6. AGENCY UPDATES
6.A. FDOT
Mr. Kubler, Director of Transportation Development, introduced himself and stated that he is the
District I Interim Secretary. Mr. L.K. Nandam is serving as the Interim Secretary for Strategic Development
for a few months but will return as District I Secretary.
Mr. Gaither provided a presentation regarding the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure
Initiative, particularly as it relates to Collier County. The legislative Initiative is to expedite twenty major
interstate and arterial projects across the State over the next four years. Legislative approval is still required.
FDOT is proposing dedicating $4 billion of general revenue surplus toward the Initiative. Additionally,
FDOT will be able to leverage an additional $3 billion (through innovative financing, contracting methods
and policy proposals). By committing general revenue surplus funds, the projects, which have already been
endorsed by the local communities, can be expedited.
Mr. Gaither discussed the projects in Collier County contained in the Initiative. The I-75 at Pine
Ridge Road Interchange project includes widening Pine Ridge Road and reconstruction of the I-75
interchange to a diverging diamond interchange. The I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to Corkscrew Road
project will provide capacity improvements to over twenty miles of I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway to
Corkscrew Road. The project will add one additional general use lane in the northbound and southbound
2

4.A.1
directions (six to eight lane widening). The S.R. 29 from C.R. 846 East to New Market Road project will
construct a new alignment of S.R. 29 as a four -lane divided roadway to serve as a loop around the downtown
Immokalee area. The design will have four twelve -foot travel lanes with curb and gutter on both sides, a
twenty -two -foot median, and twelve -foot shared use paths on both sides. The project also includes drainage
improvements along the entire length of the corridor. The S.R. 29 from New Market Road to S.R. 82
project consists of widening an approximately three -mile -long segment of S.R. 29. The final roadway will
consist of two twelve -foot travel lanes in each direction with four -foot paved inside shoulders, ten -foot
(five-foot paved) outside shoulders, and a thirty-foot median. Intersection improvements are proposed for
the intersection of S.R. 29 at New Market Road and Westclox Street. Vice -Chair Folley requested
clarification that the interchange at C.R. 951/Collier Boulevard was not discussed because it was already
funded, and Ms. McLaughlin confirmed. Ms. Peters indicated that the interchange at C.R. 951 is in the
design/build phase and headed into construction.
Ms. Peters stated that FDOT is holding a public meeting regarding the I-75 South Corridor Master
Plan Update on February 16, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the North Collier Regional Park. The South Corridor goes
from C.R. 951 to Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers. FDOT held regional grant information workshops
and a SIS (Florida's Strategic Intermodal System) plan update session in January. The events were
successful and beneficial to those who attended. The updated SIS plan addresses a more strategic way to
invest SIS funds.
6.B. MPO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Ms. McLaughlin announced that Collier MPO was awarded a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant to
develop a Safety Action Plan. Once a Safety Action Plan is completed and approved, the entire region is
eligible to apply for implementation grants. Collier MPO applied for $200,000 in Federal funds, and Collier
County has agreed to provide $50,000 in match funds. It is unclear, at this time, when the Federal funds
will be received or when the planning will start.
Ms. McLaughlin introduced the MPO's new Principal Planner, Mr. Kingston.
7. COMMITTEE CHAIR REPORTS
7.A. CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC)
7.A.1. Citizens Advisory Committee Chair Report
Ms. Middelstaedt stated that CAC had its meeting on January 23 and a quorum was achieved.
There were no reports from FDOT. Ms. McLaughlin described handouts that were provided at the
beginning of the meeting (BPAC's proposed revisions to the scope of work for the update to the Bicycle
Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) and a 2020 U.S. Census Urban Area map). During Committee Action, Ms.
Middelstaedt was re-elected as CAC Chair and Mr. Neal Gelfand was re-elected as CAC Vice -Chair. CAC
endorsed the scope of work for the automated Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the scope
of work for the BPMP update with BPAC and TAC's suggested modifications. Ms. McLaughlin reported
on issues related to the geographic expansion of what is now referred to as the Bonita Springs/Estero Urban
Area for distribution of funding between Collier and Lee Counties. Given the update to the census map,
joint meetings with Lee County would need to take place during the spring/summer months instead of
during the fall, as was previously proposed. (Collier BCC recently decided to meet during the summer.)
CAC received a presentation from the Public Transit Neighborhood Enhancement (PTNE) division
regarding Collier Area Transit, and FDOT Interstate Program Office provided a presentation regarding the
I-75 South Corridor Master Plan, including upcoming public meetings. CAC was provided a distribution
Packet Pg. 7
4.A.1
of an update to the Veterans Memorial Boulevard extension project. The next CAC meeting is on February
27. Ms. Middelstaedt will be out-of-state, and Mr. Gelfand will chair the meeting.
7.B. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (TAC)
7.B.1. Technical Advisory Committee Chair Report
Ms. Lantz stated that she was re-elected as TAC Chair and Ms. Alison Bickett was re-elected as
TAC Vice -Chair at the last TAC meeting on January 23. Ms. Lantz highlighted some items from the TAC
Chair Report included in the agenda packet. TAC discussed the bicycle/pedestrian safety ordinance
suggested by the MPO Board, which is to be reviewed by BPAC. TAC would also like to review the draft
ordinance and provide input. TAC had some preliminary discussion about the 2020 U.S. Census Urban
Area map. Future discussions would include allocations and geographical boundary issues. Potential joint
meetings with Lee County in October were discussed, but ultimately, it was decided that any joint meetings
would likely need to occur earlier.
Ms. Lantz congratulated Collier MPO on its award of the SS4A grant.
7.C. BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (BPAC)
7.C.1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Chair Report
Mr. Matonti indicated that at BPAC's last meeting on January 17, he was re-elected as BPAC
Chair and Ms. Patty Huff was elected as BPAC Vice -Chair. The major area of focus at the meeting was
the BPMP update. Ms. McLaughlin had provided a draft scope of work for the update and meaningful
input was provided by BPAC. Some of the input included additional public involvement outreach,
connectivity, and adding "cost" to evaluation criteria. With respect to public involvement, BPAC would
like the consultant to develop a plan to participate in local, community events and collaborate with
community groups and non -profits. BPAC also discussed the various types of media communications (such
as television, radio, and print). The County had provided a 2023 Road Resurfacing Plan, which BPAC
reviewed and commented on. The MPO is working to coordinate a joint meeting with Lee County's
bicycle/pedestrian committee.
7.D. CONGESTION MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (CMC)
7.D.1. Congestion Management Committee Chair Report
Mr. Beauvoir introduced himself and stated that he is the new CMC Chair and happy to be a
member of CMC. CMC held its regularly scheduled meeting on January 18 and a quorum was achieved.
CMC received agency reports from PTNE, Transportation Planning, BPAC, and Traffic Management
Center Operations. Ms. Lantz was elected as CMC Vice -Chair. CMC reviewed, commented on, and
approved draft Call for Projects Schedule, Submittal Requirements, Evaluation Criteria and Scoring Matrix.
CMC discussed the available funding, forms, projects available for funding, changes in transportation
technology, and successful transportation projects. There were no presentations or distribution items. The
next CMC meeting is scheduled for March 15.
Commissioner McDaniel requested that Mr. Beauvoir keep the Board updated as planning and
data collection moves forward.

9. REGULAR BOARD ACTION (NO ROLL CALL)
9.A. Elect MPO Board Chair and Vice -Chair
Ms. McLaughlin explained that the MPO Bylaws require that a Chair and Vice -Chair be elected
at the first regularly scheduled meeting of each calendar year. The officers must be voting members of the
MPO and any Board member may nominate or be nominated. Elections are decided by a majority vote.
The Chair and Vice -Chair serve a one-year term or until a successor is elected. Council Member Paul Perry
is the current Chair and Council Member Greg Folley is the current Vice -Chair.
Commissioner McDaniel moved to elect Vice -Chair Folley as Chair and Commissioner Saunders
seconded. Passed unanimously.
Commissioner McDaniel moved to elect Commissioner Hall as Vice -Chair and Commissioner
Kowal seconded. Passed unanimously.
9.11. Approval of Two Reappointments and One New Appointment of Citizens Advisory
Committee (CAC) Members
Mr. Kingston explained that two current members of CAC, and one new potential member of
CAC, sought three-year terms on CAC. Mr. Rick Hart is a CAC member representing persons with
disabilities, and Mr. Fred Sasser is a CAC member representing the City of Naples. Mr. Sasser was
recommended by Council Member Perry and his CAC application was approved by Naples City Council
on January 19. The new CAC applicant for the vacancy in District V, Josephine Medina, applied with
approval expressed by Commissioner McDaniel. Ms. Medina has previous work experience with the MPO.
Council Member Blankenship moved to approve the reappointment of Rick Hart to CAC, the
reappointment of Fred Sasser to CAC, and the appointment of Josephine Medina to CAC. Commissioner
Saunders seconded. Passed unanimously.
9.C. Approval of Two Reappointments to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
(BPAC)
Mr. Kingston explained that two current members of BPAC sought additional two-year terms.
Both Ms. Andrea Halman, resident of Immokalee, and Mr. Anthony Matonti, former and current BPAC
Chair, have been very active members of BPAC.
Commissioner McDaniel moved to approve the reappointments of Andrea Halman and Anthony
Matonti to BPAC. Council Member Pernas seconded. Passed unanimously.
Packet Pg. 9
4.A.1
9.D. Approval of a Work Order for Capital Consulting Solutions to Automate the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Project Sheets and Develop an
Interactive, Searchable Map
Ms. McLaughlin explained that the MPO would like to contract with Capital Consulting Solutions
under the MPO's general planning contract and Procurement's regular rotation, to automate the project
sheets for the FY 2024-2028 TIP, and to develop a searchable map. The work was previously done in-
house by the MPO, but there was a margin of error with staff s manual insertion of data entry. An automated
transfer of data would be more successful. It is the MPO's intention that the consultant provide standard
operating procedures and staff training, so the work can be done in-house in the future. Ideally, MPO staff
would be able to update GIS map(s) in the future as well. The work is outlined in the Unified Planning
Work Program (UPWP) and there is sufficient funding to cover the cost ($24,744). Review and concurrence
have been provided by FDOT. TAC and CAC reviewed and endorsed the scope of services but did not
review the proposed work order.
Commissioner McDaniel moved to approve the work order for Capital Consulting Solutions to
Automate the TIP Project Sheets and Develop an Interactive, Searchable Map, and Commissioner
Saunders seconded. Passed unanimously.
9.E. Approval of a Work Order for Jacobs Engineering Group to Conduct the Collier
Area Transit Regional Service and Regional Fare Study
Ms. McLaughlin explained that that the MPO would like to contract with Jacobs Engineering
Group under the MPO's general planning contract and Procurement's regular rotation, to conduct the
Collier Area Transit Regional Service and Regional Fare Study. The Study is identified in the UPWP under
transit and transportation disadvantaged planning. Funding is available and FDOT provided concurrence
on the scope of services. TAC and CAC reviewed and endorsed the scope of services.
Commissioner McDaniel commented that he would like a comparison of rate schedules and
services of similar municipalities that have Metropolitan Planning Organizations in the Study. Ms.
McLaughlin responded that the comparison should be easy to incorporate.
Commissioner McDaniel moved to approve the work order for Jacobs Engineering Group to
Conduct the Collier Area Transit Regional Service and Fare Study, with the comparison of rate schedules
and services for similar municipalities, and Commissioner Kowal seconded. Passed unanimously.
10. PRESENTATIONS (MAY REQUIRE BOARD ACTION)
10.A. FDOT Interstate Program Office — I-75 South Corridor Master Plan
Mr. Jester provided a presentation regarding the I-75 South Corridor Master Plan Update. Mr.
Jester discussed the year of need for interchange and mainline segment improvements along the South
Corridor (from C.R. 951 to Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers), the various proposed improvement
projects, and the proposed typical sections for mainline segment projects. Two different strategies have
been identified for mainline improvements: the addition of auxiliary lanes and general use lanes. Auxiliary
lanes would be needed at key locations and managed lanes (currently proposed as thru lanes) would be
needed on the northern portion of the corridor. Vehicle restrictions and tolling are not contemplated at this
time, but an independent tolling study is being conducted. For managed lanes, the Plan anticipates a slip
ramp, weave lane, and a second slip ramp to get from local lanes to thru lanes, and vice versa. This would
0
Packet Pg. 10
4.A.1
create a separation of vehicles travelling a long distance from those travelling a short distance, as the ability
to get from one set of lanes to the other would not be available in between interchanges.
FDOT is beginning public outreach. There is an interactive online tour from February 13 through
February 27. A virtual online Q&A session will take place on February 15 at 6 p.m. An in -person meeting
will take place on February 16, at 5 p.m., at the North Collier Regional Park. Moving forward, FDOT
hopes to finalize the Master Plan in the summer and continue to develop an implementation plan and
complete PD&E studies this year.
Commissioner McDaniel asked why the interchange on Pine Ridge Road is not included as a
project on the Master Plan Update. Mr. Jester responded that the Pine Ridge Road interchange is currently
in the design phase, and therefore, does not need to be included in the Master Plan. Commissioner
McDaniel asked if FDOT has been having any discussions about a partial interchange at Everglades
Boulevard. Mr. Jester responded that an independent study is underway regarding a potential interchange
at Everglades Boulevard. Once approved, FDOT will be reaching out to share the findings. Commissioner
McDaniel indicated that if FDOT needs any help in that regard, to let him know, as he is planning to be in
Tallahassee in April. Commissioner McDaniel requested that FDOT provide any findings from the study.
Commissioner Kowal commented that he was recently at a press conference with the Deputy Governor
and the Secretary of Transportation. There was a discussion regarding the need for an I-75 interchange at
Everglades Boulevard for safety, particularly in emergency situations such as wildfires, and because of the
anticipated rate of growth in that area. Commissioner Kowal expressed that an interchange at Everglades
Boulevard is very much needed.
Council Member Blankenship suggested that, when FDOT is doing public outreach, other
projects outside of the Master Plan, which are being considered or are already approved, be included so that
the public gets a wholistic view related to 1-75 improvements. Mr. Jester responded that FDOT will have
a specific display related to ongoing projects not identified in the Master Plan. Council Member
Blankenship asked if FDOT is considering any other potential 1-75 interchanges. Mr. Jester responded
that the MPO has requested FDOT to look at Vanderbilt Beach Road for a potential interchange; a
preliminary study is being conducted. Council Member Blankenship suggested that FDOT let the public
know about the studies on potential interchanges at Everglades Boulevard and Vanderbilt Beach Road.
Council Member Pernas commented that S.R. 29 has a lot of traffic, is going to be expanded to
four -lanes and will have more traffic, and that many drivers on S.R. 29 get on 1-75. Council Member Pernas
wondered why S.R. 29 was not included on the Master Plan. Mr. Jester responded that the future
projections monitored thus far indicate capacity needs at the areas identified in the Master Plan. Projections
do not currently show a capacity need in the vicinity of S.R. 29. Council Member Pernas contended that
many drivers are using S.R. 29 to avoid traffic on 1-75 going through the Naples area. Commissioner
McDaniel indicated that there are new plans, new funding, and new timelines for construction; the S.R. 29
from C.R. 846 E to New Market Road project was not slated for funding until 2032 and completion is
anticipated in 2026. Council Member Pemas' concerns can be addressed when developing the next Long -
Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The upcoming work on S.R. 29 will impact work FDOT is doing on
1-75, but not yet.
Chair Folley asked, with respect to the weave section in the Master Plan, if FDOT anticipates
drivers will be able to get from the local lanes to the thru lanes and vice -versa at every interchange. Mr.
Jester responded that there would be, except for at Exit 138 (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard). Origin
and destination data was analyzed, and the exit is very close to two other exits. FDOT will continue to
monitor growth and need.

10.13. Introduction of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 1 Safety
Administrator
Mr. Robbins, the new FDOT District 1 Safety Administrator, introduced himself, discussed his
background, and provided a presentation regarding FDOT's current safety issues and initiatives. FDOT is
trying to change the culture internally and externally to be more comprehensive, with the tenets being:
safety is everyone's responsibility; incorporate a safety mindset from the start in all projects; look at all
options and opportunities; partnerships with local agencies, officials, and stakeholders; and the Safe System
Approach sponsored by FHWA (proactive rather than reactive).
On Florida's roads in District 1, there are 8 fatalities and 49 serious injuries daily. Crash statistics
by the State's Strategic Highway Safety Plan show that lane departures, intersections, and non -motorist
(pedestrian and cyclists) account for the highest injury and fatality rates. Community engagement is a
crucial part of safety planning. FDOT has partnerships with law enforcement and various community
agencies, engages more community agency and member involvement in road safety audits, and conducts
external and internal vision zero (planning for safety) training workshops. FDOT's path forward is to use
a Safe System Approach (vision zero and speed management workshops for staff and external partners),
partner engagement (one-on-one meetings with elected officials, law enforcement, and others across the
District), spread the word of targeted safety messages through a variety of means for public awareness of
key traffic safety issues, and a comprehensive approach of a grass roots effort involving all FDOT partners
and resources to make the maximum safety impact. Mr. Robbins has been meeting one-on-one with county
sheriffs to discuss roadway safety. FDOT's Target Zero initiative is to reduce the number of transportation -
related serious injuries and deaths across Florida to zero.
Mr. Robbins offered to answer any questions. Commissioners Hall and Saunders asked what
behaviors constitute distracted driving, specifically as it relates to drivers using mobile devises while
driving. Mr. Robbins responded that law enforcement determines whether a driver is distracted, and it is
also a legal issue. Many different driver behaviors can constitute distracted driving and it can also depend
upon the conditions present. Using a mobile phone or texting (without a hands -free device) is illegal.
Commissioner Kowal commented that Florida was one of the last states to enact a no texting while driving
statute. In his opinion, the statute is poorly written. Enforcement was an issue because of loopholes in the
statute. The statute should be revised. Mr. Robbins commented that FDOT is looking at engineering
solutions to help, but many problems are caused by driver behavior (e.g., distracted driving, aggressive
driving, speeding). Driver education and training is an important component in reducing crashes.
Commissioner Kowal commented that he has seen study results providing that texting while driving is
worse than driving under the influence while maneuvering a vehicle. Commissioner Kowal also thanked
Mr. Robbins for his service in the U.S. Army.
Commissioner McDaniel commented that there has been a shift to move toward round-abouts.
There were contentions regarding the round-abouts on S.R. 82 and S.R. 29, particularly regarding freight
vehicles. Commissioner McDaniel requested updates regarding round -about improvements being made to
intersections and statistics data on accidents and fatalities. The information would be helpful to compare
with the previous studies that indicated less fatalities, and to help the Board in making infrastructure
improvement decisions in the future. Mr. Robbins responded that FDOT will be doing after -improvement
studies in various areas, including round-abouts and pedestrian crossings.
Chair Folley expressed concern that one of the factors contributing to roadway fatalities and
serious injuries is aging driver, which accounts for 27%/28%. Chair Folley's recollection was that there is
a ten-year period for driver's licenses. Chair Folley suggested that the State legislature may need to address
the issue.

10.C. Update on Traffic Safety Statistics for Collier County
Ms. McLaughlin provided a presentation regarding traffic safety statistics for Collier County based
on information provided by FDOT, as follow-up from a request at the last MPO Board meeting. Ms.
McLaughlin provided the annual average fatality trends and rates (compares fatalities and vehicle miles
travelled) from 2009 through 2021. The most recent updated reporting period was for the five-year period
of 2017 through 2021. The trends and rates for the last three reporting periods have been fairly consistent.
Annual average serious injuries have gone up some. Average annual ped-bike fatalities and serious injuries
have gone down. Data from 2014 through 2018 included in Collier MPO's 2021 Local Road Safety Plan
provides that Collier County has lower than State average amounts of crashes, fatalities and injuries.
According to the FDOT FY 2024 Highway Safety Matrix, Collier County is not included in the top 35%
for any categories of safety concern/risk factor areas.
10.D. Collier County Public Transportation & Neighborhood Enhancement Division
(PTNE) Report on Collier Area Transit (CAT)
Ms. Arnold provided a presentation regarding Public Transit & Neighborhood Enhancement
(PTNE) and explained what PTNE is and what it does. In addition to transit, PTNE has Municipal Service
Taxing/Benefit Units that provide communities with various improvements. Ms. Arnold discussed Collier
Area Transit (CAT) information and current operations statistics related to its fixed route system and
paratransit system, as well as performance measures, planning functions, assets, asset management, and
CAT's ten-year vision plan.
Commissioner McDaniel indicated that he was asked about enhancing the bicycle racks at existing
bus stops and asked if CAT is responsible for the bike racks. Ms. Arnold responded that it is CAT's
responsibility to build and improve the racks. Commissioner McDaniel asked how the public can inform
CAT where bike racks are needed. Ms. Arnold advised that the public could contact CAT at 239-252-
7777 or simply call 311. Commissioner McDaniel suggested that there be a standard operating procedure
that bike racks are installed when new bus stops are added, or existing bus stops are repaired, and indicated
a willingness to help if there was anything the MPO Board or commissioners could do from a procedural
standpoint. Ms. Arnold stated that there are bike racks at all CAT shelters. There are different levels of
bus stops; some are simply a bus stop pole in the ground, some are platforms that are connected to
sidewalks, and some are shelters. There may be the capacity to add bike racks at platform stops. Mr.
Folley remarked that he has received feedback that more CAT shelters are needed on Collier Boulevard in
Marco Island. Ms. Arnold responded that CAT has been communicating with the commissioner for that
district and working on the issue.
10.E. Report on SU Box Balances in the FY23-27 Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) and Programming Status of Prioritized Project Lists
Ms. McLaughlin provided a presentation as a follow-up to a request made by Commissioner
McDaniel at the last Board meeting, when MPO Staff requested unprogrammed SU funding (Surface
Transportation Block Grant -Urban Funds) be provided to the CAT Maintenance Facility Replacement
project. SU funds are awarded to Collier MPO to program cooperatively with FDOT; the funding is a
flexible category of federal funds. The MPO Board has a significant role in determining how the SU funds
(in the approximate amount of $6-$7 million annually) are used.
How the SU funds are spent originates with the 2045 LRTP and is encapsulated in the Cost Feasible
Plan. Historically and by current MPO Board practice, the SU funds are allocated to bicycle/pedestrian
project priorities, sometimes to MPO supplemental planning funds (especially for the LRTP), congestion

management/intelligent transportation priorities, and bridge/safety priorities. The balance of SU funds for
September, October, and December of FY 2023 fluctuated from $3.3 million in September, to $5.8 million
in October, to $2.1 million in December. SU is a constantly moving category of funds. When the SU box
is discussed, it is important to remember that the box is the residual money that has not been programmed
yet, and what has been programmed in that year should be considered. For FY 2023, SU funds and TA
(transportation alternative) programmed funds were $4.6 million and box funds were $2.1 million. With
respect to the Draft Tentative Work Program for FY 2024 — 2028, all the SU funds were programmed for
FY 2024.
In terms of prioritized projects being funded, all 2022 bicycle/pedestrian priority projects are either
in design or construction, and all but one of the five 2021 congestion management priority projects are
underway (the one project not underway is anticipated to be included in the next work program). With
respect to 2021 planning study priorities, the 2050 LRTP planning has been well -funded. On the 2022
transit priority list, the CAT Maintenance Facility Replacement project was the number one priority.
10.17. Preliminary Report on US Census Release of Urban Area Data
Ms. McLaughlin explained that newly released census data and delineation for urban areas (2020),
which is the population basis for the MPO's planning, SU/TA, transit, and potentially carbon -reduction,
funding is different than in years past. The designated Bonita Springs/Estero Urban Area funds that go to
Collier County and the designated Cape Coral Urban Area funds go to Lee County. The Bonita
Springs/Estero Urban Area now encroaches quite a bit into Lee County. Since the 2010 census, it grew by
56 square miles and the population grew by approximately 115,000. By comparison, the Cape Coral Urban
area only grew by 1.5 square miles. It is unclear, at this time, how much of the population growth occurred
within Collier County and within Lee County.
It was hoped that, at the MPOAC and the Florida Metropolitan Planning Partnership meetings
during the prior week, some basic questions would be answered, but they were not. The joint meeting with
Lee MPO that was tentatively scheduled to occur this fall will need to be moved up to occur earlier, as PL
distribution formulas need to be provided to the State and FHWA by October 2023. MPOs are required to
submit apportionment plans and boundary maps by January 2024. With this time frame, a joint meeting in
November would be difficult. An apportionment plan would need to address boundary issues, if shared by
two MPOs, and also contemplate voting member structures. Ms. McLaughlin requested that Mr. Scott
explain the background and issues he is aware of to the Board.
Mr. Scott stated that Collier MPO was created in the 1980s. At that time, there was a gap between
the urban areas. In the 2000 census, the urban areas came together around the Estero River area (U.S. 41
and Corkscrew Road). The urban area was named the Bonita Springs Urban Area because urban areas are
named after the largest city. Lee County's urban area was originally named the Fort Myers urban area.
Cape Coral became bigger, and the Lee County urban area is now called the Cape Coral Urban Area. The
Collier County urban area is now referred to as the Bonita Springs/Estero Urban Area.
Going back ten and twenty years, the MPOs would have received a letter from FDOT by this time
because the urban areas are contiguous and there are major differences in the two MPOs. The FDOT letter
would typically suggest combining the MPOs. In 2003 and 2013, Lee and Collier MPOs had joint meetings
regarding combining the MPOs. Both times, both MPOs entered resolutions that the MPOs did not want
to combine. As an aside but related matter, the Pinellas County State Senator and Chair of the Senate
Transportation Committee is putting forth legislation this year about consolidating MPOs. Depending upon
how far the proposed legislation goes, it would have an impact on the MPOs. On the east coast of Florida,
there is one large, urbanized area between Miami and Palm Beach. Those counties were able to get their
funding split by county lines. Mr. Scott estimates the population of Bonita, Estero and San Carlos Park
10
Packet Pg. 14
4.A.1
contained in the designated urban area for Collier County to be approximately 109,000, which would
represent funding allocations to Collier MPO instead of Lee MPO. With respect to apportionment, the new
population numbers impact membership for the jurisdictions based on that population. These issues will
need to be addressed by the MPOs. There are three potential solutions Mr. Scott is currently aware of (i)
consolidation; (ii) the Estero/Bonita Springs portion located in Lee County designated for Collier MPO
funding deals with Collier MPO instead of Lee MPO; or (iii) determine a way to get the funding allocated
at county boundaries.
Commissioner McDaniel commented that a joint meeting with Lee MPO would be needed sooner
rather than later. Ms. McLaughlin agreed. Mr. Scott pointed out that potential legislation would not get
signed until July 1. Ten or twenty years ago, there would have been a letter with guidance or suggestions
provided to the MPOs by this time. Mr. Scott suggested the potential for a joint meeting in late Spring. By
that time, the language of the proposed legislation should be known and, hopefully, Collier and Lee MPOs
will know more about the boundary issues and how to move forward. Commissioner McDaniel added
that legislation is seldom revised or changed after it comes out of the July session. The sooner Collier and
Lee MPOs have a joint meeting, the better poised they will be to address the issues. Ms. McLaughlin
responded that MPO Staff will bring a proposal forward when more is known about when to schedule the
joint meeting. Ms. McLaughlin would like to have joint meetings for TAC and CAC a month in advance
of a joint MPO Board meeting, if possible.
Ms. Scott stated that the Transportation Management Services Department is aware of the
forthcoming potential legislation. Ms. Scott has alerted the communications director and the director of
government and public affairs, and requested the proposed legislation be tracked. When any information
comes in, it will be provided to Ms. McLaughlin as soon as possible so that the MPO Board can be briefed.
Mr. Scott added that he inquired whether a letter to the MPOs setting forth suggestions or guidance would
be provided but did not receive an answer on whether a letter would or would not be provided. The MPOs
may want to provide a letter of their own setting forth how they would like to proceed.
Chair Folley requested Ms. McLaughlin to circle back with the MPO Board quickly on a potential
joint meeting. Ms. McLaughlin indicated she would and remarked that the issues are complex.

12. MEMBER COMMENTS
Commissioner McDaniel asked Ms. McLaughlin if she needed direction from the MPO Board,
sooner rather than later, to amend the LRTP to reflect the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative.
Ms. McLaughlin responded that she is tracking the Initiative; if approved by the legislature, it may trigger
the need to amend the LRTP. Commissioner McDaniel suggested that Ms. McLaughlin start looking at
amending the LRTP now to be proactive, as all or part of the legislation will likely be passed. The Initiative
contains significant improvements to congestion management and interchanges. Chair Folley stated that
the consensus of the Board was for Ms. McLaughlin to start working to amend the LRTP to reflect the
Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative.
Commissioner McDaniel thanked FDOT for the presentations provided.

Commissioner Kowal commented that the meeting was very informative.
Council Member Blankenship stated that at a City of Naples council meeting last month, staff
was requested to work on a comprehensive traffic study update of the Goodlette Frank Road and U.S. 41
and Four Corners intersections and the surrounding streets because there are so many redevelopment
projects going on, which have been looked at individually over the years, but have not been looked at
wholistically. The City would like the County and FDOT involved in the process to share data, analysis,
and potential recommendations.
Chair Folley thanked the MPO Board members for their support in his new role as Chair and
thanked Council Member Perry for his service as Chair over the past year.
Commissioner Saunders thank everyone for the information provided at the meeting.
Council Member Perry expressed appreciation for his role as Chair and congratulated Chair

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) held its regularly scheduled in -person meeting
on February 21, 2023; a quorum was achieved.
Agency Reports
• Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT):
o Gave a brief report on items from the prior meeting.
• MPO Director:
o Gave an update on a committee member's request to add sharrows (share the road bicycle
pavement signs) on Vanderbilt Drive between Vanderbilt Beach Road and 111' Avenue:
County Traffic Operations is reviewing the effectiveness of sharrows and has not yet made a
determination to use them in place of the Share the Road street signs on Vanderbilt Drive; there
is a sidewalk on the west side of the road and another one programmed for construction on the
east side in the near future; will re-evaluate the request for sharrows after the second sidewalk
is constructed.
Committee Actions
In response to a request made by Ms. Michelle Avola-Brown, Executive Director, Naples Pathways
Coalition (NPC), under Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda, the committee voted to
prioritize further study of the east/west connection between the Gordon River Greenway and the
new County Sports Complex at the earliest opportunity. The connection is included in the Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master Plan and the County could submit an alignment feasibility study in response
to the Call for Projects for new Congestion Management priorities, which the MPO plans to issue
in March.
Reviewed and Commented on draft Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Ordinance. The committee held
a lengthy discussion on the draft ordinance. Members expressed concern on the part of pedestrians
with motorized bicycles and other devices moving at high speeds on sidewalks. The question was
raised whether an ordinance is appropriate, or whether more public education is needed. Members
commented that exceptions to the ordinance would be needed where bike lanes and sidewalks are
not provided, and that there are locations where having to cross a busy street to travel with the flow
of traffic is more dangerous than riding against traffic. The committee voted to request another
month to review the draft ordinance. Members are to provide written comments to the MPO by
March 7' for inclusion in the March 21" agenda packet.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approve 2022 FDOT-MPO Joint Certification Statement
OBJECTIVE: For the MPO Board to approve the 2022 FDOT-MPO Joint Certification Statement.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) conducts an annual review of the
metropolitan transportation planning process for the Collier MPO with respect to Federal requirements. Each year,
MPO staff and FDOT staff meet to discuss the annual review and jointly compile the required documentation. This
year's review is based on calendar year 2022. (Attachment 1)
Highlights from this year's Joint Certification Review include:
• FDOT's Risk Assessment Percentage is 100%; the MPO's Level of Risk is Low (see Part 2, page 12).
• There are no Recommendations or Corrective Actions to be addressed (see Part 2, page 21).
Based on the joint review and evaluation and contingent upon MPO Board approval, FDOT and the Collier MPO
Chair sign the MPO Joint Certification Statement, which recommends that the Metropolitan Planning Process for
the Collier MPO be certified for another year. (Attachment 2) The certification package and Statement must be
submitted to FDOT's Central Office by no later than June 1.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A.

Purpose
Each year, the District and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) must jointly certify the
metropolitan transportation planning process as described in 23 C.F.R. &450.336. The joint
certification begins in January. This allows time to incorporate recommended changes into the
Draft Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The District and the MPO create a joint certification
package that includes a summary of noteworthy achievements by the MPO and, if applicable, a
list of any recommendations and/or corrective actions.
The certification package and statement must be submitted to Central Office, Office of Policy
Planning (OPP) no later than June 1.

Part 1 Section 1: MPO Overview
1. Does the MPO have up-to-date agreements such as the interlocal agreement that creates the
MPO, the intergovernmental coordination and review (ICAR) agreement; and any other
applicable agreements? Please list all agreements and dates that they need to be readopted.
The ICAR Agreement should be reviewed every five years and updated as necessary. Please
note that the ICAR Agreement template was updated in 2020.
Please Check: Yes ® No ❑
1) Interlocal Agreement for the Creation of Collier MPO 2/26/15. Staff conducted a 5-
year review in July 2020 in preparation for federal TMA review and determined update
not necessary given that FDOT has not updated the template since 3/2013.
2) Lease Agreement with Collier County. Updated 5/24/22, terminates 6/30/25.
3) Staff Services Agreement with Collier County. Updated 5/24/2022, terminates
6/30/25.
4) Lee/Collier Interlocal Agreement amended 3/20/2009, in force until terminated.
Staff prepared an update in 2019 that Collier MPO adopted but Lee MPO never
placed on agenda. Staff presented another revised update at the 10/07/21 Joint Lee -
Collier TAC/CAC meeting for review and comment. Collier MPO Board proposed a
revision at their 2/11/22 meeting to create a new regional collaborative subcommittee
including Charlotte County -Punta Gordo MPO. The Collier MPO Director presented
the proposal to a Joint Lee County/Charlotte County -Punta Gorda Board meeting on
2/18/2022, but it ultimately failed to gain support.
5) ICAR 11/25/2014. Staff conducted a review in July 2020 in preparation for federal
TMA review. Staff reviewed the 2020 FDOT update to the template and found that it was
non -substantive. We have asked FDOT and the MPOAC to jointly develop an updated
template that reflects current state and federal law as a necessary first step.
2. Does the MPO coordinate the planning of projects that cross MPO boundaries with the other
MPO(s)?
Please Check: Yes ❑ No ❑
The MPO coordinates with Lee MPO. We have an Interlocal Agreement in place that
assigns roles and responsibilities. Each MPO has voting membership on the other
MPO's TAC. Lee MPO also has voting membership on Collier MPO's CIVIC. We have
nonvoting membership on Lee's equivalent committee and have not sought voting
membership. We coordinated on roadway network alternatives and on the final Cost
Feasible roadway network in the development of both 2045 LRTPs where roads cross
County lines.

3. How does the MPOs planning process consider the 10 Federal Planning Factors (23 CFR
450.30E )?
Please Check: Yes ® No ❑
FAST Act Planning Factors are listed on p1-8 of the 2045 LRTP under Section 1-3
Federal and State Planning Requirements and again in Chapter 3 Goals and Objectives
(see p 3-1). Reflected in 2045 LRTP goals in Section 3-2 (p 3-3); Evaluation Criteria (p3-
4 to 3-10). Project Prioritization (table 3-1) and Appendix E Roadway Needs Evaluation
Matrix. In addition, the UPWP identifies tasks to be addressed over a two-year period.
The UPWP identifies the 10 planning factors and illustrates which task addresses each
factor. This is done in table format in the UPWP to ensure all 10 factors are being
considered. The MPO's TIP also lists the 10 planning factors in the Narrative component.
4. How are the transportation plans and programs of the MPO based on a continuing,
comprehensive, and cooperative process?
Please Check: Yes ® No ❑
The Continuous and Comprehensive aspects of the MPO's planning process are best
exemplified by Figure 7-1 Collier MPO Plans and Programs Timeline in the 2045 LRTP
p7-5 Chapter on Implementation. Figure 7-1 illustrates how the MPO's Bike-Ped Master
Plan, Congestion Management Process, Local Roads Safety Plan, Transit Development
Plan, and Transportation System Performance Report relate to and are incorporated into
the 2045 LRTP- Cost Feasible Plan, which leads into the TIP and the UPWP; all of which
are updated on a regular schedule.
The Cooperative process is exemplified by the MPO's Interlocal Agreement with Lee
MPO, active participation in CUTS, MPOAC, FMPP and other regional forums, and the
MPO's Public Participation Plan which lists planning partners, including state and federal
agencies, nonprofits, advocacy groups and includes an innovative tribal outreach and

Purpose
Each year, the District and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) must jointly certify the
metropolitan transportation planning process as described in 23 C.F.R. §450.336. The joint
certification begins in January. This allows time to incorporate recommended changes into the
Draft Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The District and the MPO create a joint certification
package that includes a summary of noteworthy achievements by the MPO and, if applicable, a
list of any recommendations and/or corrective actions.
The Certification Package and statement must be submitted to Central Office, Office of Policy
Planning (OPP) no later than June 1.

Certification Process
Please read and answer each question within this document.
Since all of Florida's MPOs adopt a new Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) annually,
many of the questions related to the TIP adoption process have been removed from this
certification, as these questions have been addressed during review of the draft TIP and after
adoption of the final TIP.
As with the TIP, many of the questions related to the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and
Long -Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) have been removed from this certification document, as
these questions are included in the process of reviewing and adopting the UPWP and LRTP.
Note: This certification has been designed as an entirely electronic document and includes
interactive form fields. Part 2 Section 10: Attachments allows you to embed any attachments to
the certification, including the MPO Joint Certification Statement document that must accompany
the completed certification report. Once all the appropriate parties sign the MPO Joint Certification
Statement, scan it and attach it to the completed certification in Part 2 Section 10: Attachments.
Please note that the District shall report the identification of and provide status updates of any
corrective action or other issues identified during certification directly to the MPO Board. Once the
MPO has resolved the corrective action or issue to the satisfaction of the District, the District shall
report the resolution of the corrective action or issue to the MPO Board.
The final Certification Package should include Part 1, Part 2, and any required attachments and
be transmitted to Central Office no later than June 1 of each year.

Risk Assessment Process
Part 2 Section 1: Risk Assessment evaluates the requirements described in 2 CFR §200.332 (b)-
Ue , also expressed below. It is important to note that FDOT is the recipient and the MPOs are the
subrecipient, meaning that FDOT, as the recipient of Federal -aid funds for the State, is responsible
for ensuring that Federal -aid funds are expended in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
(b) Evaluate each subrecipient's risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes,
regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of
determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring described in paragraphs (d)
and (e) of this section, which may include consideration of such factors as:
(1) The subrecipient's prior experience with the same or similar subawards;
(2) The results of previous audits including whether the subrecipient receives
a Single Audit in accordance with Subpart F—Audit Requirements of this
part, and the extent to which the same or similar subaward has been audited
as a major program;
(3) Whether the subrecipient has new personnel or new or substantially
changed systems; and
(4) The extent and results of Federal awarding agency monitoring (e.g., if the
subrecipient also receives Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding
agency).
(c) Consider imposing specific subaward conditions upon a subrecipient if
appropriate as described in §200.208.
(d) Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the
subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes,
regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward; and that subaward
performance goals are achieved. Pass -through entity monitoring of the subrecipient
must include:
(1) Reviewing financial and performance reports required by the pass -
through entity.
Office of Policy Planning
FDOT Joint Certification
Part 2 — FDOT District
9.A.1
525
POLICY PLANNING
12/22
(2) Following -up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes timely and
appropriate action on all deficiencies pertaining to the Federal award
provided to the subrecipient from the pass -through entity detected through
audits, on -site reviews, and written confirmation from the subrecipient,
highlighting the status of actions planned or taken to address Single Audit
findings related to the particular subaward.
(3) Issuing a management decision for audit findings pertaining to the Federal
award provided to the subrecipient from the pass -through entity as required
by §200.521.
(4) The pass -through entity is responsible for resolving audit findings
specifically related to the subaward and not responsible for resolving
crosscutting findings. If a subrecipient has a current Single Audit report
posted in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and has not otherwise been
excluded from receipt of Federal funding (e.g., has been debarred or
suspended), the pass -through entity may rely on the subrecipient's cognizant
audit agency or cognizant oversight agency to perform audit follow-up and
make management decisions related to cross -cutting findings in accordance
with section §200.513(a)(3)(vii). Such reliance does not eliminate the
responsibility of the pass -through entity to issue subawards that conform to
agency and award -specific requirements, to manage risk through ongoing
subaward monitoring, and to monitor the status of the findings that are
specifically related to the subaward.
(e) Depending upon the pass -through entity's assessment of risk posed by the
subrecipient (as described in paragraph (b) of this section), the following monitoring
tools may be useful for the pass -through entity to ensure proper accountability and
compliance with program requirements and achievement of performance goals:
(1) Providing subrecipients with training and technical assistance on
program -related matters; and
(2) Performing on -site reviews of the subrecipient's program operations;
(3) Arranging for agreed -upon -procedures engagements as described in
§200.425.

If an MPO receives a Management Decision as a result of the Single Audit, the MPO may be
assigned the high -risk level.
After coordination with the Office of Policy Planning, any of the considerations in 2 CFR §200.331
(b) may result in an MPO being assigned the high -risk level.
The questions in Part 2 Section 1: Risk Assessment are quantified and scored to assign a level of
risk for each MPO, which will be updated annually during the joint certification process. The results
of the Risk Assessment determine the minimum frequency by which the MPO's supporting
documentation for their invoices is reviewed by FDOT MPO Liaisons for the upcoming year. The

The Risk Assessment that is part of this joint certification has two main components — the
Certification phase and the Monitoring phase — and involves regular reviewing, checking, and
surveillance.
1. Certification phase: the first step is to complete this Risk Assessment during the joint
certification review, which runs from January 1 to June 1 (The red arrow in Figure 1). During
this 6-month period, a Risk Assessment is performed assessing the previous calendar year.
2. Monitoring phase: After the joint certification review has been completed, the Risk
Assessment enters the Monitoring phase, where the MPO is monitored for a 12-month
period starting on June 1 (The green arrow, Year 1 in Figure 1) and ending on June 1 of
the following year (The green arrow, Year 2 in Figure 1).
This process takes 18 months in total. On January 1 of each year, the new Certification phase will
begin, which will overlap with the previous year's Monitoring phase. Figure 1 shows the timeline
of Risk Assessment phases.

Please note: Below you will be required to identify any comments, recommendations, or findings. Comments and
recommendations are at the discretion of the District, but findings must be supported by documentation, and identify
corrections that must be made for the MPO to be reimbursed. Materially significant findings factor into the MPOs level of
risk, determined by the Risk Assessment in the Annual MPO Joint Certification.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Adopt FDOT's Pavement and Bridge (PM2) and System (PM3) Performance Targets for the National
Highway System
OBJECTIVE: For the Board to adopt Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Pavement and Bridge
(PM2) and System (PM3) Performance Targets for the National Highway System (NHS).
CONSIDERATIONS:
In September 2018, Collier MPO Board voted to support FDOT's initial Statewide Pavement and Bridge
Performance Targets (PM2) and System Performance Targets (PM3) for the first four-year federal performance
period for the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS consists of US 41/SR 45, I-75, SR 29 and CR
951/Collier Blvd. from 1-75 to US 41. (Attachment 1) Thus, FDOT is primarily responsible for maintaining NHS
roadways located within the MPO's jurisdiction, with the exception of CR 951..
FDOT has announced the Statewide targets for the second federal performance period - January 1, 2023 through
December 31, 2025. The new two- and four-year Statewide targets (Attachment 2) are the same as those initially
set by FDOT for the first performance period.
Collier MPO is required to take action again to either support the Statewide targets or establish targets of its own.
By supporting the Statewide targets, the MPO agrees to plan and program projects in the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) that are anticipated to make progress towards achieving the Statewide targets.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees voted to endorse
FDOT's PM2 and PM3 Performance Targets at their meetings held on February 27, 2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopt FDOT's PM2 and PM3 Performance Targets for the NHS.
