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. Prepared By: Dusty May Hansen, Senior Planner ATTACHMENT(S) 1.

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.

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. 4.B.1 Packet Pg. 18 Attachment: Track Changes document showing additions/deletions to the initial TDSP (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |71  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.

Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |7 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. Organizational Chart Figure 1 on the following page displays the organizational structure of the entities involved in the delivery of TD services in Collier County. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 44 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |9 Figure 1: Organizational Structure for TD Service Delivery 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 45 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |10 Consistency Review of Other Plans Other plans reviewed during the preparation of this TDSP are listed below along with some examples of language included in the plans that are supportive of TDSP initiatives.

In addition to the LCB membership, other transportation partners, including transportation-disadvantaged passengers and human service and community-based organizations, are notified of the meetings. Throughout the year, the MPO provides a variety of opportunities to share information and gain input from the public (and regional partners) regarding its projects and initiatives. Examples of staff activities include holding an annual public workshop to provide information on the TD program and solicit input from the public and users of the TD service, information booths at various public meetings, FDOT- and FHWA-sponsored Civil Rights training, joint regional meetings with the Lee County MPO and the Lee County Technical Advisory Committee, and various meetings held by the Cities of Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City. The MPO actively tracks and responds to all public comments and inquiries received via email or phone and will continue to monitor annually to see if any changes to the process are needed to improve its public involvement efforts. In accordance with the Collier MPO’s Public Participation Plan, the adoption date and opportunity to comment for the TDSP Major Update was advertised on transit vehicles. Flyers were also sent to the MPO’s database of transportation-disadvantaged contacts that include dialysis centers, nursing homes, day centers, and public gathering locations. The draft TDSP Major Update was posted to the MPO’s website for a 30-day public comment period, which was advertised by legal ad, press release, list-serve email notification, and an article on the MPO’s website. Notification of the public comment period and adoption date was distributed to the MPO’s public involvement agencies. The draft document was sent to LCB members, the Florida Department of Transportation, and the Southwest Florida Regional Workforce Development Board for review and comment. Representatives from Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC attended LCB meetings on September 6 and October 4, 2023, to present the draft and final document and address questions from LCB members and members of the public. The draft document was also presented to The Public Transportation Advisory Committee, the Technical Advisory Committee, and the Citizens Advisory Committee. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 51 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |16 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.

With one exception, the population age distribution in Collier County is nearly like the State of Florida. The population aged 65 years and older is approximately 12 percent higher than the same age group statewide. In each of the other age group categories, the difference is no more than 4.6 percent as shown in Table 2.

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. Table 5: Collier County's Top 10 Largest Employers, 2021 Source: Top 100 employers. Florida Gulf Coast University, August 2021. https://www.fgcu.edu/cob/reri/resources/top-100 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.

The leisure and hospitality sectors are reported to be the lowest paying sector in Collier County but can also be the most demanding during the seasonal months for many of its workers. When looking further Collier County is comparable to the State of Florida salary averages for each respective sector with the financial sector being the largest difference at approximately 32.2 percent.

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.

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.

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. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 62 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |27 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.

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 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. $0.00 $1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Cost Per Total Mile 0.00 0.20 0.40 0.60 0.80 1.00 1.20 1.40 1.60 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Accidents Per 100,000 Vehicle Miles 0 20 40 60 80 100 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Vehicle Miles Between Road Calls (000's) 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 69 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |34 Table 15: Peer CTC Characteristics Source: Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantage: Annual Performance Reports, 2022 Peer Comparison: Demographics 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 Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantage: Annual Performance Reports, 2022 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.

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.

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 $5.10 $6.55 $4.24 $4.62 $6.00 $4.54 $5.73 $5.18 $0.00 $2.00 $4.00 $6.00 $8.00 Bay Charlotte Escambia Manatee Okaloosa Pasco Collier Peer Average Cost Per Total Mile 0.87 0.00 0.61 1.53 1.4 0.14 1.36 0.76 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 Bay Charlotte Escambia Manatee Okaloosa Pasco Collier Peer Average Accidents Per 100,000 Veh.

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 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.

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.

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. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 79 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |44 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. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 80 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation 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. Goals, Objectives, and Strategies CAT’s mission is to provid e safe, accessible, and courteous public transportation services to our customers. The mission of the newly rebranded CAT Connect (formerly known as Collier Area Paratransit) is to i dentify and safely meet the transportation needs of Collier County, through a courteous, dependable, cost- effective, and environmentally sound team commitment. The following goals and objectives have been adopted to further the missions above. GOAL 1: Implement a fully coordinated transportation system. Objective 1.1 Maximize coordination with public, private, and human service agencies, and other transportation operators. Objective 1.2 Coordinate with other counties and FDOT to evaluate and implement mutually beneficial transportation services such as the expansion of cross-country connections. Objective 1.3 Explore efforts to increase the effective use of transportation services, including providing alternative transportation sources and public education about those options. Strategy 1.1.1 Continue coordination efforts with City and County departments to ensure the inclusion of transit- supportive elements in development plans and affordable housing/economic development initiatives. Strategy 1.1.2 Coordinate with FDOT District One Commuter Services to complement CAT outreach efforts to major employers and to identify service expansion needs and ridesharing opportunities. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 82 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |47 Strategy 1.1.3 Maintain ongoing communication with coordinated providers to assess needs and maximize access to available funding sources.

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. Accessing Services To obtain an application, schedule a trip, or any other questions customers may contact CAT Connect Monday through Saturday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. by calling (239) 252-7272, 239-252-7777 or 1-(800) 550-9348 or online at https://www.ridecat.com/paratransit/about-catconnect.

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.

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 F Y19 805,336 FY20 642,428 FY21 574,101 FY22 662,396 Fixed Route Ridership FY 2018-FY2022 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 95 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation 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. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 99 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |64 Local Complaint and Grievance Procedure The Local Coordinating Board has adopted the Collier County local complaint and grievance procedures as follows: If someone is not satisfied and/or disagrees with a decision made as it relates to program eligibility or the provision of service, that individual has the right to file a grievance or to request an appeal within 60 days of the decision. For appeals to the No Show/Late Cancellation suspension, passengers must submit a written appeal within 15 business days from the date of the suspension letter. When contacting CAT to express concern with any aspect of the service, customers may call 239-252-5840, write to CAT Connect at 8300 Radio Road, Naples, Florida 34104, complete an online form available at www.ridecat.com, or speak to someone in person. When sending a written complaint please include details such as time, date, location, and a description of the problem you experienced. This will help in determining the appropriate personnel to contact to resolve any issues(s) as quickly as possible. CAT’s complete Complaint Resolution Policy is provided in Appendix F. For those that are not satisfied with the resolution of the complaint, appellants also have the option to file a grievance or call the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged Ombudsmen Hot Line at 1-800-983-2435. The process to file a grievance or to request an appeal is described below. Step One: The customer shall first contact the PTNE Division Director and the entity with which they have the grievance. The PTNE Director will attempt to mediate and resolve the grievance. The PTNE Director will render a decision in writing within 14 days. The customer may also contact the CTD Ombudsman representative through the established Helpline at 1-800-983-2435 or by mail to: Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, 605 Suwannee Street MS-49, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 or by email at www.dot.state.fl.us/ctd.

This request shall be made within ten (10) working days of receipt of the report received from the PTNE Director. The request shall be sent to the Collier MPO TD Program Administrator at: Collier MPO Attn: Executive Director 2885 Horseshoe Drive South Naples, FL 34104 (239) 252-5884 collier.mpo@colliercountyfl.gov 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 100 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |65 Step Three: Upon receipt of the written request for the grievance to be heard by the Grievance Committee, the Collier MPO TD Program Administrator shall have fifteen (15) working days to contact Grievance Committee members and set a meeting date and location. The customer and all parties involved shall be notified of the meeting of the Grievance Committee date and location at least ten (10) working days prior to the meeting date by the method requested by the customer. Step Four: Upon conclusion of the meeting, the Grievance Committee must submit a written report of the Grievance Committee proceedings to the Chairperson, or the Vice Chairperson in his/her absence, of the LCB within ten (10) working days. The report must outline the grievance and the Grievance Committee’s findings/recommendations. If the grievance is resolved through the meeting process, the grievance process will end. The final report will be forwarded to the members of the LCB. The Local Coordinating 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. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 101 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |66 Table 28: CTD Calculated Rates FY 2024/2025 CTD Rate Model Ambulatory Trip $38.55 Wheelchair Trip $66.08 Group Trip-Individual $24.20 Group Trip-Group $44.71 Source: 2024 Collier County FY2024-2025 TD Approved Rate Model Worksheet 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.

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. 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 104 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |69 Appendices 4.B.2 Packet Pg. 105 Attachment: Amendment to Collier County’s 2023 TDSP Major Update (clean copy) (29853 : Ratify an Amendment to the Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN |70 Appendix A: 2023 Collier County Private Transportation Providers Item No. 1 A Blue Ribbon Transportation Services Co.46 Luxury Taxi Service of SWFL Inc. d/b/a Luxury Taxi Service 2 A-rrive Transportation LLC 47 Maintain Domain Etc.

CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas. 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.

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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 142 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 5 | P a g e 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. - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar FY23 v FY24 -Monthly Ridership Comparison FY23 Ridership FY24 Ridership 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 143 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 6 | P a g e 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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 144 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 7 | P a g e Figure 2-3 System Map 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 145 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 8 | P a g e Figure 2-4 Route 29 Beach Trolley 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 146 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 9 | P a g e Capital Equipment, Facility Changes and Improvements There are currently two (2) passenger transfer stations and five (5) passenger transfer points provided on the CAT system, identified as transfer stations, shown in Figure 2-3. The two transfer stations are located at the Intermodal Transfer Facility at the government complex and the CAT Radio Road Operations facility. Other transfer point locations include: Walmart Plaza; Pine Ridge and Goodlette- Frank Rd (Magnolia Square Plaza); Coastland Center; Creekside (Immokalee Road); and the Health Department in Immokalee, which is currently under maintenance for improvements. Intermodal Transfer Facility CAT Operations and Transfer Station 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.

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.

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.

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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 153 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 16 | P a g e Table 3-1 CAT TDP APR 2024–2033 Implementation Plan (Plan from FY 23 TDP APR) Previous Revised 10-Year 10-Year Implementation Implementation Operating Cost Capital Cost Existing or New Service Improvements Year Year YOE YOE Revenues Maintain Existing Service $117,818,191 $20,769,768 Maintain Existing Fixed-Route Service 2023 2024 $68,693,299 $15,836,143 Existing Maintain Existing Paratransit Service 2023 2024 $49,124,892 $4,742,027 Existing Replacement of Support Vehicles 2023 2024 $0 $191,598 Existing Route Network Modifications $9,441,652 $2,153,818 Realign Route 13 shorten to 40 min. headway 2024 2025 $0 $0 Existing Realign Route 14 operate at 60 min. headway 2024 2025 $0 $0 Existing Realign Route 21 create Marco Express 2025 2026 $0 $0 Existing Realign Route 23 headway 60 to 40 minutes 2024 2025 $3,805,909 $503,771 Existing Golden Gate Pkwy Split Route 25 E-W Route 2028 2029 $0 $0 Existing Goodlette Frank Rd - Split Route 25 N-S Route 2028 2029 $1,838,052 $550,016 Unfunded Immokalee Rd - Split Route 27 E-W Route 2028 2029 $1,898,845 $550,015 Unfunded Collier Blvd - Split Route 27 N-S Route 2028 2029 $1,898,846 $550,016 Unfunded Increase frequency $20,046,823 $4,048,022 Route 15 from 90 to 45 min 2024 2025 $1,632,384 $503,771 Unfunded Route 16 from 90 to 45 min 2024 2025 $1,561,054 $503,771 Unfunded Route 121 - add one AM, one PM 2024 2025 $1,632,384 $503,771 Unfunded Route 14 from 60 to 30 min 2024 2025 $2,439,146 $512,698 Unfunded Route 17/18 from 90 to 45 minutes 2024 2025 $2,585,495 $503,771 Unfunded Route 11 from 30 to 20 mins 2024 2025 $6,529,536 $503,771 Unfunded Route 12 from 90 to 45 mins 2024 2025 $2,829,466 $503,771 Unfunded Route 13 from 40 to 30 min 2024 2025 $837,115 $512,698 Unfunded 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 154 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 17 | P a g e CAT TDP 2024–2033 Implementation Plan (Plan from FY 23 TDP APR) – (cont.)

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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 157 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 20 | P a g e Objective/ Initiative Description Timeline/ Implemented 2024 Assessment Target Goal 1: Operate reliable, convenient, and cost-effective mobility services that safely and efficiently meet the mobility needs of Collier County’s workers, residents, and visitors. Objective 1.1 Improve efficiency, service quality, and level of service to adequately serve workers, residents, and visitors while contributing to the economic vitality of the county. Initiative 1.1.1 Operate east/west corridor service to provide access to jobs, education, healthcare and community services, and recreation. Ongoing CAT has several routes that further this initiative. Route 27 runs along Immokalee Road from Collier Boulevard to Creekside Commerce Park; Route 25 provides service along Golden Gate Parkway; Route 20 provides service along Pine Ridge Rd; and Route 24 provides service along Tamiami Trail E from the Government Center to 6 L’s Farm and frequency has been enhanced.

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. Completed Regional Service and Fares Study in 2024 and evaluate bus rapid transit as part of FDOT study. Initiative 1.1.5 Provide mobility-on-demand service in areas with lower density of demand than is productive for fixed-route service and to access areas that are not able to be served by fixed-route. 2029 CAT ran a pilot service offering mobility- on-demand in the Bayshore area which was successful in FY23. Areas have been identified for potential MOD. This type of service will have to be further evaluated and funding identified before it can be implemented. Implement 2 MOD projects from the implementation plan by 2029. Objective 1.2 Provide adequate bus stop amenities at all stops according to bus stop threshold and accessibility guidelines within available fiscal capacity. Initiative 1.2.1 Pursue funding to maintain and improve existing bus stops. Ongoing Collier County pursues funding for improvements to bus stops on an ongoing basis.

Ongoing Collier County continues to explore ways to expand service within existing funding limitations. The service expansion identified for FY24 has been pushed out another year. Implement at least 2 service expansions from the implementation plan. Initiative 1.3.3 Focus transit and mobility services in areas with high employment and dwelling unit densities and connect targeted jobs-housing locations to serve the workforce, including Golden Gate Estates and areas located in the eastern portion of the county. Ongoing CAT currently provides service in these areas but will continues to explore funding opportunities for improved service to these areas. Changes were made to service Route 21 closer to Golden Gate City allowing for more workers to commute to Marco on the bus. By 2029, implement MOD or expanded service for Golden Gate Estates area from Implementation plan. Initiative 1.3.4 Focus improved service frequency on transit routes that serve high mobility needs communities; target service frequency of hourly or better where demand and fiscal capacity allow; apply mobility on demand (MOD) solutions for areas with lower population densities and where fixed-route service is not productive and cost-effective. 2025, 2026, 2029 CAT has implemented 22% of the total listed frequency enhancements from the Major TDP Update. We were unable to implement frequency enhancements within this fiscal year. CAT continues to explore MOD options with plans for implementation by 2029.

Implement recommendations from the current park-and-ride study. Ongoing CAT is working with Commuter Services to continue promoting vanpooling as a great option with major employers. A park and ride study has been conducted identifying potential properties suitable for these facilities. We have developed one of the park and ride lots along Immokalee Rd. with parking for up to 20 cars. Funding opportunities will be pursued for the acquisition and/or development of further lots. Meet quarterly with FDOT and Commute Connector to discuss the progress and effectiveness of the Vanpool service. Pursue Park and Ride Study initiatives towards acquisition and construction of lots in the future. Initiative 1.4.3 Coordinate with the CAT Connect paratransit program to identify and target areas with high TD ridership and lower density of demand and develop programs to shift TD riders to a mobility on demand for a solution with connections to the fixed-route network. Ongoing Collier County previously obtained a grant through Florida Developmental Disabilities Council to provide on demand service, which has provided valuable information regarding how to operate this type of service. Unfortunately, due to the cost of maintaining the service, MOD service will be evaluated for future implementation. Implement at least one MOD service from Implementation plan based on paratransit ridership data. Initiative 1.4.4 Require local governments and FDOT to provide accessible sidewalks, bus stops, and other bus stop improvements within roadway projects and all new developments. Ongoing CAT staff currently attends the MPO’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Congestion Management Committee (CMC) committee meetings and encourages accessible sidewalks and bus stop improvements be added as part of every project.

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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 180 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development 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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 181 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 44 | P a g e • 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. 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 182 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 45 | P a g e Table 5-1 MPO Approved 2023/2024 Transit Priority List 4.C.3 Packet Pg. 183 Attachment: CAT’s FY2024 Transit Development Plan Annual Progress Repo (29854 : Ratify Collier Area Transit’s FY2024 Transit Development Collier Area Transit – Transit Development Plan FY 2024 Annual Progress Report 46 | P a g e CAT submits the new transit priorities on an annual basis to the MPO, CAT’s updated Transit Priorities List comprises various approved plans, including the Park and Ride Study, Transit Asset Management, and the Major Transit Development Plan.

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. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 310 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 2-1 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. Figure 2-1.

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. 1 2023 American Community Survey 5-year estimates vintage year 2023. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 312 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 2-3 Figure 2-3.

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). 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 314 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 3-2 Table 3-1.

Executive Order 13166 Describes requirements to develop plans for people for whom English is not their native language or who have limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English. Americans with Disabilities Act Requires coordinating with disabled community representatives in the development and improvement of transportation services. Persons with disabilities also must be able to access the sites where public involvement activities occur as well as the information presented. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law/ Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Allows MPOs to use social media and other web-based tools to encourage public participation in the planning process. Requires specific housing considerations during the planning process which include:  Updating MPO policies to consider enhanced connections between housing and employment  Consulting with local housing officials encouraged by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Secretary  Consideration of projects that promote consistency between transportation and housing patterns  Adding population and housing distribution to optional scenarios as part of the LRTP development  Adding affordable housing organizations on the MPO’s stakeholder list for coordination and comment on the LRTP  Integrating housing, transportation, and economic development strategies through a process that provides effective integration through development of a housing coordination plan State Government-in-the- Sunshine Law s.286.011, Florida Statutes Provides the public with basic right of access to most meetings and records of boards, commissions, and other governing bodies of state and local governmental agencies; and requires meeting minutes to be publicly accessible. s.339.175, Florida Statutes Describes the requirement for MPOs to provide reasonable opportunities for all parties to participate and comment on LRTPs. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 315 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 4-1 4. Guiding Principles Public involvement for the Collier MPO 2050 LRTP Update will comply with the federal, state, and local requirements by adhering to the following guiding principles:2  Early and continuous public involvement opportunities throughout the planning and programming process  Timely information to citizens, affected public agencies, representatives of transportation agencies, private sector transportation entities, and other interested parties including segments of the community affected by transportation plans, programs, and projects  Adequate public notice of public involvement activities and ample time for public review and comment at key decision points  Consideration of the needs of the traditionally underserved, including low-income and minority citizens  Periodic review of public involvement efforts by the MPO to ensure full and open access to all  Review of public involvement procedures by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration when necessary  Coordination of MPO public involvement processes with statewide efforts whenever possible  Reasonable public access to information  Consideration and reasonable response to public comments received 2 Collier MPO Public Participation Plan (PPP) adopted June 12, 2020. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 316 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 5-1 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. Figure 5-1. Collier MPO Board Members 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 317 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 5-2 Figure 5-2. LRTP Development and Guidance 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 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 318 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 5-3 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 Islands Aquatic Preserve - Collier-Seminole State Park - Picayune Strand State Forest - Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park - Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park - Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest - South Florida Water Management District - Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission  Land Management Nonprofit Agencies - National Audubon Society – Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 319 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 5-4 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. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 320 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 6-1 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. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 321 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 7-1 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. Figure 7-1. 2050 LRTP Branding Logos 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 322 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 7-2 Figure 7-2. 2050 LRTP Branding Stamp 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. 10.A.2 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. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 324 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 7-4 Specifically, the tool offers the following benefits:  Allows participation at times that are the best for the participant  Collects input through mapping, images, and comments  Allows participants to upload information and pictures of areas of concern  Summarizes data easily 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. Figure 7-3.

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). Additionally, an archive of MPO Board meeting recordings is available online on Collier TV. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 326 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 8-2 Figure 8-1. Major Milestones 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.A.2 Packet Pg. 327 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 9-1 9.

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. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 330 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 11-1 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. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 331 Attachment: Draft Public Involvement Plan (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Public Involvement Plan) Public Involvement Plan 12-1 12.

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).

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 1‐6 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1-6.

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; Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐9 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1-7. 2050 LRTP Development and Guidance 10.A.3Packet Pg. 383Attachment: Draft Chapter 1 Introduction (29865 : Presentation on 2050 LRTP Process, Chapters 1 and 3; Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐10 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.3 Federal and State Planning Requirements 1.3.1 Federal The FDOT MPO Program Management Handbook (updated 2024) outlines the federal requirements for the LRTP. 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; Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 1‐15 Chapter 1 Introduction  Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system  Improve the resilience of transportation infrastructure In addition to adhering to these requirements, other statutory requirements set forth by the state of Florida regarding LRTP development are presented in Appendix A (pending). 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.

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 Source: FDOT 2023e “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.” Collier MPO 2050 LRTP Vision Statement 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 391 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-2 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework 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 regulatory system 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 392 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & 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 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 393 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-4 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework • 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. 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 394 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-5 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework 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 for Users • Goal #7: Promote Multimodal Solutions • Goal #8: Promote the Integrated Planning of Transportation and Land Use • Goal #9: Promote Sustainability and Equity in Transportation Planning and Land Use for Disadvantaged Communities • Goal #10: Consider Agile, Resilient, and Quality Transportation Infrastructure in Transportation Decision- Making • Goal #11: Consider Emerging Mobility and its Influential Role on the Multimodal Transportation System 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 395 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-6 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework The Collier MPO staff presented these goals and associated objectives for consideration by the CAC and TAC during their regular meetings on (date pending). They were approved to carry forward in the 2050 LRTP by the Collier MPO Board on (date pending). Figure 3-3. LRTP Development Framework 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 396 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-7 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework 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 weather events, particularly hurricanes and wildfires. As a result, emphasis has been placed on enhancing important evacuation routes. The total weighting factor for this goal is 8%. Objectives: • Enhance important evacuation routes • Maintain sound transportation components of the emergency management plan for Collier County The 2021 Collier County Comprehensive Emergency 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 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, 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 397 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-8 Chapter 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework pandemic outbreak, mass migration incident, and civil infrastructure disruption.

However, because of the potential safety benefits, the Collier MPO is exploring ways to incorporate these technologies into the transportation network. The total weighting factor for this goal is 4%. Objectives: • Consider the development and implementation of emerging mobility options in the transportation system • Consider new guidance and developments during the LRTP process Project Evaluation Criteria: • Uses technological improvements (for example, ITS, Transit Signal Priority, and so forth) that will foster the development and growth of emerging mobility in the transportation system 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. 10.A.4 Packet Pg. 403 Attachment: Draft Chapter 3 Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework (Vision, Goals & Collier MPO 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan 3-14 3 2050 LRTP Planning Context and Decision-Making Framework Table 3-1. 2050 LRTP Evaluation Criteria and Performance Measures Goal Evaluation Criteria Performance Measures 1.

Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 5 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. 11.B.2 Packet Pg. 450 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 6 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. 11.B.2 Packet Pg. 451 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 7 LOCAL AND REGIONAL PLANNING PRIORITIES FY 2022/23 and FY 2023/24 UPWP Transportation Planning Priorities Completing many technical plans and studies that support the development of the LRTP will be a focus of this UPWP. Additionally, the MPO will be updating the Environmental Justice analysis previously completed, by completing an Equity Analysis which will assist in the development of the LRTP and related technical plans. 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 8 Committee (TAC) and the Lee MPO participates in the Collier TAC. The MPOs will continue to work together to endorse and adopt regional priorities for enhancements, TRIP, highway, and transit projects. In addition, the Collier MPO participates in meetings of the Coordinated Urban Transportation Systems (CUTS), the Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC), and in district and state-wide meetings with FDOT. AIR QUALITY PLANNING ACTIVITIES The Collier MPO is in an air quality attainment area and does not anticipate completing any non- attainment planning activities at this time; however, the MPO planning area’s air quality continues to be monitored and staff participates in training as needed. SOFT MATCH Section 120 of Title 23, U.S.C, permits a state to use certain toll revenue expenditures as a credit toward the non-federal matching share of all programs authorized by Title 23, (with the exception of Emergency Relief Programs) and for transit programs authorized by Chapter 53 of Title 49, U.S.C. This is in essence a “soft-match” provision that allows the federal share to be increased up to 100% to the extent credits are available. The “soft match” amount being utilized to match the FHWA funding in this UPWP is 18.07% of FHWA program funds for a total of $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 Florida Department of Transportation- District One District Wide Planning activities for FY22/23- FY23/24 include the following: • GIS Application Development and System Maintenance • Systems Planning and Reviews • Interchange Reviews • Travel Demand Model Development • ETDM/Community Impact Assessment • Statistics • Federal Functional Classification • Traffic Counts Program • Modal Development Technical Support • Transportation Alternatives Program Development • Commuter Services • State Highway System Corridor Studies • Growth Management Impact Reviews • Complete Streets Studies • Freight Mobility Support 11.B.2 Packet Pg. 453 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 9 • Promoting and coordinating Safety for all modes of transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian As part of the 3 “C” planning process, District staff coordinate planning activities with the MPO. MPO Board and Advisory Committee members are notified of project meetings within the MPO area. FDOT staff present status reports to the MPO Board and Advisory Committees to solicit feedback on planning activities and to ensure that District planning studies and MPO planning activities are coordinated. CPG PARTICIPATION STATEMENT “The FDOT and the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization participate in the Consolidated Grant Program (CPG). The CPG enables FDOT, in cooperation with the MPO, FHWA, and FTA, to annually consolidate Florida’s FHWA PL and FTA 5305(d) metropolitan planning fund allocations into a single grant that is administered by the FHWA’s Florida Division. These funds are annually apportioned to FDOT as the direct recipient and allocated to the MPO by FDOT utilizing formulas approved by the MPO, FDOT, FHWA, and FTA in accordance with 23 CFR 420.109 and 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. The FDOT is fulfilling the CPG’s required 18.07% non-federal share (match) using Transportation Development Credits as permitted by 23 CFR 120(j) and FTA C 8100.1D.” PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS The development of the UPWP has been subject to public review and comment and is consistent with the Collier MPO’s adopted Public Participation Plan (PPP). The draft is sent to the TAC and CAC for review, announced on the Collier MPO website and sent to interested parties via email to the MPO’s listserv on the date the TAC/CAC agenda packets are posted and distributed. MPO staff responds in writing to input received from the public and all comments received from the public, advisory committee members and Board members are memorialized and addressed in this document. All comments received, including from FHWA, FTA, and FDOT have been addressed and incorporated into Appendix D of the final document. A draft of this UPWP was endorsed by the Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees on February 28, 2022 and reviewed by the MPO Board on April 8, 2022. The final document was endorsed by the Citizens and Technical Advisory Committee on April 25, 2022 and approved by the MPO Board on May 13, 2022. 11.B.2 Packet Pg. 454 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 10 FEDERAL PLANNING FACTORS In December 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law. The FAST act identified the following ten planning factors which have been incorporated into the MPO Planning Process and this UPWP: 1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency; 2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight; 5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns; 6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight; 7. Promote efficient system management and operation; 8. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation; 9. Enhance travel and tourism; and, 10. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system In addition to the planning factors noted above, MAP-21 required that State DOTs and MPOs conduct performance-based planning by tracking performance measures and setting data-driven targets to improve those measures. Performance-based planning ensures the most efficient investment of federal transportation funds by increasing accountability, transparency, and providing for better investment decisions that focus on key outcomes related to seven national goals which include:  Improving Safety;  Maintaining Infrastructure Condition;  Reducing Traffic Congestion;  Improving the Efficiency of the System and Freight Movement;  Protecting the Environment; and,  Reducing Delays in Project Delivery. The FAST Act supplemented the MAP-21 legislation by establishing timelines for State DOTs and MPOs to comply with the requirements of MAP-21. State DOTs are required to establish statewide targets and MPOs have the option to support the statewide targets or adopt their own. The Collier MPO has chosen to support the statewide targets. The transition to performance-based planning is ongoing and has been addressed within the tasks identified in this UPWP, specifically within the LRTP, the TIP, and the TSPR. The Collier MPO intends to coordinate with FDOT and member agencies to fully comply with the performance-based planning requirements. In November 2021 the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was signed into law. This legislation carries forward the policies, programs, and initiatives established by preceding legislation (FAST Act and MAP-21) to maintain and improve the nation’s surface transportation system. The IIJA carries forward and expands on these policies and introduces new policies and programs that address 11.B.2 Packet Pg. 455 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 11 new and emerging issues that face the nation’s transportation system. These issues include mitigating impacts to existing infrastructure due to climate change, developing and maintaining system resiliency, ensuring equity, researching and deploying new technologies, and improving safety for all users. TABLE 1 – PLANNING FACTOR MATRIX FEDERAL AND STATE PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS STATE PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS – 2022 The Florida Department of Transportation Office of Policy Planning develops Planning Emphasis Areas on a two-year cycle in coordination with the development of Metropolitan Planning Organizations’ respective unified planning work programs. Emphasis areas set planning priorities, support the Florida Transportation Plan, and give importance to topic areas which MPOs are encouraged to address as they develop their planning programs. Implementation of the seven goals of the Florida Transportation Plan requires embracing innovation; extensive collaboration across jurisdictions, modes and disciplines; an emphasis on customer service; data and performance feedback; and strategic investments for the efficient and effective allocation of resources. The Collier MPO has considered the four topics shown below and included them in studies identified in this UPWP. Safety The Florida Transportation Plan and the State’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan place top priority on safety, with a state target of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. In addition to adopting safety targets, the MPOs must show how their Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and priority projects in their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) support progress toward those targets. The UPWP should consider enhancements to data analyses and community involvement to better inform the identification and prioritization of safety projects.

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. 11.B.2 Packet Pg. 457 Attachment: Clean copy of Modification 2 to Collier MPO’s Fifth Amended FY 22/23-23/24 UPWP (Appendices omitted) (29867 : Administrative 13 FEDERAL PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS – 2022 FHWA and FTA have jointly issued PEAs for FY 22 UPWPs.

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. 11.C.1 Packet Pg. 502 Attachment: Administrative Modification No. 1 to the FY2025-2029 TIP (29868 : Administrative Modification to the FY 25-29 TIP (FDOT TIP From:Kosheleva, Dasha To:Anne McLaughlin Subject:RE: TIP Review and Comments from Central Office.

EXTERNAL SENDER: Use caution with links and attachments. 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 Executive Director 2885 S.
