emphasize transit in the modeling phase,
which we will do. We will bring this item back to the February TAC and CAC meetings to begin the year-
long procurement process.
Mr. Gelfand: Is this sort of thing going to bid or using the former vendor?
Ms. McLaughlin: We must follow the county’s procurement requirements and use an open-ended
procurement process for federal grant money. We work closely with county procurement office, and we
also coordinate with county grants office to make sure we are meeting all the procurement requirements.
This projected costs is around $900,000, that cost is above the amount that could be considered to use an
expedited process. The base year data collection will use our general planning contract.
Mr. Gelfand: Does working on a prior plan give them a leg up for the next one?
Ms. Otero: Only on the basis that they could put together a better proposal. When you put out
request for professional services, each consultant will prepare and submit a proposal to the MPO, and the
selection committee will review it. Consultant proposals are evaluated by what is submitted, and not past
knowledge or experience. The scores are based on the evaluation, and references provided in the proposal.
If the consultant puts together a great team and has a good proposal it should help, if they don’t sell it in
the proposal, well then no, they must show you the work they are proposing to do.
Mr. DiDonna: When we hire the consultant will they tell us what they need, or we tell them? Is it
based on data?
Ms. Otero: The scope is us telling them you’re giving us this, everything is based on data and
modeling.
Ms. McLaughlin: As we move from a needs plan - driven by data on population where are we
growing, can roads and transit handle it, or is it weak and congested – however that’s not the only factor.
One must also focus on the cost feasible plan, take in project evaluation metrics, goals and objectives,
practical needs, and other things that are difficult to quantify like preservation of the environment,
enhancing connectivity, and promoting transportation travel options. Another factor is addressing public
comments and CAC and TAC comments. It’s often difficult to consider or add something to the plan that
we did not include with the initial scope. Some items in the plan did not come from technical staff or
consultant, rather they were included because of committees like the CAC and TAC. There’s an art to this
and collaboration is fundamental to the process. Funding costs are high and planning so far out is difficult,
and regulations guiding the process are huge. It’s true that the plan is data driven, and we’re evaluated on
that, but there’s still a human element, what do people want and value?
Mr. DiDonna mentioned his concern that the Railroad has not been purchased due to rising costs.
Additionally, he advocated for a bypass like the Sawgrass Expressway. Ms. McLaughlin discussed the
lack of funding and regulations that restrict planning efforts. Additionally, she discussed that planning for
matters of convenience often fall short of the mark when evaluating against other projects that address
larger issues such as system failures in congestion management and major safety issues. Mr. DiDonna
inquired about a sales tax increase or using impact fees from the Naples One Project. Ms. Homiak added
that these issues must go through the Planning Commission and that occasionally the BEBR numbers are
wrong such as in 2007/2008. Ms. McLaughlin clarified that this would be a County issue not an MPO
issue.
8.Reports and Presentation (May require Committee Action)
8.A. Draft Project Sheets FY23-27 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
Mr. Philips: Presented Executive Summary. This is the initial draft of the TIP project sheets; they
were developed using FDOTs draft tentative work program issued in November. We’re trying to get ahead
of the game and are asking you review them and share comments with Scott or Anne.
Ms. Szymanski: Where do we go to find more project details?
Mr. Philips: We try to include as much detail in the that in project descriptions. However, we are
limited to what we are provided by FDOT
Ms. Peters: The TIP is built using the tentative work program. It feeds from project priorities. I
can give more information from the application. If it’s programed for design and construction, we’ll tell
you, if they’ve already been designed, we have a better idea of what’s happening. The projects in the TIP
came through the committees, but we can dig for more information.
Mr. Sasser: Send queries through the MPO?
Ms. Peters: It’s good to copy the MPO, they should know too, because all projects come through
them.
Mr. Philips: Programming must be identical to the STIP as part of the federal review. In
programming you want to provide a broad spectrum in the project description, things often change so you
want leverage and leeway to adjust for changes that otherwise would slow down project delivery.
Mr. Gelfand: Did someone ask for the sidewalk project on Vanderbilt Drive? How does it get
started, approved by community? Part of deal with developer? Is there a history that would be useful?
Ms. Otero: The projects go through a prioritization process, bike-pedestrian projects go through
BPAC, and are usually submitted by the County and sometimes the cities. They’re evaluated and ranked
then provided to the advisory committees and MPO Board for additional evaluation prior to approval.
Once they are approved by the committees, the MPO Board and FDOT, they are then eligible to be
programmed in the TIP. The vetting process is very thorough.
9.Member Comments
Ms. Szymanski: Has there been planning for the US 41 and Davis triangle, the intersection is a
mess?
Ms. Otero: That’s a CRA issue not the MPO.
Ms. Lantz: They came in and it fell apart. If the project comes back it has to go through the
Planning Commission, then the Board of County Commissioners. There will be a traffic impact statement.
It involves the Planning Commission, Comprehensive Planning, and Zoning. If it’s approved by them, then
it’s in line with the LRTP. They’re allowed to bring the project back to the Commission and they have to
pay impact fees etc. If they’re vested they can do it, that’s why the county looks after it and make changes.
Ms. McLaughlin: It’s all restricted by laws.
Ms. Homiak: For 30 years it’s been redone, this is the best it’s ever worked.

What is Florida's Government-in-the-
Sunshine Law?
Enacted in 1967
Found in Chapter 286, Florida Statutes
Establishes a basic right of access to most
meetings of boards, commissions and other
governing bodies of state and local governmental
agencies or authorities
Sunshine Law
The Sunshine Law is “applicable to any gathering, whether
formal or casual, of two or members of the same board or
commission to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action
will be taken by the public board or commission.”
Hough v. Stembridge, 278 So. 2d 288 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973).
The Three Basic Requirements of the
Sunshine Law,
§ 286.011, Florida Statutes
Meetings of public boards, commissions or
committees (“boards”) must be open to the public.
Reasonable notice of such meetings must be
given.
Minutes of the meeting must be taken.

Meetings Must be Open
to the Public
The public must be allowed to attend meetings, and the
location:
Must be accessible
Sufficient size for turnout
Facility cannot discriminate based on age, race, etc.
Public access not unreasonably restricted
Be within Collier County with few exceptions
The public shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a
proposition before a board or commission. Board may establish
policies to maintain orderly conduct and decorum. May establish
time limits.
Reasonable notice of such meetings
must be given.
The public must be given reasonable and timely
notice so they can decide whether to attend. What
is “reasonable” or “timely” depends on the
circumstance. It does not necessarily require a
newspaper advertisement; contact the County
Attorney’s Office for guidance.
Minutes of the meeting are required. Written
minutes must be taken and made available promptly.
Sound recordings may also be used, but only in addition to written
minutes.

The Sunshine Law applies to all advisory boards
and all of the advisory board’s subcommittees.
The Sunshine Law applies when two or more
members of a board or subcommittee discuss a
matter that may foreseeably come before the board
or subcommittee.
Subcommittee Issues
A subcommittee is a subordinate
committee chosen from among the members of
a main committee to carry out special
assignments. All members of a subcommittee
must be members of the Advisory Board. All
subcommittees are Sunshine Committees, and
must adhere to all of the requirements of the
Sunshine Law.
Advisory Board Members
Must strictly adhere to all aspects of the Sunshine
Law.
No pre or post meeting discussions;
No private conversations on the dais;
Avoid texting on the dais;
May not use non-members as liaisons
between board members;
Avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Written Correspondence
A board member may send documents on matters
coming before the board for official action to other
board members, PROVIDED there are no responses
from, or interaction related to documents among, the
board members prior to the public meeting. The written
correspondence becomes a public record.
•Recommend use of staff liaison.
•Two way communication must be done in the Sunshine.
Inspection Trips
Members of an advisory board may conduct inspection trips
(limited basis).
All requirements of the Sunshine Law must be met, as
fact finding exemption does not apply to a board with
“ultimate decision-making authority.”See Finch v.
Seminole County School Board, 995 So. 2d 1068 (Fla.
5th DCA2008).
To avoid Sunshine issues, if you wish to conduct an
inspection, do so outside the company of a fellow board
member.

FAQs
Are two members of the same Advisory Board or Board of
County Commissioners allowed to attend the same social
event or civic function, like a Chamber of Commerce meeting?
Social events and other community events are of course
permissible. Advisory Board members must be aware not to
discuss any matter that may be discussed at their advisory
board meetings.
Does the Sunshine Law apply to a meeting between
one County Commissioner and a private citizen?
No, the Sunshine Law only applies to certain
discussions between two members of the same board.
Validity of Action Taken in Violation of The Sunshine
Law/Subsequent Corrective Action
Section 286.011, F.S., provides that no resolution, rule,
regulation or formal action shall be considered binding
except as taken or made at an open meeting.
Recognizing that the Sunshine Law should be construed so
as to frustrate all evasive devices, the courts have held that
action taken in violation of the law is void ab initio (from
the beginning).
Within limitations, some case law exists holding that
Sunshine Law violations can be cured by independent,
final action taken completely in the Sunshine.

law.
Punishable with a fine of up to $500 and/or up to 60 days imprisonment.
Other Penalties Include:
Removal from position.
Payment of attorney’s fees incurred by the challenging party, as well as

PENALTIES
A violation of the Public
Records Act carries both civil
and criminal penalties!
FAQs
1.How does someone make a public records
request?
A public records request may be as formal
as a written request or as informal as a
telephone call with everything in between.
2.Is the person making a public records request
required to fill out an application or some
other form?
No. The important thing is to find out what records are being
asked for, and to get a copy of those records to the requestor
within a reasonable time.
3. Who does this?
If the request is simple and can easily be handled by your
department, such as a copy of a permit that the requestor had
filed, then it should be handled then and there. Any substantial
requests should be forwarded to the Customer Relations
Division. Your supervisor should assist you in this.

Florida’s Public Records Laws
Broad Definition
Florida Supreme Court (1980)
“All materials made or received by a city in
connection with official business which are
used to perpetuate, communicate or formalize
knowledge.”
Social Media Activity is a
Public Record…
Regardless of the platform, if the
post/tweet/image or other material otherwise
meets the standards for a public record,
•It is a public record,
•It must be retained, and
•It must be producible for inspection or copying
if requested.

Social Media and Sunshine
Advisory board members must not engage on social
media in an exchange or discussion of any matter that
might foreseeably come before the board for action…
Period.
(To engage in such an exchange is to violate the Sunshine Law.)
The courts frown upon any communication activity
between board members that appears to be an attempt to
evade Sunshine Requirements.
The Comment Trap
Advisory board members must be wary of
commenting on any social media platform about
matters that foreseeably may come before the
board for action.
(The danger arises from the potential for two or more board
members to exchange comments, intentionally or inadvertently.)
FAQs
Should I ever use my personal Social Media for County
Business?
Never. There is a reason that the County gives you an email
account. Use your County email or use the telephone. And
never use your personal computer for County business unless
you have logged onto the County network. The last thing you
want is someone to subpoena your hard drive to search for
public records.

Under the County Ordinance, vendors may not
provide anything of value to County employees or
Advisory Board members and this would include
lunch or snacks provided at a meeting.
Another question often asked is whether a citizen
may bake a cake or bring a case of water to Advisory
Board members. Pursuant to the County Ordinance,
this is not allowed.
The County’s Ethics Ordinance is very strict.
If anyone tries to pay for your lunch, in
connection with your County advisory board

2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Scope of Services
(revised per TAC comments 1/24/22)
INTRODUCTION
Every five years, the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) updates its Long Range Transportation
Plan (LRTP). Pursuant to federal guidelines, the MPO is scheduled to adopt a 2050 LRTP by December 2025.
The purpose of this plan update is to advance the LRTP’s 20-year planning horizon and to adopt a new Cost
Feasible Plan (CFP) that encourages and promotes a safe and efficient, multi-modal transportation system
that addresses the future year transportation demands. Results of the LRTP process are intended to serve the
overall mobility needs of the area while also being cost effective and consistent with national, state and local
goals and objectives. The 2050 LRTP must conform with 23 CFR § 450.324, address national Performance
Measures and the MPO’s adopted Targets, federal planning factors (23 CFR § 450.306) as updated, state
planning emphasis areas, the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Expectation Letter(s) and new
federal guidance implementing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
SCOPE OF WORK
The MPO is issuing a Request for Professional Services (RPS) to hire a consultant team to serve as the Team
Project Manager and coordinate the planning, analysis and public involvement services. The MPO retains all
rights and ownership to the data, reports, presentations, maps, video and figures delivered by the Consultant
in order to complete the tasks in this Scope of Services. The consultant will undertake the following tasks
during the development of the 2050 LRTP:
1.PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The consultant will provide over-all team project management, QA/QC review of documents, and provide
support services as needed. Activities include a project kick-off meeting, management and oversight of the
activities and products produced by the consultant team members and assisting MPO staff with management
of the 2050 LRTP Update. Consultant will coordinate delivery of consultant teamwork products, provide
technical support during staff review of products and communicate needed revisions to the consultant team.
The consultant will determine which of the tasks outlined in this Scope must occur simultaneously rather
than sequentially for the project to remain on schedule and assign tasks to team members accordingly.
Consultant will communicate with all team members as needed to effectively manage the delivery of the
services provided by each firm and will be responsible for maintaining the content of the project schedule,
adjusting as needed, and communicating delivery schedule updates to team members.
The consultant will use the 2045 LRTP in its entirety as the basis for the 2050 LRTP update, updating existing
text, graphics, spreadsheets, evaluation criteria and map series.
Deliverables:
a.Project Schedule, continually updated, showing critical milestones, product deliverable dates, adequate
time for MPO staff review prior to advisory committee, Board, or public meeting.
b.Timely and thorough revisions when requested by MPO staff.
c.On-time product delivery and invoicing.
2.PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
8B - Attachment 1

The consultant will develop a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) for the 2050 LRTP consistent with the Scope and
the MPO’s Public Participation Plan. The PIP will include the provision of on-line opportunities for public input
by establishing an interactive project web site and use of social media. The consultant will provide on-line
surveys and maps, prepare necessary materials, exhibits, presentations, notices and handouts for meetings
with the MPO Board and Advisory Committees. Consultant will take minutes and record verbal and
documented comments from the public, staff and elected officials and keep a record of how comments were
addressed in subsequent revisions to the LRTP; conversely, if comments did not result in revisions, the
Consultant will briefly explain why.
The Consultant will provide translations of public meeting announcements and public surveys and for MPO
staff to use when supplementing the consultant-supported outreach by giving presentations to local
homeowner’s and civic associations and by hosting informational booths at special events located in the
MPO’s traditionally underserved communities.
MPO staff from Lee County MPO and Collier MPO participate in the TAC meetings of both MPOs. Collier MPO
and County GMD staff will coordinate closely with Lee County MPO and Lee County staff to ensure that
regional roadway, transit and bicycle connecting corridors are planned jointly during the development of the
two LRTP’s Needs and Cost Feasible Plan. The consultant will present the draft Cost Feasible Plan at a joint
regional Lee County/Collier MPO Board meeting.
To ensure outreach to all stakeholders as required by federal guidance, Stakeholders - The MPO will provide
the email addresses for its Adviser Network, state and federal land management agencies, regional freight
representatives, advisory committee members, Lee County MPO, and other stakeholders.

The consultant will incorporate the state and federal revenue estimates provided by FDOT. If FDOT does not
provide revenue projections for maintenance of the State road network, the consultant will project revenues
in consultation with FDOT. The consultant will develop estimates for local funding contributions based on the
County’s currently available Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) and information provided by the
Collier County Growth Management Department. The consultant will develop City estimates for local funding
contributions based on information provided by each City as applicable. Revenues will be grouped according
to the Planning Time Periods identified by FDOT for the 2050 LRTP.
The consultant will develop realistically available Transit Revenue Projections consistent with the Transit
Development Plan, through the year 2050. The TDP will provide the methodology for transit revenue
projections, but the LRTP consultant must calculate the revenues beyond the TDP horizon.
The consultant will develop realistically available Airport Revenue Projections based on airport master plans
provided by the MPO, and information provided by airport managers and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The consultant will describe the allocation of the MPO’s SU Box among the categories of Bicycle/Pedestrian
Facilities, Congestion Management, Bridges, Safety, and Planning based on the 2045 LRTP. (Reference Pg 6-14
and 6-17 of the 2045 LRTP.)

allowing sufficient time for MPO staff and County Growth Management Department staff to review and
approve prior to submitting to FDOT.
a. 2050 Existing and Committed (E+C) Network: The 2019 Base Year Roadway Network comprises the
“Existing” component. The consultant will add roadway network and transit facility and route
improvements programmed for construction in the FDOT-specified TIP, and projects programmed
for completion in the County’s AUIR within the same timeframe to complete the “Committed”
component. The County will provide updated route and headway information
b. 2050 Socio-Economic (SE) Data: The consultant will use the County Interactive Growth Model
(CIGM) to allocate the 2050 BEBR Medium Population Projections to TAZs in five (5) year
increments to match planning periods. The CIGM is operated by Metro Forecasting Models (MFM).
The CIGM projects population growth and associated non-residential development to build-out
based on algorithms that take adopted land use policies and plans into account.
As part of the process, the consultant will analyze whether the TAZ structure should be modified
and coordinate with FDOT, MPO staff and technical staff from affected member governments to
devise the new structure and create the GIS shapefiles.
The consultant will devise a methodology, subject to FDOT’s review and approval, to adjust the SE
data to reflect the Bureau of Business and Economic Development medium population forecast
5
provided by FDOT.
c. Developing and Testing Network Alternatives: FDOT will produce the following model runs and the
consultant will develop the roadway network inputs, transit inputs and SE data refinements called
for, in an iterative process, transitioning from the initial E+C Deficiency Analysis through the
development and testing of the Needs Plan Network and ultimately, the development and testing
of the Cost Feasible Plan Network in cooperation with FDOT. Each step in the analysis will factor
in transit:
i. Deficiency Analysis of the 2050 E+C network and SE data
ii. Alternative 1 Deficiency Analysis – the consultant will provide the network to be tested in
format, beginning with the 2040 LRTP Cost Feasible Plan Network
iii. Alternatives 2 & 3 – the consultant will develop the Needs Plan network based on input
received from MPO and GMD staff, MPO advisory committees, MPO Board, stakeholder
and public input
iv. Alternatives 4 & 5 – the consultant will develop the Cost Feasible Plan network which, in
addition to the input described in Section 5c.iii, is predicated on available financial
resources (Draft Chapter 3) and factors in the results of the Evaluation Matrix (identified in
Section 3, deliverable b.)
v. Preferred Alternative Network and SE Data – the consultant will develop further
refinements based on input received up to this point.
vi. Adopted Cost Feasible Model – the consultant will develop further revisions if called for
upon MPO Board adoption of the 2050 LRTP.
Deliverables:
a. E+C roadway network and SE data
b. Adjustments to roadway network, and SE data and transit system for Alternatives 1-5, the Preferred
Alternative and the final Adopted 2050 LRTP.

x. ETDM Input and Review – Any new major transportation projects (on the State Highway System or the
Strategic Modal System), or any not previously screened through the FDOT Efficient Transportation
Decision Making (ETDM) process, must be screened through the Environmental Screening Tool (EST).
The ETDM Screening Matrix for Qualifying Projects will be used to determine if a project must be
screened. The consultant will be expected to prepare a purpose and need statement and GIS map for
each project as well as a summary of any major issues/comments noted during project review. The
screening must be conducted in conjunction with the update of the Needs Plan or the Cost Feasible
Plan but completed before the final approval of the plan. The purpose of the planning screen review
is to provide additional information to the MPO to make determination whether the project, as
proposed should be adopted in the LRTP. The screening of local projects not on the State Highway
System is optional.
Deliverables:
a. Presentations during the development of the Draft Needs Plan to CAC, TAC, MPO Board, Tribal
governments and at general public meetings (reference Public Involvement Plan Section 2)

INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION OF THE UPWP
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization
documents transportation planning and transportation planning related activities for the two year period
starting July 1, 2022 (FY 2022/23-2023/24). The UPWP is the basis for allocating federal, state, and
local funds for transportation planning purposes in the Collier Metropolitan Planning area. At a
minimum, a UPWP includes a description of the work and resulting products, indicates who will
perform the work, provides timeframes and deadlines for completing the work, includes the cost of the
work and the source(s) of funds.
This Work Program is consistent with all federal and state requirements. All products and planning
concepts and factors follow Federal and State guidelines. The Collier MPO complies with Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national
origin, age, disability, religion or sex.
The objective of the Collier MPO is to provide for a Continuing, Comprehensive, and Cooperative
approach to the planning process. The MPO performs a variety of tasks utilizing funds under Titles 23
and 49, and Title 49 Chapter 53, U.S.C. Those tasks include annual development of the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP); continually improving the Congestion Management Process; regular
updates to the Transit Development Plan (TDP) and Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan
(TDSP); support of Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning activities; preparation of updates to the Long
Range Transportation Plan (LRTP); periodically updating the Public Involvement Plan (PIP),
expanding public outreach activities and implementing strategies to address environmental justice
issues; and supporting FDOT District One and Collier County planning activities with emphasis on
improving traffic modeling and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capabilities. All eligible
expenses will be reimbursed on an actual cost basis and therefore an indirect rate will not be utilized.
OVERVIEW AND STATUS OF CURRENT PLANNING ACTIVITIES
Long Range Transportation Plan
The LRTP is a critical tool in the MPO process. It is composed of a Needs Assessment, a Cost Feasible
Plan, and several multi-modal transportation components. It is the primary document in which multi-
modal components (such as pathways, transit, and other projects), land use data, and projected revenues
are integrated in the long range planning process. The 2040 LRTP was adopted in December 2015.
Three amendments to the plan were completed. The 2045 LRTP started in 2019 and was completed in
December 2020. The development of the 2045 LRTP included coordination with member agencies and
the Florida Department of Transportation.
The 2050 LRTP will be a focus for this UPWP. The MPO has started data collection to submit base
year data for FDOT’s District One Regional Planning Model. Next steps include obtaining a consultant
to begin development of the 2050 LRTP. The document is required to be adopted by December 2025.

INTRODUCTION (cont.)
Congestion Management Process (CMP)
An operational Congestion Management System (CMS) plan was originally adopted in 1997 and was
updated in 2006. The CMS was developed to reduce congestion by not adding travel lanes to existing
highways, but by initiatives such as improving traffic signal timing, improving intersections
(adding/lengthening turn lanes, etc.), and modifying medians. In 2008, the MPO updated the CMS and
renamed it the Congestion Management Process (CMP). The CMP was updated in 2017. The 2017
update brought the document current with the 2040 LRTP and new federal legislation requiring
performance-based, data driven planning. The 2017 update also adopted transportation performance
measures and required project sponsors to establish baseline measures and report the results to the
Congestion Management Committee and the MPO Board.
The CMP also recognized the need for a more extensive data analysis. This led to the completion of
the first Transportation System Performance Report (TSPR). The TSPR called for updates to the CMP
Goals, Objectives, and Performance Measures to be consistent with the analysis included in the report.
An update to the CMP is underway and is expected to be completed in September 2022.
7
LOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANNING PRIORITIES
FY 2022/23 and FY 2023/24 UPWP Transportation Planning Priorities
Completing many technical plans and studies that support the development of the LRTP will be a focus
of this UPWP. Additionally, the MPO will be updating the Environmental Justice analysis previously
completed, by completing an Equity Analysis which will assist in the development of the LRTP and
related technical plans.
Transportation System Performance Report (TSPR)
The first TSPR was approved in September 2020. The TSPR established a consistent methodology for
identifying congested locations using a performance driven approach. The TSPR will be updated prior
to the update of the 2050 LRTP and should be approved by June 2025. This is a supporting document
of the LRTP.
Transit Planning
A major Transit Development Plan (TDP) update was completed in September 2020. The results of
the TDP update were included in the transit element of the 2045 LRTP. A TDP update must be
completed by June 2025 in order to coordinate with the 2050 LRTP. The Public Transit and
Neighborhood Enhancement (PTNE) Department in coordination with the Collier MPO completes
Annual Progress Reports to the TDP in-house.
A Regional Fares/Services study is being conducted to evaluate regional transit service and regional
fares. The study will consist of information to guide analysis and decision making regarding potential
cross-jurisdictional transit projects. This study is expected to be completed by May 2023.
The last Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSP) major update was completed in 2018. The
Collier MPO serves as the designated official planning agency and performs Transportation
Disadvantaged Planning activities. A major TDSP update is required to be completed 120 days after
reappointment of the Community Transportation Coordinator which will occur in 2023. This update
must be completed and submitted to the Transportation Disadvantaged Commission by October 2023.
Local Road Safety Plan
The initial Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP) was completed and approved on May 14, 2021. The plan,
funded through the Congestion Management priority process, is a data driven, 5-year safety plan that
will guide the MPO in identifying implementation efforts that support FDOT’s “Vision Zero” goals.
The update to the LRSP will be completed in house with an update to data and statistics prior to the
2050 LRTP update. This is a supporting document of the LRTP.
Equity Analysis
A preliminary identification of Environmental Justice Communities was conducted in 2016 and was
further refined as part of the Existing Conditions analysis for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
MPO Staff will prepare an updated Equity Analysis to assess changes throughout the community.
Regional Transportation Planning Activities
The Lee County and Collier MPOs meet annually to discuss regional issues and projects which may
have a joint impact on the area. The Collier MPO participates in the Lee MPO’s Technical Advisory
8
Committee (TAC) and the Lee MPO participates in the Collier TAC. The MPOs will continue to work
together to endorse and adopt regional priorities for enhancements, TRIP, highway, and transit projects.
In addition, the Collier MPO participates in meetings of the Coordinated Urban Transportation Systems
(CUTS), the Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC), and in district and
state-wide meetings with FDOT.
AIR QUALITY PLANNING ACTIVITIES
The Collier MPO is in an air quality attainment area and does not anticipate completing any non-
attainment planning activities at this time; however, the MPO planning area’s air quality continues to
be monitored and staff participates in training as needed.
SOFT MATCH
Section 120 of Title 23, U.S.C, permits a state to use certain toll revenue expenditures as a credit toward
the non-federal matching share of all programs authorized by Title 23, (with the exception of
Emergency Relief Programs) and for transit programs authorized by Chapter 53 of Title 49, U.S.C.
This is in essence a “soft-match” provision that allows the federal share to be increased up to 100% to
the extent credits are available. The “soft match” amount being utilized to match the FHWA funding
in this UPWP is 18.07% of FHWA program funds for a total of $188,751 in FY 2022/23 and $172,127
in FY 2023/24 for a total of $360,878. The “soft match” amount being utilized to match carryover
5305(d) funding in this UPWP is 20% of FTA funds for a total of $32,007 in FY 2020/21 and $31,179
in FY 2021/22 for a total of $63,186.
FDOT District One Planning Activities
Florida Department of Transportation- District One District Wide Planning activities for FY22/23-
FY23/24 include the following:
• GIS Application Development and System Maintenance
• Systems Planning and Reviews
• Interchange Reviews
• Travel Demand Model Development
• ETDM/Community Impact Assessment

As part of the 3 “C” planning process, District staff coordinate planning activities with the MPO.
MPO Board and Advisory Committee members are notified of project meetings within the MPO
area. FDOT staff present status reports to the MPO Board and Advisory Committees to solicit
feedback on planning activities and to ensure that District planning studies and MPO planning
activities are coordinated.
CPG PARTICIPATION STATEMENT
“The FDOT and the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization participate in the Consolidated Grant
Program (CPG). The CPG enables FDOT, in cooperation with the MPO, FHWA, and FTA, to annually
consolidate Florida’s FHWA PL and FTA 5305(d) metropolitan planning fund allocations into a single
grant that is administered by the FHWA’s Florida Division. These funds are annually apportioned to
FDOT as the direct recipient and allocated to the MPO by FDOT utilizing formulas approved by the
MPO, FDOT, FHWA, and FTA in accordance with 23 CFR 420.109 and 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. The
FDOT is fulfilling the CPG’s required 18.07% non-federal share (match) using Transportation
Development Credits as permitted by 23 CFR 120(j) and FTA C 8100.1D.”
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS
The development of the UPWP has been subject to public review and comment and is consistent with
the Collier MPO’s adopted Public Participation Plan (PPP). The draft is sent to the TAC and CAC for
review, announced on the Collier MPO website and sent to interested parties via email to the MPO’s
listserv on the date the TAC/CAC agenda packets are posted and distributed.
MPO staff responds in writing to input received from the public and all comments received from the
public, advisory committee members and Board members are memorialized and addressed in this
document. All comments received, including from FHWA, FTA, and FDOT have been addressed and
incorporated into Appendix D of the final document.
A draft of this UPWP was endorsed by the Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees on February
28, 2022 and approved by the MPO Board on March 11, 2022. The final document was endorsed by
the Citizens and Technical Advisory Committee on April 25, 2022 and approved by the MPO Board
on May 15, 2022.

FEDERAL PLANNING FACTORS
In December 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law. The
FAST act identified the following ten planning factors which have been incorporated into the MPO
Planning Process and this UPWP:
1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global
competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency;
2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users;
3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users;
4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight;
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of
life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local
planned growth and economic development patterns;
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between
modes, for people and freight;
7. Promote efficient system management and operation;
8. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate
stormwater impacts of surface transportation;
9. Enhance travel and tourism; and,
10. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system
In addition to the planning factors noted above, MAP-21 required that State DOTs and MPOs conduct
performance-based planning by tracking performance measures and setting data-driven targets to
improve those measures. Performance-based planning ensures the most efficient investment of federal
transportation funds by increasing accountability, transparency, and providing for better investment
decisions that focus on key outcomes related to seven national goals which include:
• Improving Safety;
• Maintaining Infrastructure Condition;
• Reducing Traffic Congestion;
• Improving the Efficiency of the System and Freight Movement;
• Protecting the Environment; and,
• Reducing Delays in Project Delivery.
The FAST Act supplemented the MAP-21 legislation by establishing timelines for State DOTs and
MPOs to comply with the requirements of MAP-21. State DOTs are required to establish statewide
targets and MPOs have the option to support the statewide targets or adopt their own. The Collier MPO
has chosen to support the statewide targets. The transition to performance-based planning is ongoing
and has been addressed within the tasks identified in this UPWP, specifically within the LRTP, the
TIP, and the TSPR. The Collier MPO intends to coordinate with FDOT and member agencies to fully
comply with the performance-based planning requirements.
In November 2021 the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was signed into law. This
legislation carries forward the policies, programs, and initiatives established by preceding legislation
(FAST Act and MAP-21) to maintain and improve the nation’s surface transportation system. The IIJA
carries forward and expands on these policies and introduces new policies and programs that address
11
new and emerging issues that face the nation’s transportation system. These issues include mitigating
impacts to existing infrastructure due to climate change, developing and maintaining system resiliency,
ensuring equity, researching and deploying new technologies, and improving safety for all users.
TABLE 1 – PLANNING FACTOR MATRIX
FEDERAL AND STATE PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS
STATE PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS – 2022
The Florida Department of Transportation Office of Policy Planning develops Planning Emphasis
Areas on a two-year cycle in coordination with the development of Metropolitan Planning
Organizations’ respective unified planning work programs. Emphasis areas set planning priorities,
support the Florida Transportation Plan, and give importance to topic areas which MPOs are
encouraged to address as they develop their planning programs. Implementation of the seven goals of
the Florida Transportation Plan requires embracing innovation; extensive collaboration across
jurisdictions, modes and disciplines; an emphasis on customer service; data and performance feedback;
and strategic investments for the efficient and effective allocation of resources.
The Collier MPO has considered the four topics shown below and included them in studies identified
in this UPWP.
Safety
The Florida Transportation Plan and the State’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan place top priority on
safety, with a state target of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. In addition to adopting safety
targets, the MPOs must show how their Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and priority projects
in their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) support progress toward those targets. The UPWP
should consider enhancements to data analyses and community involvement to better inform the
identification and prioritization of safety projects.

8. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the
transportation system and reduce or mitigate
stormwater impacts of surface transportation.
9. Enhance travel and tourism.
10. Emphasize the preservation of the existing
transportation system.
Federal Planning Factors
12
Equity
Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, created the “Justice40
Initiative” that aims to deliver 40 percent of the overall benefits of relevant federal investments to
disadvantaged communities. This initiative supports Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity
and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, outlines federal policy
and defines equity as the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of individuals.
The Florida Transportation Plan seeks transportation choices that improve accessibility and equity by
including a key strategy to enhance affordable transportation, service, and information access options
for all ages and abilities and throughout underserved communities. The MPOs are key to identifying
and implementing improvements based on data-driven project prioritization that considers not only
impacts of transportation projects on a community, but also benefits of projects that can enhance
opportunities for a community. The UPWP should address approaches to furthering transportation
equity.
Resilience
With the passage of the FAST Act, resilience was introduced as a federal planning factor: “Improve
the resilience and reliability of the transportation system and mitigate stormwater impacts of surface
transportation.” Resilience is defined as the ability to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for,
withstand, and recover from disruption. These conditions can encompass a wide variety of
environmental, technological, economic, or social impacts.
MPOs can address resilience within their planning processes by leveraging tools such as the FHWA
Resilience and Transportation Planning guide and the FDOT Quick Guide: Incorporating Resilience in
the MPO LRTP. It should be noted that while these documents focus primarily on the development of
MPO LRTPs and TIPs, addressing resilience should be a consideration within every planning
document prepared by an MPO. MPOs should place a particular emphasis on coordination with agency
partners responsible for natural disaster risk reduction, or who may be developing local resilience
planning initiatives. Additionally, MPOs should consider the additional costs associated with reducing
vulnerability of the existing transportation infrastructure. Proactive resiliency planning will help the
MPO develop planning documents that are ultimately more realistic and cost-effective.
Emerging Mobility
Advances in communication and automation technology result in new mobility options, ranging from
automated and connected transport, electric vehicles, ridesharing, and micro-mobility, to flying cars
and space travel. These changes may be disruptive and transformational, with impacts to safety, vehicle
ownership, travel capacity, vehicle miles traveled, land-use, transportation design, future investment
demands, supply chain logistics, economy, and the workforce. Implementation of all seven goals of
the Florida Transportation Plan can be furthered through both the transformation of major corridors
and hubs and the expansion of transportation infrastructure to embrace and support the adoption of
emerging mobility.
The UPWP should recognize the important influence of emerging mobility on the multi-modal
transportation system and include related planning studies, collaboration efforts, research, or other
activities.
13
FEDERAL PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS – 2022

APPENDIX B – PLANNING STUDIES IN THE MPO AREA
This list is compiled and/or updated by the Collier MPO staff for the purposes of regional planning. It is
included here for reference.
SR 29 (in Collier County) – FDOT is completing a PD&E study that looks at several alternatives to provide
more capacity through Immokalee. An alternative has been endorsed by the MPO Board, but the PD&E has not
been approved by FHWA. This project has been going on since 2007. The Collier MPO 2040 Needs Plan and
Cost Feasible Plan include this project
Old US 41 (Lee/Collier County) – FDOT is completing a PD&E study to evaluate alternatives for capacity and
sidewalk improvements.
Green Boulevard Extension/ North Belle Meade Study – Collier County has not commenced this study, but
it is intended to evaluate the area that extends eastward from CR – 951 to surround the North Belle Meade area
from Golden Gate Estates to I-75 and eastward to Everglades Boulevard. The purpose of this study is to more
clearly define the future collector roadway network in this area. Several east-west and north-south needs-based
corridors have been identified that would enhance circulation throughout the area. The study effort would include
determining the feasibility and preferred alignment for the identified corridors or alternatives that may be
developed during the study.
CR951 Congestion Relief Study – Collier County has not commenced this study, but it is intended to identify
an alternative travel route to the existing CR951 corridor due to forecasted high congestion levels by 2040. The
study area extends from CR951 to City Gate North Boulevard to Benfield Road on its eastern limits to US41 at
its southern limits. The limits of this study area are subject to change. The study will consider multiple travel
routes, improvements to CR951, a no-build option, and evaluate other alternative planning strategies to alleviate
future congestion on CR951.
Collier Blvd. (Bridge Location Analysis from Golden Gate Parkway to Golden Gate Main Canal) – The
design of this project reached approximately 60% plan phase and then was placed on hold. Collier County is
revising the plans and permits and completing a study to look at the current traffic and future traffic to
recommend a bridge crossing location. It is anticipated that a bridge crossing location will be recommended to
the BCC.
Veteran’s Memorial Blvd. Study – Collier County is studying from just west of the new High School entrance
to Old US41 and the continuing on to US41. This work is being coordinated with the FDOT PD&E that is
currently ongoing for Old US41 in Lee and Collier Counties. The purpose of this study is to more clearly define
the corridor for the roadway and to start the environmental permitting process.
Immokalee Area Transportation Network Study – Collier County has initiated a multi-modal transportation
planning study that will compile transportation and mobility projects to complete connections and expand
mobility in the Immokalee area. The project will develop recommendations that identify enhancements to
mobility for all transportation users including bicycle and pedestrians, transit riders and well as vehicles. It is
anticipated that the tools developed from this plan could be used by the MPO, CRA, the County and other
agencies to identify resources and advance projects.
