Secretary Nandam announced that Governor DeSantis signed a budget approved by the

meeting to find out if there were plans in place to bolster roads to accommodate the increased weight of
electric vehicles. Mr. Gaither said discussions and preparations for possible bills had commenced, but that
neither federal nor state sponsorship/companionship had been obtained. The question of whether it would
be handled at the federal or state level was still being considered. Regarding Chair McDaniel’s inquiry
about SR 29 and Oil Well Rd, FDOT had been working with Collier County Transportation Management
Services Department staff to assess growth expectations for two studies of the intersection; a lighting
justification study, which was expected to be completed by the end of July 2024, and a traffic signal
analysis, estimated to be completed by the end of August 2024. Mr. Gaither reported that the I-75 and SR
951 interchange project was scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2026, and that there had been
positive feedback for the Collier to Polk Regional Trail Master Plan at the five public meetings, which were
well attended.
Commissioner LoCastro asked Mr. Gaither about the status of road maintenance on the Collier
County exits I-75 exits.
Mr. Gaither said he was aware that there were road maintenance projects in the works and would
follow up with Commissioner LoCastro with details at a later date.

Ms. McLaughlin gave a reminder that Collier MPO would be receiving its quadrennial review by

during the review. She also mentioned that in light of the some of the questions that would be asked during

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan, Major Update
OBJECTIVE: For the MPO Board to ratify an amendment to the Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan
(TDSP), Major Update.
CONSIDERATIONS: A TDSP is a multi-year plan required annually by the Florida Commission for the
Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD). A Major Update to the TDSP is required every five years. The TDSP
contains development, service and quality assurance components related to the delivery of the Transportation
Disadvantaged (TD) Program. A Major Update includes a review of the Transportation Disadvantaged program
and policies. The TDSP is a requirement of the TD Planning Grant.
Collier County completed a TDSP Major Update in 2023 and the Board ratified the update at its December 8, 2023,
meeting.
MPO Staff has prepared an amendment to the TDSP Major to bring the following items current:
(i) Inclusion of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Rate Model for the TD program (in the body of the document
and in Appendix E). The Rate Model sets forth reimbursement rates that the CTD will provide to the
CTC for TD passenger service under the CTC’s Trip and Equipment Grant with the CTD. The initial
TDSP includes the FY 2024 Rate Model; and
(ii) Updating the Quality Assurance section to include the most recent CTC evaluation, which was ratified
by the MPO Board on June 14, 2024. The initial TDSP relies on LCB’s 2022 CTC Evaluation.
In accordance with the MPO’s Public Participation Plan, the TDSP amendment was made available for a 14-day
public comment period, which ended on September 4th. No public comments were received.
The MPO Board is asked to ratify the amendment to the TDSP.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The LCB approved the amendment to the TDSP at its September 4,
2024, meeting. The LCB previously approved the FY 2025 Rate Model at its March 6, 2024, meeting and the 2024
CTC Evaluation at its May 1, 2024, meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board ratify the amendment to the TDSP.

CoordinaƟon Contract EvaluaƟon Criteria
In its role as the CTC, Collier County is responsible for planning, coordinaƟon and implementaƟon of the
most cost‐effecƟve transportaƟon system possible within Collier County. Before entering a coordinaƟon
contract, Collier County analyzes local transportaƟon needs and available resources to ensure that TD
services are non‐duplicaƟve and can be provided in the most cost‐effecƟve manner by the proposed
coordinaƟon contractor. Collier County considers the capabiliƟes of a proposed coordinaƟon contractor to
comply with record keeping, safety, vehicle operaƟons, state and federal civil rights laws, etc. When
applicable, Collier County evaluates the past performance of the proposed coordinated provider before
entering another Memorandum of Understanding.
Cost/Revenue and AllocaƟon and Rate Structure JusƟficaƟon
In March 2023of 2024, the Collier MPO’s Local CoordinaƟng Board approved the TD service rates shown
in Table 28 below uƟlizing the Florida Commission for the Transporta Ɵon Disadvantaged 2023 Rate
CalculaƟon Worksheet. The Rate CalculaƟon Model is a tool uƟlized by the CTD to standardize the
comparison and approval of rates paid to coordinators throughout the State of Florida. The detailed Rate
Model worksheets are included in Appendix E.

During 2018, Collier County conducted an extensive fare structure evaluaƟon to analyze potenƟal fixed‐
route and paratransit fare changes, assess potenƟal ridership and revenue impacts, minimize adverse
impacts to low‐income and minority persons, and idenƟfy fare policy recommendaƟons.
The fare study involved a public outreach campaign involving rider intercept surveys, public workshops,
and the involvement of the County’s Public Transit Advisory CommiƩee. Based on the input received, the
majority (77%) of bus riders would support a fare increase if revenue is used to improve service frequency
and availability or to access new locaƟons. FiŌy percent of ADA riders supported a $0.50 fare increase and
56% of TD riders supported a fare increase of $0.25.
At the June 12, 2018, Board of County Commissioner’s MeeƟng a resoluƟon was adopted to implement
the following fare structure changes effecƟve October 1, 2018. The effecƟve date for student discount
programs is June 12, 2018.
During the making of this 2023 TDSP major update theThe fare structure that had been adopted on June
12, 2018, has been confirmed to be and is sƟll the most current fare structure for Collier Area Transit. Table

Quality Assurance
The Local CoordinaƟng Board (LCB) conducted the last evaluaƟon of the CTC in 2022the first half of 2024
for the period July 1, 20202022, through June 30, 20212023, uƟlizing the CTD’s QAPE/LCB CTC EvaluaƟon
Workbook. As a result, the following recommendaƟons were made:
The CTC’s eligibility screening process evaluates potential Fixed Route opportunities and educates
passengers on available options as appropriate for the individual’s travel needs consistent with
Strategy 2.1.4 of the TDSP. Discussion is still recommended between the LCB and the CTC to
determine an appropriate measure for increasing usage of public transit and the measure will be
added to the next TDSP update as deemed appropriateRegarding the CTC not meeting its On‐Time
Performance (OTP) goal of 90%:
o That the .
Status: Ongoing. The CTC continues to work with the LCB to determine if a measure to annually
record passengers transferring from paratransit to fixed route can be derived, and if so, establish
an acceptable goal.
o The paratransit system is an essential service that continues to provide mobility options to
the citizenskeep LCB apprised of the status of Collier County. The system was impacted greatly
due to a driver shortage which affected all areasdelivery of the service. A contract amendment
was approved to increase driver wages. Since its implementation it has proven to be
successful. With the hiring of the new drivers, the service level has started to improve.
Work/medical on time performance has shown consistent improvement over the past year.
It is recommended that the CTC continue to monitor overall on time performance and
work/medical on time performance and report on a quarterly basis to the LCB. With the cost
of fuel increasing and the cost of labor increasing, it is expected that the cost per mile and per
passenger trip have increased. The CTC should continue to monitor performance measures
and provide the LCB information regarding measures being implemented to increase
performance for all TDSP standardsgrant awarded paratransit vehicles and OTP.
That the
o Status: The CTC continues to monitor and strive to meet the OTP goal of 90%.
o That if the CTC’s overall OTP continues to consistently be 10% or more below the goal of 90%
by December 2024, the CTC brings the issue, along with any proposed strategies to improve
reliability of serviceOTP that it may have, to the LCB for direction in March 2025.
Status: The CTC has reported that its OTP is being impacted by increased demand during peak
hours, staffing shortages for drivers and dispatchers, rising number of TD trip requests, increased
traffic congestion, and limited paratransit vehicle availability. The CTC’s operator has acquired
eight vans with wheelchair lifts. The CTC is finalizing the process to obtain awarded grant funds
for the purchase of vehicles by FDOT, with the expectation of receiving some in FY 2025. The CTC
is continually evaluating routes to improve efficiency and minimize delays. The CTC’s operator is
working to fill paratransit driver vacancies.

Regarding the CTC’s accidents, as reported in the FY 22/23 AOR, as 62% higher than its goal of 1.2
per 100,000 miles, that the CTC report back to LCB regarding the efforts it is taking to reduce the
number of accidents, as well as updates as to the rate of accidents. If the CTC is unable to reduce
the number of accidents from the current rate of 62% higher than its goal of 1.2 per 100,000 miles
by December 2024, that the CTC bring the issue, along with any proposed strategies to improve
the accident rate that it may have, to the LCB for direction in March 2025.
Status: Thepassengers [Ongoing]. CTC’s operator is providing additional safety training, and the
CTC will report back to LCB on its progress in reducing accidents. If the accident rate remains
above the target by December 2024, the CTC will present additional proposed strategies for
improvement to the LCB for direction.

Development Plan
Introduction to the Service Area
Background of the Transportation Disadvantaged Program
Florida's Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) program was created in 1979 and re-enacted in 1989. The
1989 act created the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Commission (currently the Florida Commission
for the Transportation Disadvantaged) to enhance local participation in the planning and delivery of
coordinated transportation services through the creation of local coordinating boards (LCBs) and
Community Transportation Coordinators (CTCs). Local planning organizations assist the Commission and
Local Coordinating Boards (LCBs) in implementing the TD program in designated service areas.
CTCs are business units or local public transportation providers that are responsible for providing or
arranging the delivery of transportation services to the TD population. TD are “those persons who because
of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves or purchase
transportation and are, therefore, dependent on others to obtain access to health care, employment,
education, shopping, social activities, or other life-sustaining activities or children who are handicapped
or high-risk or at-risk as defined in s. 411.202, Florida Statutes.” Section 427.011, Florida Statutes.
The designated CTC may provide all trips as a sole source, or the CTC may provide some trips and
subcontract some (partial brokerage). The CTC may also function as a complete brokerage subcontracting
all trips to approved operators.
The Commission provides financial support to the CTCs utilizing the Transportation Disadvantaged Trust
Fund. Funds are for the purpose of reimbursing the CTC for a portion of the cost of each passenger trip
provided to eligible non-sponsored transportation disadvantaged individuals, or for equipment to be
utilized in the designated service area.
The Trust Fund is appropriated by the Legislature on an annual basis. The Commission then allocates a
portion of the funds to each of Florida CTC utilizing a formula that considers the following:
• Performance - passenger trips and passenger miles
• Need – percent of the population that are seniors, persons with disabilities, or low income.
• Equity – equal share to each county
In its role as the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), the Collier Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) is responsible for recommending a CTC for Collier County, which it first did in 1999
when it recommended that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) serve as the CTC. The
BCC accepted the recommendation in 1999 and in subsequent years. More recently, in March 2023, the
Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged approved the Collier MPO’s recommendation
to re-designate the Collier BCC as the CTC for the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2028.
CTC Designation and History
In August 1999, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Public Transportation Development Plan
(PTDP) and agreed to become the governing agency for transit in Collier County. The Public Transportation
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 43 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |8
Operating Plan (PTOP) was adopted by the MPO in December 2000 and by the Collier County Board of
County Commissioners in January 2001.
At the time of its governing agency designation (by what was then known as the Naples MPO),
transportation services in Collier County consisted of privately operated trolleys that catered to tourists
during the winter season in Naples and Marco Island and a network of paratransit providers serving the
transportation disadvantaged.
The County introduced its first fixed route service in 2001 and currently operates 16 fixed routes,
Americans with Disabilities (ADA) paratransit, and TD services.
As previously described, The Collier County BCC has served as the CTC for Collier County since it became
the transit agency governing body in 1999. Working on behalf of the BCC, the Collier County Public Transit
and Neighborhood Enhancement Division manages and coordinates all operational services.

Service Area Profile/Demographics
Collier County is located on the west coast of Florida. It is bordered by Broward and Dade Counties to the
East, Lee, and Hendry Counties to the North, and Monroe County to the South. As measured by land area,
Collier County is the largest County in Florida and the 18th largest by total population. Naples, Everglades
City, and Marco Island are the County’s three incorporated areas.
Land Use
As shown in the green areas in Figure 2 below, a significant portion of Collier County is protected
conservation land, the largest area being Big Cypress National Preserve. As a result, commercial and
residential development is generally located along the coastline, in the Northwestern, and Central Western
portions of the County, while much of the North Central area surrounding Immokalee is designated
agricultural.
Dense environments such as those seen in Western Collier County are generally conducive to the provision
of public transportation services. The desirability of these coastal locations has increased housing prices
forcing many residents to live further from employment, healthcare, and other services, which strains the
County’s transportation systems.
Population/Composition
Table 1 below shows population estimates, growth, and density for Collier County as compared to the
state of Florida. Between the 2010 and 2020 decennial census years, Collier County’s population growth
grew by 16.94 percent, which was slightly greater than the population growth rate for the state of Florida.
Collier County’s growth rate has continued to exceed the statewide rate by a couple of percentage points
through 2022 according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates.

Disability Characteristics
Figure 5 on the following page displays the population of Collier County residents who are living with a
known disability in each of Collier County’s U.S Census block groups. The distribution generally
corresponds with density patterns for residents ages 65 years and older. Several block groups are in the
northern portion of Collier County bordering Lee County and East of I-75. There is also a concentrated
amount of representation for the disabled population in the central, urbanized area of Collier County and
in the Naples and Marco Island areas.

Employment Characteristics
As shown in Table 4, Collier County has an unemployment rate of 2.2 percent which is slightly lower than
the rate seen across the State of Florida. The unemployment rate for Collier County along with the State
of Florida have seen slight improvement in this category since last reported in 2018, when the
unemployment rate was recorded at 3.1 percent and 3.4 percent respectively.

Largest Employers
As shown in Table 5, Collier County’s largest employer is Publix Supermarkets. Other employers that have
a large presence in Collier County provide and specialize in a diverse group of services such as
retail/grocery, government, hospitality, and manufacturing.

Figure 6 on the following page displays the employment characteristics of Collier County’s workforce as it
relates to the industry sectors. The top industry sectors in Collier County are professional and business
service, trade/transportation/utilities, and financial activities which include approximately 25.4, 15.1, and
14.1 percent respectively for the employment of Collier County’s residents. An increasing demand during
the seasonal months in Collier County can prove to become challenging to meet the mobility needs of
many residents that depend on the hospitality and retail sectors. These sectors often experience a surge
due to the increasing demand as part-time residents of Collier County return during this period. Similarly,
workers in the healthcare and education sector often travel during off-peak hours to widely dispersed
locations. For example, Collier County’s fourth largest employer, Collier County School District, has
approximately 73 Schools dispersed around the County.

Housing Classification and Patterns
As previously described, a large portion of Collier County consists of protected land, so housing has largely
been concentrated in the area west of Collier Blvd (CR 951) until recently. Growth is occurring more rapidly
in the area east of Collier Blvd, including Golden Gate Estates, Ave Maria, and the Rural Lands Stewardship
Area, where housing costs are lower but remain unaffordable for many residents.
Employment remains concentrated west of Collier Blvd. Due to the desirability of coastal property, land
values, and high housing costs continue to pose a challenge to area employers who report difficulty hiring
and retaining employees due to a lack of affordable housing in the area. A 2017 study by the Urban Land
Institute (ULI) and the County’s 2017 Community Housing Plan reported that two out of five households
in Collier County were cost-burdened (paying more than 30% of income toward housing) and one out of
five were severely cost burdened (pay more than 50% of income toward housing). Neither the 2017 ULI
study nor the County’s 2017 Community Housing Plan has been updated; however, there is a growing
awareness that the lack of affordable housing in the region has worsened since the height of the COVID-
19 pandemic (2019-2021) and housing costs have increased following the devastation caused by Hurricane
Ian in 2022. The lack of affordable housing impacts a significant number of the County’s employees,
including those in public safety, health care, education, service workers, and entry/mid-level professionals.
Also of significant concern are residents who are low to moderate-income seniors, and very low-income
(transportation disadvantaged) residents, many of whom are particularly reliant on public transportation
for access to health care and other life-sustaining activities.
Education Profiles
In addition to Collier County colleges and universities listed in Table 7 below, there are several technical
training institutions and programs that feature curriculums focused on a specialization ranging from
aerospace, computer science, early childhood education, auto repair, and accounting to name a few.
Technical training is available at Lorenzo Walker Technical College located in Naples and the northern part
of the county is served by Bethune Education Center and Immokalee Technical College.
Table 7: Names and Locations of Local Colleges and Universities
Table 8 displays the educational attainment of Collier County residents. While 1.3 percent of residents
have less than a 9th-grade education as compared to the state average, approximately 6.4 percent more
have a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree than the state average.

state average. In comparison to the 2012-2016 5-year estimates, Collier County commuters utilized public
transportation less by two percent and it is currently the most underutilized mode of transportation as
shown in the table below. The decline coincides with the COVID pandemic, during which public
transportation ridership declined nationally and working from home became more prevalent. Collier
County experienced a 2.9 percent increase in the number of workers who reported working from home in
2021 compared to the 7.3 percent of workers in the 2012-2016 timeframe.

Historical Tradition
Collier County was created during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. Originally part of Lee County, Collier
County was named for Barron Collier, a wealthy New York executive who agreed to build the Tamiami
Trail for favorable consideration from the legislature to have a county named after him. The Tamiami Trail
began to change the rugged wilderness area and opened the area’s agriculture and resort potential.
To this day, agriculture and resort/tourism activities continue to play an important role in the County’s
economy. Over one-third of the nation’s tomatoes are grown in Immokalee, as well as significant amounts
of other vegetables and citrus. The western portion of the County, commonly referred to as the Paradise
Coast, is known for its beautiful beaches and artistic and cultural activities making it a popular vacation
destination.

Government and Institutional Descriptions
Collier County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners consisting of five elected officials. It is one
of the largest counties in Florida with three incorporated cities including the City of Naples, Marco Island,
and Everglades City. Marco Island is the largest in terms of land area followed by Naples and Everglades
City. See Figure 8 on the following page:
Figure 8: Collier County Jurisdictional Boundaries
As shown in Table 13, According to the U.S Census Bureau in 2020 the most populated of three
jurisdictional areas is the City of Naples with an estimated population of 19,115, followed by Marco Island
with an estimated population of 15,760. Everglade City remains the smallest jurisdiction in Collier County
with an estimated population of 352. The Unincorporated areas of Collier County account for
approximately 90.6 percent of the countywide population.

In addition to the fixed route, paratransit, and TD services operated by Collier Area Transit, there are
numerous privately operated transportation providers in the County. Appendix A includes a 2023 inventory
of known private transportation providers. In late 2015, the County became the second County in Florida
to eliminate its “vehicle for hire” regulations. As a result, Collier County no longer issues licenses to
transportation companies, allowing anyone with a driver’s license to operate vehicles for hire, which
effectively opened the door for ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft to offer for-hire services. Due
to the deregulation and the proprietary nature of transportation network company data, it is impossible
to estimate the total number of private providers operating “public” transportation in the County. In
addition to the identified private transportation providers, however, there are many known transportation
providers (primarily private non-profits) that operate services specifically for their clients, who in many
cases, are transportation-disadvantaged individuals. Examples include:
• United Way
• National Runaway Switchboard
• Catholic Charities
• Seniors Helping Seniors of Southwest Florida
• St. Vincent de Paul Society
• Sunrise of Southwest Florida
• Easter Seals Florida, Inc.
• Collier County Veterans Services
• Hope Health Care
• David Lawrence Center
• The Salvation Army
• Boys & Girls Club of Collier County
Beginning in 2012, Medical Transportation Management, Inc. (MTM) began management of Non-
Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) for the state’s Medicaid program in Collier County. MTM
coordinates transportation to and from medical appointments for Collier County residents who rely on the
service.
Sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Commute Connector is the coordinator
of a variety of programs and services to assist commuters who travel to, from, and within Collier County.
Although not a direct operator of transportation services, Commute Connector conducts employer and
individual outreach to help inform individuals about available transit options, provides carpool and
vanpool formation assistance, and incentivizes the use of alternative mode options by offering an
Emergency Ride Home Program.

In the years 2018-2019, Collier County performed at its highest levels in all measures but experienced a
downward trend as the COVID-19 Pandemic reached its peak level in 2020.
CAT Connect struggled with operational issues in 2021 due mostly to driver shortage issues. Operator
wages were increased, and more staff was hired to provide services and increase capacity as ridership
increased to nearly pre-pandemic levels in 2022. Accidents per 100,000 miles slightly exceeded the annual
target of 1.2 in 2022, with an estimated 1.36 per 100,000 miles.

CTC Peer Review Analysis
In this section, the demographic characteristics of Collier County were compared to those of peer
Community Transportation Coordinators in Florida. In addition to a comparison of demographic
characteristics, the review compared performance measures within the Transportation Disadvantaged
Program. Collier County ’s peers were selected based on similarities in the following four categories:
• System size (measured in terms of annual TD ridership and number of TD passengers served)
• Operating environment (urban service area designation)
• Organization type (county government)
• Network type (partial brokerage or complete brokerage)
The six counties that were selected for the CTC peer review were Bay, Charlotte, Escambia, Manatee,
Okaloosa, and Pasco Counties. Although these CTCs are not identical to Collier Area Transit, they generally
share similar demographics and systemic characteristics and are operated by county governments in urban
services areas as shown in Table 15.

Table 16 contains information for each of the six peer counties including total population, potential
transportation disadvantage population, population density, median age, percentage of individuals
below the poverty level, median household income, and percentage of households with no access to a
vehicle.
Table 16: Demographic Comparison of Peer CTCs
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, 2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates

Table 17 shows that Collier County is above the peer group mean in total county population, potential TD
population, median age, and median household income. Collier County is below the average in the
number of individuals below the poverty level and percent of households with no access to a vehicle.
When reviewing the data and comparing Collier County to its peers, it is important to consider the
population density is significantly less compared to the group of peer counties. This could significantly
affect the relative efficiency of the system due to trips of greater distances for fewer individuals.

Peer Comparison: Performance Measures
Peer performance measures for FY 2022 as displayed in Table 18 we calculated for each of the CAT’s per
CTCs. Table 19 shows that Collier County has 7 percent fewer vehicles than its peer systems and is
significantly higher than the average of the peer group for the number of passenger trips. Collier County
remains to have averages higher than its peers for the total vehicle and revenue miles. With Collier County
being one of the larger counties in the state of Florida it can be expected that Collier County would average
15.5 percent more miles traveled per trip than its respective peer systems. Collier County was 17.5 and
9.7 percent higher than its peers for cost per paratransit and cost per total mile respectively. Additionally,
Collier County was also higher than the peer CTC in the accidents per 100,00 vehicle miles by 44.2 percent.

Needs Assessment
According to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, the population of Collier County will increase
by an estimated 13 percent between 2021 and 2030 from an estimated population of 382,680 to a
projected population of 436,900. As compared to the average of other Florida counties, Collier County
also has approximately 11 percent more residents ages 65 years and older (with a corresponding rate of
disabilities). With the population increases and the demographic characteristics of the current population,
the “potential” annual demand for transportation disadvantages services is estimated to increase by
approximately 137,000 annual trips over the next five years (from 1,517,410 in 2023 to 1,653,937 in 2028)
as described in the TD population forecasting section.
Historically, public transportation funding in Collier County has remained relatively constant and while
there are no firm future commitments from its funding partners CAT anticipates it will be able to maintain
existing levels of service with only minor planning and capital improvements possible.
Following input received from public, private, human service, and nonprofit transportation providers and
public stakeholders, projects that will directly benefit the transportation disadvantaged have been

identified as priorities if additional funding becomes available are shown below. Additional details on
estimated project costs and associated initiatives are described in the implementation schedule section
of this report.
1) Secure funds necessary for vehicle replacement and expansion
2) Enhance accessibility to bus stops to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
3) Construct bus shelters & amenities (bike rack, bench, trash can, etc.)
4) Extend Service Hours on existing routes
5) Reduce headways on select routes
6) Implement new Collier County Lee/Collier Inter-County Connection
Forecasts of the Transportation Disadvantaged Population
Forecasts of the TD population are required by the CTD for major TDSP updates. The CTD recommends a
tool developed for the CTD in 2015 that utilizes data from a variety of the most currently available sources
to predict demand in the future. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS)
and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), The Bureau of Economic and Business
Research County Population Projections, and the National Household Travel Survey and fixed route bus
coverage are examples of the data utilized. These sources help capture economic trends, population
growth, and the changing demographic composition of the population such as aging baby boomers and
the associated increases in disabilities.
It is important to note the tool only quantifies potential TD demand in the geography analyzed and trends
in potential utilization over time. Other factors such as the quality of available transportation services or
other unique community characteristics may impact actual service utilization. Some who qualify for TD
services may find it preferrable to rely on family or friends for transportation needs, as opposed to relying
on public transportation. The relative affluence of Collier County’s residents, as another example, may
mean that actual demand may be lower than potential demand. Senior citizens who qualify for TD services
based on their age may be able to afford other transportation alternatives such as taxis as compared to
residents of another county with a senior population of similar size that is less affluent.
Following is a summary of several of the key factors and data analysis steps used to arrive at the TD
demand estimates for Collier County.
Utilizing the 2021 U.S Census American Community Survey information (the most current data available)
the population estimates for the TD population are shown below in Table 20. As defined by the CTD, the
category I TD Population consists of all disabled, elderly, low-income, and children who are high risk or at
risk.
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 75 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |40
Table 20: TD Population Estimates
To ensure individuals who fall into two or more categories (e.g., low-income and disabled) are not counted
twice, the overlapping population must be eliminated as shown in Figure 28 below.
Figure 28: Category I TD Composition
Ideally, comparisons of disability estimates should be made using the same survey information,
geographic parameters, and disability definitions. Because the severity of an individual’s disability is not
captured in the ACS data, particularly as it relates to the need for specialized transportation, the 2020 U.S.
Census Bureau’s SIPP is used for the next step in the demand estimates. The rates for those who report a
severe disability, or those who have a “critical need” for transportation based on their disability status,
are applied to the disability rates reported in the ACS as shown below.

the next step of the demand methodology. The NHTS collects in-depth information at the individual and
household levels about travel patterns including, but not limited to, trip purpose, mode, vehicle
availability, and travel time. After applying the NHTS trip rates to the TD population in Collier County, there
is an estimated potential demand of 4,020 trips per day for the critical need population as shown in Table
22.

By using population forecasts prepared by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research and applying
the changes to the TD population and trip rate estimates previously described, Table 23 displays the future
potential demand for critical need transportation in Collier County through 2031.
Methodology
Forecast for the TD population were derived from the utilization of the tool referenced above in the
previous section. The forecasting spreadsheet tool requires input of various data such as population data
from the serviced area, operating days for the fixed route transit service, and the percent transit coverage
of the selected service area.
To forecast the TD population for Collier County the following assumptions were made:
1. Last year of census data used: 2021 U.S Census American Community Survey 5-year Estimates
2. Percentage of population that has access to fixed route transit: 81 Percent
3. The number of annual service days: 365 days
To determine the percentage of the Collier County population that has access to fixed route transit the
following method was performed. Utilizing ArcGIS software, a map was created by uploading Collier
County ’s Population TAZ data and using this as the base layer for the map. In addition to the population
layer, CAT’s fixed route transit system shape file was obtained through FDOT ’s TBEST Program. The file had
included the transit routes and stops for the fixed route system.
Once the following two layers were uploaded into the map the fixed route transit layer was then overlayed
over the population layer and buffered 0.75 miles. By buffering the Transit routes three quarters of a mile
this is assuming the population that falls inside that boundary has access as the outside does not to the
fixed transit routes and therefore will not be considered. The described steps outlined above are displayed
below in Figure 29.

Figure 29: GIS map showing population and buffered fixed routes
To now determine the percentage of the population to whom had access the following steps were taken.
By using the Geoprocessing tool “Clip” in ArcGIS the buffer zone layer which was just created in the last
step was now clipped from the population layer which removed all other population data from the overall
map that lied outside the buffer layer boundary. The following steps described are displayed below in
Figure 30.

Figure 30: GIS map showing clipped area of population inside buffered zone
Lastly, with the map completed it was now able to determine the percentage of population that had access
to the fixed rout transit in Collier County. The residential household population in Collier County per the
Population TAZ shape file that was implemented recorded 368,989 residents as seen in Figure 31. The
recorded amount of Collier County residents within the 0.75-mile boundary that was created was
determined to be 300,390 residents as shown in Figure 32.

TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |45
Figure 31: Residential population data for Collier County population TAZ shapefile
Figure 32: Residential population data for Collier County residents inside buffered zone
The 300,390 residents who are within the three-quarter mile boundary were then divided by the initial
population of 368,989 residents. To find percentage of access to fixed transit routes the quotient was
then multiped by 100 to determine the final percentage of 81.4 percent.
Once these three assumptions were made and the required population data had been input into the
forecasting spreadsheet tool, the following estimates were produced and are displayed in Tables 20-23.
Barriers to Coordination
Like other agencies across the state and throughout the nation, limited resources (both personnel and
financial) pose significant challenges to transportation providers. In Collier County, the large size and
diversity of the County further exasperates these challenges.
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 81 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |46
The lack of affordable housing near employment opportunities and other essential services results in the
need for more geographically dispersed and more costly public transportation services. Transportation
providers must strike a careful balance between implementing enhancements to core services which may
be more financially productive versus providing life sustaining services for the transportation
disadvantaged who often live in different political jurisdictions outside core service areas.
The Collier MPO is responsible for coordinating multimodal transportation planning across jurisdictional
boundaries through the development of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and other associated
plans and studies. In the face of declining state and federal revenues, the challenge is even greater. Collier
County contributes a significant amount of local funding towards meeting the demand for new roads,
capacity improvements on existing facilities and supporting public transit and paratransit services.
The size of Collier County contributes to geographic dispersion, demographic diversity, and public
engagement challenges as well. Overcoming these barriers demands a collaborative approach involving
local authorities, public agencies, community organizations, and stakeholders to develop innovative
strategies that enhance accessibility, bridge service gaps, and ensure equitable transportation options for
all residents in Collier County.

Operations
Types, Hours, and Days of Service
Collier Area Transit operates fixed route, ADA, and paratransit services (CAT Connect) seven days per week
excluding major holidays. The hours of operation for fixed route service vary by route, but some routes
start as early as approximately 4:00 a.m. and end as late as 8:00 p.m.
Reservations can be made for CAT Connect between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Saturday. Same-day service is not available, but trips may be scheduled up to two weeks in advance, or as
late as 5:00 p.m. the day before service is needed.
CAT Connect drivers are trained to help those who require assistance to and from the vehicle. They will
not enter a person’s home or a person’s room at a living facility, nor will they go above the first floor of a
multi-family residence.
Subscription paratransit service is available when a customer regularly travels to and from the same
destination two or more times per week and group trips (four or more passengers with the same trip origin
or destination) are provided at a reduced rate.
Eligibility
CAT Connect is designed to serve those who have no other means of transportation and qualify as ADA
eligible (those with a physical or mental impairment that prevents the use of the fixed route bus service)
or Transportation Disadvantaged (individuals who because of a mental or physical impairment, income
status or age are unable to transport themselves). CAT Connect is operated during the same hours as the
fixed route service. Those with an origin and destination within three-quarters of a mile of a CAT fixed
route are eligible for ADA services and those with an origin or destination outside of the ADA service area
may be eligible for Transportation (TD) services.

8:00am until 5:00pm. If calling after hours, on the weekend and/or on a holiday, please follow voice mail
instructions and leave your name and trip information on the voice mail. Someone will return your call to
confirm your reservation.
Passengers approved for Paratransit service are required to book their reservation (through the app or by
phone) no later than the day before the requested trip, or up to two weeks in advance. Same day service
is not available. It is permissible under ADA regulations for reservations staff to negotiate the requested
pick-up time within a one-hour window before or after the passenger’s requested pick-up time. For TD
trips, due to the size of the County, the pick-up time may be within a two-hour window before or after the
passenger’s requested pick-up time.
CAT Connect understands that because paratransit service requires trips to be scheduled in advance,
passengers may have to reschedule or cancel a trip. CAT Connect understands that passengers may
sometimes miss scheduled trips or timely cancel trips for reasons that are beyond their control. However,
to maintain an efficient system, a policy for managing passengers who repeatedly miss scheduled trips or
fail to timely cancel trips has been developed. This policy has been developed with consideration to the
frequency of use by passengers and the no-show/late cancellation system average. The following
information explains CAT Connect’s no-show policy.
Definitions
No-show
A no-show is defined as the fail ure of a passenger to appear to board the vehicle for a scheduled trip. This
presumes the vehicle arrives at the prescribed pick-up location within the pick-up time and the passenger
is not present for the appointment or fails to respond within five (5) minutes of the vehicle’s arrival time
within the 30-minute pick up window.
Late Cancellation
A late cancellation is defined as failure to cancel a trip 2 hours or more before the scheduled pick-up time,
including a cancellation made at the door (a refusal to board a vehicle that has arrived within the pick-up
window).
No-Shows Due to Operator Error or to Circumstances beyond a Rider’s Control
Passengers will not be assessed a no-show or late cancellation when it has been found that the missed
trips occurred due to an error of CAT Connect personnel. These types of errors include:
• Trips placed on the schedule in error
• Pick-ups scheduled at the wrong pick-up location
• Drivers arriving and departing before the pick-up window begins
• Drivers arriving late (after the end of the pick-up window)
• Drivers arriving within the pick-up window, but departing without waiting the required 5 minutes
Trips that are missed due to situations beyond a passenger’s control that may prevent a timely notification
are not counted towards no-shows or cancellations. The following are examples of such situations:
• Medical emergency
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 91 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |56
• Family emergency
• Sudden illness or change in condition
Passengers are encouraged to contact a CAT Connect Customer Service Representative to inform them of
these situations regardless of the time of the notification so that the excused missed trip can be
appropriately recorded.
Policy for Handling Subsequent Trips Following No-shows
When a passenger fails to show up for a scheduled trip, the driver should radio dispatch and advise them
of the no-show. Dispatch attempts to call the passenger and reminds the driver to wait five (5) minutes to
ensure that the passenger will not be present. The no-show is recorded in the system and any return trip
for the same day that was scheduled is also canceled unless the passenger calls to indicate that the return
trip should not be canceled. The courtesy cancellation of the return trip is performed to avoid charging
the passenger multiple no-shows on the same day and increasing the no-show trip count. Passengers are
strongly encouraged to cancel any subsequent trips they no longer need. A confirmation number will be
provided with all cancellations and passengers are encouraged to retain the confirmation number for
verification of their call.
Suspension Policies for a Pattern or Practice of Excessive No-shows and Late Cancellations
CAT Connect reviews all recorded no-shows and late cancellations to ensure accuracy before recording
them in a passenger’s account. Each verified no-show or late cancellation consistent with the above
definitions counts as one penalty point. Passengers will be subject to suspension after they meet all the
following conditions:
• Accumulate three penalty points in a six (6) calendar month period (January to June & June to
December)
• Have “no-showed” or “late canceled” at least five percent of the passenger’s booked trips for the
month.
A passenger will be subject to suspension only if both the number of penalty points is reached and the
percentage of trips deemed no-shows is met. CAT Connect will notify passengers by telephone after they
have accumulated one penalty point and they will be advised that they are subject to suspension should
they accumulate two additional penalty points within the six (6) month period consistent with the criteria
listed in this section of the policy above.
All suspension notices include a copy of this policy and a grievance/appeal policy that details how to appeal
suspensions.
Suspensions begin five days after the decision has been determined, ensuring the passenger is notified by
telephone and letter. Suspensions will be held in abeyance if the passenger timely files an appeal of the
suspension. The first violation in a calendar month triggers a warning telephone call but no suspension.
Subsequent violations result in the following suspensions:
• Second violation: Second warning letter and phone call
• Third violation: [7-day] suspension; Notification will be by telephone and letter
• Third violation: [14-day] suspension; Notification will be by telephone and letter
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 92 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |57
• Fourth violation and subsequent violations: [30-day] suspension; Notification will be by telephone
and letter
Each letter will specify the basis of the proposed penalty (e.g., Mr. Smith scheduled trips for 8:00 a.m. on
May 15th, 2:00 p.m. on June 3rd, 9:00 a.m. on June 21st, and 9:20 p.m. on July 10th, and on each occasion,
the vehicle appeared at the scheduled time and Mr. Smith was nowhere to be found) and set forth the
proposed suspension (e.g., Mr. Smith would not receive service for 14 days).
Policy for Disputing Specific No-Shows or Late Cancellations
Passengers wishing to dispute specific no-shows or late cancellations must do so within five business days
of receiving a phone call or letter. Passengers should contact the CAT Connect operations center at 239-
252-7272, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to explain the circumstance and request
the removal of the no-show or late cancellation.
Policy for Appealing Proposed Suspensions
Passengers wishing to appeal suspensions under this policy have the right to file an appeal request, which
must be in writing by letter or via email. Passengers must submit written appeal requests within 15
business days of the date of the suspension letters. Passengers who miss the appeal request deadline will
be suspended from CAT Connect on the date listed on the suspension notice.
All suspension appeals follow the CAT Connect grievance/appeal policy.
Trip Prioritization
Trips funded by the TD Trust fund are prioritized based on the Local Coordinating Board’s policy. Trips are
based on trip efficiency, seating availability, and funding availability. As shown below, medical trips have
the highest priority followed by employment and educational trips. Recreational trips will be
accommodated when possible.
Priority 1 – Medical
Priority 2 – Employment
Priority 3 – Education
Priority 4 – Social (agency-related activities)
Priority 5 - Nutritional
Priority 6 – Group Recreation
Priority 7 – Personal Business
ADA trips are provided without prioritization and cannot be denied. Additionally, trips that are provided
through the Federal Transit Administration’s Section 5311 funding program must be open to the public
and may not be prioritized.
Transportation Operators and Coordination Contractors
At the time of this TDSP Major Update, Collier County is under contract with MV Transportation to provide
operations and administrative services for its fixed route and paratransit system as shown in Table 25 .

Public Transit Utilizations
As shown in Table 27 , CAT fixed route ridership has declined over the past five years which remains
consistent with trends seen across the State of Florida where fixed route bus ridership experienced a sharp
decline from 2020 into 2021. Though signs of improvement after the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic
as totals are slowly rebounding.
Table 27: Fixed Route Ridership
School Bus Utilizations
No School Buses are utilized in the coordinated system
Vehicle Inventory
An inventory of CAT’s paratransit fleet is included in Appendix C. The inventory identifies vehicle type,
model year, accessibility features, and mileage.
FDOT policy stipulates that vehicles are eligible for replacement based on both the useful life in years and
the useful life in miles unless there is a compelling reason to replace the vehicle earlier due to excessive
maintenance costs or other special circumstances. CAT plans for its future replacement needs, future
mileage projections, anticipated vehicle delivery dates, and funding availability will need to be carefully
estimated to determine when vehicles will be eligible for replacement based on the new policy.
System Safety Plan Certification
CAT’s System Safety Plan Certification is included in Appendix D.
Inter-County Services
Introduced in 2011, CAT’s LinC route provides inter-county service between Collier and Lee Counties. Due
to its success, a secondary route inter-county connection has been identified by the Collier MPO as one of
its unfunded priorities. A Regional Service and Regional Fare Study is underway to evaluate the prospect
of implementing additional regional bus service between Collier and Lee County. The study is expected to
be completed in the first half of 2024.
Emergency Preparedness and Response
CAT is identified as a responsible agency in the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan (CEMP). The plan is designed to provide a framework through which Collier County may prevent or
mitigate the impacts of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural, manmade, and technological
hazards that could adversely affect the health, safety, and general welfare of residents and visitors to the
County. Additionally, this plan establishes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the
FY18 838,676

TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |60
standard for tasked agencies to use in responding to emergency events. The CEMP was approved by the
Florida Division of Emergency Management and complies with Homeland Security Presidential Directives.
Education Efforts/Marketing
CAT actively markets its programs and services on social media such as X (formally known as Twitter),
Facebook, and Instagram and at a variety of local community events. Recent examples include Paw Pass
promotions, offering students unlimited rides throughout the summer. A Seasonal Beach Bus service has
been implemented. CAT presented for the local 4H Club with "Know Your County Government," aimed at
increasing awareness and understanding of local government processes. Lastly, a county-wide Try Transit
Day was organized, providing free rides to residents for a day in April.
Service Standards
To assess quality assurance for the delivery of transportation services, the Local Coordinating Board utilizes
the following services standards that form the basis for the annual review of the Community
Transportation Coordinator (CTC). These standards are consistent with Section 41-2.006 Florida
Administrative Code and the Code of Federal Regulation.
• Drug and alcohol program – CAT complies with applicable Federal Transit Administration
requirements for all individuals in safety-sensitive positions. In addition, CAT maintains a Drug-
Free Workplace policy.
• Escorts and children – Personal care attendants must be approved on the initial customer
application with medical documentation for the reason an attendant is needed. If an
escort/personal care attendant is requested, they will be transported at no additional charge.
• Child restraints – Restraints are required for children under 5 and/or under 50 lbs.
• Rider property – Passengers are allowed to bring up to four shopping bags that fit under the
passenger’s seat and/or on their lap.
• Vehicle transfer points – Vehicle transfer points will be in safe and secure locations. Riders have
the right to vehicle transfer points that are sheltered, secure, and safe.
• Local toll-free number for consumer comments – The local toll-free number for complaints is 1-
800-550-9348. The number is posted in all paratransit vehicles. If a complaint cannot be resolved
locally, individuals have the option to contact the statewide Transportation Disadvantaged
Ombudsman Hotline at 1-800-983-2435.
• Vehicle Cleanliness – All vehicles shall be free from dirt, grime, oil, trash, torn upholstery,
damaged or broken seats, protruding metal, or other objects or materials that could soil items
placed in the vehicle or provide discomfort for the passenger. All vehicles are cleaned (interior
and exterior) on a regular schedule.
• Billing requirements – All payments to transportation subcontractors will be made in a timely
manner pursuant to Florida Statutes. All bills shall be paid within 7 working days to subcontractors
after receipt of said payment by the CTC in accordance with Section 287.0585, Florida Statutes.
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 96 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |61
• Rider/trip data – The CTC management entity will collect and store in a database the name, phone
number, address, funding source, eligibility, and special requirements of each passenger.
• Seating - Vehicle seating will not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended capacity.
• Driver Identification - Drivers are required to announce and identify themselves by name and
company in a manner that is conducive to communications with specific passengers, except in
situations where the driver regularly transports the rider on a recurring basis. All drivers are to
have a name badge always displayed when transporting passengers.
• Passenger Loading Assistance - All drivers shall provide the passenger with boarding assistance, if
necessary or requested, to the seating portion of the vehicle. The boarding assistance shall include
opening the vehicle door, fastening the seat belt or utilization of wheelchair securement devices,
storage of mobility assistive devices, and closing the vehicle door. Passengers, especially frail and
elderly and/or disabled, shall be assisted from the door of their pick-up point to the door of their
destination. Other assistance may be provided except in situations in which providing assistance
would not be safe for passengers remaining in the vehicle. Assisted access must be in a dignified
manner. Drivers may not assist passengers in wheelchairs more than one step up or down.
• Smoking, Drinking, and Eating - There will be no smoking on any vehicles in the coordinated
system. Eating and drinking on board the vehicle is prohibited. Exceptions are permitted when
required due to an existing medical condition.
• Passenger No-Shows - All scheduled trips (reservations) must be canceled at least 2 hours prior to
the scheduled trip to avoid being deemed a “no show”. Passengers are not responsible for “no-
shows” due to sudden illness, family or personal emergency, transit connection or appointment
delays, extreme weather conditions, operator error, or other unforeseen reasons for which it is
not possible to call to cancel or take the trip as scheduled. Late Cancellations and/or No Shows
may result in suspension of service. Passengers will be notified of every “no-show” violation in
writing. If a passenger receives notice of a no-show violation that proposes a suspension of
service, the written notification shall also outline the passenger’s right to appeal the imposition
of that sanction. All penalties reset after one year from the initial no-show violation.
• Communication Equipment - All vehicles will be equipped with two-way communication devices.
• Vehicle Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment - All vehicles in the coordinated system shall have
working air conditioning and heating. Vehicles that do not have a working air conditioner and/or
heater will be scheduled for repair or replacement within five days. Should a vehicle incur a
problem, it will be repaired as soon as possible. The owner/operator is responsible for its repair.
The priority is that the CTC provides transportation. If a vehicle’s air conditioning or heating is not
functioning properly, and, if there are no other vehicles available, the passengers will be
transported, rather than canceling a trip. Passengers with health conditions affected by air
conditioning or lack thereof will be notified if their vehicle’s air conditioning is not working, and
the passenger will be given an opportunity to decide whether to take the trip.
• First Aid Policy - Drivers are certified in first aid on an annual basis.
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 97 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |62
• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) - Drivers are certified in CPR every two years (biennial).
• Driver Background Checks - All drivers in the coordinated system must have a “favorable”
background check from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (“favorable” as defined by
the Department of Children and Families policies and procedures).
• Public Transit Ridership - Using a single centralized operation for CTC and fixed route service,
coordinated trips will be referred to the fixed route when accessible rather than placed into the
CTC paratransit system.
• The CTC will continue to market and encourage the use of bus passes, by individuals and agencies
that sponsor trips. It will also measure the use of each pass per month.
• Pick-Up Window - Passengers are not given a set pick-up time. Instead, they are told to be ready
for their ride to arrive from between one to two hours before their appointment time. This
window is dependent on the service area of the pick-up and drop-off points. Travel times are
determined by the length of the trip. Travel times are as follows: 9 miles or less is approximately
60-minute travel time, 9-18 miles is approximately 75-minute travel time, and 18 miles or longer
is approximately 120-minute travel time. The CTC may negotiate special pick-up arrangements
with the customer, in advance, as the situation dictates. These arrangements shall be
documented and maintained on file to distinguish these trips from regularly scheduled trips for
determining on-time performance. Medical appointments and employment must follow the “30
minutes early to zero minutes late” policy. All other trips are considered on time if they arrive one
minute before or one minute after the scheduled time. Four (4) or more passengers dropped-off
and/or picked up at the same location constitute a group trip. The CTC may negotiate special
arrangements with the customer or agency, in advance, for a group trip. These special
arrangements will be documented and evaluated separately for on-time performance. Every
effort will be made by the CTC to keep the ride times within the service window for these trips.
• All return trips are also scheduled in advance. The pick-up process for return trips is the same as
the originating trip. Depending on the location, the window may be one or two hours. General
expectations are that travel within a single service area will follow the travel time windows. Travel
times are determined by the length of the trip. Travel times are as follows: 9 miles or less is
approximately 60-minute travel time, 9-18 miles is approximately 75-minute travel time, and 18
miles or longer is approximately 120 minute travel time.
• On-time Performance - The CTC will have a 90% on-time performance rate for all completed trips
including both pick-ups and drop-offs. The CTC will report on-time performance at all LCB
meetings.
• Advance Reservations - Reservations are made a day in advance up to 5 p.m. the business day
prior to the trip request. Passengers with an urgent need to travel should call the CTC. Unless
other regulations are applicable, same-day trip requests cannot be guaranteed. However, the CTC
will attempt to accommodate the request.
• Accidents - There should be no more than 1.2 accidents per 100,000 miles.
4.B.2
Packet Pg. 98 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |63
• Road Calls - There should be no less than 10,000 miles between each road call.
• Call-Hold - All calls shall be answered within three rings, and the maximum hold time shall be two
minutes. The standards listed below are locally developed standards, in addition to those required
by Section 41-2.006, Florida Administrative Code.
• Driver Training - All operators, supervisors, and safety-sensitive positions shall receive drug and
alcohol safety training. Additional training shall consist of driver safety, passenger relations,
wheelchair security, CPR, fire safety, and other topics, as deemed necessary. At a minimum,
passenger relations and driver safety training shall be conducted annually. All drivers will be
annually certified in First Aid. All drivers will be certified every two years in Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR).
• Oxygen Transport - Passengers may travel with oxygen equipment if it is self-administered and
can be safely stowed when the vehicle is enroute. Drivers are not permitted to supply, connect,
or disconnect oxygen.
• Service Animals - Guide dogs or other service animals are allowed if specified when applying for
TD and/or ADA-sponsored transportation services. Family pets are not allowed.
• On-Board Travel Time - The CTC will make every effort to comply with funding agencies’ stated
ride times. In situations where it becomes apparent that an individual’s onboard travel time will
exceed the travel time window (due to accidents and vehicular breakdown, for example), the CTC
will make every effort to contact the families or caregivers of the passenger.
• Joint Lee and Collier County Local Coordinating Board Meetings - The CTC recognizes the
importance of Joint LCB meetings between Lee and Collier Counties for the purpose of developing
consistent inter and intra-county policies. For this reason, the BCC as the CTC will make every
effort to pay for out-of-county TD trips to attend the Joint LCB meetings between Lee and Collier
County. These out-of-county trips will be for attendance at Joint LCB meetings only and will be
paid for by the BCC, depending on the funding availability.
• Refusal to Pay or No Pays - To ensure consistent and fair transportation services to all our
passengers, everyone is expected to pay the proper fare upon boarding a CAT Connect. To
emphasize the importance of limiting No Pays, CAT Connect adopted the following, zero tolerance
of refusal to pay policy: If the passenger does not have the appropriate amount to pay for his or
her co-pay, transportation will not be provided. If the passenger refuses to pay for a return trip
the passenger will not be eligible to reserve a future trip until payment of the co-pay has been
fulfilled.
• Multiple Destinations - Each trip includes one destination. Brief stops at locations before the
scheduled destination will not be allowed. If multiple destinations are needed, each section of the
trip must be scheduled separately, and the rider must pay a fare for each ride.

Board Grievance Committee must review all grievances and report accordingly to the full Local
Coordinating Board.
If the grievance has not been resolved as outlined in these grievance procedures, the customer may
exercise their adjudicative rights, use the Administrative Hearing Process outlined in Chapter 120, Florida
Statutes, or request that their grievance be heard by the CTD through the Ombudsman program
established herein and the CTD’s Grievance Process.
Coordination Contract Evaluation Criteria
In its role as the CTC, Collier County is responsible for planning, coordination and implementation of the
most cost-effective transportation system possible within Collier County. Before entering a coordination
contract, Collier County analyzes local transportation needs and available resources to ensure that TD
services are non-duplicative and can be provided in the most cost-effective manner by the proposed
coordination contractor. Collier County considers the capabilities of a proposed coordination contractor to
comply with record keeping, safety, vehicle operations, state and federal civil rights laws, etc. When
applicable, Collier County evaluates the past performance of the proposed coordinated provider before
entering another Memorandum of Understanding.
Cost/Revenue and Allocation and Rate Structure Justification
In March of 2024, the Collier MPO’s Local Coordinating Board approved the TD service rates shown in
Table 28 below utilizing the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged Rate Calculation
Worksheet. The Rate Calculation Model is a tool utilized by the CTD to standardize the comparison and
approval of rates paid to coordinators throughout the State of Florida. The detailed Rate Model worksheets
are included in Appendix E.

During 2018, Collier County conducted an extensive fare structure evaluation to analyze potential fixed-
route and paratransit fare changes, assess potential ridership and revenue impacts, minimize adverse
impacts to low-income and minority persons, and identify fare policy recommendations.
The fare study involved a public outreach campaign involving rider intercept surveys, public workshops,
and the involvement of the County’s Public Transit Advisory Committee. Based on the input received, the
majority (77%) of bus riders would support a fare increase if revenue is used to improve service frequency
and availability or to access new locations. Fifty percent of ADA riders supported a $0.50 fare increase and
56% of TD riders supported a fare increase of $0.25.
At the June 12, 2018, Board of County Commissioner’s Meeting a resolution was adopted to implement
the following fare structure changes effective October 1, 2018. The effective date for student discount
programs is June 12, 2018.
The fare structure adopted on June 12, 2018, is still the most current fare structure for Collier Area Transit.
Table 29 and Table 30 below, display the existing CAT fare structure and the TD/ADA fares respectively.

Quality Assurance
The Local Coordinating Board (LCB) conducted the last evaluation of the CTC in the first half of 2024 for
the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, utilizing the CTD’s QAPE/LCB CTC Evaluation Workbook. As
a result, the following recommendations were made:
• Regarding the CTC not meeting its On-Time Performance (OTP) goal of 90%:
o That the CTC continues to keep LCB apprised of the status of delivery of expected grant
awarded paratransit vehicles and OTP.
o That the CTC continues to strive to meet the OTP goal of 90%.
o That if the CTC’s overall OTP continues to consistently be 10% or more below the goal of 90%
by December 2024, the CTC brings the issue, along with any proposed strategies to improve
OTP that it may have, to the LCB for direction in March 2025.
Status: The CTC has reported that its OTP is being impacted by increased demand during peak
hours, staffing shortages for drivers and dispatchers, rising number of TD trip requests, increased
traffic congestion, and limited paratransit vehicle availability. The CTC’s operator has acquired
eight vans with wheelchair lifts. The CTC is finalizing the process to obtain awarded grant funds
for the purchase of vehicles by FDOT, with the expectation of receiving some in FY 2025. The CTC
is continually evaluating routes to improve efficiency and minimize delays. The CTC’s operator is
working to fill paratransit driver vacancies.
• Regarding the CTC’s accidents, as reported in the FY 22/23 AOR, as 62% higher than its goal of 1.2
per 100,000 miles, that the CTC report back to LCB regarding the efforts it is taking to reduce the
number of accidents, as well as updates as to the rate of accidents. If the CTC is unable to reduce
the number of accidents from the current rate of 62% higher than its goal of 1.2 per 100,000 miles
by December 2024, that the CTC bring the issue, along with any proposed strategies to improve
the accident rate that it may have, to the LCB for direction in March 2025.
Status: The CTC’s operator is providing additional safety training, and the CTC will report back to
LCB on its progress in reducing accidents. If the accident rate remains above the target by
December 2024, the CTC will present additional proposed strategies for improvement to the LCB
for direction.

Concerns regarding sometimes
having long waiting times for their
clients for paratransit bus;
Difficulty some seniors have with
making telephone reservations
and using the phone-based
applications to make reservations;
Difficulty getting necessary
paperwork from doctors for the TD
services application.
The concerns are encompassed
in the CTC’s goals and objectives
set forth in the TDSP. The CTC’s
representative explained
challenges arising from
increased demand, delay in
getting new/additional
paratransit buses, the distance
within the County to travel, and
increasing traffic and congestion.
CTC representative offered to
provide training on how to use
the app and the TD system and
indicated that paratransit staff
actively reach out to assist with
completing applications.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Report
OBJECTIVE: For Collier MPO to comply with the requirements of 14-73.001, Florida Administrative Code
(FAC).
CONSIDERATIONS: In order to be eligible for funding under Section 341.052, Florida Statutes (Public transit
block grant program), transit agencies must develop a Transit Development Plan (TDP) to be approved by the
Florida Department of Transportation. The TDP is the transit the provider’s planning, development, and
operational guidance document, based on a ten-year planning horizon and covers the year for which funding is
sought and the nine subsequent years. A major update to a TDP must be completed every five years, with an
annual TDP update as to the ten-year operating and capital program to be completed each year.
On July 9, 2024, 14-73.001, FAC, was amended to provide that all TDP annual updates be presented to the local
MPO governing board. The current version of 14-73.001, FAC, is included as Attachment 1 and a
strikethrough/underline version showing the changes made to the previous version is included as Attachment 2.
Collier Area Transit’s (CAT) FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Report is included as
Attachment 3. CAT’s governing board, Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), approved the
Annual Progress Report at its July 9, 2024, meeting. Prior to CAT presenting the Annual Progress Report to the
BCC, it coordinated with the MPO on the draft document.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: N/A.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board ratify CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual
Progress Report.

TDP Annual Progress Report Requirements
The State of Florida Public Transit Block Grant Program was enacted by the Florida Legislature to
provide a stable source of funding for public transit. The Block Grant Program requires public transit
service providers to develop, adopt, and annually update a 10-Year Transit Development Plan (TDP).
Based on legislation that became effective February 20, 2007, the TDP must undergo a Major Update
every five years. In between the subsequent four years, an annual progress update is required to be
submitted to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Office by September 1st
annually. A TDP or an annual update shall be used in developing the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) Five-Year Work Program, the Transportation Improvement Program, and the
Department’s Program and Resource Plan. The most recent Major Update of the Collier County TDP
was adopted by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in October 2020 with an
extension grant by FDOT. An approval of the TDP was received from FDOT in December 2020. This
2024 TDP Progress Report is the fourth progress report to the 2020 TDP Major Update and documents
Collier County’s implementation activities since the 2020 TDP Major Update. This progress report
complies with all the requirements contained in Rule 14-73.001, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) as
represented in Table 1.

Section 2 – Previous Year’s Accomplishments
This section provides a review of each program and activity identified for implementation in the first
four years (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) of the TDP Program Elements and briefly describes the
milestones or achievements between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Additional noteworthy
accomplishments over the last year are also documented.
Planning and Service Operations
Service Improvements - Collier County completed a Comprehensive Operation Analysis (COA) in July
2021, shortly after completing its TDP Major Update. The COA set up a road map for improvements
to the CAT system over the next few years. Significant changes were introduced during the first quarter
of the County Fiscal Year 22-23 with the implementation of the Seasonal Schedule Change in
November 2022. These changes were identified as some of the COA short-term recommendations for
the system and included route consolidation and alignment modifications to six of the now sixteen
routes, eliminating two routes through consolidation. These changes were made to improve
operational efficiencies, including ensuring the remaining routes were able to service the areas where
routes were eliminated.
With the implementation of these changes identified in the COA, CAT have seen a steady growth in
ridership comparing year over year. Budgetary constraints shifted the focus on route changes this
past year towards route scheduling changes and trying to maximize on-time performance, with little
room to add service. Although no changes were made to the route paths in FY2024, many tweaks
were made to the route timings to reflect typical roadway conditions and help our drivers maintain
the scheduled times. Introduced for the seasonal schedule in November 2023, the most impactful
changes were as follows:
• Removal of last loop to Route 11
• Removal of last loop to Route 12
• Removal of last loop to Route 13
• Removal of last loop to Route 14
• Removal of last loop to Route 17
Traffic and congestion have only been getting worse throughout Collier over the past few years with
continuing development and expansion. This situation forces CAT to react to these trends while
maintaining our budget and continuing to offer reliable service. The changes listed were done out
of necessity for lengthening the time between timepoints, to offer a more reliable service to our
passengers. The stretching of the route times forced the routes to run later and would have caused
CAT to go over our budget, had the last loops been kept in operation.

Figure 2-1: Service Improvement Impact on Ridership
Although the changes implemented throughout FY24 did not completely align with the service
enhancements that were originally planned, CAT was still able to maintain and increase ridership
throughout the system. Off-season modifications were implemented in April 2024 to adjust route
timings in response to the traffic volume shifts. The changes introduced in April had no changes to
the routing of our busses.
ADA Bus Stop and Bus Shelter Improvements - CAT continues to implement its bus shelter
improvement plan with plans for construction of 14 shelters and 2 benches located across the county
for FY24. ADA improvements have been planned for another 20 stops scattered throughout Collier.
As project delays were experienced during FY23, many of the improvements scheduled for last year
have been pushed to be completed during FY24. The goal of completing at least 10 bus shelters and
10 ADA improvements per year will be exceeded this fiscal year with the ongoing construction of
these improvements tallying up to 36 total ADA improvements.

Redesigned Paradise Beach Trolley – In February 2024, CAT resumed the annual beach bus service providing
free rides from Conner Park to Vanderbilt Beach and Wiggins Pass Beach Access from February through April.
This service allows patrons to park for free at Conner Park and catch a free ride to one of two beaches nearby
(Figure 2-4). CAT has brought back this service in 2024 rebranded as the Paradise Beach Trolley. The route name
is a reference to a nickname for the coastal area of Collier County, Florida’s Paradise Coast. The trolley used for
the route has a new beach themed wrap, shown below, clearly identifying itself from the rest of CAT’s regular
fixed route busses. The service runs Friday-Monday, and additional service was provided the entire week of
spring break (March 10-15) and leading up to Easter (March 25-30). The route operated from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
and 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM.

In 2017, the CAT Operations and Maintenance Facility was severely damaged by Hurricane Irma. As a result
of the damage and the continual aging of the structure, CAT along with other professionals have concluded
that the facility has met its useful life and should be replaced on the existing site. In September 2020, Collier
County received notice of award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for $9,020,000 under FTA’s
Bus and Bus Facilities Program which will be used in part to construct a new Operations & Maintenance
facility on site. While the initial Bus and Bus Facilities grant wasn't enough to build a new facility entirely,
Collier County has been creatively combining previously awarded funds with new allocations to make the
project a reality. There is a total of $29,237,469 available within grant funding. The current estimated
project cost of $18,459,854 which will be refined with the completion of a final design, leaving $10,777,615
available for final cost adjustments. The site plan for the new facility, shown in Figure 2-5, will ensure an
efficient and effective transit service to meet the needs of passengers. Staff has begun the process towards
constructing the facility by releasing the project for bid and selecting Jacobs Engineering Firm for design of
the facility.

In addition to the construction project, CAT staff obtained approval of its conditional use (CU) on the 8300
Radio Road Facility to eliminate the limit on the number of allowable routes that could utilize the transfer
facility. The elimination of the cap has opened the CAT system up to connect with regional bus companies,
allowing greater regional access for transit dependent populations.
Collier County is constructing a transfer facility in the Immokalee Community on a vacant parcel owned by
Collier County. The project site is a grassed field adjacent to a green wooded area with an asphalt/concrete
driveway providing vehicular access to the Health Department and a maintenance shed. The property is
approximately 1.7 acres in size and is zoned Residential Single Family-3 with a conditional use providing for
governmental facilities. The bus transfer station will include passenger and transit efficiency enhancements
including new bays for the buses to pull off the street; canopy cover for the sheltered transfer of passengers;
waiting platform with benches and trash receptacles; vending machines for food or a Food Truck vendor;
restroom facilities for passengers and drivers; and ADA improvements. Figure 3 below is a rendering of the
proposed improvements on that site. Currently, passengers transferring at this location are using a shelter
located in the parking lot shared by visitors to the Health Department, County Library and the David
Lawrence Center. This project is under construction and is planned to be completed by late 2024.

Section 3 – Revisions to the Implementation Plan
Tenth Year Transit Implementation Plan
The 2021-2030 Collier County Major TDP Update included a very comprehensive list of activities
leading up to the creation of an implementation plan that would guide the County’s development of
services over a ten-year planning horizon.
With each annual update, an additional tenth year is added to the implementation plan. Although an
additional year was added, no improvements are scheduled to take place beyond what was identified
in the last TDP Major Update. Collier County will actively pursue funding opportunities to implement
recommendations from the 2021-2030 TDP.
The following items not listed in the implementation plan were addressed within the current
reporting period:
• Expand and improve bus stop infrastructure – Improved infrastructure at bus stops,
including benches, shelters, bicycle storage facilities, and other infrastructure, is included in
the Cost Feasible Plan to enhance the rider experience while waiting for a bus and potentially
attract new riders.
• Improve bus stop safety and ADA accessibility – Ensuring the safety of all riders while
accessing bus stops and waiting for a bus and guaranteeing that ADA requirements are
fulfilled for all transit facilities are important to the overall safety and accessibility of the
transit system.
As noted within the document, a variety of bus stop and ADA accessible improvements have been
completed in FY24. Collier County will continue this effort to provide an accessible service for all.
This section provides an analysis of the discrepancies between the 2024-2033 Transit Development
Plan APR and its implementation. Many of the changes resulted in improvements being delayed by
one year, which are noted in the Implementation Plan.
Implementation Plan Accomplishments and Changes
We have made significant progress on many of the goals listed on the implementation plan shown in
our previous Major TDP Report. We have pushed back implementation of some of the route changes,
frequency enhancements, and service expansions due to funding constraints. These changes are
noted in the implementation plan below, identifying the target years listed in our previous TDP
Update. There were a few projects listed in the Implementation Plan within the Major TDP that
projected an implementation year of 2024. CAT has completed and made progress on many of them
with others being evaluated for implementation later in the year.
During FY21, Collier Area Transit procured the services of Kimley-Horn to conduct a Comprehensive
Operations Analysis (COA). Through this process, recommendations have been made regarding the
frequency and realignment of our routes and a timeline for these changes. With the completed COA,
the years set out in the implementation plan for service improvements may be changed. We
implemented many of the near-term service enhancements recommended in the COA at the start of
FY22 and continued implementation at the through FY23. The last of the cost-neutral

recommendations listed within the COA were completed with our seasonal schedule change at the
start of FY23. These changes consisted of the re-alignment of Route 19 with removal of Route 28,
Route consolidation of Routes 20 and 26, and alignment changes to Route 25 and Route 21.
We have made significant progress in respect to the listed technology upgrades in our
implementation plan. In January of 2022, the onboard surveillance system on all buses were upgraded
to have live feed capability, event tagging, download tagging, and one unified component on the
buses. The Board of County Commissioners approved a contract March 8, 2022 that will allow the
replacement and installation of a wide array of Intelligent Technology Systems. In late FY22, CAT
began the project installing upgrades to much of our other software and onboard technology.
CAT, working with the Collier MPO, LeeTran, and Jacobs Engineering has completed a Regional Service
and Regional Fare Study. MPO selected Jacobs engineering as the consultant on the project and began
with a kick-off meeting in March 2023. This study included exploring the UF/IFAS / Lehigh Acres area
for possible connection with our service along with additional ideas for regional connectivity and fare-
sharing. The final study was completed in early 2024 and presented to the Board of County
Commissioners for approval in May 2024.
Table 3-1 below provides a copy of the implementation plan included in the last TDP Update
highlighting those service improvements that are on target with the plan. As we completed the
multiple route modifications identified previously, we are currently monitoring those changes for future
route or timing adjustments if necessary. As mentioned above, we have also completed the Regional
Service and Fares Study and Immokalee/Lehigh Acres Service on time with the date identified within
our implementation plan. Regarding the I-75 Managed Lanes Express Study, this action will be put
further on hold as FDOT lays out plans for improving I-75 running through Collier County through their
I-75 South Corridor Master Plan. Based on current funding constraints, the resources required to
enact higher frequencies on our routes will not be feasible for the next year, which led us to push the
frequency enhancements further back in our timeline.

Section 4 – Status of Goals and Objectives
Assessment of 2020 TDP Major Update Goals and Objectives
Goals and Objectives are an integral part of any transportation plan as they provide the policy
direction to achieve the community’s vision. CAT’s TDP contains seven goals, each with objectives
and initiatives designed to meet the corresponding goal.
An assessment of CAT’s goals, objectives, and initiatives, as outlined in the 2020 Major Update, was
conducted as part of this progress report. Importantly, several initiatives have been removed to
eliminate duplicates and streamline the assessment process. The goals, objectives, and initiatives
contained in the TDP Major Update were developed to support the service network redesign that was
underway when the Major Update was completed in 2020. Having implemented that new service
design, revisions to goals, objectives, and strategies were necessary to reflect the changing service
delivery approach and operating environment. Coupled with new initiatives to improve the CAT
brand, expand services marketing, and customer-facing technology enhancements, several of the
prior objectives and targets may no longer be applicable or relevant. Many of the goals and objectives
have been met, whereas others have been stymied and we were not able to achieve the initial target
or target dates. The initial targets and target dates have been left in the following table to help
measure where we stand and the progress we’ve made.

Initiative 1.1.3
Improve peak weekday service
to 45 minutes or better on CAT
routes.
2026
CAT had frequency improvements
scheduled for FY24, although budget
restrictions have forced us to delay those
improvements. The completion of
increased frequency along some routes is
not scheduled for implementation until
future progress reports. PTNE staff will
continue to seek additional funding to
accomplish our goal.
Implement 30% of
route frequency
enhancement
noted in the
Implementation
plan.
Initiative 1.1.4
Evaluate the feasibility of
premium transit services, such
as bus rapid transit (BRT) within
corridors where density of
demand and activity warrants
frequent service.
Ongoing
The Plan does not contain an
implementation year for this initiative. A
regional fare and service study has been
completed recommending a route in the
North-East of the county connecting two
high transit areas without an existing
connection. FDOT has begun a regional
BRT study with corridors within Collier up
for evaluation.

Section 5 – Financial Plan
This section of the TDP presents the financial plan consisting of the capital and operating costs and
revenues associated with maintaining the existing system (status quo) and with the implementation of the
10-year Needs Plan. The financial plan is a planning tool utilized to quantify the cost of service and related
capital enhancements but does not represent a commitment of funding or a requirement to provide any
identified service/project in the year shown.
There have been no commitments from local, state, federal, or other sources to increase transit funding
levels over the proposed amounts identified in the Collier County Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Adopted Budget.
Based on currently identified funding, existing service levels and capital improvements are planned
through the first nine years of this Annual Progress Report, with needs-based improvements being added
to the tenth year. All improvements included in the tenth year related to addressing the transit needs will
require new revenue sources.
Numerous assumptions were made to project public transportation costs and revenues for this TDP
planning timeframe of FY 2025 through FY 2034. The assumptions made for operating and capital costs
and revenues are based on a variety of factors, including NTD data, trend data, operating characteristics,
planning documents, the FDOT Work Program, and the Collier MPO Transportation Improvement Plan.
The only difference between the table in this update and the tables contained in last year’s TDP APR is the
addition of a new 10th year utilizing the assumptions noted. These assumptions are summarized below.
Cost Assumptions
Operating
Numerous cost assumptions were made to forecast transit costs for 2025 through 2034. These
assumptions are based on a variety of factors, including service performance data from CAT and
information from other recent Florida TDPs. These assumptions are summarized as follows:
• Annual operating costs for fixed-route and paratransit services are based on the most recent
adopted budget (FY23). These costs include the cost to operate and maintain existing services and
facilities, such as administrative buildings, maintenance facilities, and transit hubs.
• An annual inflation rate of 2.75% was used for all operating cost projections, based on the average
Consumer Price Index (CPI) historical data from 2013–2023.
• Annual operating costs for future service enhancements are based on the projected annual service
hours and cost per revenue hour of $110.16 for fixed-route service and $51.41 for paratransit
service (both in FY23).
• As ADA paratransit service is not required for express routes or MOD, it is assumed that any
express and MOD would not require complementary ADA paratransit services if implemented.

Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY2024 Annual Progress Report 43 | P a g e
Capital
Several assumptions were developed to project the costs for capital needs identified previously and are
summarized as follows:
• New vehicles planned to be purchased include those necessary to replace vehicles within the
existing fleet that have reached the end of their useful life and vehicles to implement the new
service.
• Vehicles are assumed to cost $495,000 for fixed-route bus and $150,000 for paratransit cutaway
vehicles, based on information provided by the JTA Bus Contract and FDOT Trips Contract. Twenty-
two fixed-route vehicles and 56 paratransit vehicles will need to be purchased between 2025 and
2034.
• An annual growth rate of 2.75% was used for capital cost projections, based on average CPI
historical data from 2013 to 2023.
• A 20% spare ratio was factored into the vehicle replacement and expansion schedule.
• The useful life for motor bus replacement is assumed to be 12 years. The useful life for paratransit
vehicle replacement is assumed to be 7 years.
• The CAT FY 22/23 budget estimates 1% Enhancement Shelter Rehab to be $45,000. Bus shelter
expenses were assumed at the FY 2023 Collier County Government Requested Budget for the first
fiscal year but thereafter based on the cost to construct 10 shelters annually to be consistent with
the ADA Assessment Plan, with an annual inflation rate of 2.75%.
• Technology costs for Avail replacement, APCs, annunciators, onboard information media, and
farebox replace were obtained from the draft budget proposals received.
Revenue Assumptions
Revenue assumptions for fixed-route service are based on information from several state and local
agencies. Assumptions for different revenue sources, including annual operating revenues from existing
federal, state, and local sources, are based on the FDOT Adopted Five-Year Work Program (FY 2023–2027),
the CAT FY 2023 TDP Annual Progress Report, and the Collier County Government FY 2023 adopted
Budget.
Local revenues for CAT are anticipated to increase at a moderate rate of 2.75% annually starting in 2024.
Under this plan, there are no new local revenue sources in the 10-year period.
• Federal Grants 5307 and 5311 for operating assistance from FY 2025–FY 2034 reflects Adopted
Work Program FY 2023–2027 for Collier County; an annual growth rate (2.75%) is applied after FY
2024, to reflect 10-year average CPI increase to the revenue source.
• Federal and State grant 5305 funds for planning was based on the FDOT Adopted Work Program
FY 2023–2027 for Collier County.

• Projected FDOT Block Grant revenues for 2024–2035 were obtained from the FDOT Adopted Work Program
FY 2023–2027 for Collier County. A conservative annual growth rate of 2.75% was used to increase these
revenues and thereafter were based on a 10-year average CPI. Projected fare revenues for existing
services are based on FY 2023 YTD Route Statistics data provided by CAT, with a conservative 2.75% annual
growth rate applied.
• Projected local contributions were obtained from the FDOT Adopted Work Program FY 2024– 2028 for
Collier County. A conservative annual growth rate of 2.75% was used to increase revenues and thereafter
was based on a 10-year average CPI.
• Based on vehicle information provided by CAT staff, a total of $14.9 million in capital funds was assumed
in the 10-year plan to fund the existing fixed-route bus replacement program and $8.8 million for
paratransit vehicles.
• New State Block Grant – The formula to allocate Block Grant funds is based on three components:
population of service area, ridership, and revenue miles. Block grant revenues are approximate based on
information provided by FDOT’s Public Transit Office. It is assumed these revenues will increase when
implementing new/expanded transit services, two years after the start of new/expanded services.
• FTA Section 5307 – Revenues are based on federal formula funding criteria such as increased ridership
and passenger-miles. Funding levels are subject to change due to transit performance relating to route
revenue miles, passenger trips, and the performance of the whole system. For expansion to existing routes
and new services, it is assumed these revenues will increase and would be realized two years from year
of service expansion or new services.
• The detailed 10-year Cost Feasible Finance Plan is presented in Table 5-3. Table 5-3 includes all services,
facilities, and capital, existing and proposed, that is within the fiscal capacity of existing revenue streams.
There are several projects identified through the TDP process that have no funding allocated for its
implementation. Annually, the Transit Staff presents a list of those unfunded projects to the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) so that if funding is identified these projects can be considered for funding.
Table 5-1 shown below, is the current list of unfunded transit priorities approved by the MPO Board on
June 9, 2023, and the proposed 2024 list (MPO Board approval scheduled for June 14, 2024).
Additional revenue sources will be required to balance the funding needs with the costs of the
improvements. Actual revenue to fund the alternatives may be secured for these activities from any
individual or combination of local, state, and federal sources, private contributions, or innovative financing
techniques. When revenue is secured, staff can proceed with the implementation of any listed service or
improvement.

documents for the MPO Chair’s signature.

Committee (CAC) review and comments were addressed prior to the MPO Board action on 2/9/2024.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory (BPAC) Committee Chair Report
The BPAC held its regularly scheduled in-person meeting on August 20, 2024; a quorum was achieved.
Agency Reports
• Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) did not attend this meeting.
• MPO Executive Director, Anne McLaughlin reported that:
o Collier MPO’s July 23rd 4-year federal review had positive feedback from the reviewers,
especially with the video by Ms. Miceli; the formal report will be received this fall.
o The Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan is underway with the first steering committee
meeting scheduled August 28. The Safety Action Plan will have bicycle and pedestrian
components and production will go through the MPO’s regular committee review process

o On August 14, FDOT contacted the MPO with concerns about the current FY 25-29 work
program. State and federal funds for all phases of priority projects through construction
will be limited to only SU funds. SU funds are available in the current FY 2025 to cover
cost increases; however, there are more projects programmed for design in FYs 2026 and
2027 than the MPO has SU funds available to meet construction cost inflation. MPO staff
will coordinate with member governments to identify a path forward to funding projected
construction costs over the next 5-7 years and report back to the committee.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approve a Work Order for Alfred Benesch & Company to Complete a Zero Emission Fleet Transition Plan
for Transit
OBJECTIVE: To obtain MPO Board approval of a work order for Alfred Benesch & Company to Complete a
Zero Emission Fleet Transition Plan for transit.
CONSIDERATIONS: In collaboration with Collier County Public Transit & Neighborhood Enhancement
Division, Collier MPO wishes to contract with a consultant to prepare a Zero Emission Fleet Transition Plan. The
Plan is required for potential future federal grant application requests for low or no emission public transportation
vehicles/ infrastructure under 49 U.S.C. § 5339(b) and 49 U.S.C. § 5339(c).
The Plan will evaluate the prospect of deploying zero emissions vehicles in Collier Area Transit’s fleet, including
feasibility, infrastructure needs, power needs, high-level cost estimates, and funding source opportunities. The Plan
is identified in Task 6 (Transit and Transportation Disadvantaged Planning) of the FY 24/25 - 25/26 Unified
Planning Work Program (UPWP).
The project will be completed under the MPO’s Professional Services Contract 18 -7432 MP, which was approved
by the MPO Board on March 12, 2021. (The Contract was the result of a competitive procurement process handled
by the Collier County Procurement Division.) In accordance with the Contract, a request was sent to Collier
County’s Procurement Division to assign a vendor for the study. The Procurement Division assigned Alfred
Benesch & Company to complete the project.
The cost to complete the work order is $98,540. Sufficient funding is allocated in the UPWP. The project is being
funded using section 5305(d) transit planning funds and section 5307 urbanized area formula transit funds.
The work order, scope of services and fee schedule to complete the Plan are included in Attachment 1.
In accordance with the MPO’s Public Transit Grant Agreement between the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) and the MPO, G1V40 (Section 12.a), Collier MPO requested and has received FDOT’s concurrence with
the scope of services and to use Alfred Benesch & Company.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees previously
reviewed and endorsed a preliminary scope of services for the Plan. Contracting matters are not presented to
committees.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the work order for Alfred Benesch & Company to
complete a Zero Emission Fleet Transition Plan and authorize the Chair to sign the work order.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approve the Use of SU Funds to Cover Construction Cost Over-Run on the Collier Alternate Bike Lane
Project, FPN 448127-1, City of Marco Island
OBJECTIVE: For the MPO Board to approve adding $1.736 million in SU funds to enable the City of Marco
Island to complete a portion of a project that is programmed for construction in FY 2025.
CONSIDERATIONS: The City of Marco Island has requested an additional $1.736 in SU funds to cover the cost-
over-run for the southern segment of the Collier Alternate Bike Lane Project (FPN 448127-1). With the approval
of the Roll Forward TIP amendment (agenda item 7A), the project is currently funded at $2.457 million for
construction in FY25. The additional $1.736 million would bring the total to $4.283 million to complete the
construction of the southern segment. If the Board approves this request, the remaining balance in FY2025 SU
funds will be roughly $0.9 million.
Upon receiving confirmation that the Board approves adding SU funds to cover the construction cost over -run,
FDOT will enter the revision in the Work Program and submit a formal request to the MPO to amend the TIP. The
amendment package will go to the Board for approval under Consent on October 11, 2024.
The request for additional funding meets the criteria established in MPO Board Resolution 2018 -02 (Attachment
1) in that:
a. FDOT recommends the project be considered; and
b. The project is programmed and underway in the fiscal year the SU funds are available; and
c. The sponsoring agency is capable of meeting FDOT’s deadlines to obligate, encumber and expend the
available funds.
Justin Martin, Public Works Director, City of Marco Island, will give a presentation on the project and the need for
additional funding. (Attachment 2)
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The BPAC voted 8:3 to endorse using SU funds to cover the cost
over-run and associated amendment to the FY 2025-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) at their
meeting on 8/20/24. The TAC and CAC voted unanimously to endorse the request for additional funds and
associated TIP amendment on 8/26/24.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the use of SU funds to enable the City of Marco Island
to complete the project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approve the Use of SU Funds to Cover Construction Cost Over-Run on the County Barn Road Bike/Ped
Project, FPN 438091-1.
OBJECTIVE: For the MPO Board to approve adding $514,947 in SU funds to enable Collier County to complete
a project that is programmed for construction in FY 2025.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County has requested an additional $514,947 in SU funds to cover the construction
cost over-run for the County Barn Road project. Construction is currently funded under two separate project
numbers: FPN 438091-1 and 438091-2. With the approval of the Roll Forward TIP Amendment (agenda item 7A),
the total construction funding for the project is $746,972.
The additional funds requested would bring the total to $1.262 million to complete construction. If the Board
approves this request in addition to the previous agenda item 9B, the remaining balance in FY2025 SU funds will
be approximately $411,000.
The request for additional funding meets the criteria established in MPO Board Resolution 2018 -02 (Attachment
1) in that:
a. FDOT recommends the project be considered; and
b. The project is programmed and underway in the fiscal year the SU funds are available; and
c. The sponsoring agency is capable of meeting FDOT’s deadlines to obligate, encumber and expend the
available funds.
Collier County staff will give a brief presentation on the project, the need for additional funding and the timing for
approvals. Email communications regarding the request are shown in Attachment 2.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The request was submitted after the August CAC and TAC meetings
were held. MPO staff will report the Board’s action to the committees when they meet in September.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the use of SU funds to enable Collier County to
complete the construction phase of the County Barn Road Bike/Ped.

Public Involvement Plan 1-1
1. Introduction
The Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is in the process of updating its Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP). MPOs are required to develop and maintain an LRTP that addresses no less
than a 20-year planning horizon. Additionally, MPOs are required to update their LRTPs on a 5-year cycle
to ensure that the future transportation system is efficient, fosters mobility and access for people and
goods, and enhances the overall quality of life for the community. The first task of the 2050 LRTP Update
is creating a project-specific public outreach campaign associated with this major transportation planning
effort. This Public Involvement Plan (PIP) identifies the outreach efforts and techniques that will be used
to ensure that officials, agencies, local government, interested parties, and the public are provided an
opportunity to participate in the planning process for the LRTP Update. It also outlines the methods that
will be used to measure the effectiveness of the outreach.
The Collier MPO is primarily responsible for managing the demands on the Collier County area existing
transportation network, which includes the City of Naples, City of Marco Island, and Everglades City, and
planning for future needs. The Collier MPO was established in 1982 following the Federal Highway Act
that requires urbanized areas to develop transportation plans and programs as a condition to receive
federal capital or operating assistance. The Collier MPO is governed by federal law (23 United States Code
[USC] 134), with regulations included in 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 450, and uses federal,
state, and local funds to carry out a comprehensive, cooperative, and continuing planning process that
establishes a countywide vision for the transportation system. The LRTP is a central part of achieving this
vision. The Collier MPO is currently governed by a nine-member board of elected officials.
This PIP is consistent with the Collier MPO Public Participation Plan (PPP) adopted February 8, 2019, and
amended June 12, 2020.

2. Phases of the LRTP Process
The major steps in the public participation process are matched to the following major milestones in the
LRTP development process:
Land Use and Socioeconomic Data Development
Data Review and Analysis
Needs Plan Development
Transportation Alternatives
Alternatives Testing
Financial Resource Analysis
Cost Feasible Plan
Draft 2050 LRTP
Adoption
During each phase of LRTP planning, as identified on Figure 2-1, various techniques for outreach and
information sharing will be employed. These techniques include public workshops, focus groups, public
hearings, newsletters, a project-specific website, and public service announcements. Each phase's outreach
techniques are detailed in this PIP.

The Collier MPO is required under state and federal laws to develop the documents identified on
Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2. Collier MPO Required Documents
Updated every 5 years, the
LRTP identifies needed
improvements to the
transportation network and
provides a long-term
investment framework that
addresses current and future
transportation needs.
The Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP)
identifies transportation
projects and priorities that
will be pursued over the next
5 years.
A 2-year plan, the Unified
Planning Work Program
(UPWP) identifies funding
sources for each MPO
planning activity and a
schedule of activities.
This document provides a
framework for public
involvement regarding MPO
planning-related activities.
The Collier MPO’s jurisdiction includes Collier County and the cities of Naples, Marco Island, and
Everglades City, as identified on Figure 2-3.
Collier County has an estimated 2023 population of 404,310. The 2023 median household income in
Collier County is $82,011 compared with $67,917 for the state of Florida as a whole. The 2023 percent of
households below poverty level is 10.3% in Collier County, compared with 12.7% for Florida.1
Collier County has large land areas that are mostly state and federal conservation lands. The conservation
lands provide recreational opportunities and help sustain the area’s natural environment. They also
constrain development. These conservation lands buffer Collier County from the intense traffic impacts
and pressures that interconnectivity brings to urban areas. As a result, Collier County has a minimal system
of federal aid eligible roadways, which limits the availability of state and federal funding for the MPO.

3. Public Involvement Requirements
The primary goal of this PIP is to ensure that all citizens – regardless of race, color, religion, national origin,
sex, age, disability, or familial status – have an equal opportunity to participate in the MPO’s decision-
making process. This PIP was developed to comply with federal and state public involvement
requirements for MPOs in Florida.
Federal public involvement requirements, as identified in 23 CFR § 450.316(a), specific to the LRTP state
that the following parties should be included in the development of the LRTP:
Individuals
Affected Public agencies
Representatives of public transportation employees
Public ports
Freight shippers
Providers of freight transportation services
Private providers of transportation
Representatives of users of public transportation
Representatives of users of pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities
Representatives of the disabled
Other interested parties
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL),
introduced a new requirement that the LRTP planning process provide for consideration of projects and
strategies that will promote consistency between transportation improvements and state and local
housing patterns. The BIL also requires MPOs to add affordable housing organizations to the list of
stakeholders. The following organizations promote Affordable Housing in Collier County:
Collier County Growth Management Department, Economic Development & Housing Division
Collier County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
Habitat for Humanity of Collier County
Guidance from Federal Strategies for Implementing Requirements for LRTP Updates for the
Florida MPOs (FDOT 2018) states that, for LRTPs, MPO Boards, and their advisory committees,
the public should have the opportunity to periodically review the LRTP products, interim tasks,
and reports that result in the final LRTP documentation.
A review and comment period of the draft LRTP will be provided for a minimum of 30 days as identified in
the Collier MPO’s PPP. After the end of the public and agency review period, a minimum of 14 days will be
provided to respond to any public or agency comments before proceeding with the LRTP adoption by the
Collier MPO Board. Furthermore, this guidance also states that final adopted LRTP documentation should
be available electronically via the internet; it should be available at the MPO offices no later than 90 days
after adoption.
Table 3-1 summarizes the federal and state statutes, regulations, and rules related to public involvement
for MPOs.
Chapter 9 of the FDOT MPO Program Management Handbook also identifies federal requirements for
public involvement (FDOT 2022).

5. Planning Partners
Throughout the LRTP Update, the MPO will coordinate with government agencies for additional outreach.
The purpose is to build relationships and identify strategies to bring former nonparticipants into the
planning process of the LRTP Update.
5.1 MPO Board
The MPO Board establishes transportation policies and evaluates transportation needs for the area. The
Board comprises nine elected officials, as identified on Figure 5-1, which includes the five members of the
Collier County Board of County Commissioners, two representatives from the City of Naples, one
representative from the City of Everglades City, and one representative from the City of Marco Island.
FDOT is represented on the board as a nonvoting member. Throughout the LRTP Update process, the MPO
Board will be engaged through a series of meetings and updates. As shown on Figure 5-2, the LRTP is
guided and developed by the MPO committees, plans, and stakeholders, which then require MPO Board
approval.

5.2 Florida Department of Transportation
FDOT and the MPO work closely together and have a long-standing partnership. The majority of the MPO’s
funding comes through FDOT. The Department also provides guidance and assistance as needed and
informs the MPO of new or different requirements and practices.
5.3 MPO Adviser Network and Committees
The MPO will engage with its standing committees throughout the LRTP Update. The following lists the
existing MPO advisory committees:
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC): Advises the MPO on technical matters; promotes coordination
among member agencies regarding transportation planning and programming; reviews MPO products
for technical sufficiency, accuracy, and completeness; makes priority recommendations for the LRTP;
and provides technical analyses on other transportation planning issues.
Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC): Advises the MPO by reviewing, reacting to, and providing
comment on transportation planning issues and needs from the citizens’ perspective.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC): Provides citizen input on bicycle- and pedestrian-
related issues within the community, advises on developing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that is
responsive to the needs of the community, recommends policies that will improve the walking and

bicycling environment, recommend priorities for bicycle and pedestrian projects and program
implementation.
Congestion Management Committee (CMC): Advises on technical matters related to updating the
MPO’s Congestion Management Process (CMP) and coordinating the CMP with regional Congestion
Management System and Intelligent Transportation System architecture.
Local Coordinating Board (LCB) for Transportation Disadvantaged: Assists the MPO in identifying
local service needs, providing information and direction to the Community Transportation Coordinator
(Board of County Commissioners) on the coordination of services.
Adviser Network: Established in 2018, it serves as an additional mechanism for citizen involvement
with the objective of increasing participation by local residents who may not have the time to
participate on a standing committee. Appendix A contains the Adviser Network.
While not part of the Collier MPO Board advisory committees, the Public Transit Advisory Committee
(PTAC) as well as the Collier County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) provide input to the
LRTP through advisory to the Collier Area Transit (CAT) and the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners (BCC), respectively.
PTAC: The committee advises on the Transit Development Plan (TDP) Major Update, which is
incorporated in the transit element of the LRTP.
Collier County AHAC: This committee reviews policies, procedures, ordinances, land development
regulations, and adopted local government comprehensive plans. Committee members provide
recommendations to the BCC for actions and initiatives that will facilitate affordable housing within the
County which is incorporated into the LRTP.
5.4 State and Federal Land Management Agencies
The MPO will contact federal and state agencies and officials responsible for other planning activities
within the MPO’s jurisdiction to ensure their opportunity to participate in the LRTP Update. These agencies
have been added to the email distribution list and include the following:
Federal Land Management Agencies
- National Park Service (Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve)
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Ten Thousand
Island National Wildlife Refuge)
State Land Management Agencies
- National Estuarine Research Reserve – Rookery Bay and Cape Romano – The Thousand

5.5 Intergovernmental Coordination
5.5.1 Tribes
In June 2016, the MPO adopted a Government-to-Government Public Involvement Policy affecting Tribal
entities to promote Tribal involvement in the MPO planning process, initiate and maintain a positive
working relationship between the MPO and Tribal governments, and promote effective collaboration and
communication between the MPO and Tribes. Federal laws (23 USC 135(f)(2), 23 CFR 450.316(c), and 23
CFR 450.316(e)), require MPO and FDOT Tribal consultations for transportation planning. Additionally, if a
Tribe wishes to access federal transportation funds available to MPOs, the Tribe must do so through the
MPO processes as provided by law.
There are two federally recognized Tribes with land holdings within or abutting Collier County:
The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, represented by the Business Council consisting of Chairman,
Assistant Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, and Lawmaker
The Seminole Tribe of Florida, represented by the Tribal Council consisting of Chairman, Vice
Chairman, Big Cypress Councilman, Brighton Councilman, and Hollywood Councilman
5.5.2 Lee County MPO Interlocal Agreement
The MPO also has an Interlocal Agreement with the Lee County MPO to coordinate regional transportation
planning. The purpose of this agreement is to promote and establish a forum for communication and
coordination between the Collier and Lee County MPOs. The agreement establishes the commitment by
both MPOs to develop joint regional transportation planning products and processes for the two-county
region of Collier and Lee counties within targeted timeframes.
Both MPOs agree to maintain and update as necessary the joint regional multimodal transportation
system and to identify a network of regionally significant transportation corridors, facilities, and services.
During the development of each MPO’s 2050 LRTP, the MPOs will coordinate to ensure that regional
roadway, transit, and bicycle connecting corridors are planned jointly during the development of each of
the MPO’s Needs and Cost Feasible Plan.

6. Equitable Communication
U.S. Census data will be used for demographic and socioeconomic information to enhance equitable
communication and supplement the public engagement process.
6.1 Equity Screen
The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, as directed in Executive Order 14008, identifies
communities that are acknowledged to experience burdens in eight categories, which include climate
change, energy, health, housing, legacy pollution, transportation, water and wastewater, and workforce
development. The communities identified by the tool as overburdened and underserved will be used to
target benefits from programs in the Justice40 Initiative, which strives to provide 40% of the overall
benefits of investments in climate, clean energy, and related areas to disadvantaged communities (CEQ
2024).
A total of 18 census tracts within Collier County were identified as disadvantaged according to the Climate
and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEQ 2024). Appendix B includes a summary of Disadvantaged
Census Tracts in Collier County. To enhance the public engagement process for equitable engagement,
the focus will be on these disadvantaged census tracts.

7. Public Outreach Techniques
This section describes the public engagement tools that can be used in the 2050 LRTP Update to keep
local government officials, agencies, the public, and other interested parties informed of the project and to
allow them opportunities for input.
The schedule of the outreach activities will follow the key phases of the 2050 LRTP Update to ensure that
the public will have ample time to review and consider the technical analysis and to help determine
project priorities. The schedule is shown on page 9-2.
Public involvement will include the distribution of electronic and printed materials, public service
announcements, email correspondence, web/social media, and presentations and public meetings to
inform and engage the public. A web page for the LRTP Update will be used as the major conduit for
distributing project information to keep stakeholders and the public informed of the progress of the LRTP.
A Quick Response code will be created to allow the public immediate access to view the LRTP web page
using cell phone applications and will be provided in newsletters and other distribution materials, as well
as on the cover of the draft and final plan.
Electronic newsletters will include detailed information about the project. Local media will be used to
announce upcoming meetings, as well as major project accomplishments. The MPO’s contacts database
will be used to ensure that community stakeholders are informed of the LRTP Update and given the
opportunity to provide their input. The traditionally underserved communities such as seniors, low-income
residents, minorities, and children, will be informed of the LRTP process through additional means. Notice
of public meetings is required at least 7 days in advance via website, email listserv, and email to advisory
committee members, Adviser Network, and Tribal agencies.
7.1 Branding/Messaging
Branding/messaging is an important strategy in helping make the public aware of the LRTP and
encouraging participation and engagement. The 2050 LRTP Update is branded with the following images
presented in Figure 7-1. The 2050 logos will be used interchangeably. The logo with “Long Range
Transportation Plan” will be used on most LRTP related documents. The logo with “Connecting
Communities” will be used in public outreach materials to emphasize that the LRTP Update will focus on
connectivity to bridge communities, neighborhoods, and people through a well-designed transportation
network. The branding stamp presented as Figure 7-2 will be used in both documents and public outreach
materials to emphasize that they are part of the development of the 2050 LRTP.

7.2 Visualization Techniques
Multiple visualization techniques can be used to convey complicated transportation scenarios to
stakeholders. Maps generated from geographic information system databases or computer-aided design,
as well as pictures and graphics, will be used to help communicate complex concepts and to promote
understanding of transportation plans and programs.
7.3 Social Media and Digital Advertising
The MPO will use established social media presence of MPO Partners and the Adviser Network to
organically connect with stakeholders and grow participation during the 2050 LRTP Update. The MPO
periodically posts information on Collier County’s social media, which has almost 90,000 followers
combined through Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly known as Twitter). Social media may be
supplemented through paid advertisements for additional outreach on platforms such as Facebook,
Google, and others.
Social media platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Instagram, can encourage
community members to complete an LRTP survey through the placement of interactive posts in news
feeds and interest groups. By initiating paid advertising, these posts can reach a wider audience by
targeting groups within a specific radius or block of zip codes. Posts can also target individuals by lifestyle,
interests, and other demographics.
A robust social media and digital outreach campaign will further the delivery of promotional content
through various online and digital channels. The project team will create a strategy to leverage and
maximize efficiency, reaching target audiences where they are and when they are most apt to engage. The
approach will include pushing the 2050 LRTP project message across social media platforms and using
geofencing to capture people traveling specific corridors and geographic destinations – whether in cars,
freight and delivery trucks, transit, bicycles, scooters, and other modes of transportation. These techniques
are cost effective and efficient methods for expanding outreach and encouraging participation in
meetings, online surveys, and to drive traffic to the project website. Social media and digital outreach
platforms garner a high return on investment. All graphics and collateral created will follow Collier MPO’s
brand style guidelines and approved messaging.
7.4 Electronic Exhibits and Materials
Presentations, notices, and handouts will be prepared and distributed (per phase) during the LRTP Update.
The necessary materials and exhibits will be posted on the LRTP web page of the MPO website, and they
also will be distributed through electronic notifications, social media, public engagement tools, and at
information booths.
The Collier MPO releases a monthly eNewsletter in digital format to promote meetings and planning study
updates, with Spanish or Haitian Creole translation upon request.

Packet Pg. 323 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan)
Public Involvement Plan 7-3
7.5 Electronic Notifications
The existing MPO master database includes a variety of contacts: businesses, residential associations, state
and federal land management agencies, regional freight representatives, Native American Tribes, the
Adviser Network, and members of the public. These contacts include individuals who already have an
established interest in transportation issues in Collier County. The database includes committee
membership and email addresses. The existing database will be used during the LRTP Update to send
eBlasts of surveys, electronic newsletters, and upcoming meeting information to MPO contacts. Mailing
addresses will be included for individuals who do not have email and require hard copy documents,
surveys, and comment cards to be mailed to them.
7.6 Translation Services
Engaging the diverse population within the MPO area is important. The MPO is committed to providing
quality services to all citizens, including those with limited English proficiency. Outreach materials such as
comment forms and surveys will be translated to Spanish and Haitian Creole, which are the two primary
languages spoken in the Collier County area besides English. Translation services will be available to MPO
staff for consultant-supported outreach when giving presentations to local homeowners and civic
associations and by hosting informational booths at special events located in the MPO’s traditionally
underserved communities.
7.7 Comment Forms
Comment forms will be available at all public meetings, advisory meetings, and information booths.
Comments may be submitted in writing, via email, and through the MPO LRTP web page. All comments will
be tracked, reviewed, and responded to within a timely manner (if necessary). Members of the public will
have at least 30 days to review and comment after a public meeting or engagement. All organizations and
individuals who submit comments in writing or via email and provide their contact information will receive
a written response to their comments. All public responses will be provided to the Collier MPO Director for
review prior to distribution.
Comment forms will include a survey to engage participants on the effectiveness and quality of the
meeting/public engagement event. Outreach methods will be adjusted according to the input of the
surveys.
7.8 Media
The MPO will issue press releases and provide briefings in advance of public meetings and information
booths related to the 2050 LRTP Update. The intention is to build relationships with local television, radio,
and print journalists and reporters to facilitate the public information campaign for the LRTP Update.
Appendix C contains the list of identified media to be used during the LRTP Update.
7.9 LRTP Web Page
The MPO will develop and maintain a web page for the 2050 LRTP Update that will be hosted on the MPO’s
website at the following link: https://www.colliermpo.org/lrtp/. This web page will be used to provide
project information and keep stakeholders and the public informed of the progress of the LRTP. It also will
provide links to active online surveys, comment forms, and online tools for public input.
7.10 WikiMapping
Using the internet to solicit feedback from a large cross section of the public can reduce the amount of
time spent collecting data through formal focus groups, while also seeking enthusiasm for upcoming
planning ideas/projects. WikiMapping collects ideas through images, discussion, and mapping.

7.11 Videos
A pre-recorded PowerPoint presentation will be developed for the Draft 2050 LRTP. This presentation will
highlight the draft Cost Feasible Plan. This presentation will be updated as necessary to reflect the
adopted 2050 LRTP Cost Feasible Plan. The video will be made available on the MPO’s website for viewing.
7.12 Surveys
Two surveys will be conducted during the LRTP Update on the needs and cost feasible plans to gather
information on the public’s transportation needs. Each survey will be available for online distribution and
in-person events. The surveys will be posted on the LRTP web page of the MPO website and they also will
be distributed through electronic notifications, social media, public engagement tools, and at information
booths. Surveys will be developed to better understand the community’s vision, and later surveys will
allow participants to prioritize projects. Sample survey questions include the following:
How do we want to continue growing?
What do we want our transportation system to look like?
How will we fund our shared regional vision?
What steps must be taken to achieve the vision?
7.13 Information Booths and Meetings
To further engage members of the public who reside in traditionally
underserved communities (reference Appendix A) on the LRTP updates,
the MPO will find opportunities to hold up to four popup meetings
located in Immokalee, Golden Gate City, or other disadvantaged census
tracts. Surveys, newsletters, maps, and comment forms will be distributed
in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole (depending on the location). An
example of a popup booth is presented on Figure 7-3.
MPO staff will expand the outreach to traditionally underserved
communities by looking for opportunities to host a popup booth on the
LRTP Update during the development of the TDP and the TDSP.

8. Presentations and Meetings
Verbal and documented comments from the public, staff, and elected officials will be recorded and a
record will be maintained of how comments were addressed in subsequent revisions to the LRTP;
conversely, if comments did not result in revisions, a brief explanation of why will be provided.
8.1 General Public Meetings
Up to six general public meetings will take place during the LRTP Update. Three public meetings will be
held during the development of the Needs Plan and three during the development of the Cost Feasible
Plan. The meetings and locations will be as follows:
Up to four outreach/popup events (Needs Plan and Cost Feasible Plan) in Immokalee, Golden Gate
City, or other disadvantaged census tracts.
Up to two public meetings (Needs Plan and Cost Feasible Plan) that piggyback Collier County
Transportation Management Services project public meeting events.
Again, public comments will be solicited via comment forms at all meetings and opportunities to speak
with staff will be available. Handouts will be provided prior to the meeting via Collier MPO’s website for
participants to review proposed priority projects. Participants will be encouraged to submit their
comments and concerns. A follow-up summary of the meetings will be prepared and posted to the MPO
website.
As identified in the Collier MPO’s PPP (Collier MPO 2020), notifications of public meetings will meet the
following standards:
Posting notices of public meetings, a minimum seven days in advance on the MPO’s website
Posting agenda and meeting packet, to the extent materials are available, on the MPO’s website
Email distribution of agenda and packet to Adviser Network and other interested parties on the MPO’s
contact list
Issuing press release to major local newspapers, television, and radio stations
Emailing MPO Advisory Committee members notice of meetings on topics of interest to the Committee
members as appropriate
Working with Collier County Communications Division to issue a press release a minimum of 48 hours
prior to the meeting
8.2 MPO Board Meetings
Up to four MPO Board Meetings will take place during the LRTP Update to coincide with the major
milestones, as shown on Figure 8-1. The draft Cost Feasible Plan will be presented at a joint regional Lee
County/Collier County MPO Board meeting. The fourth and final meeting will be held to present the Final
2050 LRTP Update to the MPO Board for adoption.
Meeting dates will coincide with the MPO Board Meetings, which are held on the second Friday of the
month at the BCC Chambers.
Each meeting will include a presentation, handout(s), and display boards as necessary. Collier MPO Board
Meetings are broadcasted live and online on Collier Television (Collier TV).

This will allow people who do not have the ability or time to attend the LRTP meeting in person to be able
to participate remotely through live broadcasts or taped meeting coverage. As part of this taped coverage,
a contact number and LRTP website address for public input should be displayed. This will encourage
citizens to provide their comments, even if they cannot attend the meetings. MPO staff will log these
comments to add to the public record.
8.3 MPO Committee Meetings
Up to six MPO Committee Meetings also will take place during the LRTP Update to coincide with major
milestones and need for public and technical staff input. Each meeting will include a presentation,
handouts, and display boards as necessary. Meeting participants will be allocated a certain number of
votes (for example, dots) to place on their preferred projects. Electronic voting also can be used. Comment
forms will be available for participants to detail their specific issues and concerns. These meetings will
coincide with regularly scheduled advisory committee meetings. MPO staff will brief the LCB and solicit
comments from LCB members and the public to expand outreach to transportation disadvantaged
populations during the update of the LRTP.
MPO staff from Lee County and Collier County will participate in the TAC meetings for both MPOs. Collier
MPO and Collier County Transportation Management Services Department 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 LRTPs’ Needs and Cost Feasible Plans.
8.4 Tribal Meetings
Up to two meetings will be offered to each Tribe as follows:
During the initial phase to identify needs and concerns prior to development of the Needs Plan
During the development of the Cost Feasible Plan
MPO staff will initiate communications in accordance with the Collier MPO’s Government to Government
Public Involvement Policy in the MPO’s PPP.

10. Measures of Effectiveness
Clear, measurable objectives for public involvement have been adopted as part of the MPO’s 2020 PPP. To
be consistent, this PIP will follow the same objectives for measurable results.
It is the intent of the MPO to increase the overall attendance levels at meetings and also to increase the
number of comments received from members of the community, including the traditionally underserved
public. Each comment will be counted and recorded and attendance tallies will be carefully monitored.
Public comments and attendance will provide an understanding of the community issues and needs that
must be considered in designing transportation solutions to fit the community needs.
Public engagement outreach and input will be documented throughout the LRTP Update. Public
engagement will be updated and reviewed monthly to summarize outcomes of performance measures.
Performance measures will include the following:
1. Contact Database – Maintain and track numbers of the database of contacts.
2. Adviser Network – Track numbers of Advisers listed and participation in online surveys and
WikiMapping and attendance at public meetings.
3. Public Awareness/Engagement – Report number of events held, number of participants, and number of
comment forms received, which will include evaluation surveys.
4. Social Media – Report activities and number of reactions and comments.
5. Interactive Website – Track opportunities for input and engagement reached.
6. Newsletters – Track distribution and quantity of newsletters sent (electronic and paper).
7. Diversity – Track and report on participation using sign-in sheets by demographics, businesses, and civic
groups.
8. Effectiveness – Track and report on changes that can be directly linked to public comments.
9. Track how many people participated in the LRTP Update.
10. Track public comments and how they affected the outcome of the LRTP.

11. PIP Summary Report
A summary of the LRTP’s outreach techniques and effectiveness will be presented in the PIP Summary
Report. All feedback/comments received during the LRTP Update are documented in the PIP Summary
Report. The summary report, in three parts, will document the MPO planning process, the reasons for
updating the LRTP, and the methodology used during the LRTP process. This report also will show how the
feedback received during the LRTP Update was ultimately incorporated into the final plan. The report will
list the transportation improvement projects identified in the 2050 LRTP Update, how these projects will
be implemented, and contacts for more information regarding additional public participation. The PIP
Summary Report is to be written in nontechnical language, with the final report presented to the MPO
Board and Committees. It will be posted to the MPO website at the conclusion of the planning process. A
summary of public involvement also will be detailed in the final 2050 LRTP Update.
Maps and bulleted text to describe the final 2050 LRTP Update will be prepared and posted to the
website. Additional hard copies of the final report, maps, and summary text will be printed and distributed
to various public locations such as libraries, where this information will be readily available to the public. A
key component of this written material will be the inclusion of contact information for inquiries,
comments, and additional feedback from the public.

Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐1 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.Introduction1.1 What Is the MPO?The Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was created in 1982 following Title 23 of United States Code Section 134 (23 USC §134), Metropolitan Transportation Planning. The federal requirements provide that each urbanized area with a population exceeding 50,000 establish an MPO. Federal law requires that MPOs be governed by a board composed of local elected officials, governmental transportation representatives for all modes of transportation, and appropriate state officials. The Collier MPO is governed by a board of nine voting members and one non‐voting advisor from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), as shown on Figure 1‐1. The Collier MPO’s jurisdiction includes Collier County (hereafter, “the County”) and the cities of Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City (refer to Figure 1-2). The MPO uses federal, state, and local funds to carry out a Continuing, Cooperative, and Comprehensive (3-C) long-range planning process that establishes a Countywide vision for the transportation system. The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a central part of achieving this vision. MPOs are required to develop and update their LRTPs every 5 years to ensure that the future transport-ation system is efficient, fosters mobility and access for people and goods, and enhances the overall quality of life for the community. To carry out its functions, the MPO Board is assisted by several transportation planning committees in addition to its professional staff. These committees consist of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC), Congestion Management Committee (CMC), and the Local Coordinating Board for the Transportation Disadvantaged (LCB).

Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐3 Chapter 1 Introduction Technical Advisory Committee: The TAC consists of tech-nically qualified representatives of agencies within the Collier County Metropolitan Planning Area. TAC members are responsible for planning, maintaining, operating, developing, and improving the transportation system throughout the County and its associated municipalities. They review transportation plans and programs from a technical perspective. The TAC has 13 voting members and 1 non-voting member for a local environmental agency. Per the by-laws for the TAC of the Collier MPO, a representative from a local environmental agency shall be a non-voting member (refer to Figure 1-3). Citizens Advisory Committee: The CAC consists of citizens who represent a cross section of the geographic areas and citizens who represent disabled and minority populations. CAC members are recruited to represent areas including the cities of Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City and the county commission districts of the County’s unincorporated areas. The CAC makes recommendations to the MPO Board from the citizen’s perspective on proposed LRTPs, indi-vidual projects, priorities for state and federal funding, and other transportation issues. The CAC has 13 voting members, including four at-large members (refer to Figure 1-4). Figure 1-3.

The BPAC provides citizen input into the deliberations on bicycle- and pedestrian-related issues within the com-munity and advises the MPO Board on developing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The BPAC is also involved in recommending priorities for bicycle and pedestrian projects and program implementation. Congestion Management Committee: The CMC serves the MPO in an advisory capacity on technical matters relating to the MPO’s Congestion Management System and the regional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) architecture. The committee is responsible for creating and amending the Congestion Management Process (CMP) and for prioritizing candidate congestion manage-ment projects to be funded with federal and state fund-ing. As shown on Figure 1-5, the CMC has 10 voting members including eight members appointed by agencies/jurisdictional departments, and two members appointed by the BPAC and CAC. Figure 1-4.

The LCB also reviews the amount and quality of transit service being provided to the County’s transportation-disadvantaged population. The LCB has 18 voting members and includes representatives from various state and local agencies as well as citizen representatives (refer to Figure 1-6). An elected official is appointed by the MPO Board to serve as chairperson. The Collier LCB meets each quarter and holds at least one public hearing a year. The purpose of the hearings is to provide input to the LCB on unmet transportation needs and any other areas relating to local transportation disadvantaged services. 10.A.3Packet Pg. 379Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;

Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐7 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.2 What Is the Long Range Transportation Plan? The MPO is required to complete an LRTP to receive federal transportation funds. The LRTP must be multi-modal and should include, at a minimum, highway and transit infrastructure improvements. The Collier MPO LRTP includes highway (incorporating freight) and transit modes, and by reference, non‐motorized modes. The LRTP covers a broad range of issues including environ-mental impact, economic development, mobility, safety, security, and quality of life. To comply with federal requirements, the LRTP is produced or updated every 5 years and must maintain a minimum time horizon of 20 years. The previous 2045 LRTP update was adopted on December 11, 2020 (Collier MPO 2020). The Collier MPO 2050 LRTP update began in March 2024. As described in Chapter 3, the Collier MPO 2050 LRTP was developed to ensure consistency with all applicable state and federal requirements guiding the LRTP process. The primary purpose of the 2050 LRTP update is to help citizens, businesses, and elected officials collaborate on developing a multimodal and sustainable transportation system that addresses projected growth over the next 20 years. The 2050 LRTP update identifies needed transportation network improvements and provides a long‐term investment framework to address current and future transportation challenges. During the 2050 LRTP development, the MPO engaged its advisory committees, particularly the TAC and CAC, who reviewed and commented on every aspect of the LRTP. The CMC, BPAC, and the LCB also helped guide the LRTP development by providing expertise on their com-mittee’s corresponding transportation plan. Figure 1-7 presents the MPO committees and the transportation plans within their responsibility (pending). 10.A.3Packet Pg. 381Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;
Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐8 Chapter 1 Introduction As shown on Figure 1‐7, the CMC contributed to the Congestion Management Process (CMP) and Safe Streets and Roads for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (SS4A), which address congestion and safety; the BPAC contributed to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) (pending), which is incorporated into the bicycle and pedestrian section of the LRTP; and Collier County’s Public Transit Advisory Committee (PTAC) contributed to the Transit Development Plan (TDP) Major Update (pending), which is incorporated in the transit section of the LRTP. Funding for each of these plans is described in the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), which is a planning document that describes the MPO’s budget, planning activities, studies, and technical support that are expected to be undertaken within a 2-year period. It is important to note that the TSPR is not being updated for FY2023-FY2024, as it was removed from the UPWP by the MPO Board, and TSPR funds were instead reallo-cated to support the LRTP. Further, the MPO’s informal Adviser Network of com-munity, business, and environmental groups and individual representatives provided essential public input through a series of small group and one-on-one inter-views. Additional public input was gained by conducting outreach to traditionally underserved communities, public meetings, and surveys (pending). While not part of the Collier MPO Board advisory committees, the PTAC as well as the Collier County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) provide input to the LRTP through advisory to Collier Area Transit (CAT) and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), respectively. The AHAC reviews policies, procedures, ordinances, land development regulations, and adopted local government comprehensive plans. Committee members also provide recommendations to the Collier County BCC for actions and initiatives that facilitate affordable housing within the County. 10.A.3Packet Pg. 382Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;

Federal regulations (23 C.F.R. 450.306(a) and (b)) require the LRTP to provide for consideration of projects and strategies that will: Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency Increase the safety and security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight Promote efficient system management and operation Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation Enhance travel and tourism Additionally, in November 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law. The IIJA was enacted as a reauthorization of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which expired in 2021 following a yearlong extension of the original expiration in 2020. The law provides a total of $973 billion of federal funding from FY2022 to FY2026. This includes more than $550 billion for highways, highway safety programs, transit programs, and other transportation programs. The IIJA continues the Metropolitan Planning Program under §11201; 23 U.S.C. 134, which establishes a 3C framework for making transportation investment decisions in metropolitan areas. Program oversight is a joint Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) responsibility. Under the IIJA, the FTA and FHWA issued the 2021 Planning Emphasis Areas required for long-range transportation planning as presented on Figure 1-8. 10.A.3Packet Pg. 384Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;
Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐11 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1-8. 2021 FTA and FHWA Planning Emphasis Areas Source: USDOT (2021) Additionally, under 23 USC § 150, Congress established national goals to ensure the most efficient investment of federal transportation funds by increasing accountability and transparency, and providing for better investment decisions that focus on the following key outcomes. Safety - To achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads Infrastructure Condition - To maintain the highway infrastructure asset system in a state of good repair Congestion Reduction - To achieve a significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway System (NHS) System Reliability - To improve the efficiency of the surface transportation system Freight Movement and Economic Vitality - To improve the national freight network, strengthen the ability of rural communities to access national and international trade markets, and support regional economic development Environmental Sustainability - To enhance the performance of the transportation system while protecting and enhancing the natural environment Reduced Project Delivery Delays - To reduce project costs, promote jobs and the economy, and expedite the movement of people and goods by accelerating project completion through eliminating delays in the project development and delivery process, including reducing regulatory burdens and improving agencies' work practices 10.A.3Packet Pg. 385Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;
Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐12 Chapter 1 Introduction For the County and its municipalities to be eligible for federal and state funds, the MPO must adopt and main-tain a transportation plan covering at least 20 years (the LRTP), and a 5-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which is a fiscally constrained, multimodal program of transportation projects within the Collier Metropolitan Planning Area. The TIP is updated each year and includes highway, bridge, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities; transit; congestion management; road and bridge maintenance; transportation planning; and transportation-disadvantaged projects. Both the LRTP and the TIP are required by federal and state law. The TIP identifies, prioritizes, and allocates funding for transportation projects. Projects in the TIP are included in the existing‐plus‐committed (E+C) component of the MPO’s LRTP. Development of the TIP is a continuous process involving agency staff and public involvement. The adopted TIP and potential TIP project priorities must be consistent with the LRTP. MPOs are governed by federal law (23 USC §134), with regulations included in Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 450 (23 CFR 450). When MPOs were mandated in 1962, federal laws required metropolitan transportation plans and programs be developed through a 3-C planning process. The law intended for MPOs to serve as a forum for collaborative transportation decision-making. Further, planning is to be conducted continually using a cooperative process with state and local officials and public transportation agencies operating within the MPO’s boundaries. Because the Collier MPO serves a population of more than 200,000 people, it meets the federal definition of a Transportation Management Area (TMA) and, therefore, must meet additional federal conditions including the establishment of a CMP. The CMP identifies challenges and solutions to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow along arterial roadways. The CMP is also used as a tool to help identify projects in the TIP and LRTP. As stated previously, the Collier MPO CMC is responsible for creating and amending the CMP. The LRTP must include a financial plan to identify reliable and reasonable funding and estimated allocations needed for its implementation. The cost of projects listed in the LRTP must balance financially with the revenues from funding sources forecasted to be reasonably available over the 20-year LRTP duration. Chapter 3 provides a more detailed account of federal and state financial requirements for the LRTP implementation. The Public Participation Plan (PPP) provides a framework to the public involvement process regarding the MPO planning-related activities. The PPP describes the MPO’s strategies and techniques to inform and engage the public in transportation planning issues to maximize public involvement and effectiveness. PPPs are living documents that should be updated once every 5 years, preferably prior to the LRTP update initiation. In addition to the PPP, each MPO should develop an LRTP-specific PPP or Public Involvement Plan (PIP). The PIP builds from the content and assumptions within the approved PPP and provides additional information, such as specific stakeholders to be engaged, a summary of proposed engagement activities throughout the LRTP development, and an engagement process milestone schedule. A PIP 10.A.3Packet Pg. 386Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;
Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐13 Chapter 1 Introduction was developed for the 2050 LRTP update and is further discussed in Chapter 3. In January 2018, the FHWA and the FTA issued the Federal Strategies for Implementing Requirements for LRTP Updates for the Florida MPOs to the FDOT and the MPOs in Florida (FHWA and FTA 2018). The guidance, commonly referred to as FHWA’s Expectations Letter, outlines the agencies’ expectations for LRTP update development to help MPOs meet the federal planning requirements. In July 2020, FDOT issued a notice that FHWA expected MPOs to also address previous FHWA Expectation Letters from December 4, 2008 (FHWA’s Strategies for Implementing Requirements for LRTP Update for the Florida MPOs) and November 2012 (Federal Strategies for Implementing Requirements for LRTP Update for the Florida MPOs). The Collier MPO 2050 LRTP update’s adherence to the 2018, 2012, and 2008 FHWA’s Expectations Letters is summarized in Appendix A (pending). 1.3.2 State The FDOT Office of Policy Planning develops Planning Emphasis Areas on a 2-year cycle in coordination with MPO UPWP development. The emphasis areas set plan-ning priorities, and MPOs are encouraged to address these topics as they develop their planning programs. These Planning Emphasis Areas also align with the planning priorities of the IIJA. The 2022 FDOT Florida Planning Emphasis Areas are: Safety. FDOT updated the Florida State Highway Safety Plan in 2021, which provides a comprehensive framework for reducing serious injuries and fatalities on all public roads. In addition, FDOT adopted FHWA’s Safe System Approach that recognizes that people make mistakes and that the transportation network should be designed to ensure that if crashes occur, they do not result in fatalities or serious injuries. FHWA’s Safety Performance Management Rule requires states and MPOs to adopt and imple-ment safety performance targets and integrate performance management into each MPO’s LRTP. MPOs are required to show how their LRTP support progress in prioritizing safety and meeting the state target of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Equity. The US Department of Transportation Justice40 Initiative aims to deliver 40% of the benefits of federal investments to disadvantaged communities. The 2045 Florida Transportation Plan (FTP) (2020) established the goal of transportation choices that improve equity and accessibility, to guide policies toward prioritizing strategies and invest-ments that improve equitable access for residents. MPOs should prioritize projects that advance access to opportunities for more affordable transportation services and provide information access for under-served communities of all ages and abilities. 10.A.3Packet Pg. 387Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;
Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐14 Chapter 1 Introduction Resilience. FDOT adopted a resiliency policy in 2020 that aligns with federal definitions and guidance and includes economic prosperity and improved quality for communities and the environment. The policy defines resilience as the ability of the transportation system to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for, withstand, and recover from disruptions. MPOs can address resilience within their planning processes by leveraging work of state-level agencies such as FDOT and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as well as resilience plans from regional and local agencies. Resilience has a prominent role in the MPO’s LRTP and TIP updates. Emphasis should be placed on coordination with agency partners that are responsible for natural disaster risk reduction or those developing local resilience planning initiatives. Another key aspect is considering the additional costs associated with reducing vulnerability of the existing transportation infrastructure to inform a more realistic and cost-effective planning document. Emerging Mobility The 2045 FTP broadened the definition of infrastructure to include enabling technologies and provides key strategies that support the deployment of Automated, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) vehicles as well as new mobility options including ridesharing, micro-mobility, and emerging air and space technologies. This expanded infrastructure may lead to great improvements in safety, transportation choices, and quality of life for Floridians, visitors, and the Florida economy. However, increased deployment of emerging mobility vehicles creates challenges for MPOs because of the substantial speculation and uncertainty about the potential impacts that large-scale deployment of emerging technologies could create. MPOs are continuing to learn how best to address the challenges and opportunities with emerging mobility. In addition to the FDOT Planning Emphasis Areas, the FDOT MPO Program Management Handbook (2024) includes state requirements for LRTP development. With the intent to encourage and promote the safe and efficient management, operation, and development of surface transportation systems, the Florida legislature enacted Section 339.175(6)(b), F.S. (1984), which requires the LRTP to provide for consideration of projects and strategies that will: Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency Increase the safety and security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system—across and between modes—for people and freight Promote efficient system management and operation 10.A.3Packet Pg. 388Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;

Additionally, FDOT’s FTP is updated every 5 years. The FTP is the single overarching plan guiding Florida’s trans-portation future and is a collaborative effort of state, regional, and local transportation partners in the public and private sectors. The FTP does not include specific projects but rather defines goals, objectives, and strat-egies to guide FDOT and partners in developing and implementing policies, plans, and programs. 1.4 Regional Transportation Planning The Collier County Metropolitan Area highways are part of a regional network that not only connects different parts of the County and its municipalities, but also links the County and its municipalities to neighboring counties in the region, to the state, and to the nation. As illustrated on Figure 1-9, business travel between Collier County and its neighbors is significant, especially between Collier County and Lee County. From 2016 to 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) analysis of commuting patterns reported approximately 35,600 daily inter‐county auto-oriented trips between Collier and Lee counties. Figure 1-9. Daily Collier County Work Travel Patterns Source: U.S. Census (n.d.) The Collier MPO provides for creation of a region-wide multimodal transportation planning process in accordance with federal and state guidelines to ensure the coordination of transportation planning and policy activities in FDOT District One. According to the UPWP (approved and adopted May 2024), the Collier MPO performs the following regional transportation planning activities: Participates in the Lee County MPO and advisory committee meetings. Participates and coordinates in the Joint MPO Board and Joint Advisory Committee meetings with Lee County MPO. 10.A.3Packet Pg. 389Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3;

Participates in the FDOT District One Freight Mobility and Trade Plan, freight committees, and regional freight workshops and seminars. The Collier MPO also coordinates with freight stakeholders. Collier MPO has coordinated with Lee County, Charlotte County-Punta Gorda, and Sarasota/ Manatee MPOs to submit an application for a Southwest Florida Rail Study under the Pilot Passenger Rail Priorities Program (PPPP). Further, as shown on Figure 1-10, under state and federal laws, the Collier MPO is required to produce documents that support region-wide transportation planning that include the LRTP, TIP, UPWP, and PPP (as described previously in Sections 1.2 and 1.3). The MPO is also required to conduct performance-based planning by tracking performance measures and establishing data-driven targets to improve those measures. These performance measures are updated every 5 years and included in the LRTP update. Figure 1-10.

3. 2050 LRTP Planning Context and
Decision-Making Framework
3.1 Long Range Vision for Collier County
Transportation
The Collier MPO 2050 LRTP development process began in
early 2024 by establishing the plan’s vision statement, goals,
and objectives. The goals
and objectives help guide
the LRTP process to meet
the Collier MPO’s vision,
while considering federal,
state, and regional
priorities. The LRTP goals
and objectives refine the
Collier MPO’s vision and are
a critical part of the
planning process because
various transportation
projects’ needs are
established based on these
goals and objectives.
3.1.1 Federal
Planning Factors
This 2050 LRTP update addresses federal mandates for regional
transportation planning. As noted in Chapter 1, the guidance,
commonly referred to as FHWA’s Expectations Letter, outlines
the agency’s expectations for the development of LRTP updates
to help MPOs meet the federal planning requirements. FHWA
has not issued an Expectations Letter or any other applicable
MPO LRTP directives since 2018. Therefore, the federal
planning factors have not changed since the 2045 update.
FHWA requires MPOs to incorporate the following ten federal
planning factors in the LRTP. Figure 3-1 summarizes the federal
planning factors in 23 CFR 450.306(b).
Figure 3-1. Federal Planning Factors

“The Collier MPO 2050 Long
Range Transportation Plan
envisions the development of
an integrated, equitable,
multimodal transportation
system to facilitate the safe
and efficient movement of
people and goods while
addressing current and future
transportation demand,
environmental sustainability,
resilience, and community
character.”

3.1.2 Statewide and Metropolitan Planning
Priorities
As noted in the FDOT MPO Program Management Handbook,
Section 339.175(6)(b) of Florida Statutes requires the LRTP to
provide for consideration of projects and strategies that will:
• Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area,
especially by enabling global competitiveness,
productivity, and efficiency
• Increase the safety and security of the transportation
system for motorized and nonmotorized users
• Increase accessibility and mobility options available to
people and for freight
• Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy
conservation, and improve quality of life
• Enhance the integration and connectivity of the
transportation system, across and between modes, for
people and freight
• Promote efficient system management and operation
• Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation
system
• In addition, MPOs are also required to prepare a
congestion management system for the contiguous
urbanized metropolitan area and cooperate with the
department in the development of all other
transportation management systems required by state or
federal law [s.339.175(6)(c)(1)]
3.1.3 Other Local Planning Coordination
Statewide guidance also dictates that the LRTP should
emphasize coordination with local jurisdictions that are within
the MPO (cities of Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City)
and consistency with future land use planning and locally
adopted comprehensive plans of those entities. The LRTP
must also maintain a 20-year planning horizon. As described in
more detail in the following text, local plans that the MPO
considers to be relevant to the LRTP include:
• Collier County Growth Management Plan
• Collier County Community Housing Plan
• City of Naples Comprehensive Plan
• City of Marco Island Comprehensive Plan
• City of Everglades City Comprehensive Plan
3.1.3.1 Collier County Growth Management Plan
The Future Land Use Element of the CCGMP (the County’s
comprehensive plan) was adopted in 1997 and most recently
amended in November 2023 extending the planning period to
2050. The plan’s core principles of growth include:
• Protect natural resource systems and guide development
away from areas of greatest sensitivity
• Coordinate land use and public facilities to develop within
Urban Designated Areas
• Manage coastal development
• Provide adequate and affordable housing
• Attain high-quality urban design
• Improve efficiency and effectiveness in the land use

Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-3 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework
• Protect private property rights
3.1.3.2 Collier County Community Housing Plan
Under the IIJA, MPOs are encouraged to consider and
incorporate housing in their LRTP updates. These
recommendations are outlined in the FDOT Housing
Coordination Quick Guide (FDOT 2023d). Housing plays a
significant role in the transportation network, as it dictates
users’ commute times and travel patterns to employment and
activity centers.
To address the growing population and need for affordable
housing (refer to Figure 3-2), Collier County established the
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, which reviews
policies, procedures, ordinances, land development
regulations, and adopted local government comprehensive
plans. Committee members also provide recommendations to
the Collier County BCC for initiatives which support the
implementation of affordable housing within the County.
The AHAC helps to inform the Collier County Community
Housing Plan (Collier County 2017) that has the central goal of
providing a diverse range of attainable and affordable housing
for all residents. Specific transportation recommendations
from this plan consist of:
Figure 3-2. Future Population Growth and Housing
Source: FDOT (2023d) and University of Florida BEBR (2022)
• Integrate bus routes with affordable housing locations by
identifying corridors for multi-family development,
implementing park-and-ride systems, and exploring bus
rapid transit (BRT) and express service lines
• Enhance bike lane and pedestrian systems by
implementing Comprehensive Pathways Plan and
enhancing safety for vulnerable users
• Create ride-sharing options for enhanced mobility in
remote areas of the County

• Generate revenue for transit and alternative mobility by
establishing sustainable and secure revenue streams,
implementing a recurring revenue source and establishing
uniform standards to determine the impacts on transit
from new development
Since 2018, more than 3,000 new affordable units have been
approved by the Collier County BCC to be built, with 2,108 of
those located in urban areas and 1,783 allocated for the rural
areas and the Census Designated Place of Immokalee. Further,
the Collier County BCC contracted to have 82 affordable
housing rental units built on a 5-acre, county-owned Planned
Unit Development site on Santa Barbara Boulevard. The Board
also purchased and dedicated 22 acres of a county-owned golf
course (Golden Gate Golf Course) for affordable housing
including 252 affordable rental apartments and 120 affordable
senior housing units.
3.1.3.3 City of Naples Comprehensive Plan
The most populous incorporated area in the County, Naples
has a permanent population of 19,300 people. Updates to the
Naples Comprehensive Plan were completed in 2023 to
extend the planning period to 2045 and to incorporate the
City Vision in the Comprehensive Plan. The Vision includes the
following five primary initiatives to guide Naples officials and
staff in determining capital projects, budgeting, and review of
private development:
• Preserve small town character and culture
• Stewardship of land and protection of the environment
• Maintain extraordinary quality of life for residents
• Support economic health and vitality of the businesses
and health care industry that contribute to collective
success and well-being
• Sustain high performing government action, engagement,
and responsiveness
The Transportation Element of the Naples Comprehensive
Plan establishes the goal to provide an efficient, balanced,
attractive, and safe multimodal system of transportation
facilities in accordance with recognized safety standards,
various land use demands, and environmental considerations
unique to Naples.
3.1.3.4 City of Marco Island Comprehensive Plan
Marco Island is home to a permanent population of
approximately 15,800 residents. The Marco Island
Comprehensive Plan was adopted October 4, 2021, with a
horizon year of 2040. The Future Land Use Element sets forth
eight goals, the first of which is focused on livability, aiming to
protect and enhance the City of Marco Island as a highly
livable community with an excellent quality of life, which
encompasses its tropical beaches, resorts and recreational
amenities, abundant natural resources and sensitive coastal
environments, and small-town charm.
The Transportation Element of the Marco Island
Comprehensive Plan establishes the goal to coordinate land
use and transportation plans to support a safe, accessible, and
efficient multimodal transportation system that enhances
livability and small-town character.

3.1.3.5 City of Everglades City Comprehensive
Plan
Everglades City has a permanent population of approximately
350 people. The Everglades City Comprehensive Plan was
adopted July 5, 2022, with a horizon year of 2045. The Future
Land Use Element sets forth the goal to plan future land uses
in a manner that serves the needs of Everglades City residents
and visitors, protects and conserves natural and historic
resources, supports multimodal mobility strategies, and
promotes diversification of the City’s economic base while
protecting maritime uses.
The Transportation Element of the Everglades City
Comprehensive Plan sets forth six objectives, the first of which
is to enhance mobility options. Additionally, an objective to
coordinate with other governmental agencies places emphasis
on MPO coordination and County Road 29 improvements.
3.2 2050 LRTP Goals
The LRTP development process builds on the 2045 LRTP and
input from the Collier MPO Board, advisory committees,
planning partners, and public surveys to establish the long-
range vision statement for the MPO’s transportation system in
2050. The goals and objectives of the LRTP are also
established to help realize this vision.
The LRTP goals and objectives ultimately guide the entire LRTP
development process by creating the basis for a decision-
making framework through which projects can be evaluated
and ranked to define and document project priorities. The
goals of the 2050 LRTP originated in the 2045 LRTP and were
slightly modified to better align with both the federal and
FDOT planning emphasis areas and new requirements set
forth by the IIJA. Additionally, FDOT provided guidance on
Housing in the LRTP in the Housing Coordination Quick Guide
(FDOT 2023d), and these recommendations were
incorporated into the goals and related objectives.
The 2050 LRTP goals consist of:
• Goal #1: Ensure Security of the Transportation System for
Users
• Goal #2: Protect Environmental Resources
• Goal #3: Improve System Continuity and Connectivity
• Goal #4: Reduce Roadway Congestion
• Goal #5: Promote Freight Movement
• Goal #6: Increase the Safety of the Transportation System

3.2.1 Priorities: Goals, Objectives, and
Evaluation Criteria
The 2050 LRTP Goals, Objectives, and Evaluation Criteria are
listed on the following pages. The goals provide a framework
for realizing the LRTP vision (Figure 3-3). The objectives
provide specific guidance on how to achieve each goal.
Evaluation criteria are used to evaluate and compare how
effectively potential transportation projects perform relative
to the goals and objectives.
This LRTP is guided by the goals and objectives, each of which
represents a specific element of how the transportation
system should be managed for the next 25 years. The 11 goals
are intended to maintain Collier County and its incorporated
cities as livable communities and to improve the Countywide
transportation system, keeping pace with growth and
expected demand for transportation services in the region.
The evaluation framework was developed to evaluate and
compare how well potential projects meet each of the
established goals and objectives. For the evaluation
framework, each goal was assigned a weighting factor that
placed more emphasis on certain goals that require more
focus in the Collier MPO transportation system. A project
evaluation criterion shows the advantages and disadvantages
of the proposed projects independently as well as in relation
to each other. As illustrated on Figure 3-3, this goals-and-
objectives-based type of evaluation process is ultimately used
to develop the recommendations and prioritize transportation
projects in the Needs Assessment and Cost Feasible Plan.
To support the performance-based process emphasized in the
IIJA, the following pages present defined goals and objectives
and the related evaluation criteria with performance
measures applied to evaluate each proposed project.
Goal #1: Ensure Security of the Transportation
System for Users
The primary security issue for Collier
County residents relates to
implementation of sound emergency
management plans. The primary
threat to the County is extreme

designed to provide a framework through which Collier
County may prevent or mitigate the impacts of, prepare for,
respond to, and recover from natural, manmade, and
technological hazards that could adversely affect the health,
safety and general welfare of residents and visitors to the
County. Additionally, this plan establishes the National
Incident Management System as the standard for tasked
agencies to use in responding to emergency events. The plan
identifies 23 hazards of which 12 hazards were identified as
High Risk because of their widespread potential impact. These
12 High Risk hazards include flood, tropical cyclones, severe
storms, wildfire, drought, extreme heat, sea level rise, winter
storms and freeze, tsunami, major transportation incidents,

3.3 Applying Priorities to Decision-Making
The 2050 LRTP development process builds upon the 2045
LRTP and input from the MPO Board, advisory committees,
planning partners, and public input (surveys) to establish the
long-range vision statement for the MPO’s transportation
system in 2050. The goals and objectives of the transportation
plan are established to help realize this vision. The goals and
objectives of the LRTP ultimately guide the entire LRTP
development process by creating a decision-making
framework through which projects can be evaluated and
ranked to define and document project priorities.
3.3.1 Evaluation Criteria for Project Selection
Like the goals and objectives, the 2050 LRTP evaluation
criteria (refer to Table 3-1) build upon the evaluation criteria
established in the 2045 plan. Evaluation criteria are used to
evaluate and then compare how well potential transportation
projects meet the goals and objectives. The evaluation criteria
under each goal are assigned performance measures that are
used to “score” each project against the criteria. Evaluation
criteria are based on a point system in which the total score
represents how well a project meets the goal. Ultimately, this
type of evaluation is used to develop the recommendations
and prioritize transportation projects.
The evaluation criteria and performance measures listed in
Table 3-1 demonstrate the scoring methodology for project
evaluation and selection, creating an actionable way for the
vision, goals, and objectives to shape project selection and
prioritization.

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.

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.
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 September 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.
A Zero Emission Fleet Transition Plan is being conducted to evaluate the potential impacts and
feasibility of a deployment plan to incorporate zero emission buses into Collier Area Transit’s services
and facilities.
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/Safe Streets for All Action 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 Safe Streets for All Action Plan is a comprehensive safety action plan that supports FDOT’s Vision
Zero goals, provides a framework to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on roadways, and improves
the safety, health, and well-being of residents and visitors. The Action Plan is expected to be completed
by November 2025.
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
11.B.2
Packet Pg. 452 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative

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 $195,044 in FY 2022/23 and $179,011
in FY 2023/24 for a total of $374,055. 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

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

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.

Packet Pg. 456 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative
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.

UPWP TASK OVERVIEW
The FY 2022/23-2023/24 UPWP covers the fiscal years starting July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2024.
The specific planning activities to be undertaken over the next two years by MPO staff are organized
into eight tasks, each of which includes individual activities. A brief overview of each of these tasks is
provided below:
1. Administration
Administrative tasks provide for the primary management of MPO activities, including but not
limited to, staff time to organize and conduct MPO Board and advisory committee meetings, public
involvement efforts, and to participate in intergovernmental activities. In addition, this section
includes all necessary expenditures to maintain operations, capital expenditures, Federal and State
compliance documentation and all fiscally related tasks such as audits, progress reporting,
maintenance of financial records, and the preparation of annual administrative reports, such as the
UPWP, are also included. This task will include any necessary updates to agreements or documents
related to the 2020 Census.
2. Data Collection / Development
Task activities in this section includes those needed to monitor and analyze travel behavior and
factors affecting travel, such as socio-economic, land use, environmental, air quality, safety,
security and freight and transportation system data. Evaluation of the data collected in this section
is used for both long and short range planning for the transportation system.
3. Transportation Improvement Program Maintenance and Development
This task annually provides for the development of the TIP, a five-year program of transportation
improvements. The TIP will be developed in cooperation with FDOT and the local governments.
Transportation projects will be drawn from the currently adopted MPO Long Range Transportation
Plan to ensure the program’s consistency relative to priorities and financial constraints. The
prioritization methodology for each State and Federal funding project category will be detailed in
the introduction of each pertinent section of the TIP. Regionally significant projects, regardless of
funding source, are also included in the Transportation Improvement Program. The TIP also
includes a list of multi-modal unfunded State, county and municipal projects that have been
prioritized by the MPO Board.
Task activities in this section include establishing project priorities, annually updating the TIP and
reviewing transportation plans and reports for use in many other UPWP sections and tasks,
including short range planning, the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Transit Planning, and
project planning.

Alternatives Discussion
Collier County:
For Hurricane Irma, the repairs involved replacement of the Type B barbwire and chain link fence at the
limits of the limited access right-of-way along a 50-mile stretch of I-75 (Alligator Alley) due to flooding,
wind damage, and isolated tree damage. The total cost was $250,000, which was eligible for federal
reimbursement. Due to the low-lying elevation of I-75 along Alligator Alley, proximity to the adjacent
canals, and physical location of the limited access fencing adjacent to the right-of-way line, mitigative
action is not practical. A chain link fence is the most cost-effective way to secure limited access right-of-
way. Restoration of the chain link fence damaged by Hurricane Irma cost $5,000 per mile – a relatively
inexpensive repair. Additionally, many of the trees that impacted the fence are located outside the
right-of-way. In order to remove them, additional right-of-way would need to be acquired.
For Hurricane Ian, we are repairing a total of seven (7) light poles at a cost of $8,000. The repairs involve
replacement of seven (7) luminaire and bracket arms and leveling of one (1) of the light pole
foundations. These repairs were ineligible for federal reimbursement due to the small number of poles
affected, minor nature of the repairs, and the sporadic distance between them over this 0.4-miles
section of I-75. Due to the low cost associated with these FHWA-ineligible repairs relative to complete
replacement of the lighting system in this area to meet current design standards and wind loading
requirements, mitigative action is unwarranted at this time.

Thanks Dasha,
I’ll prepare an Admin Mod to add the report as an Appendix to the TIP and add the MPO’s
address to the cover, and distribute it according to our PPP. Do we need to repost the TIP with
the admin mod in place to the GAP system?

Anne, as I was advised by the liaison team:
They just need to reference the report in the TIP document and list the projects that are in it
and be sure to have those projects listed in the projects listing at the end or added as an
appendix.
You may attach the report as an appendix to the TIP.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Dasha

Good afternoon Anne, I am working on getting an answer for you – need other liaisons or
OPP assistance.
Thank you for your patience.

Hi Dasha,
When’s a good time to discuss how to reference the Part 667 Report? I’ve highlighted the text
on p5 of the March 2024 report (attached) that indicates FDOT “will review draft TIPs to
determine if evaluations for other [other than NHS] roads, highways and bridges are required
before the MPO’s TIP is included in the STIP; and “If an evaluation is required, liaisons will work
with the MPO to ensure evaluations in this report are considered in their respective TIIP.”
On page A2 of the report, two evaluations are reported on the NHS (I-75): one after Hurricane
Irma and one after Hurricane Ian. Neither FPN number is in the MPO TIP.
There is no explanation as to what the MPO should do with this information. Should we include
the attached pdf of the Report in an appendix to the TIP? Should we mention the report in the
narrative? I would need some guidance from FDOT on what to say about it.
Regards,
Anne McLaughlin

Good Afternoon Anne,
The Office of Policy Planning has completed their review of the Adopted TIPs for all 27 MPOs.
They have found that.
Collier MPO, MPO address not provided in initial pages and Part 667 Report not
referenced
If you feel the review comment provided is in error, reach out to the me and we will work with
the OPP team.
I will contact the OPP team when this is completed.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Dasha
